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.
