The Chief Negotiator of the Government of the Philippines (GPH), Prof. Miriam Coronel-Ferrer said on Thursday that the Moro Islamic Liberation Front does not have gun factory in General Salipada Pendatun, Maguindanao.
Prof. Ferrer also said that the MILF main gun factory in Camp Abubakar was already demolished during the time of President Estrada when he declared all-out-war with the Moro front.
Prof. Ferrer also said that the GPH panel had conducted an investigation after Senator Alan Peter Cayetano claimed the MILF has a weapons factory in barangay (sitio) Katol, General Salipada Pendatun, Maguindanao.
"It's not there. We know, we have checked the area. We did our own checking and what we found out is the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters has its own improvised explosive device (IED) factory in the area," she said.
The chief peace negotiator said the government is not negotiating with the BIFF simply because the latter group does not want peace.
The MILF tried but failed to convince the BIFF leadership to stay with the group and forge a lasting peace deal with the government.
The BIFF now categorized as a terrorist group is pursuing the independence of Mindanao and create an Islamic State.
"Right now, they do not want to negotiate with us. They are doing all these things, sniping our military forces. The conditions are not there to negotiate with them and the conditions actually require that we incapacitate them," she said.
