An advocacy program on the four annexes of the Framework Agreement on Bangsamoro (FAB) was held on March 1 at Atong-Atong, Lantawan, Basilan where about 200 individuals composed of farmers, fishermen, barangay officials, students of madaris and out-of-school youth attended.
The advocacy campaign was organized and spearheaded by the municipal district chairman and officers of Yakan City Committee of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front with the purpose of informing the grass-roots on the salient provisions of the FAB’s four annexes. The municipal district chairman emphasized during his presentation of the program’s overview the importance of knowing the progress in the GPH-MILF Peace Process.
Professor Ahmad Al-Amin, was tasked to explain the features of the four annexes where he was able to concisely clarify the transition process, mechanism and modalities under the Transitional Arrangements; the Intergovernmental Relations, Governance and the delineation of powers under the power sharing and stressed the non-diminution of powers already enjoyed by local government units.
Professor Al-Amin also told the mixed participants composed of Yakan, Sama and Tao Sugs that under the Wealth-Sharing and Revenue Generation Annex the so-called block grant is different from the Internal Revenue Allocation (IRA) already provided by the national government to local government units.
Professor Al-amin, clarified that the term decommissioning as provided for under the annex on Normalization does not mean surrendering MILF firearms but putting them beyond through a decommissioning body.
In his closing remarks, the head of the Farmers’ Sector of the Yakan City Committee said that every Bangsamoro shall enjoy the benefits of a strong and wider autonomous Bangsamoro Region. A learned Muslim who was among the organizers said that, “Under Bangsamoro, no one shall be left out”.
