Zamboanga City CSOS hold series of consultative meeting on BTA extension
ZAMBOANGA CITY (December 30. 2020)- A series of consultative
meetings in the Bangsamoro grassroots communities were conducted by the
Bangsamoro CSOs and peace-advocates in Bangsamoro dominated barangays in
Zamboanga City.
The consultative meeting was in response to the call of
other Bangsamoro Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) for BTA extension to
2025 which is an imperative step to sustain the gains of peace
agreement.
Mr. Ekong Insani with fellow officers of
BCOBAR Federation organized the program in an effort to level up the
understanding of the Bangsamoro community leaders of their role in peace
building to become more participative in strengthening the new Moro
region.
Ustadh Taha Daranda, a CSO head, peace
advocate, and also Deputy Coordinator for Zamboanga City in the
Federation of Bangsamoro Communities Outside the Bangsamoro Autonomous
Region (BCOBAR) along with other community leaders are intensifying
their peacebuilding activities.
Ustadz Daranda said
that the dividends of peace could not truly be felt by the Bangsamoro
people if the provisions ascribed in the Comprehensive Agreement on the
Bangsamoro (CAB), and normalization provisions in the Bangsamoro Organic
Law (BOL) are not completely implemented.
Giving
enough time to peace implementing panels and to BTA can also be part of
confidence-building measure with the Philippines Government and Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) are faithfully committed to the signed
peace agreement.
“The bottom line of our fervent
appeal to President Rodrigo R. Duterte and to Congress is to sustain the
gains of peace agreement by extending the BTA till 2025,” Ustadh
Daranda stressed.
Mr. Ekong Insani, a Bangsamoro
Community organizer also said that the Bangsamoro people both inside and
those residing outside the BARMM areas are optimistic that all
Bangsamoro will be benefitted once the social service delivery rolls
out, thus ample time is very much needed to convert those provisions
into doable implementation.
On December 24, Thursday,
Ustadh Taha also engaged with Bangsamoro Business Sector, the Z.C United
Fish Vendors Multi-Purpose Cooperative in Zambaoanga City giving them
updates on the trend of Bangsamoro Government and the rationale of the
different CSOs appeal for BTA extension to 2025.
“We,
the Bangsamoro residing outside the BARMM is banking on Article VI.
Section 12 of BOL. He said that that it cannot be fully implemented once
the BTA term is not extended for the implementation of important
provisions of the BOL,” Ustadh Daranda said.
The
engagement was attended by Mr. Yashier Hanapi, President of Z.C United
Fish Vendors Multi-Purpose Cooperative, and other Bangsamoro religious
leaders in the city who wanted updates on the implementation status and
the current programs of BARMM for the Bangsamoro people especially those
residing in Zamboanga City.
Mr. Tirso S. Tahir, an
officer of the Bangsamoro Leadership and Management Institute (BLMI)
and peacebuilding Advocate facilitated these series of activities, and
shared valuable inputs during the series of engagements in the
Bangsamoro Communities.
