Over a hundred volunteers of
The
orientation was aimed at raising the awareness of the participants on the gains
of the GPH-MILF Peace Process.
Ustazah
Jehan A. Ariman, one of the volunteers of BDA-CenMin said, "This
orientation reminds us that the gains of the peace process were achieved as a
result of tedious and long peace negotiations between the GPH and the MILF
Peace Panels to appropriately address the centuries-old Bangsamoro
Question".
Ariman also
said that, "The orientation further aims to remind the participants that
the gains of the GPH and the MILF Peace Process were realized through the
strong support of the Bangsamoro and all other peace-loving people".
Anuar
Cabalo, Regional Coordinator of Peace Building Program emphasized that,
"This orientation is meaningful as it reminds us of the historical
tribulation and other difficulties of the Bangsamoro struggle for freedom and
self-determination".
"Specifically,
it makes us aware on the gains of the GPH and the MILF Peace process that
provided great contribution in attaining true peace and holistic development
not only in Mindanao but throughout the country as a whole', Cabalu further
said.
"And
once the Bangsamoro and other stakeholders are not aware of the gains of the peace
process, they may not be able to avoid things that may hamper the smooth
implementation of the gains of the peace process”, Cabalu added.
Ustadz
Ahmad Hassan, one of BDA-CenMin Provincial development Catalyst (PDC) mentioned
the gradual return of normal life of those who were adversely affected, the
internally-displaced persons (IDP’s), as one of the gains of the peace process.
“Reduction
of poverty among people in the Bangsamoro, illiteracy rate and number of
unskilled individuals were also gradually addressed”, Hassan also said.
Hassan
pointed out that "due to the peace process, peace and holistic development
are gradually and partly achieved".
"And,
failure to sustain the gains of peace process will tantamount to returning to
the abnormal and uncertain conditions of IDPs", Hassan added.
Ameril
Guimba, BDA-CenMin Regional Coordinator for Economic Program said, "As
part of orienting the participants on the gains of the peace process, we must
be aware of the consequences of war that will affect not only the Bangamoro
people but the Filipino people as well".
"Thus
the gains of the peace process between the GPH and the MILF is worth sustaining
for", concluded Guimba.
