00:00Chief Minister Abdul Rao Sami Makakuha, the members of the Bangsamoro government,

00:06BARM local chief executives, fellow workers in government, and our peace partners,

00:11ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. As-salamu alaykum.

00:16First, I extend my congratulations to Chief Minister Makakuha

00:19for hosting this important local government peace and development summit.

00:24The entire government shares the vision of lasting peace and sustainable development across the Bangsamoro region.

00:32The local government units play a critical role in that peace building.

00:36They are the cornerstone in the implementation of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro.

00:42Our LGUs are crucial in ensuring a just and lasting peace for Filipinos.

00:48Our approach in achieving peace is twofold.

00:52First, we are working to enable and strengthen the governing structures of the BARM through its organic law.

00:58Our collaboration has so far paid dividends in institution building.

01:02And I repeat the call to all stakeholders to take part in the building of robust local governments in the Bangsamoro.

01:09Second is normalization and its direct impact on the lives of former combatants,

01:14our communities, and security on the ground.

01:17Normalization ensures human security.

01:20It is a testament to the partnership between the government and the Moro-Islamic Liberation Front

01:25in ensuring that the gains of peace benefit all Filipinos.

01:30We recognize the crucial role of implementing panels and the inter-Cabinet cluster mechanism

01:36on normalization in this endeavor.

01:38We are cognizant that effective normalization requires our full support

01:42and genuine monitoring mechanisms agreed upon by both parties.

01:46To this end, we will continue to ensure a responsive and agile approach in aiding our people,

01:54anchored in full transparency and accountability.

01:58And this brings us to the very heart of this summit, this government-led, LGU-inclusive approach.

02:04This not only highlights the pivotal role of LGUs in peacebuilding,

02:08but also fosters their ownership of normalization and its transformation projects.

02:14It also allows our programs to be more responsive to the situation on the ground.

02:19That said, we are giving LGUs a greater role in the implementation of projects,

02:25not only in the barn, but all across the country.

02:28To date, five provinces have already adopted and launched localized normalization implementation.

02:34This strengthens our belief that peace must be built from the ground up with local leaders as active architects.

02:41Ladies and gentlemen, today's summit is an opportunity to address issues, refine our strategies,

02:49forge stronger partnerships, and to further deepen the commitment of all stakeholders to peace.

02:57I urge everyone to secure that peace in the Bangsa Moro

03:01and to continue to tread the path that has brought us this era of peace and calm.

03:12fueled with a belief in our shared vision of a peaceful and prosperous Bangsa Moro.
