The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has cautioned the government against using the Bangsamoro as a leverage to secure more funds from donor agencies.
“The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has made it clear as a matter of policy in dealing with the Aquino administration and foreign entities that any development programme intended for Mindanao should exclude the Bangsamoro to avoid confusion and to give justice to it,” Mohammad Ameen, chairperson of the MILF Secretariat said in an article posted on the front’s Luwaran website.
Last October 2012, the MILF has signed a “Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro” with the administration of President Benigno Aquino III as a prelude to a final peace pact. Along with the signing of the pact were statements of support from donor agencies that it will assist the Bangsamoro get an even footing.
Ameen said there are growing interests of many states and international aid agencies as well as investors to come to the Bangsamoro and take part in the rehabilitation and development of the new political entity.
