Amid the sticky issue of wealth-sharing, the government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front on Saturday morning resumed their formal peace negotiations.
The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process disclosed this in a post on its Twitter account at about 10 a.m.
"The GPH and MILF peace panels just started their session today, marking the sixth day of the 38th round of formal talks," it said on its Twitter account.
It added both parties had agreed to extend the schedule of negotiations, and are "determined and hopeful to finish an annex" it added.
The issue of wealth-sharing had been a pesky one for both sides, with the MILF reportedly not keen on the government’s proposed formula.
Meanwhile, in Malacañang, deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte confirmed the peace talks resumed but would not give further details.
Valte, in an interview on government-run dzRB radio, said they cannot disclose details of the talks as they are still ongoing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
“Ang detalye hindi pa pwede pagusapan. Ang huling update na na-receive sa kasamahan natin, kasisimula ng paguusap (We cannot discuss the details yet. But the last update we got was that the talks just resumed),” she said.
This resumption comes soon after a report that the talks between the goverment and the MILF had been extended due to disagreements on the wealth-sharing issue last Friday.
