Presidential Adviser on Overseas Filipino Workers and Muslim Concerns Secretary Abdullah “Dabs” Mama-o met with Bravo last Dec. 10 inside a mosque at Bravo’s mountain hideout in Lanao del Sur.
The President earlier gave Mama-o 20 days to get rid of Bravo whose group is allegedly getting payoffs from drug dealers and distributors from Metro Manila, Cavite, Batangas, the Visayas, and other parts of the country who had come down to Lanao to hide from the authorities.
Bravo clarified that his operations in the MILF Northwestern Mindanao Front (NWMF), were, in fact, in support of the President’s war on drugs.
Bravo asserted drug syndicates were the ones that cooked up wrong information that reached the President to make it appear he was setting up a separate government.
“He (Bravo) said his command will continue complementing the president’s drive against the scourge of drugs,” said Mama-o.
“He also said that he abides by the on-going peace process between the government and the MILF,” the Presidential Adviser for OFWs and Muslim Concerns further disclosed.
