Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City – October 24, 2021
Leaders of the military, police, and Moro Islamic Liberation Front together with local government officials of Zamboanga Sibugay Province signed affirmation of support to the peace agreement in a simple ceremony held at the 102nd Infantry Brigade Headquarters in Sanito, Ipil on Saturday, October 23, 2021.
Maj. Gen. Alfredo Rosario, Jr., Commander of Western Mindanao Command; Brig. Gen. Leonel Nicolas, Commander of 102nd Infantry Brigade; Police Col. Albert Larubis, Director of Zamboanga Sibugay Provincial Police Office; Zamboanga Sibugay 1st District Representative Wilter Palma II; Zamboanga Sibugay 2nd District Representative Dulce Ann Hofer; 113th BIAF-MILF Base Commander Suaib Edris; and other military, police, and MILF officials vowed to continuously generate goodwill and trust in the peace agreement between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. They also pledged to actively promote an inclusive peaceful environment conducive for sustainable development in the region.
It can be recalled that last October 12, a Joint Peace and Security Team (JPST) was activated and deployed in the municipality of Tungawan, Zamboanga Sibugay Province. The team is composed of 30 members, of whom seven are Army troops, eight are police personnel, and 15 are members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
JPSTs have been tasked to support the maintenance of peace and order and stability in areas that will undergo the decommissioning process under the normalization track of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, which aims to help MILF combatants make the transition to peaceful civilian life, while their communities will be transformed into peaceful, progressive, and resilient communities.
In his message, Maj. Gen. Rosario, Jr. said, “On behalf of the officers, enlisted personnel, and civilian human resources of the Western Mindanao Command, I give my full support to this endeavor. This is a great stride towards the attainment of our coveted peace not only in the Bangsamoro but the entire Mindanao region”.
Highlight of the activity was the fun shoot and fellowship participated by the representatives from the security sector and the MILF key leaders in Zamboanga Peninsula.
