White Paper on the MILF Peace Talks; Implications on Constitutional Reform

The paper entitled Comments on the GRP-MILF Peace Process opines that the MOA-AD is constitutional. Nonetheless, it strongly disagrees with its wisdom.

Part I seeks to analyze the rational, purpose, implications and constitutionality of the scrapped GRP-MILF Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD).

Part II identifies the fundamental flaws of the agreement and the underlying negotiation process, and recommends appropriate pre-emptive and corrective measures for any revival of the failed process.

Part III proposes bold alternative consensus points, guided by the standard of the common good of all the people concerned.

Among other reforms, the paper proposes or implies constitutional amendments for the: (1) establishment of regional governments based on culture and geography rather than religion; (2) grant of titles of royalty to the southern sultanates; and (3) liberalization of foreign investments.
