"This public forum will raise awareness about the GPH-MILF breakthroughs and the ways and means by which the government of the day can further fortify the bureaucracy in the region." This forum will also help us prepare for the first regional elections in the BARMM and other political-security considerations.
We are all honored that we have a distinguished panel of experts and thought leaders to provide and share their insights and experiences in conflict resolution, governance, and socio-economic development in pursuit of lasting peace in the Bangsamoro and, at large, the whole country.", Chief Minister Ebrahim said in his message
This CAB is the result of careful negotiation between the MILF and the GPH to resolve the Bangsamoro issue in a way that is honorable, just, and respectable for all parties.
