The Young Moro Professionals Network (YMPN), a Manila-based organization of Moro professionals and students with nation-wide membership, and GenPeace welcomed the submission of proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law to Congress.
In a statement released for the public, YMPN and GenPeace underscored their support to the peace process and cited that breakthroughs in the peace efforts affirm their hope for peace and development in conflict-affected areas in Mindanao; that signed peace agreement namely the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) will be realized and contribute to the upliftment of the lives of the people.
Last Wednesday at Malacañan Palace, President Aquino led the ceremonial hand-over the draft BBL to Congress headed by Senate President Franklin Drilon and Speaker of the House Feliciano Belmonte, Jr.
Once ratified by law-makers and passed through a plebiscite, the BBL will serve as a charter for the creation of the Bangsamoro political entity replacing the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
“Peace-building is a continuing process and we in the youth sector take the challenge to help ensure that the gains of peace in this generation will be sustained and benefit all,” said the groups.
The young Moro professionals called on the law-makers to unite and transcend political differences for the crucial passage of the BBL which they consider a landmark law in the history of law-making and peace-making in the country.
“Our future is what is at stake in the success of instituting genuine autonomy in the south that serves as a political solution in addressing the decades-old conflict and peace-building to resolve the Bangsamoro right to self-determination,” the statement further said.
YMPN calls on the youths to have an informed perspective on the Bangsamoro in building an environment of mutual respect, cultural tolerance and humane society.
“In the same light, unity is also important to all stakeholders of the peace process. Our diversity as a Filipino people—in religion or ethnicity— is a gift that is weaved by our common aspiration for peace and progress.
Together, let us be critical and vigilant in appreciating the merits of the BBL that will be opened to the public and undergo deliberations and consultations by Congress.”
The Moro youth further called members of the civil society to engage in a productive dialogue as they make “yesterday's dream of a just and lasting peace a reality of today and tomorrow.”
The BBL was drafted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission, eight of which were nominated by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and seven were chosen by the government.
Tedious consultations involving various stakeholders in Mindanao were employed to ensure inclusivity in the process of crafting the proposed Bangsamoro law.
