He also delved on the peace partnership between the government of the Republic of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (GPH-MILF).

Mr. Pulindao emphasized that whatever the fruits of the GPH-MILF Peace process are for the benefits of all stakeholders in Mindanao, not only the Bangsamoro people but the whole nation as well.

After his presentation, some concerns from leaders of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and from a politician in the area were raised. They also expressed their 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 (Arifeen), Sultan, Kudarat, Maguindanao.

A lady participant asserted that unity is very important to make the Bangsamoro 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.
