He is married with three sons, one adopted daughter, three granddaughters and three daughters-in-law. He finished collegiate degree in Philippine Muslim College (PMC) and postgraduate studies at the Institute of Islamic Studies (IIS), University of the Philippines, Diliman (UPD) in 2007. He is a freedom-conscious strong supporter of Mindanao and world peace. As a firm believer that there is no substitute to peace, he is positively grounded on the belief that peace for all and all for peace has a far-reaching greater chance to create global peace. He has considered the search for Mindanao peace a lifetime sacred task and the active involvement in calling for global peace a golden opportunity in human life. He is truly inspired by the heart-warming comforting words of Pope John Paul II who said: Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peacePeace will be the last word of history. Thus after writing three peace-related books, Bangsamoro Question: Autonomy, Federalism or Independence?, The Bangsamoro Perspective: Search for a Peaceful Mindanao, and Peace for Mindanao War (Post-Truth on Philippines-Bangsamoro War), the author has always been guided by the Quranic commandment: Therefore, do not be fainthearted crying for peace, for you will surely gain the upper hand. Allah is on your side and will never let your deeds be wasted. (47:35)view less
