She said, let us not let another temerity when the former leadership of the province mishandled the issue on the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOAAD) that caused the loss of many lives in the province with thousands displacement of residents.
Now is the time that we must work together for peace. We must assist in any manner we can in the attainment of good result in the about to be concluded peace negotiation. She said, on her part, she will be going to put in writing her contribution as support to the peace process. Her work may guide the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) in drafting the Bangsamoro Basic Law. It will also give similar guidance to the Philippine Congress in enacting the Basic Law into the Philippine laws.
She considers the necessity of giving attention to the “so-called gray areas in her province”. She was referring to the Indigenous people that constituted considerable number and occupying large area in the mountainous municipalities of North Cotabato.
Another speaker named Prof. Juliet Mendoza, representing Mindanao State University (MSU), main campus, Marawi City, gave some remarks concerning the signing of the last annex on the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB). She said, let us all be concern on the ongoing peace process between the GPH and the MILF, so much so that the conclusion is already on sight. The striking point on her speech was her favourable support to the joint panels’ achievement of the GPH and the MILF as recently demonstrated in signing the last annex.
The lady governor and the lady mentor concerned and supportive of the peace process are leaders worthy of emulation by other political leaders and academicians in our midst.
The convention was a conglomeration of tertiary students taking up courses in International studies and in International relations from different colleges and universities in Mindanao.
They were escorted by their respective mentors and other schools’ key officials. On the part of the University of Southern Mindanao (USM), the OIC-President, Atty. Christoper B. Cabelin led the university group in attending the affair.
Initial arrivals constituted the groups from the USM of Kabacan; MSU of Marawi City; Ateneo de Davao of Davao City; Ateneo de Cagayan of Cagayan de Oro City and others are expected yet to arrive. The gathering will be in four days that started on February 6, 2014 and will end on February 9, 2014.
