A leader of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front has said that he would support Secretary Bong Go once he decides to run for the senate.
Ghazali B. Jaafar, first vice chairman of the MILF Central Committee and chairman of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission hailed Go as “a man of integrity and competence,” being one of the most trusted men of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
“He demonstrated exemplary leadership which is instrumental to the good and harmonious relationship of the Filipino and Bangsamoro in Davao,” he said.
“He deeply understands the problem of the Bangsamoro people and the importance of addressing them to ensure just and dignified peace in Mindanao. He is profoundly aware of what is needed for the attainment of the socio-economic prosperity of the country,” Jaafar added.
As the Special Assistant to the President, Jaafar said Go serves as a facilitator of the BTC’s communications for the Office of the President and other departments and agencies of government.
He said that “all concerns including some sensitive issues confronted by the BTC were clarified and addressed through the able facilitation of Secretary Bong Go.”
“Through his help, we were able to expedite the legislative process of the BBL in both houses of Congress. With the significant contributions of Secretary Bong Go, the BTC leadership believes that he deserves to be endorsed and supported in the coming 2019 senatorial race,” Jaafar said.
“With his new aspiration in public service, we strongly believe that he can contribute more in our shared goal to ensure the success of the future Bangsamoro government and ultimately, achieve lasting peace and prosperity in Mindanao,” he added.
