Officers and staff of the 6th Infantry Division have expressed elation over the upcoming historic signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro on March 27.
The agreement, said 6th ID spokesman Col. Dickson Hermoso, will put an end to the fighting in Central Mindanao.
Soldiers are among those who seek peace in the island of Mindanao, he said, as they put their lives on the line every time there is fighting.
During the past several years, a number of 6th ID soldiers have laid their lives in fighting between the military and elements of the Moro Islamic Liberation Movement.
High alert
6th ID troops on the ground will nonetheless be in their respective areas of responsibility in case of violent expressions of opposition to the signing.
In a related development, high-ranking officials of the 6th ID are expected to attend the signing in Malacanang on Wednesday.
Wide-screen television sets have been set up in different parts of Mindanao, including in the MILF’s Camp Darapanan, City Plaza in Cotabato, ARMM Compound, and in centers of the five ARMM provinces, so that residents may witness the signing.
A peace concert and numerous celebrations are scheduled in Mindanao tomorrow.
