President Rodrigo Duterte reiterated Monday, July 22, his call to the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) to accelerate the establishment of the Bangsamoro government.
In his fourth State of the Nation Address (Sona), Duterte noted that after almost two decades of peace negotiation with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the Bangsamoro Organic Law was finally passed and ratified.
“For decades, our Muslim brothers in the ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) have been mired in poverty,” he said.
He said that late Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) Chair Abdul Khayr Alonto envisioned a progressive, peaceful, and united Mindanao during their lifetime.
“It is my hope that the Bangsamoro Transition [Authority] will fast-track the establishment of regional government that will secure and comfortable life for Muslim brothers and sisters, and all indigenous communities in the Bangsamoro Regions,” Duterte said.
The BTA is led by interim chief minister and MILF chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim.
