Posted to the MILF Website (Feb 8): Tawi-Tawi professionals hopeful with Bangsamoro Government

In a meeting last January 23 with MILF 1st Vice Chairman Ghazali Jaafar in his office at Simuay, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao, some 20 executives representing the bulk of professionals of Tawi-Tawi have shown positive outlook on the peace process between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
  
According to Professor Ali Ibrahim, one of the senior members of the group, they are part of 120 group of professionals of Tawi-Tawi who are mostly occupying different executive positions in the government and in the business sectors. Most of them are Sama, the majority among the tribes of the province of Tawi-Tawi and were graduates and employed with the Mindanao State University (MSU)-Tawi-Tawi and Tawi-Tawi Regional Agricultural College (TRAC), the prominent government state colleges in the province.

Jaafar enlightened them on the progress of the negotiation, particularly with the remaining Annex on Normalization of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB).

The group was headed by Dr. Alpha Amirulhadj and Mr. Sirata Dais, the organizers. Tawi-Tawi Board Member Renier Samsuya was also with the group.

Meanwhile, Jaapar urged them to intensify the process of organizing people in the province and re-echo the updates on the peace process. As some members of the group are businessmen, business opportunities were discussed like joint ventures with  Singaporeans businessmen in putting up palm oil and rubber plantations in Tawi-Tawi.

They are scheduled the following day to meet MILF Chairman Al-hadj Murad Ebrahim to extend their support to the Moro Front and its officialdom relative to the peace process.
