From MindaNews (Oct 5): Preparing for the signing: GPH, MILF draw lessons from previous peace pacts

In crafting the framework agreement that is expected to be signed soon, the Philippine government (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) have been drawing lessons from previous peace pacts....One lesson is not to sign a one-time peace agreement like those with the MNLF, but a series of agreements....Also, while the peace panels in 1976 and 1996 were disbanded after the signing, the GPH-MILF peace panels now will continue existing and negotiating for subsequent agreements....Other peace process mechanisms such as the Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities, International Monitoring Team and International Contact Group are expected to also continue, albeit adjustments may have to be made on their respective mandates....
