There’s no shortcut to peace, because peace is a process’ – MP Susana Anayatin
COTABATO CITY – Dr Susana S. Anayatin, a non-Muslim Member of
Parliament, said, ‘There is no shortcut to peace because peace is a
process’ in Kaunlaran sa Bangsamoro talk show of the Bangsamoro
Multimedia Network (BMN) Inc. on Tuesday, September 14, 2021.
Anayatin was invited to guest the talk show to discuss her
contributions in the parliament and initiatives in call for Bangsamoro
Transition Authority (BTA) Extension up to 2025.
“To
President Duterte, Senate, Congress and Bangsamoro Leaders, there is no
short cut to peace because peace is a process. That's why we are
calling on all of you to give way to the extension of Bangsamoro
Transition Authority as an institution of peace in Mindanao," she said.
When
asked on the current status of her office and its mandate, Anayatin
said, “Well provided naman kami nung aming mga pangangailangan in terms
of equipment and budget as well. Sa pamamagitan ng provision na ‘yon
naitataguyod at nagagawa natin ang mga mandato para sa Bangsamoro at ang
unang mandate ng office ay legislation. In terms of legislation we were
able to facilitate the creation of an Office for Settlers Communities
in the BARMM. Naipasa na siya kasama ang Administrative Code at last
month naitalaga na ni Chief Minister ang mamumuno sa tanggapan nayan sa
katauhan ni Mr. Edgar Ramirez.”
[Our needs in
terms of equipment and budget are well provided. With this provision, we
are able to execute our mandate for the Bangsamoro and our primary
mandate is legislation. We were able to pass it together with the
Administrative Code and last month the Chief Minister designated Mr.
Edgar Ramirez to manage the said office.]
Anayatin conveyed that she is one of the authors of the Administrative Code, Civil Service Code and Education Code.
The
lady legislator further disclosed that she is also a member of the
Committee on Rules, Committee on Budget and Management, Committee on
Education and Committee on Trade and Industry.
Aside
from a being lawmaker, Anayatin is also inclined in initiating tangible
projects. “Meron din kaming mga function to identify projects under
TDIF or Transitional Development Impact Funds. Out of that initiative,
nakapag sponsor po tayo ng road construction sa SPDA, DOS (Datu Odin
Sinsuat), Maguindanao, water system sa Sapalan also in DOS, School Fish
Landing sa Kakar DOS, at dalawang ambulance sa residente ng Datu Odin at
Datu Piang,” Anayatin said.
[We also have
function to identify projects under TDIF or Transitional Development
Impact funds. We were able sponsor road construction at SPDA, DOS,
Maguindanao, water system at Sapalan also in DOS, School Fish Landing at
Kakar DOS, and two ambulances for the residents of Datu Odin and Datu
Piang.]
According to Anayatin, as part of her
regular humanitarian services, their office gave food packs to the four
orphanages in Cotabato City and Sultan Kudarat and they were able to
provide hygiene kits and school supplies to some schools in the city.
Meanwhile,
Anayatin said that participation in the regional government is one of
the concerns of the Settler Communities being addressed by the BARMM
Government.
“Kasi noong ARMM wala talagang
partisipasyon ang settlers sa ARMM. Meron ngang posisyon for Deputy
Vice-Governor for ARMM [ngunit] wala namang siyang tanggapan, wala
namang programa, pero sa ngayon sa ginawa nating batas may programa, may
upisina at tao na magpapairal ng proyekto at programa ng Bangsamoro.
Unang pinakamalaking kaibahan sa ARMM na mabebenepisyuhan ng mga settler
communities [sa kasalukuyang Bangsamoro government].
[During
the ARMM stint there was no participation of the settlers in the
regional government. There was a position Deputy Vice-Governor for ARMM
but no office, no program and now we pass a law creating program, office
and personnel that will handle projects and programs of the Bangsamoro.
The first huge difference in the ARMM is that settlers will be
benefitted.]
Anayatin has also relayed the
feedbacks of people in the community and said “Some feedback sa BARMM na
naririnig ko ay ‘Mapia ged i BARMM anya ka pakatabang ged.’ Nakakataba
ng puso sa pamamagitan noong maliliit nating proyekto naipapadama natin
sa ating mga kababayan na may gobyerno tayo, na pwedeng takbuhan.”
[Some
feedback in BARMM that I heard was that “This BARMM is nice for it
really helps us.” It is heart-warming that through our small projects we
were able to let the people feel that we have government which they can
ask for help.]
“The BARMM Government is far
different from the previous ARMM,” she emphasized. “Road constructions,
monthly distribution of food packs in some orphanages are some of the
manifestation that this government is really governing morally.”
Anayatin
also expressed that three years is not enough for a transition from
rebel to civil life and related that in other countries, they were given
six years.
