Moro Islamic Liberation Front 1st Vice Chairman Ghazali Jaafar said on Wednesday, August 6, “That there is no truth to reports that the Moro Front is engaged in mining activity in any part of Mindanao, including Zamboanga City.
He expressed dismay on the report involving MILF members who allegedly took samples of mineral products at Barangay Baluno, Zamboanga City on July 31, that according to Chairman Jaafar could imperil the peace agreement signed the GPH and the Moro Front.
“Mining is not part of MILF’s agenda and our people are not engaged in such activity,” Jaafar told a local radio station here in reaction to an allegation by the city government that MILF men, led by a certain Bob Jumadil took samples of mineral products at said barangay, Philstar quoted Jaafar saying.
Jaafar said the city government should have first verified the report with them to determine whether the group involved really belongs to MILF or merely using the name of the organization.
Jaafar said while mining is allowed provided they first secure legal documents, the group does not tolerate any of their members to engage in this activity.
The MILF’s reaction came after Mayor Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar brought the case before Presidential Peace Adviser Secretary Teresita Deles.
Climaco-Salazar said Deles ordered the Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostility to look into the allegation.
