In letter dated October 24 sent to BGen Carlito Galvez, Jr., Chairman of the GPH Coordinating Committee on Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH) by Abbas Salung, Chairman of the MILF-CCCH, he informed him (Galvez) on the upcoming orientation program by UNICEF – MILF Action Plan on Child Soldier for the 113th Base Command – BIAF on October 27-28, 2014 at Camp Salman Al Farishie in Datu Tumanggong, Tungawan, Zamboanga Sibugay.
   
Representatives from the UNICEF and MILF Task Force will be spearheading the program.

Participants are expected to arrive at Camp Salman on October 24 and will return to their respective camps on October 29, 2014. Bringing of firearms and wearing of BIAF uniforms during their movements are not allowed.

The UNICEF and MILF has been in closed contact on the issue of child soldier. The MILF on its part has repeatedly said that there are no child soldiers in their ranks of combatants. The MILF Task Force relative to child soldier is headed by Edward Guerra
