PNoy satisfied with progress of MILF peace deal

From ABS-CBN (Jun 14): PNoy satisfied with progress of MILF peace deal

President Benigno Aquino has not expressed disappointment in the delay in the signing of the final peace deal between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a Palace spokesperson said on Friday.

"I have not heard any expression of disappointment at least on the part of the President on the progress of the annexes," deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said.

Valte said the government and MILF peace panels continue to work on the remaining annexes before a final and comprehensive peace agreement could be forged.

MILF First Vice Chairman Ghazali Jaafar on Wednesday said he is dissatisfied with the slow pace of peace talks with the Philippine government.

In October last year, the two sides signed an initial peace pact aimed at ending decades of conflict in Mindanao.
