Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao—The public launch of the decommissioning of 1,026 MILF forces will be on September 7 with no less that Pres. Rodrigo Duterte attending the significant event, Presidential Peace Adviser Carlito Galvez, Jr said in a Palace briefing.
The Philippine News Agency (PNA) did not mentioned in its report August 20 the venue of the decommissioning but most probably at Camp Darapanan, or at the Maguindanao Old Capitol, in Sultan Kudarat town.
Galvez said during the briefing that a total of 1,026 MILF forces and 920 firearms are scheduled to be decommissioned during the ceremony.
Galvez said the decommissioning process aims to decommission 30 percent or 12,000 out of the 40,000 MILF members for this year.
He said another 35 percent of the MILF forces will undergo the same procedure next year while the rest until 2022 in time for the Exit Agreement between the government and the MILF.
“It’s real” challenge,” Galvez said about the decommissioning.
The Normalization Track is anchored on the Annex on Normalization of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) signed between the government and the MILF in 2014.
Duterte earlier signed Executive Order No. 79 or the Annex on Normalization to consolidate whole of government-whole of nation peace-building initiatives under the Normalization Track. (Source: PNA)
