MILF: Sulu Provincial Gov’t will host forum on the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro

From the MILF Website (Nov 25): Sulu Provincial Gov’t will host forum on the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro

The Province of Sulu is known to be a core territory of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), indeed until today some MNLF ground commanders and fighters still hoping to have their own government despite the uncertainty. Most of the time, the MNLF holds several meetings on the ground because they don’t recognized nor accept the new agreement between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). To enlighten the mind and heart of the Bangsamoro in the island, the Provincial Information Officer and a representative from the MILF Committee on Information held forums at barangay level and afterwards proceeded to other barangays to provide accurate information and enlighten the people about the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro. Relatively, the Sulu Provincial Government will host a forum on the Framework Agreement this coming December 4, 2012 at the Capitol Multi-purpose Gym in Patikul, Sulu. They sent an invitation to ARMM Regional Governor Mujiv S. Hataman; the Regional Vice Governor, members of the regional legislative assembly, congressmen from the ARMM provinces, provincial governors and other provincial executives; representatives from different sectors of society, the academe and students. However the organizers did not sent letter of invitations to the two Moro Fronts.  On his part, Governor Tan expressed his full support to the Agreement and the forum that he is initiating is aimed at getting inputs and accurate information so it will be disseminated to his constituents and be enlightened about its importance to the Bangsamoro people. The irony however is the non-invitation of members of the GPH-MILF Peace Panels or members of the MILF Central Committee who undeniably the right source of true and accurate information, whose chief negotiators were signatories to the agreement.
