MUNICIPALITY OF SULTAN KUDARAT, MAGUINDANAO – As President Rodrigo Roa Duterte addressed the Moro Islamic Liberation Front – Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (MILF-BIAF) combatants who underwent the process of decommissioning today, he had a clear message for them: do not lose heart and continue the fight.
“Do not be sad na ang armas ninyo, binigay ‘nyo sa gobyerno, kasi kayo, gobyerno na,” Duterte told the 1,060 MILF-BIAF members who all wore identical light blue shirts with the word “decommissioned” printed in bold letters at the back side. (Do not be sad that you turned over your arms to the government because you are now of the government.)
“Inyo na itong gobyerno na ito. Binigay na namin sa inyo,” Duterte said in his keynote address to drive home the point, as the former combatants burst into applause. (This government is yours. We’ve given it to you.)
Campaign promise
While he was campaigning for the highest post in the land, then Mayor Duterte shook the status quo and called upon the Filipino nation and the current administration to address the historical injustices against the Bangsamoro.
When he assumed the presidency, his policy team immediately drew up a six-point Peace and Development Agenda which highlighted the need to fulfil all signed agreements with the various Moro fronts.
Duterte then threw his full support behind the passage and ratification of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), and presided over the official inauguration of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region Mindanao (BARMM) and the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA).
