Honorable Members of the MILF Peace Negotiating Panel
Distinguished Members of the GRP Peace Negotiating Panel,
Distinguished Members of the International Contact Group,
Excellencies,

Assamalu Alaykum wa Rahmatullaha wa Barakatu. We all desire peace in Mindanao. But the road towards it has been characterized by alternating chapters of talks and impasse. Since the talks with the MILF began in 1996 there have been several roadblocks that led to standoff in the negotiations. In August 2008, after the Supreme Court decided on the unconstitutionality of the MOA-AD, some MILF commanders attacked villages and communities in protest of decision. The talks were stalled once more.

The 2010 Philippine National Election did give much wisdom that both national and local candidates should ponder. Analyzing the outcome of the election particularly in the Bangsamoro dominated areas will give us some thought of its effect to the winning or losing of candidates from local to national level. On the other hand, the lessons learned could also be a potential tool of the Bangsamoro in advancing their aspiration for their right to self-determination.

We are shocked and saddened by the Isabela City crisis that took place on April 13, 2010. As we analyzed the incident, we came to a conclusion that this is not an issue between Muslims and Christians. Rather, it is an issue of who monster-minded it and what is the real motive.

As we vehemently condemn whoever the perpetrators are, we are call on our political leaders to unite and sit together to address and resolve the Isabela City crisis through peaceful means. We likewise call on the Muslim and Christian populace and their spiritual leaders to share their part in maintaining our peaceful co-existence in our province for the safety and security of the Basileño.

As the curtain was beginning to fall on 2009, the on-and-off peace negotiations between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) resumed in Kuala Lumpur, with both parties agreeing to begin talks on the drafting of a Comprehensive Peace Compact that would resolve the Moro question.

The year, however, drew to a close without any far-reaching movement in the GRP-MILF peace process.
