SULTAN KUDARAT, Maguindanao – The Moro Islamic Liberation Front’s political party on Saturday declared support for the presidential bid of Vice Presidential Leni Robredo, “friend of the Bangsamoro” who “was there for us… was there for Marawi … makes time for the Bangsamoro” and whose track record “consistently demonstrates strong support to the advocacies of the Bangsamoro.”
Vice President Leni Robredo gets the endorsement of the United Bangsamoro Justice Party, the political party of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, both chaired by Ahod “Al Haj Murad” Ebrahim, on her birthday on Saturday, 23 April 2022 at the MILFs Camp Darapanan in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao. Ebrahim is interim Chief Minister of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

Robredo said she is aware that continuity of support for the peace process by the next President is critical to the success of the extended transition period in BARMM. The transition period has been extended until June 30, 2025. “What I can assure the Bangsamoro people is that a Robredo presidency will be a friend of the Bangsamoro and a champion of the peace process,” she said.
Congress under the Aquino administration adjourned without passing what would have been the enabling law of the 2014 Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro. It was eventually passed under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte. If elected President, Robredo committed to the Bangsamoro people a five-point platform of actions “to complete the implementation of the peace agreement and address the remaining gaps in the Bangsamoro transition period.
“The rehabilitation of poverty-stricken communities and vulnerable sectors will be promptly attended and we will sincerely support the continued operators of the peace mechanisms including those for ceasefire and normalization. We also commit to be faithful to the Implementation of the Annex on Normalization on the matters of the disbandment of private armed groups and the gradual and commensurate redeployment of the Armed Forces of the Philippines,” she said.
On the rehabilitation of Marawi and return of the displaced residents, Robredo said the Marawi Compensation Board must be activated and its members immediately appointed. She also said she will ensure the provision of “adequate funds” in the 2023 General Appropriations Act for the compensation of the victims.
This is the only way, she stressed, for the national government to respond “in the manner that it should.” Tawi-tawi Governor Yshmael Sali, who had earlier pledged support for Marcos-Duterte was not present in the Manila Hotel but his rival in the gubernatorial race, former Governor Sadikul Sahali, who is also for Marcos-Duterte, was there.
Hataman’s brother, Basilan’s lone district representative Mujiv and Mujiv’s wife, Sittie Djalia Turabin-Hataman, the mayor of Isabela City, gathered thousands of supporters for Robredo during a rally in Isabela City on March 16.
