‘There is no disruption [to the MNLF peace process] and we continue to engage also the MNLF in Sulu for our different programs,’ says Jill Gallardo of OPAPRU
MANILA, Philippines – Despite its exclusion from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), Sulu remains “a priority area” for the national government’s peace work as it is still covered by the 1996 final peace agreement with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).
“In terms of the MNLF peace process, Sulu is still a priority area because it’s a bastion of the struggle, especially of the MNLF,” Jill Gallardo, director of the MNLF peace process office, told reporters on Friday, July 3. “There is no disruption and we continue to engage also the MNLF in Sulu for our different programs.”
Gallardo said interventions in the province continue “even if they’re not anymore part of the BARMM, because the 1996 final peace agreement covers the implementation in Sulu.”
