Government of the Philippines (GPH) peace panel chair Miriam Coronel-Ferrer assured that the Aquino administration wants an agreement based on a “solid foundation that will withstand the scrutiny of the skeptics, the misgivings of the unconvinced, and the cynicism of the critical.”
Coronel-Ferrer made the statement Tuesday during the opening ceremony of the 37th Formal Exploratory Talks between the GPH and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in
The peace panel chief said the Aquino administration also aims to sign the remaining annexes confidently by taking the time needed to thoroughly to review them. According to Coronel-Ferrer, that is the reason why the 37th round of talks originally set for March was rescheduled for April.
Coronel-Ferrer also underscored that “our President, this government panel, our government, are not the type who will promise the moon, the sun, and the stars, only to leave you later in the dark or to your own resources when the going gets even tougher.”
“I can tell you that the Cabinet members have gone out of their way to shepherd this process. Many have spent time with us seeking solutions, providing context, broadening understanding,” Coronel-Ferrer said.
“Our agenda remains clear: we solve the remaining issues across the three annexes, seek the creative compromises, and find the right language,” she added.
The peace panels are currently trying to hammer out the remaining annexes on wealth-sharing, power-sharing and normalization.
The Annex on Transitional Arrangements and Modalities (TAM), which lays out the road map for the establishment of Bangsamoro, was signed by the parties on February 27.
