From the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Oct 14): Framework pact with PH gov’t the ‘best’ since 1997—MILF
.... In a statement, the MILF said the
framework agreement “is a template for real self-rule for the Bangsamoro in
Mindanao.” “It is a solid document, (although) short
of the ideal option providing for an independent state,” it added. “Of course, it is not a perfect agreement,
especially for those who wish for a better one. But for those who have been in
the negotiation since 1997, especially negotiators of the MILF, the agreement is
the best,” the MILF stressed. “There could never be another like it,
because so much blood, sweat, and tears have been invested in it and there would
have been no time in the past and perhaps in the future that such Agreement will
ever be possible,” the group added. “The two parties have given their best and
for them, this is the best compromise. Pushing them for more concessions is like
pushing them to go to war,” the MILF further said....
