00:00 The Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy in Mungkahing

00:04 has ordered the separation of Mindanao from the Philippines

00:06 and has urged the government to implement the Autonomous Region Agreement.

00:11 This is also the sentiment of the Bagsaboro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao

00:15 that has called for the use of the peace process.

00:19 Here is the report.

00:21 Mindanao should not be involved in the fight for politics.

00:28 This is what the Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy President Amina Rasul said

00:33 in response to the former President Rodrigo Duterte's request

00:37 for the secession of Mindanao from the Philippines.

00:40 According to Rasul, the island is not affected by the political situation.

00:46 Many Mindanao residents also asked for the secession.

00:50 Especially that there is an agreement with the government

00:55 that we are not going to fight for independence anymore,

00:58 but we will support autonomy.

01:01 If the Bagsaboro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Chief Minister Ahod Ibrahim

01:07 will be the one to ask,

01:09 he would prefer to have the comprehensive agreement on the Bagsaboro or CAB

01:14 implemented through a democratic way towards self-governance.

01:19 The administration also postponed the process for several years

01:23 until the peace agreement was reached in both sides.

01:28 Part of the integration is the creation of hundreds of members

01:31 of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and Moro National Liberation Front

01:35 under the leadership of the Philippine National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines.

01:39 That is why Chief Minister Ibrahim encouraged the public to protect

01:44 all those involved in the peace process and to maintain peace in the government of Mindanao.

01:50 This is also the sentiment of the BTA or Bagsaboro Transition Authority.

01:56 The decades of hardship due to the armed secessionism in Mindanao has ended.

02:01 The true autonomy that the peace agreement promised in BARMM is now in our hands,

02:06 so it should not be disturbed.

02:09 For Secretary Carlito Galvez, Presidential Advisor on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity,

02:15 there is peace in unity and there is chaos in the presence of the Philippines.

02:21 Mindanao is also against the Constitution if it is to be separated from the Philippines.

02:26 Aside from that, the Bagsaboro is now advocating for a good life

02:30 brought by the peace agreement and they are now part of the nation building.

02:34 The youth party list is asking if the secession will help in the liberation of Mindanao,

02:40 why it was not helped during the time of former President Rodrigo Duterte in Malacanang.

02:46 The problems of Mindanao will not be solved by the Philippines

02:50 due to poverty, armed secession, and the destruction of the environment.

02:56 Just like the People's Initiative Charter Change,

02:58 the cooking of the Mindanao Secession Plan of Rodrigo Duterte is a personal matter.
