Editorial posted to the MILF Website (Nov 16-22): ‘There is no other option’
In his unwritten opening remarks during the 33rd GPH-MILF Exploratory Talks in Kuala Lumpur, the MILF peace panel chairman bluntly asserted that there is no other option for the parties except to agree on the remaining issues especially on power-sharing and wealth-sharing, because their inability to do so would put on hold their gains after the parties signed the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro. Given the limited timeline, the possibility of complications creeping in, should be avoided by the parties.... It is on this spirit that the Philippine government should conduct itself in the current negotiation with the MILF. As their Framework Agreement has already provided the template, the Bangsamoro should be given powers and wealth more than what the local government units are now enjoying and more than what the confines of the current laws allows. If the government negotiators are only negotiating on what is already in existence, then the whole exercise loses its sense, direction, and purpose.
