    times with the IPs (see Table III), and one hundred (100) times with leaders and officials of local

    government units (LGUs) (see Table IV). In all of these engagements and interactions with the

    different affected stakeholders, the GPH Peace Panel has taken into consideration their positions,insights and suggestions relative to our peace efforts with the MILF.

    Convergence of MNLF and MILF Peace Process

    With respect to the concerns of the MNLF, in particular, the above data on our consultationefforts with them also illustrates how, under the Aquino administration, it has been our policy

    to exert all possible efforts to ensure that the substance of the negotiations with the MILF is inharmony and convergence with the full implementation of the 1996 Final Peace Agreement with

    the MNLF. In view of this policy, several meetings and “convergence workshops” were held withMNLF cadres in 2011. These workshops aimed to inform representatives from the MNLF about

    substantial developments in the talks with the MILF and to solicit their inputs thereto as well.

    This convergence is also in line with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’s  (OIC) efforts to

    unite the ranks of the MNLF and the MILF in their search for a political settlement with thePhilippine Government. It will be recalled that during the 37th  Session of the OIC Council of

    Foreign Ministers (CFM) in December 2010, the OIC adopted a resolution on MuslimCommunities and Minorities in Non-OIC Member States urging the MNLF and MILF to unite

    their efforts for peace and development in the Bangsamoro. The Office of the Presidential

    Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) is in full support of this call.

    Parenthetically, the inclusion of the OIC in the MILF peace process by way of being formally

    invited as observers in the GPH-MILF peace negotiations in March 2012 is in no small part due

    to their role in the MNLF peace process and in keeping with the desire for convergence between

    the two peace tracks. The OIC has since been consistently invited by the Malaysian Facilitator to

    attend the GPH-MILF talks in Kuala Lumpur. The OIC first attended the negotiations during the28th  GPH-MILF Formal Exploratory Talks in May 2012, where OIC–PSCP representative AliDemirci, political officer of the office of OIC Sec. Gen. İhsanoğlu sat as observer. In the 39th and40th  Sessions of the OIC CFM, held in November 2012 and December 2013, respectively, the

    peace efforts between the GPH and the MILF were welcomed, expressing the hope that theAgreement between the two parties would be in line with the 1976 Tripoli Agreement.

    Unfortunately, the efforts towards convergence of the MNLF and MILF peace tracks has been

    admittedly strained by the Sabah standoff of February 2013 and the Zamboanga City crisis ofSeptember 2013. Be that as it may, the OPAPP has remained in close cooperation with the OIC,

    the MNLF and the MILF in furtherance of the desire for convergence. The same remains true upto the present.

    On 15 October 2014, the Bangsamoro Coordination Forum (BCF) was activated, as agreed upon

    during the meeting of the chairpersons of the MNLF and MILF and the OIC Secretary General.The BCF, as stated in its meeting report, shall serve as the mechanism for the MNLF and the

    MILF to “coordinate their movements toward achieving the aspiration of the Bangsamoropeople towards just and lasting peace, and peaceful resolution of their problems.” In April 2015,OIC Secretary General Iyad Ameen Madani visited the Philippines and met leaders of the MNLF

    and the MILF to jointly discuss through the BCF on how to best move forward in harmonizingthe Mindanao Peace Processes and the agreements they signed separately with the GPH.

    Tripartite Implementation Review of the 1996 Final Peace Agreement. These consensus points

    are spread along five (5) themes, namely: (1) on Shari'ah and Judiciary; (2) on Special Regional

    Security Force and Unified Command in the Autonomous Region; (3) on Education; (4) on

    Natural Resources and Economic Development; and (5) on Political System and Right of

    Representation. All of these have been considered in the parallel subjects of the draft BBL,

    particularly in Articles VI, VII, IX, X, XI, XII and XIII thereof. In this manner, it is hoped the

    proposed BBL can become an effective vehicle for the convergence of the MNLF and MILF peace

    tracks. We wish only to underscore that the impetus for the inclusion of the product of the GPH-

    MNLF-OIC Tripartite Implementation Review in the draft BBL was a product of the

    consultations with the MNLF representatives and members as well as of other stakeholders.

    As for the IPs, finally, we find that the various sections of the draft BBL amply provides for

    recognition, protection and promotion of IP rights and interests in the Bangsamoro. Drawing

    from the existing corpus of IP rights that are articulated in domestic and international legal

    sources such as Republic Act no. 8371 or the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1997 (IPRA),International Labor Organization (ILO) Convention 169, and the United Nations Declaration on

    the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN-DRIP), the draft BBL provides for the base or minimum

    substantive protections and guarantees of IP rights and interests from which the future

    Bangsamoro Parliament, in crafting its own indigenous peoples rights law, cannot diminish or

    subtract. Although the full application of the IPRA  per se  is not expressly provided in the draft

    law, the “bundle of rights” that are set forth therein have since been disaggregated and

    integrated into the proposed BBL as follows:

      Right to Ancestral Domains and Ancestral Lands (e.g. Article V, Section 4 [d]; Article IX,

    Section 5);

      Right to Self-Governance and Empowerment (e.g. Article VII, Sections 5-6; Article IX,

    Section 5; Article X, Sections 23-24; Article XII, Section 34; Article XIII, Section 12);

      Right to Social Justice and Human Rights (e.g. Article IX, Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, & 8); and

      Right to Cultural Integrity (e.g. Article IX, Sections 5 & 19-21), among others.

