He said should federalism be established in the Bangsamoro Region it must be compliant with the provisions provided in the BBL and CAB in letter and spirit lest all times and efforts in seventeen years of peace negotiation would be put to waste.
Professor Aiyub also solicited some inputs from the participants on identifying issues and concerns regarding Moro youth non-participation or involvement in solving the Bangsamoro problem during the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) in the form of workshop.
Before concluding his lecture he made a statement for the youth to remember that the peace process does not end with the passage of BBL, it rather continue until all agreements stipulated in the CAB are implemented and subsequently will lead to the signing of the Exit Agreement.
Notably, on the part of the participants there were at least three names that rose to the occasion in interacting with the resource speaker Professor Aiyub.
They were Saudi Daranda, Sitti Kaushar Maring and Zhayma Abubakar who are identified as son of MILF and daughters of MNLF respectively. The rests were either intentionally opted to remain passive or too shy to participate in the activity.
