MILF Chief Peace Negotiator and Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) Chairman Mohagher Iqbal urged the recipients of the Sajahatra Bangsamoro Program to take with utmost care and responsibility the latter because it is the concrete symbol of trust that the MILF and GPH have achieved.
During the service presentation ceremony held at the grounds of the Bangsamoro Leadership & Management Institute (BLMI) on March 4, Iqbal described the Sajahatra as the product of the mutual trust enjoyed by both parties which took “too long, to be exact 17 years.”
Hence, he emphasized, that “it is but morally upright and for every practical reason that we value and nurture this partnership between the government and the MILF.”
Iqbal characterized the Sajahatra program as “President Aquino’s concrete, socio-economic initiative aimed to uplift the health, education and livelihood conditions of MILF communities.”
“The MILF agreed to this project with the firm belief that this project is in support of the peace process and not in any way similar to the previous government initiatives which were solely counter-insurgency measures,” Iqbal told the crowd made up mostly of MILF beneficiaries and concerned government agencies.
He went on to declare that Sajahatra Bangsamoro is “not the kind of thing that we dreaded before.”
Iqbal was joined by his counterpart GPH Chief Peace Negotiator Prof. Miriam Coronel-Ferrer and MILF Central Committee Secretary Muhammad Ameen who welcomed everybody to the sprawling compound of BLMI, just few kilometers away from the heart of the MILF’s Camp Darapanan.
Health, education and livelihood
Sajahatra was launched on February 11, 2013 by no less than President Aquino and MILF Chairman Al haj Murad Ebrahim in the same venue. Its Term of Reference was signed exactly two months thereafter.
The program aims to uplift the health, education and livelihood conditions of priority Bangsamoro communities and targeted individual beneficiaries through quick-gestation, high-impact and social protection-type projects.
