A delegation of thousands of Moro residents from Palawan, Zamboanga, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi and Sulu (PAZAMBATASUL) of various ethnicities arrived at the MILF main camp at Darapanan, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao to attend the United Bangsamoro Justice Party’s (UJBP) 1st Volunteers General Assembly held from December 23-25, 2014.
The delegations that came to mainland Mindanao for the occasion arrived separately on December 22. They took a Weesam fast craft, others on motor launch from their respective provinces via Zamboanga that docked at Polloc Port, Parang, Maguindanao and proceeded to the venue. Others took chartered vans and private vehicles via Pagadian City.
Former ARMM Vice Governor and former Sulu Governor Benjamin T. Loong, brother of Sulu 1st District Congressman Tupay T. Loong, a member of the 75-strong House Ad Hoc Committee on BBL led the delegation of the Suluans.
In an interview with former Gov. Loong he said that, “They are attending the assembly to show support to the Moro people and listen to what MILF officials will say about the UBJP.
Loong also said that majority of Bangsamoro in Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and Basilan are excited to have peace in Mindanao in the light of the signing of the peace agreement between the Moro Front and the government and the creation of Bangsamoro government with a ministerial form of government.
“The assembly is a venue where our people will know all about the UBJP and its programs. About 95% of Sulu residents have already been enlightened about the establishment of the new political entity Bangsamoro through advocacies and consultations conducted by the Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute (BLMI), the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC), Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA), various non-government organizations such as UNYPAD, MAPAD, MPC, etc., and the House of Representatives’ Ad Hoc Committee on Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL)”, Loong further said.
The advocacies conducted by these local non-government organizations were supported and funded by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the European Union, the Center for Humanitarian Dialogue (CHD), The Asia Foundation (TAF) and Conciliation Resources (CR).
MILF 1st Vice Chairman Ghazali Jaafar in an interview said that, “The MILF is ready to participate in the mainstream politics”.
UBJP is open to anybody who wants to join or to be part of UBJP if they will abide with the principles of the party, Jaafar added.
The slogan of UBJP is “Your party, My party, Our party”.
