In order to get the feelings and observations of stakeholders on the peace process of the Government of the Philippines (GPH)-Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the members of the Third Party Monitoring Team (TPMT) met the Governor of Sarangani Province and members of the GPH-MILF Local Monitoring Team (LMT) for a caucus.
The gathering, attended by Sarangani Governor Steve Chiongbian Solon with members of the LMT-Sarangani, was held at the Conference Room of the Provincial Capitol of Sarangani on June 6, 2014.
All members of the TPMT namely Huseyn Oruc, Karen Tanada, Steven Roods, and Rahib Kudto led by its Chairman Alistair Macdonald who recently retired from the European External Action Services were present.
Solon told the visitors about how the provincial government does its best in the delivery of basic services for the constituents of the province which are comprised of Christians, Lumads and Moros.
He added that his administration is creating a climate in province that can lure investors.
Solon related that there is an existing dedicated project for peace and development named Sulong Kapayapaan a component of a more comprehensive flagship program - Sulong Sarangani.
Sulong Kapayapaan primarily focus on peace advocacy works and other initiatives enabling the constituents to embrace peace and support the government’s socio-economic programs.
Expressing his support to the peace process, Solon further called the national government to fix the Mindanao problem because when backlash comes, “it is the local government units which always bear the brunt.”
He thanked the visitors for their support in finding the peaceful solution to end the problem in Southern Philippines.
Macdonald related that the TPMT is mandated to monitor, review and assess the implementation of signed agreements, primarily the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro and its annexes.
The TPMT shall also communicate to the public the progress and developments in the implementation of the agreements of the Parties.
He noted the need to focus on the positive views of the Bangsamoro government and that the religious channel can do a great help in the information dissemination initiatives.
Maasim Vice-Mayor and member of the LMT Uttoh Salem Cutan, also a prominent leader of the Moro National Liberation Front, expressed his support to the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro.
He further enjoined other MNLF to rally behind in the quest for a peaceful solution to the Bangsamoro problem particularly the peace initiatives of the Aquino Administration.
The vice-mayor said the provincial and municipal governments of Sarangani are working hard for the attainment of economic prosperity of the province.
