During his brief opening remarks, Chairman Macdonald said, that, “The mandate of TPMT is to monitor the implementation of all agreements signed between the the GPH-MILF Peace Panels and listen to comments and pulse of various sectors in the proposed Bangsamoro core territory and outside of the areas that maybe covered by the new region. The program was held at the Ulama Function Hall of BUSC Office.
