Deputy Presidential Peace Adviser Nabil Tan has expressed optimism that the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) could handle the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
The Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA), which will administer the BARMM will be led by the MILF.
“No one is 100 percent ready,” Tan said when asked how ready the MILF is to handle the affairs of government.
“However, they are ready in terms of [having the] determination to achieve good governance. Iba ‘yong sincerity nila [MILF] to govern and avoid corruption,” he added.
In line with the BTA’s operationalization, the national government is asking the help of various academic institutions such as the Development Academy of the Philippines and Ateneo de Manila University in mentoring the MILF on the fundamentals of governance,Tan said.
The Commission on Elections’ (Comelec) recent proclamation of the official results of the plebiscites on the Bangsamoro Organic Law held on January 21 and February 6 will pave the way for the creation of the BTA, the interim government of the BARMM.
The BTA will be composed of 80 members who will appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte. It will be led by a chief minister and two deputy chief ministers.
Incumbent officials of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) government will also be part of the interim body until their term of office ends on June 30, 2019.
With the BOL’s ratification, the ARMM is abolished and will be replaced by the BARMM which will have a parliamentary form of government.
The creation of the BARMM is in accordance with the peace agreement between the Philippine government and the MILF.
