The Palace said on Sunday that the decommissioning of the
Moro Islamic Liberation Front’s (MILF) forces and weapons is due on Tuesday
(June 16) in Sharrif Aquak, Maguindanao.
“Sa Martes, Hunyo 16, gaganapin ang isang makasaysayang
yugto sa prosesong pangkapayapaan sa pagitan ng pamahalaan at ng MILF.
Nakatakdang i-turnover ng MILF ang mga armas sa Independent Decommissioning
Body, samantalang may mga miyembro ng Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces na
sasailalim sa decommissioning,” said Presidential Communications Operations
Office Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr., in a radio interview with dzRB Radyo ng
Bayan.
Coloma notes that this is part of the normalization process
base on the Annex of Normalization that was signed by the government and the
MILF last January 29, in Kuala Lumpur ,
Malaysia
“Ang Pangulong (Benigno) Aquino ang sasaksi sa unang yugto
ng decommissioning process na itinuturing na isa sa matibay na pagpapakita ng
pagsuporta at commitment ng MILF sa isinusulong na prosesong pangkapayapaan na
maghahatid ng katahimikan at kaunlaran sa mga bayang sakop ng Bangsamoro,” said
Coloma.
Rebel returnees after being documented and will be receiving
cash assistance and PhilHealth cards. They will also receive medium- and
long-term assistance the from the Task Force Decommissioned Combantants and
Communities.
“May tatlong bahagi ang itinakdang normalization process:
security, socioeconomic development, at transitional justice and
reconciliation. Ang prosesong ito ay naglalayong bigyan ang mga kasapi ng MILF
ng pagkakataong makapag-hanapbuhay at makapamuhay nang tahimik at malayo sa
anomang karahasan,” Coloma added.
According to government peace panel chair Miriam
Coronel-Ferrer, the MILF will turnover 55 high-powered firearms and 20
screw-served weapons, while 145 of its members will take part in the
decommissioning process.
