MILF: Jamiat Cotabato holds forum on Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro

From the MILF Website (May 24): Jamiat Cotabato holds forum on Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro



The Jamiat Cotabato (Cotabato University) held a half-day forum on the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) on May 21, 2014 at the institution’s Compound, Barangay Mother Tamontaka, Cotabato City.
  
The objective of the forum was to develop students and faculty awareness on the 17-year old GPH-MILF Peace Process that led to the signing of the CAB; and other related issues pertaining to the envisioned Bangsamoro Region.  Resource persons were from the Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute (BLMI).

Sheikh Sam Alabat, BLMI Extension Service Unit head, in-charged for Community Organizing programs lectured on Shari’ah and Politics in Islam by underlining its inherent correlations. He also discussed the CAB’s essential features.

This writer, BLMI Research Unit Head, talked on the proposed ministerial form of Government for the Bangsamoro, political party formation and electoral system as stipulated in the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) which formed part of the CAB.  

Another engagement took place at GJ Compound, Crossing simuay, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao on May 22. The program was sponsored and facilitated by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Religious Sectors comprising the ulama (Islamic Scholars), Shari’ah Court members and Madaris teachers.

The BLMI Extension service and Research Unit Officers lectured on the CAB, the proposed Bangsamoro Region and other related issues.

Before the end of the program, a time was allotted for an open forum for participants to express their views, concerns and clarify matters on the issues at hand.

The organizers expressed their gratitude to BLMI Management for the valuable knowledge imparted to the participants. The participants went home enlightened and satisfied with the clarifications afforded to them on CAB and the proposed Bangsamoro new political entity.

With the upcoming Bangsamoro Region, the BLMI is not only a human capacitating agency but also extensively engaged in community programs on advocacy, research and community organizing. It is an institute that empowers the Moro people specifically MILF members, supporters and sympathizers in state-building endeavors.
