From InterAksyon (Jul 14): Moro leaders happy with signing of wealth-sharing agreement between govt and MILF

Most of the Bangsamoro people gave a positive reaction to the signing of the wealth sharing agreement between the government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

This is a significant indication that the two parties are serious in achieving peace in Mindanao, said Autonomous Region in Muslim  Mindanao Governor Mujiv Hataman.

In relation to this, Hataman continues to hope that the Mindanao peace process will continue smoothly for the sake of the Bangsamoro.

The governor also said that his government is willing to sacrifice once the Bangsamoro State comes to being.

For his part, Maguindanao Governor Esmael Mangudadatu was also happy about the turnout of the peace negotiations.

In relation to this, Mangudadatu called on his people to support the ongoing peace negotiations even as he expressed disappointment over reports that some groups are trying to disrupt the peace process by starting some violent incidents.

On Saturday, three persons believed to be members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighter and two soldiers were killed when firefight erupted in Guindolongan, said 6th Infantry Division spokesman Col Dicson Hermoso.

Apart from the fatalities, four BIFF and four soldiers were also injured. Three BIFF members were arrested by the military.

In relation to this, both Hataman and Mangungudatu appealed to the protagonists to respect the holy month of Ramadan.
