Position Paper For Senate 18 May 2015 Hearing 0

POSITION PAPER OF THE GPH PEACE PANEL
Submitted to the Senate Committee on Local Government

18 May 2015
Preliminary
The Government Peace Negotiating Panel (GPH Peace Panel) for talks with the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) respectfully submits the following position paper to the Senate
Committee on Local Government headed by the Honorable Senator Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
containing some clarifications on important issues that have been raised during the last two
public hearings on Senate Bill no. 2408 or the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), especially as
they relate with the subject of today's hearing with the representatives and supporters of the
Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), as well as for the coming hearing with the Sultanates,
the Indigenous Peoples (IPs), and the local government executives.
At the outset, we wish to affirm and reiterate our unwavering commitment in supporting the
legislative process for the enactment of the BBL. We are one with our honorable Senators in
advocating for the passage of a Basic Law for the Bangsamoro that is just, comprehensive and
truly responsive to the needs of the peace and development in Muslim Mindanao. Thus, we laud
and sincerely appreciate the vigorous and dynamic efforts of the Senate in holding public
hearings and consultations with the various stakeholders.
On the Matter of Public Consultations
Like the Senate, we in the GPH Panel also believe that wide-based and meaningful consultations
with various stakeholders constitute a significant foundation to sound public policy. It is, as it
has always been our practice, consistent with the memorandum of instructions to us of His
Excellency President Benigno Simeon Aquino III, to listen to and take heed from the widest
possible constituency of concerned groups and individuals when it comes to the Bangsamoro
proposal, in particular, and the larger peace process, in general.
As far back as the early stages of the peace negotiations with the MILF under the present
administration up until the signing of the last document that culminated in the forging of the
Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB), and later, during the drafting of the BBL,
the GPH Panel has consistently conducted or participated in extensive consultation activities
with various individuals and groups from both within and without the prospective Bangsamoro
territory. The records, which we are providing the honorable Senate Committee thru this
position paper, will bear this fact out.
While it is truly unfortunate that some groups and individuals feel that they have not been
consulted, we would like to submit to the Honorable Senate Committee the fact that, from 2010
until 17 May 2015, the GPH Peace Panel has conducted or participated in a total of five hundred
fifty three (553) consultation activities (e.g. meetings, workshops, fora, and briefings) in order
to shed light on the developments in the peace process with the MILF as well as to share and
gather information, positions, and insights from the various stakeholders.
Significantly, out of these 553 consultation activities, the GPH Panel has met ten (10) times on
different occasions with representatives and supporters of the Moro National Liberation Front
(MNLF) (see Table I), six (6) times with the Sultanates in Mindanao (see Table II), thirty two (32)
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 consultation
efforts 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 in
harmony 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 with
MNLF 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 Cooperations (OIC) efforts to
unite the ranks of the MNLF and the MILF in their search for a political settlement with the
Philippine 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 Muslim
Communities 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 the
28th GPH-MILF Formal Exploratory Talks in May 2012, where OICPSCP representative Ali
Demirci, political officer of the office of OIC Sec. Gen. hsanolu sat as observer. In the 39th and
40th 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 the
Agreement 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 of
September 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 up
to 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 Bangsamoro
people 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 harmonizing
the Mindanao Peace Processes and the agreements they signed separately with the GPH.
Substantive Provisions of the BBL affecting the MNLF, the Sultanates and the IPs
The desire to make the Bangsamoro proposal as inclusive as possible for the various affected
stakeholders extends beyond the process of consulting with them and soliciting their inputs.
The results of the many engagements and interactions with them have since found their way
into the substance of the proposed BBL.
Relative to the concern on the access to seats of political power in the prospective Bangsamoro
regional government, for instance, the proposal contained in the draft BBL in Article VII, Section
5 thereof on party seats in the Bangsamoro Parliament to be filled by proportional
representation as well as the system of reserved seats are deemed significant entry points for
the MNLF, the Sultanates and the IPs, among others, to directly participate in the governance
and administration of the autonomous region. These special stakeholder groups may organize
themselves into regional political parties and vie for seats as Members of Parliament in the
Bangsamoro. Parenthetically, the non-Moro IPs within the territory of the Bangsamoro can also
field candidates for the parliamentary seats reserved for them under the proposed law. All of
these special mechanisms for winning seats in the Bangsamoro Parliament shall be without
prejudice still to the special stakeholders participating in the district seats contest in the same
Bangsamoro Parliament. Clearly, the BBL offers a wide range of opportunities and openings for
the special stakeholder groups such as the MNLF, Sultanates and the IPs to have a real and
meaningful access to political power in the autonomous regional government.
Thru the Council of Leaders a body that shall serve as the advisors of the Chief Minister on
matters of governance there is yet another opening for these special stakeholder groups to be
involved in the governance of the autonomous region since the bill mandates, in Article VI,
Section 5 thereof, that representatives of other sectors must be included in its composition. To
be sure, the important sectors of the MNLF, the Sultanates and the IPs have to be considered in
the membership of the Council when the Bangsamoro Parliament enacts the relevant
implementing legislation for the operationalization of the Council of Leaders.
For the Sultanates, additionally, the draft BBL in Article IX, Section 19 provides for the
establishment of a Bangsamoro commission for the preservation of the history, culture, arts,
tradition and rich cultural heritage of the Sultanates. This is in full recognition of the vast role,
influence and contributions of the various Sultanates in the Bangsamoro. Significantly,
moreover, the BBL in Article X, Section 26 on the Bangsamoro Justice System also puts primacy
on the institutionalization of traditional systems of dispute resolution in connection with the
mandate therein for the Bangsamoro to evolve a system of Alternate Disposition Resolution
(ADR). The traditional roles of the Sultanates in dispute resolution by way of conciliation or
mediation would surely figure prominently in the ADR system that the Bangsamoro Parliament
shall enact.
Further to the policy of convergence with the MNLF, on the other hand, the provisions of the
draft BBL have also incorporated the so-called 42 Consensus Points of the GPH-MNLF-OIC
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 GPHMNLF-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 more
secure 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
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 TawiTawi (52%) are in favor of the passage of the BBL with only 12% in Basilan and 22% in TawiTawi 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 that
claims 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 necessary
measure 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 the
Bangsamoro (see Figure II). In these areas, only 15% in Sulu, 10% in Basilan and 7% in TawiTawi do not approve of the proposed dissolution of the ARMM. Meanwhile, mainland areas of
the 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).

Filipino Public Opinion on
Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL)
and the Mamasapano Incident
FIGURE III.
43
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 the
most hopeful and Sulu fairly hopeful (see figure IV) it can be noted that only a slim margin
claim 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 overwhelmingly
negative perception towards the ability of the proposed Bangsamoro to be an avenue for lasting
peace 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 Central
Mindanao 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 of
the 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 to
the 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 be
equally 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 of
the peace and development in Muslim Mindanao will be passed by the Senate.
