From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 31): ARMM taps Ulama to explains Framework
of Agreement provisions
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is tapping the assistance of the
Ulama (Muslim religious scholars) to inform and make the Bangsamoro people
understand Framework of Agreement provisions based from the religious
perspective.
ARMM Regional Secretary Jamar Kulayan said without the assistance of the
Ulama the people might still have second thoughts on the national government
sincerity in signing the Framework of Agreement on the Bangsamoro.
The national government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) have
signed the Framework Agreement last October 15 in a ceremony held in Malacañan
Palace, witnessed by President Benigno Simeon Aquino, III, Malaysian Prime
Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, and other dignitaries.
The Framework of Agreement on the Bangsamoro will pave the way for the
establishment of the new autonomous political entity, the Bangsamoro, to replace
the ARMM.
“As much as possible we want to bridge the gap especially during the
transition of the new entity so the people will understand, appreciate,
recognize and comprehend on the new provisions of the law,” Kulayan said.
He said ARMM’s Department of Education (ARMM-DepEd) has been ordered to work
with the Ulama in explaining to the people the Framework of Agreement.
More than 30 Ulama attended a three-day “Regional Ulama Summit” from Monday
until Wednesday in this city in preparation for the conduct of information drive
concerning the Framework of Agreement.
