President Rodrigo R. Duterte said he was elated that Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) chair and founder Nur Misuari is willing to return to the peace table with the government of the Philippines (GPH).
In his message during the commemoration of the National Heroes’ Day at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, Taguig City on Monday, Duterte thanked Misuari “for expressing his intention to join us, maybe in one place or different settings, whatever it is, it is good for me for as long as we talk.”
Duterte earlier said that he does not want the MNLF leader detained for his age and physical condition, as the country may lose its chance to talk peace with the Moro group if anything happens to Misuari while under government custody.
The president is also hopeful that a long-lasting peace can be finally achieved in Mindanao now that the government is in talks with the rebel groups – New People’s Army, Moro Islamic Liberation Front, and MNLF.
“So now we have a lull in the three fronts that we really have been fighting ever since. We’re talking with the Communists now, maybe establish a modus vivendi somewhere with the MI and MN and let’s begin to talk about peace,” he said.
