CAMP DARAPANAN (18 Jumada Al-Akhirah 1447 AH/ 9 December 2025) — Moro Islamic Liberation Front Central Committee (M**F-CC) Chairman, and United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP) President Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, served as the Keynote Speaker during the launching of the Transitional Justice and Reconciliation (TJR) Roadmap, held at the M**F-CC Gymnasium in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao del Norte.

“Today, we gather at a historic juncture—the launch of the Transitional Justice and Reconciliation Roadmap for the GPH–M**F Peace Process. This moment is truly a milestone that brings optimism and hope, and shows our profound commitment to healing, justice, and lasting peace for the peoples of the Bangsamoro region”, Chairman said in his speech.

“Reconciliation is not an event but a process—one that requires patience, empathy, and the courageous willingness to stand in one another’s shoes. Our collective challenge is to transform narratives of conflict into stories of shared hope and mutual respect. This roadmap charts a course to do just that, creating safe spaces where former adversaries can come together to share, listen, and build new relationships grounded in understanding”, he added.

Chairman Murad also emphasized that although the Normalization Annex of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) mandates the Transitional Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) to investigate historical injustices and recommend solutions, its report remains largely unimplemented seven years later, leaving transitional justice challenges unresolved, yet, despite decades of conflict and suffering, the Bangsamoro continue to show resilience, and the newly launched roadmap underscores that true peace requires confronting past wounds and strengthening unity among communities.

He further stressed that while the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) Parliament’s efforts to establish a TJRC are welcome, the National Government, through Congress, is best positioned to institutionalize transitional justice nationwide, and he urged legislators to show the nation’s commitment and resolve by passing the law to create a National TJRC.

The event was led by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity (OPAPRU), marks a major step in addressing the Bangsamoro’s historical injustices through the TJR Roadmap, promoting truth-telling, accountability, reparations, and reforms for lasting, community-driven peace, and reconciliation.

READ I Official Statement on BARMM Parliamentary Election of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (M**F) welcomes the Commission on Elections (COMELEC)'s issuance of Resolution No. 11181 scheduling the calendar of activities in anticipation of the first ever Parliamentary Election in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) on 30 March 2026, pursuant to the directive of the Supreme Court in Ali, et al v. Bangsamoro Transition Authority Parliament, et al. (G.R. No. E-02219) and Macapaar, et al v. Commission on Elections and Bangsamoro Transition Authority (G.R. Nos. E-02235). This move shows good will and accountability on the part the COMELEC in upholding the integrity of the electoral process in the BARMM, which is critical for the consolidation of peace and autonomy in the region.

However, existing laws and jurisprudence, including the aforecited cases, categorically prohibit, mandatorily and without exceptions, the alteration of any territory comprising an election precinct, or the creation of new precincts 120 days before election day. Hence, it is legally impossible to realize the election by 30 March 2026.

We strongly urge the Bangsamoro Transition Authority Parliament to immediately pass a sound, fair, and constitutionally compliant districting law without delay. Timely action will demonstrate a commitment to the welfare of the Bangsamoro constituents and to building a more unified and empowered society. This will likewise send a convincing signal to the Houses of Congress to enact a law setting the date of the 1st Parliamentary Election in the BARMM at the earliest possible time, and hopefully, still within 2026.

The M**F stands ready to cooperate with the COMELEC, the BARMM Government, and all stakeholders, aiming for a successful parliamentary election in 2026 that reflects the will of the Bangsamoro people. We manifest our relentless support in facilitating democratic governance in the BARMM, strengthening institutions, and reinforcing the rule of law in the region.

Magtulungan tayong lahat na maisakatuparan na ang eleksyon sa BARMM sa 2026.

Maraming Salamat. Shukran.
