MILF: ‘BBL instills hope’, MSU students

Posted to the MILF Website (Sep 27): ‘BBL instills hope’, MSU students



The signing of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) and the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) springs hopes and aspirations to the students of Mindanao State University (MSU) in Maguindanao taking up Master of Arts in Peace and Development Studies (MAPDS).
   
The recent pace of the GPH-MILF peace deal imparts optimism to young and progressive minded individuals for a better Mindanao. This divulged the eagerness of the majority of the Mindanaoans particularly from different sectors of society who are actively involving themselves in promoting peace and development in their homeland, said Nasrudin Asi, a student of MAPDS and scion of one of the Top 300 MNLF Commanders that trained in Malaysia in early 70’s.

Students of MAPDS of MSU are immersing themselves in the promotion of the signed agreements between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Government of the Philippines (GPH), including the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL). They are coming from various government and non-government organizations that are promoting peace on its respective areas of operations.

On September 17, 2014, some of the MAPDS students participated in a forum organized by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) entitled: “Balitaktakan Hinggil sa Bangsamoro Basic Law Community Peace Forum on Air”.

Meanwhile, prior to their attendance on the said forum, they organized an activity in Barangay Kusiong, Datu Odin Sinsuat entitled “Achieving Human Rights through the lens of P.E.A.C.E.” on September 14, 2014. P.E.A.C.E. stands for P – Participatory; E – Equity; A – Appropriate; C – Conscientization; and E – Environmentally Friendly. Majority of the participants were Indigenous People (IP) from Teduray tribe.  

Recently, the long-awaited Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) has been submitted by the Office of the President to the House of Congress on September 10, 2014 and consequently made public.
