Paying taxes ILIGAN City -- The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Iligan City, during the kick-off for this year’s District Tax Campaign, encouraged taxpayers to pay correctly saying that taxes are the lifeblood of the nation.

BIR Revenue District Officer Lordel T. Monteclaro of Revenue District 101 said that paying of taxes will return back in terms of infrastructure program of the government, on education as well as welfare program that would benefit the people.

Hopes, fears aired on signing of peace pact

By CAROLYN O. ARGUILLAS, MindaNews

DATU PIANG, Maguindanao – The signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) on Thursday in Malacañang after 17 years of on-and-off peace

negotiations between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), comes at a most insecure time for Mindanao’s peace/PAGE 11

A PHILIPPINE lawmaker on Thursday said the signing of the peace agreement between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and t he government will draw more foreign direct investments to the country.

“Foreign investors need a peaceful and business-friendly environment before they set their businesses in the country, especially in the Bangsamoro region. The challenge for the peace pact is to raise the level of investments in the region,” Valenzuela City Rep. Sherwin Gatchalian said.

According to a special report of the World Bank Institute, the years of discord

“amount to a period in which human or economic development is suspended or, in some cases, even reversed.”

Gatchalian noted t hat p e ace wi ll s et an environment hospitable to economic activities. Former International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn himself tied peace and economic stability, saying: “Peace is a necessary precondition for trade, sustained economic growth, and prosperity. In turn, economic stability, and a rising prosperity that is broadly shared—both within and among countries—can foster peace.”

“The peace pact will guarantee that the Bangsamoro will be a fertile ground for the much-needed investments,” he said.

Such investments, Gatchalian hop ed, will revitalize the Bangsamoro Region and help foster inclusive growth by generating jobs. Poverty incidence among families in the ARMM in 2012 amounted to 48.7%, up from 39.9% in 2009.

ARMM’s poverty incidence record is the highest among the regions in the country, even higher that the overall poverty incidence at 19.7%.

Initial employment figure in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) this year, meanwhile, is 1.29 million, a slow increase from 1.23 million last year, based on the latest labor statistics.

“The FDIs will increase the region’s current employment figure. They will stimulate job creation, boosting the number of employed persons at a faster accord/PAGE 11

“Globe Telecom is not only committed to reducing its own environment a l impact, but also to promote

Globe and its employees pledge to join the global initiative by switching off lights in major offices and LED boards, and their homes.

A participant of Earth Hour for the past years, Globe continues to comply with environmental regulations while incorporating solutions that mitigate climate change such as reducing carbon emissions via products and solutions that will enable a low-carbon economy. It is also on the lookout for other areas where it could make a difference in following the path towards sustainable development.

Consolidated revenue climbed four percent to P99.8 billion from P95.79 billion last year on the strength of its core brands.

SM Investments Vice Chair Tessie Sy-Coson receives the PRA President’s Award from DOT Sec. Ramon Jimenez Jr. (2nd from left), OFR Chairman and DTI Sec. Gregory Domingo (3rd from left) and PRA President Lorenzo Formoso (5th from left) during ceremonies held during the 17th Outstanding Filipino Retailers and Shopping Centers of the Year Awards Night held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Ortigas City. Also shown in the photo are PRA Vice Chairmen Alegria Limjoco and Mars Chua and PRA Chairman Emeritus Samie Lim (right). Ms. Coson was recognized as Philippine Retailing’s Woman Visionary leader.

SM SHINES IN PHILIPPINE RETAIL ASSOCIATION’S AWARDS NIGHT It was a shining moment for SM’s Retail and Shopping C e nte r g roup w h e n it re ceive d s e vera l maj or awards during the Philippine Retail Association’s 17th Outstanding Filipino Retailers and Shopping Centers of the Year Awards night held recently at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Ortigas Center.

Leading the way was the SM Group’s Tessie Sy-Coson, who received the prestigious PRA President’s Award. She was recognized as Philippine Retailing’s Woman Visionary Leader for her “insightful vision and commendable leadership at the help of SM that made it the largest and most consistently successful retail conglomerate in the Philippines.”

