MILF: MILF political committee conducts advocacy in Isabela City

From the MILF Website (Dec 6): MILF political committee conducts advocacy in Isabela City



The advocacy on the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement was held in Barrio Militar Barangay Menzi, Isabela City last December 1. The theme was:”Clear and In-depth Understanding on The Bangsamoro Framework Agreement through Advocacy”. The said advocacy was hosted by Lantawan District Chairman Abu Osama Almujahid and Haj Yasher M. Judja his Vice Chairman. More than 100 men and women attended the forum. The guests included YCC Chairman, the Vice Chairman and the CRA Director Atty. Ahmad Alamin who was tasked to elaborate and explain the meaning of the Framework Agreement and the road map. The attendees were mostly from municipal level down to the Barangay officials of the MILF political organs. Alamin explained that the FAB, in contrast to the 1996 Agreement, did not foreclose the Bangsamoro right to self-determination. “The FAB in essence has higher authority and fiscal autonomy given to the Bangsamoro government,” he emphasized.

The participants expressed deep appreciation for the effort to enable them to understand not only the literal meaning of the FAB but also its nuances. They were particularly happy to know the differences between the FAB and the 1976 Tripoli Agreement and the 1996 GPH-MNLF Final Peace Agreement. MILF political leaders representing Yakan City and Basilan Province took turns to exhort the participants to cooperate with one another to support the ongoing GPH-MILF peace negotiation and the for the full implementation of the FAB. They also expressed gratitude to the leadership of the MILF and its peace panel for their unwavering and exemplary leadership in fighting for the common interest of the Bangsamoro people.....
