Zamboanga slams, Sulu hails Bangsamoro

ZAMBOANGA CITY: Members of the 15-man Bangsamoro Transition Commission headed by Mohagher Iqbal, the chief Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) peace negotiator, held a dialogue on Thursday in Sulu where locals warmly welcomed the group—a far cry from insults they faced in Zamboanga City.

Abdullah Cusain, head of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission’s communication group, told The Manila Times that provincial officials led by Gov. Totoh Tan welcomed them to Sulu, one of five provinces under the Autonomous Region in Muslim Min–danao (ARMM).
