A publication containing a collection of selected speeches
and statements made in the course of the peace process between the Government
of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will be
launched on Thursday in celebration of the achievements of the administration
of President Benigno S. Aquino III in advancing peace in Mindanao .
Entitled "Junctures: Selected Speeches and
Statements," the book features the speeches made by the President in
key junctures of the process, and those delivered by GPH chief negotiator
Professor Miriam Coronel-Ferrer and MILF panel chair Mohagher Iqbal in several
forums and discussions on the Bangsamoro peace negotiations held under the
Aquino administration.
Produced by the Government Peace Panel Secretariat, the book
is published by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process.
Also included are speeches delivered by Presidential Adviser
on the Peace Process Secretary Teresita Quintos Deles, MILF Chair Al Haj Murad
Ebrahim, GPH peace panel member Senen Bacani, MILF panel member Professor
Abhoud Syed Lingga, and National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF)
Secretary Yasmin Busran-Lao in landmark events.
Major statements issued during the same period make up the
second part of the book.
"The book is a tangible record of the thinking and
sentiments of the main actors in the negotiations for and implementation of the
Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) through the good times and the
bad.
"Junctures will provide readers with an insider’s
look of our journey the past few years from the signing of the Framework
Agreement that preceded the CAB in October 2013 up to May 2016, with the
signing of the Declaration of Continuity of the partnership between the
government and the MILF,” said Ferrer of the publication.
Ferrer underscored the important role played by the
President and the Executive Secretary in steering the direction of the peace
negotiations.
"Kaya naging matagumpay ang peace process natin sa
ilalim ni President Aquino ay dahil naging bukas ang linya sa pagitan niya't ng
kanyang opisina at ng MILF, at maraming napag-usapang tuwiran at diretso na may
tiwala sa isa’t isa (The peace process succeeded under President Aquino
because of the openness between him and his office and the MILF, which allowed
matters to be discussed directly, with trust in each other),” she said.
