A leader of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) declared their support to the national government in its agenda against illegal drugs, crimes and corruption.
Chairman Yusoph Jikiri emphasized that together with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the MNLF will be one with the government in preserving law and order in the country.
“Count the Bangsamoro as your loyal partner in promoting your agenda for change,” Jikiri told President Rodrigo Roa Duterte during the Bangsamoro Assembly on November 27 at the Old Provincial Capitol in Barangay Simuay, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao.
Jikiri also expressed gratitude to Duterte in taking the initiative to end the long time Bangsamoro issue.
He said the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) will be an appropriate solution to address historical injustices and other problems the Bangsamoro is facing.
Convening the Bangsamoro Assembly is one of the mandates of the expanded Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) to discuss the proposed BBL.
In his message during the Assembly, Duterte emphasized that the Bangsamoro is one of the hardest issues his administration is facing, but he promised to work hard to correct the historical injustice.
“If we do not solve this problem, the injustices will not end and the next generations will suffer,” he said, adding that there is a need to have a peace talk as everyone continues to build the country.
Duterte also promised that he will ask the Congress to hold a special session on the proposed BBL.
“I will work hard for it. I will ask the Congress for a special session to hear you talk about this in congress,” he said. “Ang sa akin lang, it must be inclusive. Lahat, walang maiwan dito sa peace talk na ito. The MILF, the MNLF, lahat na. Lumad, kailangan kasali.”
