Basulta governors call for continued support for peace process

By Rene V. Carbayas

ISABELA CITY, Basilan, Jan 7 (PIA) - - Governors of the provinces of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi have called for support to the on-going peace process of the government with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

In a press statement, OIC Sulu Provincial Information Officer Sonny Y. Abing III said the governors held a conference last December 2012 at the Governor's residence in Maimbung, Sulu where they declared a common stand on the peace process. They said participation of the citizenry and all stakeholders is crucial as results of the peace process will affect future generations.

Among those present were Basilan Gov. Jum J. Akbar, Sulu Gov. Abdusakur Tan and Tawi-Tawi Gov. Sadikul Sahali.

Tan said people in ARMM must be involved in the process because “we know our area more than anybody.” Tan added that peace is very temporary, “kailangan natin ng suporta ng lahat, we want a meaningful and lasting peace.”

“Kaming mga governors ng ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) ay nagkakaisa, all for one, one for all kami kahit anong mangyari (The governors of ARMM will always be united),” Tan said.  (ALT/RVC/Sulu-PIO/PIA9-ZBST)
