Vice President Jejomar Binay urged everyone to support the peace talks between the government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front group.
“For decades,
the secessionist conflict has taken its toll on the people of Mindanao,” said Vice President Binay in a statement upon his arrival from Sweden on Sunday. “It is a conflict that has taken innocent lives, both Muslims and Christians, and deprived the people of Mindanao their share of economic prosperity,” he added. VP Binay is also happy to hear that the MILF is dropping its goal of having an independent Moro State. “I am of the conviction that such negotiations will lead to the recognition of the just aspirations of our Moro brothers, and the sharing of Mindanao's bounty under a regime of peace, unity and brotherhood,” he said.
