The organizers have been in close coordination with the local officials in the area before conducting information drive to ensure that all stake holders are properly informed and coordinated.

The barangays in the city that are predominantly populated by Moros are lined-up for advocacy programs and a lot of them were already covered.  These communities are pro FAB and its people are expected to vote for their inclusion in the proposed Bangsamoro region when it is brought to the people for ratification. Other localities whose people are sensed to be against or neutral on the FAB will also be visited in due time.

The organizers are moving heaven and earth in promoting peace and unity by way of vigorously undertaking advocacies so that the people may properly understand what   FAB is all about and its benefits to them. Organizers are also providing consistent and valuable information that may serve the interest of the general welfare which everyone in Zamboanga City is yearning and struggling for doable peace & sustainable development are realized not only in the Bangsamoro region but in the entire country.
