Advocacy for indigenous community held in Colombio

From the MILF Website (Mar 4): Advocacy for indigenous community held in Colombio



An advocacy program on the Framework Agreement and the GPH-MILF Peace Process was held for the B’laan indigenous peoples in Colombio, Sultan Kudarat.

The activity was held on February 26 at Barangay Mayo. Prof. Esmael Abdula, BLMI’s Steering Committee member; Moidjoddin Talusob, Executive Director of Kalilintad Development Foundation, Inc. (KDFI) and the Director of Damakling Provincial Committee on Information were the guest speakers. 
   
The forum was attended by 500 mixed participants from the indigenous peoples and Maguindanaon residents in contiguous areas of Maguindanao and was sponsored by the indigenous people of Mayo in coordination with the local political committee of Damakling Province and the Municipal Government of Colombio.

The program achieved overwhelming positive responses from the B‘laans after listening to the salient features of the FAB and the inclusiveness of the basic law that is being crafted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC). For the B’laans, the agreement will ultimately redound to lasting peace and sustainable development in Mindanao.
