Malacanang believes that the neutralization of alleged
terrorist bomber Basit Usman signifies the determination and commitment of the
Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to continue the Mindanao
peace process with the government.
Usman was reportedly killed by members of the MILF in
Guindulungan town, Maguindanao before noon Sunday.
In a Palace press briefing, Presidential Communications
Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said the MILF showed its
being “reliable partner” of the government in peace process.
Coloma said the Moro group has been helping the Philippine
government in several law enforcement operations.
“At bago nga naganap ‘yung firefight sa Mamasapano ay
matagal na panahon na napanatili ‘yung katahimikan doon sa lugar na sakop ng
Bangsamoro na siya namang nilalayon ‘nung Comprehensive Agreement on the
Bangsamoro. Kaya patuloy ‘yung pagsisikap na maging makabuluhan ‘yung
partnership between the government and the MILF,” he noted.
On January 25, over 44 officers from the Philippine National
Police-Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) were killed in Mamasapano, Maguindanao
firefight.
Coloma underscored the MILF’s sincerity to the peace process
as lawmakers work on the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).
He said stakeholders are looking for concrete manifestation
that can attest the stability of the agreement and solidarity of the government
and MILF to pursue the peace process.
“Sa aking palagay ay ginawa po nila at ginagawa naman nila
ang lahat para po matugunan ‘yung tanong ng taumbayan, kasama na ang ating mga
mambabatas, para ipakita sa kongkreto ‘yung kanilang buong determinasyon at
commitment na maipagpatuloy at maganap ang prosesong pangkapayapaan,” he added.
