NCMF Secretary: Let not Mamasapano incident hinders peace

The head of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) recently issued an official statement on the Mamasapano incident urging the Filipino people not to be divided by the ill-fated incident confrontation and uphold the quest for peace.

“In this difficult times, we must uphold our quest for peace which eludes us for a long time,” NCMF Secretary Yasmin Busran Lao said. Lao has been a member of the government negotiating panel under the Aquino Administration.

“Let us not be divided by this tragedy. Let us not forget the decisive efforts made by the peacebuilders of the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in forging a lasting peace,” she stressed.

The NCMF Secretary reiterated the call of other peace advocates not to allow the incident which claimed lives from both the police officers and rebel forces.

“While the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the MILF are on the final stage of collectively putting an end to the four decade-old problem in Mindanao, this catastrophic incident unfolded causing loss of lives.

Busran-Lao described the Mamasapoano incident, on which various groups call of an impartial investigation, as “tragically saddening.”

The NCMF expressed its “deepest condolences to the bereaved families left by the policemen and members of the MILF whose lives were sacrificed.”

Busran-Lao further said, “It is through this challenging time that we keep on our commitment and pursuit of lasting peace not just in Mindanao but in the entire Philippines.