“As one of the proponents of this award, I always advocate to give credit to whom it is due,” says former PRA President Mars Chua. “Like her father, she has received so many recognitions and awards – both international and local

– but none from her own peers and from the industry where she started and truly belongs.”

During the same evening, the SM Group received several wards: the Hall of Fame for the SM Store in the Full Line Department Store Category; the Foreign Fashion Apparel Award for Forever 21 in the large store category; the Foreign Brand Category Killer for ACE Hardware; and the Shopping Center of the Year (Small Category) for SM Center Muntinlupa.

This is the ninth year that PRA, the largest organization of the country’s top retailers and prime movers in the retail industry, is handing out the President’s Award to salute the industry’s leaders and visionaries who paved the way for this generation of retailers.

Ms. Coson’s father, SM Founder and Chairman Henry Sy, Sr. was the first PRA Presidential Awardee, honored as the Father of Philippine Retail. She and

her siblings were growing up when their father started his business, and they were involved when they were very young.

In retail, Ms. Coson today oversees the growth of the business, which includes the SM Department Stores, and affiliates totaling 300 stores nationwide. SM’s retail group was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame of Retail Asia’s Asia Pacific Top 500 Awards, a distinction given to retailers who have been award the Best of the Best Award for three consecutive years.

She likewise works closely with SM’s mall operations through SM Prime Holdings, where she sits as Adviser to its Board of Directors; and is Chair of BDO Unibank, Inc. Ms. Coson has received numerous awards, including being named one of Fortune Magazine’s Most Powerful Women in Business for ten years, and Forbes Asia’s Power Business Women list for the past three years.

NORBERT GIEBEL, Respondent.

X--------------------------------/ ORDER

For resolution is a “Motion for Leave of Court for Substitution of Service of Summons by Publication” dated January 29, 2014 and filed by the petitioner on even date alleging: 1. That the petitioner had filed the instant petition before this Honorable Court; 2.

That up to this present no answer was filed by the respondent.

The Court issued an Order dated February 3, 2014, giving the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor, Tubod, Lanao del Norte, to file its comment to the said motion within 5 days from receipt of the said order which until now the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor did not file any comment.

Going over the motion, the same is found to be meritorious.

EAR 1994 when former President Fidel V. Ramos signed the economic alliance with his counterpart in the countries comprising the BIMP East Asean Growth Areas, people in the south have high expectations bordering on the barter trade of Zamboanga and Labuan, Malaysia. It has generated interest in the peoples mobility to open employment in the construction and service sector of Brunei and the textile and rattan trading in Indonesia. It took several clusters committee meetings of the different sector’s alliance to establish the f rame work in the exchange and promotions of trade and tourism. That was twenty years ago of periodic clusters meetings which has not brought significant figure of BIMP trading in the BOI registry and tourist arrivals in the BIMP member countries to the Philippines Department of Tourism arrival statistics?

these arrivals are foreign repeat visits in connection to their established business in the Philippines. The Asean countries which is just our neighbor have not contributed significantly.

Why were there no growth of the Asean segment when the Philippine government is spending so much in the development of foreign relations and travel to the BIMP? What could be the missing formula of the slow BIMP tourist integration t o ou r m ar ke t i n g an d promotions? The orientation of the participants who crafted the tourism framework may not have represented the aspirations and interests of the young BIMP travellers.

Senior officials from the government service of the BIMP memb er nat ions were albeit slow in their discussions to tackle potential problems on eliminating visa requirment and security between borders. Did the cultural devide of Muslim participants from Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia with their Christians counterpart on the Philippine’s side prevented the development of a good tourism product? Is the Filipino tourism product acceptable to the Muslim state

YSFU NCTION -- A few days ago, I sat in a stakeholders’ forum called by the Mindanao Business Council to look into the power situation in Mindanao.

I was shocked to know that the problem is not only about lack of power. There is dysfunction on the level of the key players, PSALM (the government-owned agency tasked to handle the assets of the old NAPOCOR) and NGCP ( a privately-owned power distribution company).

