Responding to a request by the MILF-BIAF 118th Base Command who wanted to be updated on GPH-MILF Peace Process and other related issues, peace advocates from the Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute (BLMI), one of Mindanao’s leading and most active non-government organizations held advocacy at Barangay Tatapan, Datu Unsay, Maguindanao on June 19, 2014 facilitated by the base command’s medical and dental unit. Local residents as well as from neighboring barangays attended the program.
In a similar activity on June 23, 2014, the same team from the BLMI Extension Service and Research Units with some Ulama (Islamic Scholars) from MILF- Committee on Tarbiyah travelled to the coastal area of Barangay Kinemi, Datu Blah Sinsuat town in Maguindanao on board a pump-boat that took them about four hours before reaching the venue.
The activity was initiated and organized by the religious sector which coincided with the graduation ceremony of Madrasatul Ittihad Al- Islamiyah in the area. Ms. Lani L. Guiamadel, Secretary of Mindanao Women’s Advocacy for Good Governance and Arabic Teacher facilitated the program.
Sheikh Sam Alabat, BLMI Extension Service Unit in-charge on Community Organizing talked on Shari’ah Laws and Politics in Islam.
On his part, this writer, BLMI Research Unit head touched on governance for the envisioned Bangsamoro, political party formation and electoral system in a ministerial form of governance and stressing its salient points and comparisons with other systems of government.
Some ulama who were present and the MILF Municipal Chairman also shared some message of motivations on Bangsamoro cause in line with Islamic teachings. One gave emphasis that Islam covers all spectrums of struggle and human affairs that every Muslim needs consistent application.
At the end of the program, the villagers expressed their heartfelt gratitude to BLMI Management, lecturers as well as to the organizers for their efforts and the knowledge that they have shared.
Barangay Kinemi is a far-flung barangay with no access road, no electricity and system of telecommunication. Due to its geographical location, peace advocates seldom come to the locality. The villagers who are predominantly Moros rely on fishing and farming as source of living.
