Bangsamoro peace process forum at PMA today

From the Philippine Information Agency (Mar 9): Bangsamoro peace process forum at PMA today

A forum on the Bangsamoro peace process will be held today at the Philippine Military Academy at Fort del Pilar here.

Spearheaded by the MindaNews and the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Mindanao Cluster in cooperation with PIA Cordillera, the activity aims to enlighten the participants on the peace process and issues in Mindanao. 

For even as the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) was not passed by the 16th Congress, the Comprehensive Agreement of the Bangsamoro (CAB) from which the proposed BBL was created, remains binding for the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to end hostilities and promote peace and stability in the Bangsamoro area.

Professor  Miriam Coronel-Ferrer, chairperson of the GPH Peace Panel and Mr. Mohahger Iqbal, Chair of the MILF Peace Negotiating  Panel, and Bangsamoro Transition Committee, are the resource persons in this forum from 9:00-11:30 AM.

Baguio Mayor Mauricio Domogan is also expected to give reaction on the Bangsamoro peace process vis a vis   the pursuit of Cordillera autonomy and development. The 1987 Constitution provides for the creation of autonomous regions in Muslim Mindanao and in the Cordillera.

 Participants are PMA officers and cadets who would likely be assigned in Mindanao in the future, media, representatives from the line agencies and students from the different universities in the city.

PMA Superintendent MGen. Donato B. San Juan II  will welcome guests and participants to this event.