From what I heard during the forum, both agencies need to put their acts together according to MBC Chair Vic Lao. Power generating companies are complaining about information gridlock.

Businessman Paul Doming uez, my former colleague in government who served under former President R a mos a nd President Arroyo as “point person” for M i nd a nao, summarized the core issues: a) dysf unction bet ween NG CP a nd PSA L M; b) dysfunction between NGCP and the power generating companies; c) unresolved dispute between repair contractors in t he La ke Lanao’s Agus hydro and the locals. (the company already sent notice it would withdraw from the project which will set back the Mindanao hydro power timelines). And many of the participants were surprised to know for the first time that the controlling

interest of NGCP are the Chinese. So what happens if our relations with China turns for the worse? They are in control of our core facility!

Hedcor high official Bobby Orig said the fundamental issue of whether the hydro plants will be privitized or not must be resolved first.

Otherwise, PSALM which is mandated as “liquidator” of the Napocor assets will not invest billions to upgrade or repair the plants if they wou ld be forced to sel l those assets per EPIRA law.

Aboitiz Co. vice President Art Milan complained about information dysfunction from “ higher levels”. As power operators, they are kept in the dark and are a gon i zi ng over lack of information.

I had my own complaint as a citizen of Davao del Sur. DASURECO had installed since last December modular gensets courtesy of Alson’s Mapalad power company w it h 15M W op e r at i n g capacity. All the papers are in but the approvals are still stuck in Manila ERC and while the province was in total darkness, they could not even run the engines even on a stopgap, provisional a r ra ngement i nspite of pleadings. How tragic! How calloused and incompetent Manila has become. Then we have a Department of Energy which cannot even resolve the standoff between

two competiting electric cooperatives in Davao del Norte’s DANECO and lamely escaping its responsibility by saying that the courts have now jurisdiction. I do not know personally Energy Secretary Petilla but from what I hear from those in the industry, he is not technically suited for that job. Up to now there is no clear explanation of why the Mindanao system collapsed on Feb 27 except to say the maintenance and forced outage of STEAG plant was the proximate cause.

When Paul Dominguez a s k e d M I N D A’ s Y o Montenegro if the mechanism of t he infrastructure monitoring advisory group (IMAG) was helping, he was shaken to be informed that MINDA now under Secretary Lu Antonino collapsed that mechanism which worked during our ow n watch.

MINDA should have been Mindanao’s point agency to help resolve all this. But, sorry to say, it is losing that mandate by default. It is more tragic because it is now a more empowered “authority” (not a mere “council” when Paul and I ran it) and the competent staff are still around. However MINDA will matter only to the extent Malacanang will allow it.

Unfortunately, this seems to be not the case.

Mindanaoans cannot wait for another 2 years to see better things in the power

Of course, the controversy involving the Sultanate of Sulu had intervened in the meantime that cooled off relations and the connections got lost in the various channels. The cooperation arrangement under the Brunei , Indonesia, Ma laysia, Phi lippine East Asean Growth Area (popularly known as BIMP E AGA) wa s one of t he unintended casualties of the incident. But that’s behind us now.

According to Malaysian Consul General Abdullah Zawawi Tahir, there are still about 700,000 Filipinos in Sabah and a good number are availing of the formalization process of getting “documented”. This is still work in progress. With the forthcoming signing of dureza/PAGE 10

“ The Administration continues to work with LGUs and key implementing agencies in delivering postdisaster aid to Yolandastricken areas. Although it’s been nearly six months since the super typhoon struck, the victims of the disaster are still in the process of rebuilding their communities,” Abad said.

“The funds released so far will definitely allow the agencies to carr y out re h abi l it at i on an d

reconstruction projects in areas affected by Typhoon Yolanda. Along with ensuring the countr y’s continued growth, mobilizing postc a l am it y ai d i s s t i l l a priority for the Aquino administration,” he added.

In the report, the DBM said that operations units in the agenc y’s C entral Office have already received requests for Yolanda aid totalling P15.1 billion.

