‘Yes’ for peace, ‘No’ to violence – MILFBy MASIDING NOOR YAHYAhome/News/Regions/‘Yes’ for peace, ‘No’ to violence – MILFILIGAN CITY: “Vote ‘Yes’ for peace and ‘No’ to continued violence.” This was the message of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) top commander in a statement urging the people of Lanao del Norte to vote ‘Yes’ on February 6, the second plebiscite for the ratification of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL). On the other hand, the Dimaporo clan in Lanao del Norte is strongly opposed to the inclusion of six towns in Lanao del Norte in the new Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). He expressed his group’s appeal to all voters in Lanao del Norte to vote “Yes” for peace and prosperity and for the future of their children. “We don’t want war,” the MILF commander said. During the Arroyo’s administration, Commander Bravo attacked communities in Lanao del Norte when peace negotiations bogged down.
