The Mindanao Peoples’ Peace Movement [MPPM] called to a special meeting members of its executive committee representing the Moros, Indigenous Peoples (IP’s) and the Mindanao Migrants on June 13-15, 2014 at the Global House, Faculty Ville, Midsayap, Cotabato.
One of the very crucial issue tackled in the meeting was the MPPM position/stand on the GPH-MILF Peace Process. After a lengthy deliberation the participants came up with a decision to throw their support to the peace process and its outcomes; the FAB, its four annexes, the Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro (CAB) and the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) crafted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC).
Professor Rodelio N. Ambangan, Chairman of the MPPM in his statement categorically expressed MPPM’s support to the aspiration of the Bangsamoro people in Mindanao for a strong and expanded autonomy. He added that MPPM wants to clarify issues pertaining to the marginalized peoples particularly the IP’s in the agreements or in the draft basic law.
The BBL is currently under review by the legal team of the Office of the President and shall be submitted to Congress in July 28, 2014 when the two chambers resume its regular session, according to statements issued by Executive Secretary Pacquito Ochoa and BTC Chair Mohagher Iqbal recently. The basic law contains provisions with regards to the IP’s ancestral domain, tribal pratices/laws and given the choice to choose their identity.
MPPM is a coalition of peace and human rights organizations that commits to work for a just-peace in Mindanao, Sulu, Basilan, Palawan and Tawi-Tawi (MinSuBaTaPa). MPPM called on all people in Mindanao to support the proposed Bangsamoro Government as it believes that just, lasting and sustainable peace is in the offing.
