An officer of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) said that once a good Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) is approved, the Bangsamoro question is given justice.
“Once a
good BBL is approved, it is not only economic development that will be taking
place in the Bangsamoro but of the political, cultural and social development
will propel. Above all, the Bangsamoro question is given justice,” Toks
Ibrahim, MILF Administrative Chief said in his welcome message.
Ibrahim
refers the “good BBL” to the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro
(CAB)-compliant BBL, a measure that will give the Bangsamoro people a defined
territory with their self-governance attuned to the Bangsamoro culture, belief
and situation.
He welcomed
the attendees during the service presentation ceremony of Department of
Agriculture’s Farmers’ Assistance Program (FAP) for the six previously
acknowledged MILF Camps held at the Bangsamoro Leadership and Management
Institute at Simuay, Sultan Kudarat Maguindanao on January 6, 2015.
“The real
BBL in the House of Congress is not the barometer to continue the economic
development of the Bangsamoro communities because development is hand-in-hand
responsibility of every leader,” pointed out.
FAP is a
program that provides the necessary assistance to farmer beneficiaries to boost
agricultural production in the target communities.
The
development intervention for the MILF communities is an initial
confidence-building measure under the Bangsamoro peace process as stipulated in
the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) signed between the MILF and
the Philippine government.
“This
is a good beginning to work the miles of peace journey. We believe that peace
will not end on taking, but on action,” he added.
DA
Secretary Proceso Alcala, turned-over to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front
(MILF) agricultural equipment, inputs and has also pledged capability-building
training for farmer-beneficiaries aimed to transform six acknowledged MILF
camps into peaceful communities.
