A committee of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in Kapatagan, Lanao del Sur in coordination with the Chairman of Barangay Bakikis and the principal of Bakikis High School jointly conducted peace advocacy on the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro on the 17th of November 2013 at Bakikis Elementary School Campus.
Barangay Bakikis has a mixture of Moro and a non-Moro population. The non-Moro residents belong mostly to the Cebuano tribe who settled in the area and constitute the minority.
The speakers delved on the gains of the GPH-MILF peace process and the recognition and support afforded to the Moro Front by the international community; and the sympathy for its cause that motivates the Front to pursue its aspiration for self-determination.
The audience constituting various sectors such as farmers, fishermen, professionals and other stakeholders manifested their interest on the discussions about the provisions of the FAB especially on the signed revenue generation and wealth sharing annex. Other things that attracted the interest of the participants are the present development taking place at the peace negotiation and the foreseen restoration of just peace, tranquility and freedom once Bangsamoro government is establish.
Some settlers in attendance asked for an assurance for the protection of their rights and security under the envisioned Bangsamoro Government. A senior officer of the Committee on Information cited Article VI of the FAB, Section 1 which enumerated the basic rights of all citizens residing within the Bangsamoro territory. Those rights guaranteed the security and protection of all residents in the Bangsamoro regardless of religion, tribal affiliation, etc. The officer also mentioned Section 2 of same the article which states that vested property rights shall be recognized and respected.
After the activity wound up the team left for Cotabato City.
