COTABATO CITY. march 18, 2018.- The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in coordination with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) held closing ceremony of MILF Para - Social Workers Training at CFSI Office, Cotabato City, yesterday, March 17, 2018.

The capacity building is the first training on child protection of children and families affected by armed conflict for MILF para - social workers held by batches. 

The 1st and 2nd batches were conducted in Iligan City, and the 3rd batch in Zamboanga City, and the 4th, and last batch here in Cotabato City. 

The said activity was facilitated by Community and Family Services International (CFSI) thru its Mindanao Head Noraida Abdullah Karim who thanked the leadership of MILF for allowing them to implement the Fresh Start Program (FSP) and to the focal persons of the MILF (MILF - Secretariat, Social Welfare Committee MILF, Bangsaoro Islamic Women Auxiliary Brigade, BIAF, and MILF- Da'wah Central Committee).

The activity was realized thru the assistance  by The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) that aims to capacitate the Moro Front in handling social issues that need to be addressed. 

On the part of the MILF focal persons, they reiterated their appreciation to CFSI, and UNICEF for making the activity fruitful, and successful, and vowed to commit themselves to the program. 

The team leader of MILF focal persons Sheik Abdulhadie B. Gumander imparted to the participants a perspective on " Pledge of Allegiance in Islam " and made emphasis on the context of " Mubaya'ah " or commitment, and its importance. 

He argued that Pledge of Allegiance is allowed in Islam, and practiced by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong..

He also stated that part of allegiance is loyalty to the leader in general by following his order or command for the welfare of Muslim Ummah (community of Muslims) or Bangsamoro people in particular, and he is bound to defend its ranks against evildoers. 

"By accepting the " amanah " (trust) reposed to us in helping the 1,869 MILF disengaged children, and their families...no matter what happen to the Bangsamoro aspirations...By Allah, we are committed to it," Sheikh Gumander concluded.
