Posted to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front Website (Mar 19): MILF Kutawato PolCom, Talitay LGU hold Joint Peace Advocacy

TALITAY, MAGUINDANAO- Kutawato Political Committee of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), and the Local Government Unit of Talitay, Maguindanao held in this town a joint peace advocacy on Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) on March 18, 2018.

The new BBL was drafted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) comprising 21 members representing the MILF, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), Indigenous people, and migrant settler.

Abdulhamid Buisan, Officer-in-charge Mayor of Talitay municipality, said “We strongly support this peace advocacy to achieve lasting peace in Mindanao.”

“This advocacy is one way of understanding the contents of the BBL. It can also level off our understanding on the current peace process between the Philippine Government and the MILF”, underscored OIC Mayor Buisan.

OIC Mayor Buisan added that “We will support any activity relative to peace and development in this town. So, let us work together for a peaceful and progressive community.”

Guest speaker Professor Esmael A. Abdula, Training Officer of the Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute (BLMI) and President of Kalilintad Peacebuilding Institute (KPI) said in his message that the BBL contained in the Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro (CAB) is a practical and genuine solution to end decades of armed conflict in Mindanao that will pave the way for lasting peace in Southern part of the Philippines.”

“BBL is a legal instrument that will provide for the creation of Bangsamoro political entity”, Abdula said.

Abdula added that “MILF is committed to a democratic solution to end armed conflict in Mindanao.”