Fund sources against which the releases may be charged are under the category of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

Funds. These include FY 2013 and 2014 appropriations for the Calamity Fund/ Nat iona l Dis aster R isk Reduction and Management Fund, the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Program, and Supplemental Appropriations.

Altogether, the allocations for t hes e f und s ources amount to P51.4 billion.

Abad also said that in view of previous announcements, unobligated allotments and unreleased appropriations for Maintenance and Other Operating Expenditures (MO OE) and Capital Outlay (CO) under the 2013 General Appropriations Act (GAA). These allocations— which was pegged at an estimated P10.2 billion—will be treated as Continuing Appropriations for calamityrelated purposes, subject to National Budget Circular (NBC) No. 553.

“The DBM will continue to issue monthly and quarterly reports on releases made for Yolanda-related projects.

Such reports are not just a matter of compliance, but also of principle: we need to be as transparent as possible on how much in public funds are already available for postdisaster initiatives. This move towards transparency and accountability also serves to inform the public—Yolanda victims in particular—of the aid they can and should expect from the government,” Abad said.

“We are truly happy for this recognition. We share this award with the people of Lanao del Norte especially our rice-producing towns and with Governor K ha l i d D i m ap oro w ho has been very supportive to our agriculture sector,” Provincial Agriculturist Letecia Ditucalan expressed.

Other top performing provinces include Nueva Ecija, North Cotabato, Nueva Viscaya, Isabela, Pangasinan, Ilocos Norte, Bukidnon, Bulacan, Kalinga, Mindoro Occidental, and Laguna.

A total of P117 million has been earmarked as cash prizes and project grants for the proclaimed winners of the award.

The top provinces receive project grants as prizes amounting to P4-million each, while the top cities and towns receive one million each.

Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala graced the occasion. He said that the Rice Achievers award is a way of showing gratitude to the farmers, local government units, and other stakeholders who remain committed to achieving rice sufficiency in the country.

grew faster than market demand. Meanwhile, the fresh meats business performed strongly on account of improvements in hog growing efficiencies and favorable market prices,” Purefoods said.

Revenues of the flour business advanced four percent on the back of better sales volumes.

Last year, Purefoods inaugurated a grains terminal in Mabini, Batangas that can accommodate large Panamax vessels, allowing the company to enjoy lower freight costs and terminal fees.

“We are happy with the way that SMPFC has been able to generate savings and invest this in key strategic areas of focus that can grow operating profit and margins, specifically in the areas of distribution, and logistics represented by the new grains terminal,” Ang said.

Banana... from page 5

“Sometime, some members are expanding in other areas due to threat that typhoon ‘Pablo’ might revisit.

Some players have moved to Visayas and have started to consider areas planted with sugarcane,” said Stephen Antig, executive director of the Philippine Banana Growers and Exporters Association (PBGEA).

But Antig said banana production is expanding also in General Santos, South Cotabato and ARMM areas.

At the same time, Antig told the body that the 14,000 hectares of banana plantation destroyed by typhoon “Pablo” in December 2012 are now on the way to recovery and its rehabilitation could be completed by the “end of 2014 or early 2015”.

“As of 2013 we are still the second biggest exporter of bananas in the world next to Ecuador. There are 82,000 hectares planted with bananas spread over 13 provinces including the ARMM. More than 160,000 individuals are directly dependent on the banana industry, and if we consider the support industries, there are more than two million individuals indirectly dependent on it,” he said.

An estimated P26-29 billion comes out from the banana industry every payday, he added.

“There is so much money in circulation that whenever it’s payday in Tagum City and Panabo City even the GROs (guest relations officers or drinking bar girls) are happy,” he said.

Presently, the banana industry is facing problems and threats such as the continued pestilence of the “Panama” and “Sigatoka” diseases to banana plants.

A nt i g s ai d t h at t he “Panama” disease is soilborne and is spread through banana seedlings while banana companies are trying to continue but “there is still

no known cure, no chemical discovered” to eradicate it.

