The participants gladly and intelligently expressed their   thoughts and feelings regarding the upcoming Bangsamoro Government.

Ms. Babylyn Kano-Omar, Station Manager of DXGD of Tawi-Tawi, said that one way of helping the UNYPAD in disseminating and advocating the issue on Bangsamoro is through on-the-air radio program.

Mr. Pagaruan disclosed that more island municipalities were not yet accessed by the UNYPAD and some other peace institutions that are doing similar advocacy programs due to their geographical locations. 

Mr. Lumambas, also the Head of the Grievance Committee of UNYPAD National Chapter had also facilitated a Seminar-Workshop on “Islamic Leadership, Handlings and Procedures of Meeting and Community Organizing” during his presence in the island province. There were 20 participants who participated in from the municipalities of Simunol, Sitangkay, Turtle Island and other islands organized by UNYPAD.
