The United Bangsamoro Justice Party held its 5th Gen. Assembly Meeting on December 19, 2015 at Barangay Laguilayan, Isulan, Sultan Kudarat .

Barangay Captain Braulio Madriaga welcomed the UBJP team and the 900 participants more or less comprising members of the UBJP in Sultan Kudarat Province.

The opening address was delivered by Sultan Hadji  Abubakar Sinenggayan, a traditional leader. He stressed to the participants to fix their mindset that Bangsamoro programs are not for the Bangsamoro alone as Christians and highlanders shall also benefit from them. 

Bai Noria Sinenggayan, member of the village council inspired the participants by saying, "A vision without action is just a dream and a dream without achievement. It is like a bird flying without direction”, we need to work together.

 Dir. Moidjoddin K. Talusob of Kalilintad Development Foundation Inc. (KDFI) delivered words of wisdom. He told the audience that peace negotiation is part of struggle for peace. The passage of BBL by both Houses of Congress can address the injustices committed against the Bangsamoro people.

Ustadz Hussein Abdulwahab, CCCH member gave updates on current situation of the peace process followed by Understanding Islamic Concept of Political Party (UBJP) by Prof. Hisham Nando, member of UBJP Board of Directors. 

Prof. Nando emphasized that UBJP is a principled-party.  

During the open forum, Shiehk Thata B. Mustapha asked the speakers on what is the reaction of the Moro Islamic Liberation (MILF) on Congress’ December 16 self-imposed deadline for the passage of BBL but did not materialize? 

Abdulwahab said that, “There are 3 scenarios on the possible fate of the BBL.

First, BBL shall be passed compliant to the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB), second, BBL shall be passed according to the substitute bill of Senator Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos but the MILF said they will not accept it, and third, no BBL shall be passed under President Aquino's administration. 

"Whatever may happen to BBL, the Bangsamoro leaders will continue and consistently walk long miles for lasting peace in the Bangsamoro”, said Nando.

Mr. Quraish T. Langcap, an officer of UBJP mentioned UBJP proposed activities and the series of activities initiated by his group in the province.  The planned activities will be announced during their succeeding meeting to be held also in Sultan Kudarat province.
