Cotabato City– The recent report released by the Intergovernmental
Relations Body (IGRB) reflected the fulfilled promises of President
Rodrigo Duterte to sustain the gains of the comprehensive peace process

December 2019 to December 2021 where 11 key issues in the first progress
report have been addressed.
“This report is a
manifestation that President Duterte remains committed to bringing
lasting and sustainable peace closer to the Bangsamoro people. He stayed
true to his promise of honoring all signed peace agreements,"
Presidential Peace Adviser Carlito Galvez Jr. said in a statement
Tuesday, the PNA report said.
The concerns included
the transfer of properties and assets of offices of national government
agencies within the BARMM to the Bangsamoro government; nationally
funded programs; Philippine Overseas Employment Administration and
Overseas Workers Welfare Administration in the region; participation of
the Bangsamoro government in the Al-Amanah Islamic Investment Bank of
the Philippines; policing in the Bangsamoro; creation of an inter-agency
committee for purposes of inventory; transfer of real properties of the
ARMM outside the BARMM; joint exploration, development, and utilization
of fossil fuels and uranium;

trust, respect, and sincerity [that] contributed largely to the smooth
and efficient delivery of services to the Bangsamoro people".
For
his part, Iqbal thanked Duterte for meeting with them during the last
days of his presidency, “which we consider one of the most sincere and
facilitative administrations, and a friend to the peace process”.
"I
can truly and proudly say that he has shown his sincerity in more ways
than one with his actions as he fulfilled his promises of supporting the
Bangsamoro peace process during his term of office,” he added.

in a timely manner towards achieving the ideals set by the Bangsamoro
