FORMER Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri is optimistic that the framework agreement between the National Government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will bring peace to Mindanao.
The chief peace negotiators of the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) signed recently the framework agreement.
The chief negotiators of both sides, Marvic Leonen and Mohagher Iqbal, signed the peace pact in the presence of President Benigno Aquino III, MILF Chairman Al Haj Murad, and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak.
Zubiri said, if he is able to return to the Senate, he will help in the legislation process for the implementation of the said framework agreement.
He said he is convinced the MILF leaders are sincere in the realization of the framework agreement, as gleaned in their interest in pushing for the realization of peace in Mindanao. (Teresa D. Ellera)
