After the Sunday signing of the wealth-sharing with the MILF, the next on the talks is power sharing and the laying down of arms. These are positive developments that augur well for peace and progress in Mindanao. These two issues will definitely be agreed upon by the government panel and key MILF leaders. It is only a matter of time and we Filipinos are very optimistic. The pace may have slowed but it is going through smoothly and treading the right path.

For sure, critics will come out again but whatever they have to say or insist will not matter or count. The peace deal is long delayed and the hitch met along the way will not be good for these new developments. Early on, any obstacle should be prevented. The 75-25 wealth-sharing is fair enough as this envisioned to help the people in Mindanao. It is only a few months to go before the historic framework signing is remembered.
