MANILA: The Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (Milf), the largest Muslim rebel group in the country, again failed to sign the three annexes of the framework agreement on the Bangsamoro as they concluded the 37th round of talks in Malaysia yesterday.
The government and the Milf peace panels “continued to find ways to resolve remaining issues” on the annexes on wealth-sharing, power-sharing and normalization, said a joint statement signed by government peace panel head Miriam Coronel-Ferrer and her counterpart, Mohagher Iqbal.
The two panels instead agreed to exchange notes on the three annexes of the framework agreement through the Malaysian facilitator, the statement added.
“They affirmed their commitment to finally settle these issues soon so that all three annexes may be signed without undue delay,” it said. Both parties agreed to meet after May’s midterm elections.