He war ne d t hat t he d e s t r u c t i on of b an an a production in Panama, Taiwan and Malaysia by the “Panama” disease “can happen in the Philippines” and hence it can bring a “big blow not only to Davao del Norte but also to the entire country.”

On t he ot her hand, Severino Mercado, a big banana grower in Davao del Norte, said that “Sigatoka” leaf spot disease can only be effectively contained by the use of aerial spraying.

Spray aircraft flies though at a high cost.

“We spend P150,000 to P200,000 per 30 minutes of the small plane. It costs an average of P120,000 per hectare per year,” he said.

The Food and Agriculture O r g an i z at i on re p or t e d Sigatoka disease devastated b a n a n a p l a nt at i on s i n Caribbean island countries in the 1990s and their banana trade almost ground to a halt.

Dureza...

from page 8 the peace agreement with the MILF, I foresee a “surge” in the re-connections between Malaysia and Mindanao, especially in the business sector. Governments, due to the usual protocols, are usually slow in responding. But the private sector must take over the driver’s seat and be the engines of growth as envisioned. But that window is narrow.

RECONNECTING -- A few days ago, I re-connected with Sabah by meeting its 12-member delegation during their visit of Davao City. Pretty Susan Chang, one of the moving spirits in BIMP EAGA during my time, brought her business delegation from Kota Kinabalu (KK) in a roadshow for the forthcoming Sabah International Expo (SIE) in September, 2014.

Datuk Seri Panglima Wong, a prominent businessman and head of Sabah’s educational association met with University of Mindanao president Willie Torres in an effort to establish linkages across borders in the higher education sector. I had a long chat with one of the SIE movers retired Brig Gen. Datuk Arulpragasam over dinner hosted by ConGen Abdullah. BIMP EAGA old hand Angie Angliongto of the local chamber of commerce was on hand to escort them all throughout. I seemed to get the feel that MINDA missed up on its usual good staff support this time on a visiting delegation.

Congen Abdullah I was told had to do last minute hotel room arrangements for them.

The visitors were expecting to meet MINDA Chair Lu Antonino but for one reason or another, she failed to make it causing the group to cool their heels the whole morning until flight time to Cebu. Well, preparations in Manila for the March 27 peace agreement signing of course must take precedence. But that’s not good enough reason to miss out on the visitors who by the way always spread the red carpet everytime anyone of us from

Mindanao visits KK. Kota Kinabalu is now prepositioning itself to be the “hub of the Far East” just like Dubai to the Middle east. I can see it’s steadily moving in that direction. It’s good that business cooperation will effectively put back in the backburners the political issues involving Sabah.

GIANTS’ SHOWDOWN -- The world’s giants are in a verbal showdown before the eyes of the world on Russia’s “re-claiming” Crimea from Ukraine. The US and the European Union announced “sanctions” while Russia just sneered. Let’s see who blinks first. We hope however that those skirmishes remain verbal and do not escalate to being physical, otherwise the whole world will be in deep shit!

NO VIOLENCE PLS. -While we all should rejoice the forthcoming signing of the peace agreement with the MILF, let’s not forget that the MNLF agreement of 1996 is still there waiting for convergence. I was speaker during a Rizal Park rally on March 18 to commemorate the famous Jabidah Massacre which triggered the muslim rebellion years ago with Nur Misuari. I asked for unity and a stop to violence.

WORRIED -- I am a bit worried about the MILF agreement timetable of an early plebiscite and early elections.

The MILF is not ready yet to plunge into some political exercise. Kagi Murad and the MILF are not yet prepared politically. They need more time to ripen. They will stand no chance at all if pitted against the savvy and long entrenched politicians. MILF should not ever think that they will get the political positions in the new bangsamoro entity in a silver platter in an open elections. It is also a mistake for the MILF to rely totally on Pres. Aquino to win the public vote. He will be an exiting and lameduck president by then, just like all others. My unsolicited view is that the short preparation for the holding of the plebiscite (2015) and the elections (2016) is a big gamble and the odds are not good. .

