The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will release the names of those who will be appointed to the Transition Commission (TC) by no later than the middle of next month. The TC, which is composed of 15 members including the chairman, has three major tasks namely: to write the Basic Law, to propose amendments to the Constitution, and to coordinate, if necessary, development projects in the area of the Bangsamoro. Eight of the members including the chairman will be nominated by the MILF and seven to be nominated by the government. The disclosure was made by Muhammad Ameen, chair of the MILF Secretariat, during an interview with Luwaran today. However, he clarified that the names will only be released after the Executive Order to create the TC will come out and signed by President Benigno Aquino III. Asked to describe the eight MILF TC members, Ameen made the assurance that the composition will be well-balanced and representative of the major blocs in the MILF and tribes in Mindanao. He said the MILF TC members will include one woman and one member of the indigenous tribes. He disclosed that as early as October the MILF has already shortlisted some 15 names which was trimmed to just eight names early this month.
