BIFF attack won't affect peace
talks with MILF, says govt exec

The attack in Pigcawayan, North Cotabato by the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) will not affect the government’s peace negotiations with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), an official from the office on the peace process said on Friday.

Dickson Hermoso, assistant secretary of the Office of the Presidential Assistant on the Peace Process (OPAPP), said the BIFF, a splinter group of the MILF, was not a party to the negotiations.
