SULTAN KUDARAT, Maguindanao -- President Benigno Aquino today said he was more convinced the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is sincere in talking peace with the government.The President, speaking as witness to the decommissioning of 75 assorted firearms of the MILF as provided for in the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro his government entered into with the MILF, said he did not gamble in dealing with the MILF. Hindi ko masasabing sumusugal tayo sa pakikipag-usap sa MILF. Tsambahan po ang sugal at wala kang hawak na pruweba sa kapalaran mo (We cannot say we gamble in dealing with the MILF. Gambling is game of chance and we have no guarantee we will win),” Pres. Aquino said. Ito pong ginagawa natin ngayon ay napakatibay na patunay na buo at busilak na pakikiisa ng MILF sa ating usaping pangkapayapaan at sa kanilang kahandaang talikuran ang landas ng hidwaan (What we are doing now is solid proof of the MILF’s sincerity peace and their readiness to turn its back on armed struggle), he added.Pres. Aquino said the MILF as promised is now doing the hard thing in their quest for peace. Mga Boss, kailangan ko pong bigyang-diinand Ang mga kapatid nating Moro ay nangako, at heto ang pruweba ng kanilang katapatan sa ating harapan. Kusang-loob pong inilatag ng ating mga kapatid ang kanilang armas (This is the proof of their sincerity, they voluntarily lay down their arms), he said. Alam nilang nariyan pa rin ang banta ng karahasan mula sa mga private armed groups, pero sa ginawa nilang ito, tila sinasabi nila sa atinand Kapatid, itong pantanggol namin sa sarili namin, di na namin kailangan. Buong pagtitiwala naming ipinapaubaya sa inyo ang aming kaligtasan. Kapatid, itong armas, puwede na naming ibaba dahil naniniwala kaming kasama namin kayo sa kagustuhan naming baguhin ang lipunan at buhay namin (The knew pretty well the threat of other armed groups remain as if they are telling usand 'Brother, we no longer need instruments to defend ourselves. We have entrusted on you our security. Brother, we lay down our guns because we believe we are partners in our desire to transform our society and ourselves'),” the President said. Ginagawa nga nila ito kahit nakabitin pa ang Bangsamoro Basic Law, at mangyayari pa lang ang Bangsamoro Transition Authority (They did it although there is uncertainty on the passage of the BBL and the creation of Bangsamoro Transition Authority), he added.To the lawmakers who remain pessimistic in the draft BBL, Aquino saidand Sa inyo na bumabalangkas ng batas, at sa mga boboto kinalaunan sa plebisito kaugnay ng BBLand Alalahanin n’yo ang araw na ito. Tayong nagpabaya sa kanila, tayong nagmungkahi ng mga maling solusyon, tayo na hindi naging masigasig sa pagprotesta at pagpigil sa pang-aabuso sa kanila, aagawin ba natin sa kanila ang pagkakataong mabuhay nang may dignidad at matiwasay? Panghahawakan ba natin ang mga takot na wala namang basehan? Gusto ba talaga nating magbalik sa mga nasubukan nang solusyon pero di naman gumana at nanganak lang ng mas maraming hidwaan, at nagpalalim lang sa sugat ng kawalang-tiwala (Remember this day, we who abandon them, we who suggest incorrect solution, we who did notoppose social injustices, do we deny them the opportunity to live with dignity. Do we need to be overcome by our fears which are baseless? Do we want to use the same failed strategy that begets more problems and deepen the wounds of distrust?), he said.Di po natin maitatanggiand May utang tayo sa mga kapatid natin sa Bangsamoro. May pagkakataon tayo ngayon upang itama ang naratibo ng pagdurusang sama-sama nating kinaharap. Panahon na po natin ito. Ito ang ipinaglaban ng mga nasawi nating kababayan. Ipakita natin sa mga nag-alay ng kanilang buhay, sa ating mga kababayan, at sa buong mundoand Magkakaiba man ang ating pinanggalingan at paniniwala, dahil pinagbubuklod tayo ng tiwala at pagmamalasakit sa isa’t isa, walang hamong hindi natin kayang lampasan bilang isang bansa.After his speech, Aquino and cabinet members along with Cotabato Archbishop Orlando Cardinal Quevedo, MILF chief Al Haj Murad and Interior and Local Government Sec. Mar Roxas viewed andinspected the decommissioned guns.