They may have succeeded in getting an agreement. But it may not work on the ground as envisioned. If there is still time, that transition period should be further extended. But all is not lost if no changes are made before the March 27 signing.

Congress is still empowered to move the periods when it acts on the proposed organic law to implement the agreement.

There is still a way.

HEALTHY LIVING --I attended the opening of a healthy food exhibition at Abreeza Mall last Saturday called Abreeza Organic Fair 2014 upon invitation by Ms. Baby Montemayor of event organizer “Konkordans”. It’s good to know that many are now so concerned about the food they eat and the health problems that we suffer for putting the wrong food in our mouths. The exhibition will run until March 28. I donned the chef’s apron during the opening and gave support to my daughter Ning’s GREEN AGENDA juice for good health!

with locally elected leaders by mid2016.

“For many years we have been leading the Bangsamoro people’s struggle and our people have gone through a lot of hardships,” MILF vice chairman Ghazali Jaafar told AFP, using a local term for the Philippines’ Muslim minority.

“This agreement is very important to us because this ends the fighting in Mindanao.”

Muslim rebels have been battling since the 1970s for independence or autonomy in the southern region of Mindanao, which they regard as their ancestral homeland.

The conflict has left tens of thousands of people dead while Mindanao has become one of the nation’s poorest and most corrupt areas, with Muslim and Christian warlords ruling over large parts.

The fighting and poverty has also proved to be fertile conditions for Islamic extremism, with the AlQaeda linked Abu Sayyaf group and other hardline militants making remote regions of Mindanao their strongholds.

The MILF, which the military estimates has 10,000 fighters, is easily the biggest Muslim rebel group in Mindanao, and Aquino believes a political settlement is the key to securing a lasting peace.

“It is important, it is historic. It is going to be a major contribution for the peace and development of the entire country,” Aquino’s adviser on the peace process, Teresita Deles, said this week.

Aquino and MILF chairman Murad Ebrahim will oversee the signing of the peace deal during a high-profile ceremony at the presidential palace in Manila attended by about 1,000 people, including Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.

Malaysia has hosted and brokered the peace talks, which began 17 years ago.

The peace deal outlines plans to create a Bangsamoro self-rule area in Mindanao that would cover about 10 percent of territory in the majority Roman Catholic-populated Philippines.

The autonomous region would have its own police force, a regional parliament, and power to levy taxes, while revenues from the region’s vast deposits of natural resources would be split with the national government.

The national government would retain control over defence, foreign policy, currency, and citizenship.

Fragile peace However there are no guarantees the peace deal will be implemented by the middle of 2016, a crucial deadline as that is when Aquino is required by the constitution to end his six-year term.

Aquino needs to convince Congress to pass a “basic law” to create the Bangsamoro autonomous region, ideally by the end of this year to allow time for other steps such as a local plebiscite.

But even though Aquino’s ruling coalition has a loose majority and he still enjoys record-high popularity ratings, there are concerns politicians could reject or water down the proposed law.

Powerful Christian politicians in Mindanao are regarded as potential deal breakers, while others elsewhere may see political advantage in opposing the deal to appeal to some Catholics ahead of the 2016 national elections.

“There is a danger that this could be hijacked by politically savvy and entrenched politicians,” Jesus Dureza, the chief peace negotiator with the MILF from 2001 to 2003, told AFP. Islamic militants opposed to the peace deal are another threat, and could continue to create enduring violence in Mindanao.

Among the potential spoilers is the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, an MILF splinter group of a few hundred militants that has carried out deadly attacks in the south in recent years.

Troops have been placed on high alert in the south, in case militants

seek to distract from Thursday’s peace deal with attacks.

The MILF leadership has committed to working with the government to neutralise the threat of the BIFF. However the MILF will not give up its arms or the identities of its fighters until the basic law has been passed, highlighting the fragility of Thursday’s peace deal.-- Agence France-Presse

Peace... from page 1

27 provinces and 33 cities.

Government troops in Mindanao are on red alert as the communist New People’s Army, which is celebrating its 45th anniversary on March 29, has vowed more offensives against the Aquino administration.

The Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters’ silence is making observers uneasy.

MindaNews saw two armored personnel carriers along the highway of Datu Saudi Ampatuan town in Maguindanao last Monday. More tanks were deployed in the run-up to the signing.

The many factions of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) are waiting on the side. The usually media-savvy Nur Misuari, MNLF founding chair who is facing criminal charges, has not been heard from since the 21-day standoff between government and MNLF forces in Zamboanga City in September. In fact, Misuari neither showed himself nor spoke during that period, his alleged statements mouthed by non-Moro spokespersons based in South Cotabato.

For Muslimen Sema, former secretary general of Misuari and now chair of one of the MNLF factions, told MindaNews “we have nothing to lose and fear.”

The indigenous peoples in the proposed Bangsamoro core territory, who asserted in December that they want to be referred to as “tribal peoples” to maintain their distinct identity as IPs within the Bangsamoro area, are restless over still unresolved issues on ancestral domain.

Just a piece of paper “At the end of the day,” said Amina Rasul, President of the Philippine Council for Islam and Democracy, told MindaNews, “a peace agreement is only a piece of paper. It will be made real by people.”

Rasul said she hopes leaders “have learned from the mistakes committed during the implementation of the 1996 FPA (Final Peace Agreement) and will truly work for the benefit of the Bangsamoro.”

Her fear? That leaders “will manipulate the GPH-MILF agreement for their own interests.”

Sittie Anida Tomawis, an Iranun from Maguindanao who is pursuing a law degree at the Notre Dame University in Cotabato City, told MindaNews at the sidelines of a Youth Conversations on the Bangsamoro forum in Cotabato City on Saturday that she fears “there may be more conflicts that will arise” when the agreement is signed, referring to other armed groups in the area such as the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, a breakaway group from the MILF. The MILF itself broke away from the MNLF in the late 1970s after the 1976 Tripoli Agreement collapsed.

Tomawis is also concerned over the rights of indigenous peoples within the future Bangsamoro and hopes the new political entity won’t end up like the ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) that it is replacing.

Benefit future generations Saidamen Mambayao of C-CARE (Citizens Coalition for ARMM Electoral Reforms) envisions a Bangsamoro that will have a Ministry of Youth Affairs and a seat in the Bangsamoro Assembly so they can participate in the affairs of the new entity which will be a ministerial form of government.

After all, he said, the peace pact is supposed to “benefit future generations.”

But Mambayao fears the agreement will not be implemented “because of spoilers and many other

11

www.businessweekmindanao.com

negative factors.”

Jinggoy Mokudef, a Teduray youth leader, said he hopes the agreement would respect the rights of the IPs like him in the Bangsamoro and that they would be represented in the Assembly.

Jerome Sucor Aba, acting spokesperson of Suara BangsamoroCotabato, maintains that peace must be based on justice and that whatever agreement is signed would bring “totoong autonomy” (genuine autonomy).

Aba led some 50 young Moro men and women in a rally at the Tantawan Park in Cotabato City on March 18, the 46th commemoration of the Jabidah Massacre that led to the organization of the Moro National Liberation Front.

Danger zones Sam Maulana, who represented the Samahan ng Ex-Detainees Laban sa Detensyon at para sa Amnestiya (SELDA) at the rally, told MindaNews that the peace agreement is “a compromise.”

“It can work but I am still very worried about the danger zones ahead,” he said, among them the fact that the Bangsamoro Basic Law drafted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission may be revised by Congress.

He also hopes that those who will be appointed by President Aquino to the Bangsamoro Transition Authority will not end up as puppets of the administration.

But Maulana acknowledges the “sincerity and honesty” of government and how the panels worked to craft the CAB. Kidapawan Bishop Romulo dela Cruz, the Archbishop-elect of Zamboanga, told MindaNews in an interview in his office in Kidapawan City last Sunday that he hopes the CAB “will succeed” but fears other armed groups would emerge and cause trouble.

Dela Cruz, however, hopes for a leadership in the Bangsamoro that would ensure the interests of the people are served.

