Knowing the tremendous effort that the OIC had exerted to broker the Peace Agreement with the MNLF in 1996, your visit in Mindanao today could be a moment to celebrate and a time to count the dividends of peace that you have helped broker 10 years ago. But sadly, we have not yet arrived at the situation which the government, MNLF and the OIC collectively envisioned in 1996. After your field visit, you will surely find a lot of problems and challenges that the Bangsamoro communities still face today despite the 1996 Peace Agreement.