    These provisions of the draft BBL illustrate the clear and manifest intent of the proposed law to

    lean heavily in favor of recognizing, protecting and promoting the interests and rights of the IPs

    in the prospective Bangsamoro territory. Importantly, there is nothing in the draft law that

    professes to derogate from nor otherwise diminish the existing rights of the IPs. While a moresecure language in the text of the draft BBL could be introduced in order to carry this intent

    through or to further enhance its import, it has never been the case that the proposed

    Bangsamoro law endeavored to gloss over or weaken the existing rights of IPs, contrary to what

    has been claimed by some during the public hearings.

    Support to the BBL: SWS Survey Results

    Amidst claims that there is no support to the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) in the

    island provinces, the results of the Special Mindanao Survey conducted by the Social Weather

  • 8/9/2019 Position Paper for Senate 18 May 2015 Hearing

    5/35

    5

    Stations (SWS) in February 20151 demonstrate that there is indeed significant support for the

    approval of the proposed bill. Based on the survey, more than half in Basilan (59%) and Tawi-

    Tawi (52%) are in favor of the passage of the BBL with only 12% in Basilan and 22% in Tawi-Tawi opposing it (see Figure I). In Sulu, 31% said that they approve the bill while only 14%

    claimed that they do not support it. In Isabela City, 38% said they support the bill versus 20%

    who said they oppose it.

    FIGURE I. 

    While there is a significant margin of undecided constituents, the results demonstrate thatclaims of widespread or homogenous disapproval of the BBL may have little empirical basis.

    What the survey results show is a significant number of Filipinos in the core areas both in

    mainland areas and the island provinces who consider the passage of the bill as a necessarymeasure to bring in peace and development to conflict-affected Muslim Mindanao.

    The results highlight that majority in Sulu (59%), Basilan (70%) and Tawi-Tawi (80%) agree

    with the proposed replacement of the ARMM with an expanded autonomous area called theBangsamoro (see Figure II). In these areas, only 15% in Sulu, 10% in Basilan and 7% in Tawi-

    Tawi do not approve of the proposed dissolution of the ARMM. Meanwhile, mainland areas ofthe core territory consistently show high public support to the establishment of the

    Bangsamoro. Based in the survey results, 8 out of 10 in these areas in Central Mindanao agree

    with the replacement of the ARMM by the proposed Bangsamoro (see Figure III).

    1 The results of the survey, “Filipino Public Opinion on the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) and the Mamasapano

    Incident,” were presented in Balay Kalinaw, University of the Philippines Diliman on 15 May 2015.

    Although hope that the proposed Bangsamoro will bring peace and development ranges from

    slightly to extremely positive in the core territories –  with areas in Central Mindanao as themost hopeful and Sulu fairly hopeful (see figure IV) –  it can be noted that only a slim marginclaim that they are not hopeful at all that the creation of the Bangsamoro will lead to peace and

    development in the area. It is significant to highlight that there is indeed no overwhelminglynegative perception towards the ability of the proposed Bangsamoro to be an avenue for lastingpeace and development in Muslim Mindanao.

    FIGURE IV.

    These figures further accentuate with how majority of the constituents in the core areas in

    Central Mindanao and BASULTA perceive that pursuing the peace talks between the

    Government and the MILF despite the Mamasapano incident is indeed beneficial. In CentralMindanao and BASULTA, generally 9 out 10 say that there is benefit from continuing the peace

    talks with the MILF (see Figure V). Among these areas, mainland areas are extremely positive

    that the peace talks with the MILF will benefit the Filipinos while BASULTA areas feel that it

    would only be moderately beneficial.

    FIGURE V.

    Indeed, it cannot be denied that the Mamasapano incident has greatly affected the general

    perception on the peace process with the MILF, leaving only a fifth of Filipinos still supportive ofthe BBL as of February 2015. However, this sentiment as observed in the survey results is

    clearly not equally shared in core areas in Central Mindanao and BASULTA, where support tothe BBL still remain net positive. Residents in the core territories also remain highly optimistic

    that Congress can pass the proposed bill despite the Mamasapano incident.

    The passage of the proposed BBL and the eventual establishment of the Bangsamoro should be

    subject to the consent of the governed. The BBL as a legislative measure is seen as part of the

    whole democratic process, the sentiments of the constituents in the core areas should beequally accorded attention as part and parcel of the democratically governed body politic. The

    BBL gives life to the spirit in which social justice and autonomy are provided for in the

    Constitution. Thus, we sincerely hope that a BBL that is just and truly responsive to the needs ofthe peace and development in Muslim Mindanao will be passed by the Senate.
