Misuari, chairman of the Moro National Liberation Front, was accompanied by his wife Tarhata and Rolando Olamit, chairman of the MNLF’s Davao City State Revolutionary Committee, when he met with Duterte at the Active Lifestyle Center in Matina.
Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque also did not any details of the meeting, but photos released by the government showed Misuari - former governor of the Muslim autonomous region - presenting Duterte with documents. The president briefly read the documents.
Duterte’s Peace Adviser, Carlito Galvez, and Senator Bong Go were also present during the meeting.
Go said the former Libyan firebrand raised some concerns in Tawi-Tawi, one of five provinces under the Muslim autonomous region now being run by rival Moro Islamic Liberation Front with its chieftain Murad Ebrahim as Chief Minister.
It was the nth time that Misuari held talks with Duterte since winning the presidency in 2016. Duterte, a former mayor of Davao City, and Misuari are good friends.
Duterte appointed Misuari in December 2019 as Special Economic Envoy on Islamic Affairs to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. He also sought Misuari’s help in campaigning for the proposed shift to federalism. (Mindanao Examiner)
