Cotabato City-In compliance with the normalization track of the peace
process with the Government of the Philippines (GPH), 25 men and women
high ranking officers of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front-Bangsamoro
Islamic Armed Forces (MILF-BIAF) in Western Mindanao Front have
undergone Trainers Training (ToT) at LM Metro Hotel, Zamboanga City on
February 19-22.
The program prepares the MIILF combatants to transform into
civilian lives and transform the camps into vibrant and productive
communities. The participants came from the 113rd, 114th, 115th and
117th Base Commands and Bangsamoro Islamic Women Auxiliary Brigade
(BIWAB) of each command. This is the 5th batch as the other base
commands have already completed the training last year.
The
training covered 10 modules such as History of the Bangsamoro and the
MILF, the Bangsamoro Organic Law/BARMM, Moral Governance, Islamic Values
and Leadership, Qualities of a Leader, Conflict Resolution, and
Managing the Package of the Decommissioning.
The
activity was facilitated by the School of Peace and Democracy –
Bangsamoro (SPD-B) - selected staff from the Bangsamoro Development
Agency (BDA) and from the BTA, under administrative and logistic support
of the United Nation Development Program (UNDP).
Mr.
Toks Ibrahim, the Administrative Officer of the BIAF, vouched for the
activity expressed a message of gratitude to the UNDP, the SPD – B and
to the base commands in the Western Minindanao Front headed by its OIC
Front Commander Malik Caril.
Meanwhile, Mr.
Nelson Peloton, Jr., the Project Officer of the UNDP, said that after
the 5th batch, the stakeholders will hold assessment of the program and
hopefully it will be cascaded in the MILF camps and communities. But he
expressed a wait-and-see situation as the BTA extension is still in
consideration.
The activity is one of the
requisites of the decommissioning under the Annex on Normalization of
the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) signed on March 27,
2014, and the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) signed by the Philippine
Government and the MILF on August 26, 2018, resspectively. The
completers of the training will handle the succeeding trainings of the
would-be decommissioned BIAF combatants.
