The Government of the Philippines (GPH) and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) International and Local Monitoring Teams paid tribute to the staff of Kalinaw Sarangani Unit under the Office of the Governor of Sarangani as the program ends.
In a Peace Partners Gathering Program held in a beach resort in Glan, Sarangani Province on June 27, 2013, a Kanduli (thanksgiving) was held for the program implementers.
Lt Col Syed Islam bin Shahajam, from the Royal Malaysian Armed Forces and IMT Site 4 Team Leader expressed his appreciation to KSU for all its efforts to keep Sarangani generally peaceful.
KSU and IMT for the past couple of years have jointly conducted peace orientations in the barangays and informed the community members on the role of the IMT.
Pat Sol, from the Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP), also thanked KSU for the assistance it gave to help educate the constituents of Sarangani about the duties and functions of peace monitors and monitoring peace and order situation of the province.
Local Monitoring Team members Ibrahim Macatimbol and Ustadz Abdulbayan Laguialam said KSU was instrumental in enjoining the community members to embrace and maintain peace.
The peace stakeholders which included the KSU staff also recalled their efforts that supported the GPH-MILF Peace Process.
Among those initiatives were the conduct of peace-based capacity building trainings, monitoring local peace and order situation, delivery of peace projects, and conduct of orientation on the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) for 32 barangays spearheaded by KSU.
Local MILF personalities and other Moro organizations also helped educate the communities on the FAB orientations.
Established in 2006, Kalinaw Sarangani implemented the Provincial Peace and Development Program on which the component projects include conducting Culture of Peace Trainings in the communities, supporting the Madaris program and Moro cultural activities, and implementing projects that support peace and development of grassroots communities with development institutions.
Kalinaw Sarangani is coterminous with the stint of Sarangani Governor Miguel Rene A. Dominguez whose third consecutive term as governor ends on June 30, 2013.
The peace and development program gave the province its First Galing Pook Award, a national recognition for local government units that implement innovative and worth emulating projects that demonstrate good governance support to the constituents.
Jocelyn Lambac-Kanda, KSU Program Manager, said the Kalinaw Sarangani team may be dissolved but its members will continue their peace efforts in their capacity as private individuals or Non-Government Organization.
Most of its team members are conveners of an organization of peace advocates known as Circle of Peacebuilders (COPs).
Sarangani Board Member Virgilio Clark Tobias said “The provincial government owes you a lot. KSU has done something in getting the support of the people to the province,” he pointed out.
