OPAPP, DTI distribute Mobile Rice Mill Equipment to MILF Decommissioned MILF Combatants

Sultan, Kudarat, Maguindanao—The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) distributed Thursday thirty (30) initial units of Mobile Rice Mill Equipment to Decommissioned MILF Combatants at Camp Darapanan, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao. 

 

The equipment is part of the joint socio-economic development project between OPAPP and the Department of Trade and Industry. 

 

According to a report by Bangsamoro Information Office-BARMM, Friday, the project, amounting to Php30-Million, will benefit the identified major camps of the MILF combatants, their families, and immediate relatives.

OPAPP and DTI are the funding and implementing agencies of the said socio-economic project called Inter Cabinet Cluster Mechanism on Normalization – Peaceful Return and Aggressive Inclusion Social Entrepreneurship (ICCMN-PRAISE).

The projected fund was reflected on the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) both parties agreed and signed last Sept. 11, 2020 that aims to promote the meaningful implementation of the Annex on Normalization of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB), the report also said.

Present during the event were Minister for Trade, Investment, and Tourism Abu Amri Taddik, Deputy Minister for Environment, Natural Resources and Energy Akmad Ebrahim, DTI Undersecretary Abdulgani Macatoman, Ariel Hernandez of ICCMN, Parliament Member Shahara Mastura, MILF combatants, and other key dignitaries.

Taddik expressed his gratitude to the initiative of the National Government to fulfill its commitment under the CAB.

“This project is one of the ways to integrate our former combatants into [the] society by giving them sustainable livelihood that could improve their way of life,” he said.

Meanwhile, Macatoman said more significant programs are set to benefit the Mujahideens (DCs) as phase two is approaching.

In his message read by the MENRE deputy minister Ebrahim, Chief Minister Ahod B. Ebrahim said the transition period is not just centered on establishing the regional bureaucracy in the Bangsamoro region.

“The other half of the process is the normalization track which aims to transform our combatants as productive civilian members of the society and reform their respective communities from decades-long of unrest and conflict,” Ebrahim, who is also the MILF chairman, said.
