The Davao-based Civil Society Organizations(CSOs) peaceably attacked yesterday, August 9, 2014, the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) peace panels that are in talks since August 1 in the Waterfront Insular Hotel, Davao City by sending them off to come up with an agreed version in this 10-day marathon meeting.
The group arrived at the hotel lobby at 11:30 in the morning and proceeded to the negotiation venue at about 2:00 in the afternoon.
“We want to give them energy so that they can stay the course and be able to finish the last hurdle before their homestretch thereby arrive at an agreeable and acceptable Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL),” said one of the CSO leaders.
“BBL now and thank you for your hard efforts for peace” were the main words spread out by the group in the negotiation room.
The group developed a song that was sung before the members of the GPH and MILF peace panels with the presence of the Bangsamoro Transition Commissioners, members of the International Contact Group and Third Party Monitoring Team.
In an interview with Bailing Mantawil, Executive Director of the Bangsamoro Women Action for Development, Inc. (BWADI), at the same day but she was not part of the CSO group that came to peacefully push the panels, she said: We have got tired of waiting, and I don’t trust anymore the government.
“It’s better for the MILF peace panel to already get out of the room as they cannot get something out of that as the GPH peace panel has always been trying to change most of the agreed provisions to suit to the Philippine Constitution,” she said.
“Anyway, they have already been done with crafting the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) and the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL),” she added.
“If Bangsamoro Question can’t be resolved these days, Jihad will just be continued by the young Bangsamoro and passed on to the next if still not resolved; this Jihad must continue until the full exercise of Bangsamoro Right-to-self determination be finally achieved, and this should be considered by the Bangsamoro as a way of life,” she furthered.
The developed songs sung by the group conveyed a message of hope and called on both parties to be strong enough in continuing talks and have BLL come up in this marathon meeting.
“BBL must be tonight as tomorrow is too long; we can’t wait for it.”
The group has the plan to come back this day to extend flowers to peace panels as symbol of hope and they will give them energy drinks so that they will never be getting tired despite difficulties they have experiencing along the discussions.
