Prof. Al-Amin answered and quoted President Benigno Aquino’s remarks made during the signing of the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) on October 15, 2012, that the “ARMM is a failed experiment”.
All other questions, doubts, and concerns of the participants were intelligently answered by Prof. Al-Amin, a respected academician.
