A report by Philstar on February 14, 2016 said that the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front have signed the terms of reference (TOR) for the Joint Task Forces on MILF camps (JTFC) transformation.
It is posted at the website of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP).
The JTFC shall be formed to transform six previously acknowledged MILF camps into peaceful communities and bring back normalcy to the lives of former rebels.
Miriam Coronel-Ferrer of GPH and Mohagher Iqbal of the MILF said the BBL Annex on Normalization provides for confidence-building measures that may be undertaken through the joint task forces.
“There shall be joint task forces for each of the six previously acknowledged MILF camps and their work shall be coordinated and supervised by four coordinators – two each from the government and the MILF,” the TOR, posted on the website of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, stated.
The tasks of coordinators include the provision of overall leadership and direction for the transformation of the former MILF camps into peaceful and productive communities.
Four coordinators shall be tasked to coordinate and give logistical support for the work of the JTFC in each camp, the two panels said.
They are also tasked to establish protocols in camp development and tap necessary government agencies, development partners, non-governmental organizations, private sector and local government units for the implementation of programs/projects.
The government and MILF panels may amend the TOR “after the necessary review to meet changing conditions”, according to the report by Philstar.
