From the MILF Website (Jan 16): Zamboanga Sibugay stakeholders oriented on FAB

Close to a thousand stakeholders were oriented on the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) during a consultation at the Municipal Gymnasium at Kabasalan, Zamboanga Sibugay on January 7, 2013 headed by Kabasalan Mayor George C. Cainglet and Vice-Mayor Freddie Chu. The audiences which included farmers, fisherfolks, media, students, NGOs, community members and religious groups learned the salient points and the prospects of the framework accord.

Datu Antonio Kinoc, MILF Peace Panel Member and Atty Galvasch Ballaho, Deputy Director of Mindanao Human Rights Action Center (MinHRAC) were the resource persons. The two speakers elucidated the importance of the FAB in the quest for a lasting peace and development in southern Philippines. They also answered queries from the participants during the open forum.

They also urged full support of the people of Zambonga Sibugay to the GPH-MILF Peace Process.
Mayor Gemma Adana from the municipality of Naga also attended the gathering. She hoped the Moros and non-Moros will remain brothers and sisters and work together to maintain peace and order the whole province of Zambonga Sibugay.

Mayor Cainglet expressed his support for the full implementation of the framework agreement.
Representatives from the Indigenous Peoples and the Political Committees of the MILF in the locality also gave their messages of support.

After the signing of FAB in Malacañang Palace on October 15 last year, the local MILF Information Committee, Political Committee and the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces have been active in the information dissemination on the FAB through consultations with the communities of Zambonga Sibugay.
