The tripartite technical working group of the Moro National
Liberation Front (MNLF) is set to revisit the 47-year-old Tripoli Peace
Agreement with the Philippine Government.
Acting Vice Chairperson of the MNLF Central committee,
Rolando Abdul-Aziz T. Olamit, said they have initially set the date on
September 7-9 in Manila and they will focus on
the remaining issues of the 1976 Tripoli
agreement on Territory; provisionary gain and natural resources and revenue
sharing.
However Olamit said the review of the final peace agreement
is only on a lower level in view of the absence of MNLF founding chair Nur
Misuari.
“Gumikan kay naa siya’y pending warrant of arrest dili pa
maka apil si Misuari, so kaning mahitabo nga tripartite technical working group
is at low level(Because he has a pending warrant of arrest Misuari cannot
participate yet, so the holding of the tripartite technical working group is at
low level),” Olamit said.
He added that should the government want to bring to high
level and official Misuari must be included in the consultation or review.
“Kung gusto ang gobyerno nga high level or official, ilahang
ilift ang warrant of arrest ni Misuari or moratorium para maka apil siya. And
once and for all matapos na siya (If the government want the consultation on
high level, it must lift the warrant of arrest of Misuari or a moratorium so he
can participate),” Olamit said.
He further disclosed that the MNLF has already listed the delegation
that will attend on the tripartite technical working group.
According to Olamit, the review is important because they
have not seen any improvement in the government since the signing of the final
peace agreement because it has not been implemented properly. He added that the
MNLF will remain passive with regards to the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).
Olamit said that they have experienced trick and deception
of the government that is why they remain passive with the BBL especially that
the government was only consulting with its “MNLF mascot”.
