A recent survey, showing dismal improvement in the plight of
Muslim Filipinos in the country, reinforces the government’s position of
attaining enduring peace in Mindanao to bring
genuine regional development, a Palace official said.
A new survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) showed 43
percent of Filipinos do not see "much real improvement" in the
position of Muslims in the country.
“I think this only confirms the resolve of why we need to
have a real, comprehensive solution when it comes to peace and order and
security in Mindanao,” Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a
radio interview over dzRB Radyo ng Bayan on Saturday.
“Tingin ko hindi naman natin maikakaila na talagang
kailangan ng tulong ng mga kababayan natin doon at hindi lang ito ang tulong na
iaabot natin, na mabibigyan ng programa, kailangan talaga komprehensibo ang
peace solution para sa kanila.”
Valte said she believes that the best solution is the
passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law to address not only the physical needs of
Muslim Filipinos but also the concerns on peace and security.
The survey, conducted from June 5 to 8, showed that 43
percent agreed and 25 percent disagreed that there has not been much real
improvement in the position of Muslims in the past few years, for a
"moderate" net agreement of +18.
The survey also showed that nearly half, or 47 percent of
the 1,200 adult respondents, agreed to make an effort in improving the
situation of Muslims even by giving them preferential treatment.
