From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 29): Palace hoping next administration will pursue peace process gains

Malacanang has expressed hope that the next administration will pursue the peace process and its gains achieved by the government of President Benigno Aquino III under the peace agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio ‘Sonny’ Coloma Jr. believed that the peace process will not go back to zero even if the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) will not be passed before President steps down in June 30.

”What we have started should be continued so that we will finally achieved the objective of the peace process,” Coloma said.

He said the determination of President Aquino to pursue peace process will stay whatever the results of the BBL in the House of Representative and Senate.

”The President will continue in convincing every sector and stakeholders of society to give peace a chance,” Coloma said.

Coloma encouraged all the stakeholders should maintain the desire to achieve peace by respecting each other at all times.

Under the Aquino administration, the Philippine government and the MILF signed two agreements – the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro and the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) that resulted to the drafting of the BBL.