Fraught with dangerous twists and turns Former GPH peace panel member Irene Santiago (2001 to 2003) said she is “elated, of course, at the signing of the agreement.”

“I am particularly pleased with the strong participation of women toward the end of the negotiations.

But the road ahead is fraught with dangerous twists and turns. The Filipino people must stand together with the Bangsamoro for indeed we are one state but many ‘nationals’ and today we declare this diversity as our treasure and not the source of devastating conflict,” Santiago said.

Caloy Manlupig of Balay Mindanaw in Cagayan de Oro said he hopes to see a “small victory, a simple success story – that will inspire the people that it is possible to achieve harmony, progress and peace in Mindanao.”

His greatest fear is that “mahimong sumpay lang kini sa pila na ka henerasyon nga pagpulipuli lang sa mga mapasagaron, hugaw ug kawatan nga pangagamhanan – i.e. RAG (Regional Autonomus Government), ORC (Office of the Regional Commissioner), ARMM. Pulipuli lang sa pag-abusar, pagpangawat, pagpasagad samtang misamot kalisod ang kinabuhi sa kadaghanan” (this will just be a continuation of the cycle of abusive, dirty and corrupt governance – from RAG , ORC, ARMM. Cycle of abuse, corruption and that would make life more difficult for the majority).

Greater Jihad Gus Miclat, Executive Director of the Initiatives for International Dialogue, hopes that both GPH and MILF “don’t drop the ball, enter into a meaningful and collaborative partnership; do projects, programs show themselves TOGETHER, reach out to and dialogue with groups such as IPs (Indigenous Peoples), MNLF (Moro National Liberation Front), local politicians, Visayas and Luzon peoples, deliver high impact, sustainable and visible projects ASAP.”

Miclat fears that “IPs are cavalierly shunted aside, too much accommodation for local trapos (traditional politicians), both administration and opposition will use this for their respective political agendas, and the masses will not feel the significance.”

Mussolini Lidasan, Executive Director of the Al Qalam Institute at the Ateneo de Davao University, said the signing of the CAB is “the start of the Greater Jihad (struggle), a jihad against one’s inner desires and greed.”

“We pray that the MILF will remain true to their commitment of peace and dialogue among peoples. We pray that the Philippine government will finally address social justice in our homeland,” Lidasan said.

pace,” said the legislator.

Potential FDIs in the region will also help the country as a whole with its energy and power needs.

“Capital from foreign investors will help the Philippines move closer to being energy-independent as it will be used to survey oil and gas deposits in the Liguasan Marsh and the Sulu Sea, among other areas in the Bangsamoro region. FDIs will also give a big boost to the power sector given the recurring power crisis in Mindanao, added Gatchalian.

However, the veteran solon warned against likely leakage of income from these business pursuits in the Bangsamoro region to the capital and the mishandling of revenue collections.

“We should ensure that there is retention of revenue for the Bangsamoro, that the people in the region will be the ones who will benefit from the income from FDIs, not the ones in the National Capital Region. There should be efficient mechanisms that will keep an eye on how taxes are collected and where they are spent. They should be invested in education, health, and infrastructure,” the solon said.

Under the Revenue Generation and Wealth Sharing Annex, all of the income from non-metallic minerals such as sand and gravel should go to the Bangsamoro. For revenues from metallic minerals, there is a 75-25 sharing agreement between the Bangsamoro and the central government, respectively.

For fossil fuels, there is a 50-50 deal between the two.

Gatchalian added that businesses to be set in the Bangsamoro should follow en vi ro nm enta l reg ul ati o ns to guarantee sustainable development.

“Businessmen interested in the region should strictly abide by environmental policies so as not only the present generation of people in Bangsamoro will profit from the expected economic boom but future generations as well.”

He also said there should be assurance that indigenous communities will not be displaced.

“The agreement was forged so there can finally be economic development in the region after years of conflict. This development should first and foremost benefit the Bangsamoro people, their interests should be prioritized over foreign businessmen’s. The peace pact will be worthless if they will be displaced,” Gatchalian concluded.
