MANILA, Philippines—Malacañang on Sunday is looking forward to an official peace agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, saying that the accord could boost democracy in Mindanao after generations of unrest with armed insurgents.
Secretary Herminio Coloma of the Presidential Communications Operations Office said in a radio interview that the government and the MILF are hopeful that an agreement would be reached to end the conflict in Mindanao.
“It could be the final round of talks between the government and the MILF,” Coloma said.
The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process said last December that the MILF and the group would finalize the remaining Annex on Normalization and the addendum on the Bangsamoro waters.
It said that the Normalization Annex would solidify the vision for a post-conflict Bangsamoro.
