MNLF exec: `President’ Rody to implement Tripoli Pact

From the Mindanao Times (Oct 12): MNLF exec: `President’ Rody to implement Tripoli Pact
 
THE MORO National Liberation Front is confident Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte would implement the 1976 Tripolo Agreement if he becomes president next year.

At the rally attended by about 500 Moro representatives at the Rizal Park Friday, Randolph Parcasio, MNLF spokesperson, said Duterte is the best bet for Moros as he understands the causes of the Moro conflict and the potential solutions.

Parcasio said the Moro people have remained that a peace deal is still possible even of Congress will shelve the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law, even as he maintained at his group has made no stand on the proposal.

The BBL is a peace deal between the government of the Philippines and the peace panel of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

Samad Pangandaman, president of the People’s President Rody Duterte movement, even claimed further that the Muslim community was “100% supportive of Duterte’s run”.

Pangandaman said that they will continue calling for the presidential run, despite the mayor’s repeated claims he would not go for the presidential campaign next year.

Asked about the campaign strategy for convincing the mayor to run, Pangandaman said “the filing of candidacy is very near now, and we don’t have time to conduct more rallies.”

“We just pray to Allah the creator who has control of everything, even control the mind of Duterte. He can change his mind. Through prayer, Inshallah, we will be able to convince him,” Pangandaman said.

Speaking to a crowd at the Rizal Park, Pangandaman also claimed that a 300,000-strong OFW base in Saudi Arabia alone was supportive of Duterte’s candidacy, and that this was already proof of Duterte’s winnability as a candidate.

Friday’s rally was attended by different representatives from various Muslim tribes from all over Mindanao, including members from other parts of the country.

The event was also graced by the Muslim deputy mayors from the city, as well as other city officials.
