Villar on the MILF-GRP pact

The GRP-MILF Pact on the Bangsa Moro Homeland has become a legal issue now being reviewed by the Supreme Court. There are real constitutional concerns that must be addressed and settled by the High Court which is the most credible institution to rule on questions of law.

We all want peace but not through injudicious and fraudulent means. An unconstitutional memorandum of agreement will only pave way to war not peace.

As we await the settlement of constitutional issues in the peace agreement by the Supreme Court, we call on all our stakeholders to exercise sobriety and calm as we strive to pursue true and lasting peace in Mindanao.

We appeal to all to take the side of public welfare and keep our ordinary citizens out of harm's way as we maintain our optimism in resolving this peace issue eventually.
