Optimism remained high about the envisioned Bangsamoro
government after delegates from the Malaysian government expressed commitment
and support to Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) for the implementation of
the quick gains projects articulated in the Bangsamoro Development Plan (BDP).
The envisioned Bangsamoro government is the final result of
the government peace process with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) with
the full backing of international communities.
Engr. Windel Diangcalan, BDA program division head, said the
Malaysian delegates visited the BDA Central Management Office in Cotabato City
In the meeting, Diangcalan presented the BDP highlights,
explaining that the formulation of the comprehensive BDP started way back in
2002 during the establishment of BDA, attempted in 2005 and produced Joint
Needs Assessment with the World Bank and the Office of the Presidential Adviser
on the Peace Process (OPAPP).
It attempted again on 2007 and came up a socio-economic
development plan with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Diangcalan said only this time that the same will be
realized through the backing of national government and various development
partners.
Since then, the BDA buckled down to work in response to the
clamor from the Bangsamoro people.
“The delivery of basic services and projects that will
address the sources of dissatisfaction in the Bangsamoro communities are
happening now,” he said.
Diangcalan said the Malaysian delegates were optimistic in
extending its assistance to the BDA for the attainment of just, honorable,
lasting peace and sustainable development in the Bangsamoro.
The delegation was led by Datuk Hasanah Abd Hamid, Director
General of Prime Minister Department in Malaysia
Executive director Yacob was overwhelmed for the genuine
effort and commitment offered by the delegates, saying the Mindanao
peace process have gone a long way.
He said the Bangsamoro leaders will never fail the
confidence extended by the international community.
