MILF Base Commanders, officers in Lanao del Sur set for community facilitators
September 8, 2020, Cotabato City - Top brass of the North Eastern
Mindanao Front, Lanao del Sur, of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces,
MILF have completed the Training of Trainers (ToT) facilitated by the
School of Peace and Democracy (SPD) - Bangsamoro conducted at Apple Tree
Resort and Hotel, Taboc, Opol, Misamis Oriental on September 2-3.
The activity was in preparation for the decommissioning of
combatants of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF), Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) as part of the normalization track of the MILF
and GPH peace talk.
North Eastern Mindanao
Front Commander, now Member of the Parliament (MP) of the Bangsamoro
Transition Authority, BARMM, Jannati Mimbantas led the 24 participants
who represent the 101st, 103rd, 119th, 120th, 121st, 122nd, National
Defense Base Commands, and North Eastern Mindanao Front.
MP
Mimbantas said that the training boosted the morale of the BIAF,
enlightened them of the current situation, reminded them of the cause of
the struggle. “This serves as educational information on moral
governance, politics, religion, culture, Jihad, and BARMM government. He
expressed his support to the program and thanked the UNDP and the SPD
for providing the training to his men. This will be a key weapon for
sustainable development in the Bangsamoro communities, he pointed out.
The
training covers the topics on Bangsamoro History and the Peace Process,
My History in BIAF, MILF, BOL, Islamic Values, Leadership and
Management, Moral Governance, Conflict Resolution, Managing the Package,
and Community Development.
Based on the said
topics, the former combatants are trained and capacitated with skills
that will help them transition to civilian life. This is one of the most
crucial components of normalization and peace process in the Bangsamoro
Region as it puts the guns and weapons of the combatants beyond use.
In
his speech during the closing program, Mr. Enrico Gaveglia, the
Resident Representative Ad interim of the UNDP Philippines expressed
support and hope for further collaboration for the success of the
activities.
In his phone patch message to
the participants, Mr. Akmad Alon Ibrahim, the head of the Secretariat of
the MILF Joint Normalization Committee and the Admin Officer of the
MILF General Staff voiced out his support to the program and extended
words of gratitude to the UNDP and to the SPD for continuing enthusiasm
to the Bangsamoro.
The participants are
expected to cascade their learning as new community facilitators in
their camps. This is the second batch after a the same training
conducted to the 111th, 112th, 107th and 104th Base Commands, National
Guard, General Headquarters and Bangsamoro Women Auxiliary Brigade
(BWAB) held at Eden Nature Park in Toril, Davao City on February 22-24,
2020.
The SPD is part of the START-Peace Project of
UNDP Philippines with support from the Australian Government and in
partnership with the BARMM Government.
