From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 27): Bangsamoro Agreement: A salute to the victory of the Muslim and the broad masses interest for peace, justice and progress in Mindanao- RPMP/RPA/ABB
 
The following is the RPMP/RPA/ABB statement on the signing of the Bangsamoro agreement Thursday:

" It is with high hopes for a bright path of reconciliation and collaboration between the Government of the Republic of the Philipiines (GRP) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) for the interest of peace, justice and progress of the Muslim people and the broad masses in Mindanao that we salute the signing of a Peace Agreement on March 27, 2014.

"The RPMP/RPA/ABB has nothing less than the overwhelming interest of the broad masses of the people in Mindanao and the whole country for just and lasting peace at heart. The GRP and the MILF commitment forged in this agreement to end armed hostilities and undertake measures under mutually agreed terms to address the legitimate issues and demands of the Bangsamoro manifests their genuine and shared interest to uphold and work for the interest of the people. We extend our highest commendation to the leadership of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III Administration and the leaders of the MILF on this achievement.

"This signing heralds a historic step that will undertake the immense task of healing wounds of a decades-long armed conflict rooted in the centuries-old social injustice wrought by colonization on the early peoples of our country that still resonates and affects Mindanao and the whole Philippines.

"The RPMP/RPA/ABB recognizes that with this comes the equally challenging work of instituting reforms and changes so that democracy that values pluralism and social justice may truly bring about progress and development to all, especially to the Bangsamoro people.

"The GRP-MILF Peace Agreement deserves all the respect and needs all the support of peace and freedom loving peoples. The RPMP/RPA/ABB commits itself to this and wishes the best for its success towards a peaceful and prosperous Mindanao!"
