The Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute (BLMI) stepped on the historic land of Lanao and had just culminated its “Tour of Duty” for advocacy by providing valuable information and updates on GPH- MILF Peace Process from February 26 – March 05, 2014.
After triumphantly dispensing its mandates in western part of Moroland, the BLMI team took another route now towards Lanao del Sur, the land of powerful sultans where the Lanao Lake is found.
The team was comprises of BLMI Extension Service and Research Unit officers with active involvement and facilitation by the MILF Political Committee in the area, the BIAF and other committees who painstakingly involved themselves for the success of the program.
The community outreach program firstly engaged on a hill-top of Butig Municipality, a mountainous area overlooking the beauty of panoramic landscape of Lanao Lake.
The BLMI team was warmly welcomed by residents and community leaders who organized the event. The objective of the undertaking was to enlighten the people in the remotest and far-flung areas where residents have no access to televisions, newspapers and internet due to problem on electricity and telecommunication.
From Butig, the BLMI team proceeded to Masiu, also in Lanao del Sur on February 27, 2014. The venue flocked by hundreds of residents and community leaders and local government officials who wanted to know the current trend in the GPH-MILF Peace Process.
On February 28, 2014, the team despite the heat of the sun, mental fatigue and stress proceeded to Maguing Municipality in the same province.
The road to the town was rough and as the speakers arrived the residents were already waiting at the venue with utmost inclination to get updates on the GPH- MILF Peace process.
From Maguing, the BLMI team took it course to the center of Lanao Del Sur, the Islamic City Marawi City on March 01 where they candidly engaged with members of the academe, LGU’s officials, students, community leaders and religious group. The speakers stressed the salient points of the topics at hand and entertained questions from the attendees concerning the peace process.
From Marawi city, the team visited some municipalities that enveloped the Lanao Lake. Participants from adjacent municipalities and its barangay were merged in a half- day advocacy program at the Open court of Balindong Arabic – Islamic Institution, Balindong (Watu), Lanao del Sur on March 02.
The MILF Provincial Political Committees, SWC and BIAF organized and facilitated the half- day Activity.

Also to the Asia Foundation (TAF) and the AUS-Aid who have been supporting the BLMI Programs in the past many years just to achieve lasting peace and progress in Mindanao.
