In his speech during the launching of the BTC-JICA Human Resource Mapping on June 4, 2014 at the Al Nor Convention Hall, BTC Chairman Mohagher Iqbal clarified that the program is designed to gather data on Bangsamoro professionals; a resource mobilization and capacity building for everyone, “not a promise for jobs nor positions”.
“The registration is designed to store files of professionals so that in the event the future Bangsamoro Government requires workers, they would be easily accessible data base, Chairman Iqbal also said.
His statement came in the light of concerns by some individuals that it may be misconstrued as an opportunity for jobs for everyone once the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) replaces the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) in July 2015 or when Bangsamoro is in place by July 2016.
In the same message, he emphasized that over and above the trainings and competence of Moro Professionals is to put in place a new value system that gives premium to accountability.
Iqbal noted that it’s the value system that determines the kind of people running a government.
“The MILF envisions that accountability is not only to people but more so to Allah,” Iqbal told the audience comprising Moro professionals, Shari’ah Lawyers, asatidz (madrasah teachers), BDA, BLMI and BTC staff, media, representatives from international and local non-government organizations who attended the program being funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) with the support of the United Youth for Peace and Development (UNYPAD), Mindanao Action for Peace and Development (MAPAD), etc.
He also allayed fears of ARMM employees of being out rightly removed from their current jobs saying that there is a phase and gradual disposition of members of the bureaucracy. The draft basic law contains a provision on this regard and it also says that a separation scheme may be formulated for those who are in their 60’s or those who may want to be separated.
Atty. Johnny Balawag, Administrative Officer of Dep-Ed Cotabato City Division underscored the importance of the program that aims to gather accurate data on Bangsamoro professionals inside and outside of the Bangsamoro core territory.
On her part, Dr. Armia Usman-Ebrahim, currently the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of the Cotabato City State Polytechnic College (CCSPC) expressed her thanks to the Moro Front and its hierarchy and recognized their untiring efforts for the Bangsamoro. She said ”We won’t be here today without them”.
The almost two decades of peace negotiations embarked on by the MILF with the government led to the signing of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) and its four annexes on October 15, 2012, and the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) on March 27, 2014 will finally put an end to bloody conflict in Mindanao. Under the agreement the tri-people of Mindanao can govern themselves under a strong and expanded autonomy and shape their own destiny.
Dr. Ebrahim also took note of the leadership and significant role of the late MILF Founder Sheikh Salamat Hashim who while still alive emphasized the value of engaging the enemy in peace talks when they initiate for it.
Sheikh Salamat Hashim was still the Moro Front’s chairman when the peace negotiations with the government started in January 1997 and after 17 years the CAB was finally signed giving a light of hope for the Moro people.
Praising the BTC and its partners for coming up with the human resource mapping program, Dr. Ebrahim also stressed the importance of “iman” (Faith) and Ikhlas” (Purity of intention) for Muslims or those that runs a government. These are requisites in public governance so that leaders are divinely guided; government programs and projects are implemented up to the last centavo.
The program is considered the first of its kind with no government administration in the past has ever conducted such an undertaking. The Japanese Government and its people are credited for this timely and noble program.
