Thousands of guerillas and supporters of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front converged at Camp Darapanan on Wednesday to show force in the launching of the MILF's pioneering United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP).
The MILF already sought accreditation for the UBJP from the Commission on Elections to enable the party to pit candidates for local positions and elective posts in the upcoming Bangsamoro government during the 2016 electoral exercise.
Sammy Al-Mansour, UBJP secretary-general, said the gathering of "volunteers" at Camp Darapanan is an initial decentralization stride meant to organize community-based partisan blocs that can help educate the public on peace and development objectives of the newly-formed political party.
