for the benefits of all stakeholders in Mindanao ,
not only the Bangsamoro people but the whole nation as well.

support to the GPH-MILF Peace process and congratulated leaders of MNLF and
MILF in signing a Unified Declaration last October 13 at Camp Darapanan

struggle possible and successful.
“For as
long as we are Bangsamoro, it is not necessary for us to identify what
organization we belong”. . .” she said, when she delivered her message of
impression before the end of the program.
Bai Sittie
Sangki, Barangay Chair of Tumikor, Ampatuan asked “What will be the options of
the Bangsamoro leaders if a diluted BBL is passed by Congress?”
Some
participants also requested for the conduct of more advocacies in the community
level to make people aware on the current status of the BBL and peace process.
