Sahabudin Ukang, Vice-Chairman of Muslim Youth Brotherhood-Damakling Chapter emotionally said that the implementation of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) through the passage of an acceptable BBL will end bloody hostilities in Mindanao,  deaths of innocent civilians especially children, women, the ageds and the loss of billions worth of properties.

Most of the speakers were one in saying that passing the BTC-BBL Version will not only correct historical injustices committed against the Moro people, but will also accelerate development in the proposed Bangsamoro Region whose people have long suffered oppression, and marginalization due to centuries of foreign and Filipino colonialism..
