Among the objective of the said activity was to give updates to the Bangsamoro in the grassroot communities on the current programs of Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), and disseminate the advocacy of BARMM leadership on Moral Governance,

Hadji Basher Ampat, BIAF Officer from 9th Brigade of Exp. M-NGF, also a CSO Officer has been facilitating series of activities in the Bangsamoro communities in a bid to sustain the gains of Peace Agreement through active participation in peacebuilding and join with the call of various CSOs and other peace advocates for the extension of BTA until 2025.

Tirso S. Tahir, an Officer from Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute (BLMI) explained the reasons why the BTA term should be extended, and enlightened the attendees on the significance of moral governance to get rid of malpractices and other illegal acts.  

“The most doable approach to sustain the gains of peace agreement is to extend the BTA tenure until all provisions of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) are implemented by the GPH-MILF Peace Implementing Panels,” Tahir said.

For his part, Mr. Nas Pulindao, Vice President of Federation of Bangsamoro Civil Society Organizations (FBCSO) elucidated on the Bangsamoro narratives and gave in depth emphasis on the peace agreements signed by GPH and the MILF.
