Around 500 members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) are set to attend the historic signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) in Malacanang on Thursday, Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Teresita Deles said on Tuesday.
In a Palace media briefing, Deles also assured that the government’s security forces are aware of the possibilities and are ready for all contingencies.
Meanwhile, government peace panel chairman Miriam Coronel-Ferrer said that the signing will also be done in the presence of more than 1,000 people at the Palace grounds.
She further said that the signing will demonstrate how the event is important for all Filipinos and not just those of the Bangsamoro or the people of Mindanao.
“Under this government, those who are left out are those who want to be left out,” Deles said, referring to the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA)'s umbrella organization National Democratic Front (NDF).
“...The door remains open to all fronts that (for) one to work together with government, it is still a call to partnership,” Deles said.
“It is still a call to partnership to all groups and we will continue to proceed up to the last day of this agreement to bring that message across,” she added.
