RETIRING ARMED Forces of the Philippines Chief-of-Staff General Carlito G. Galvez Jr. has expressed his interest to become a consultant for the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) to ensure the smooth implementation of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL). “I already conveyed my interest with OPPAP and I told Secretary Dureza that I can be some sort of consultant, so he accepted my request,” said Mr. Galvez during the welcome press conference for Moro International Liberation Front (MILF) chairperson Al-Hajj Murad Ebrahim at Camp Aguinaldo on Monday, Nov. 19. Mr. Galvez, who previously served in Mindanao, said he wants to reach to the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, a breakaway group from the MILF. “We want that, if ever, during the effective implementation of the BOL, maybe we can also reach out with the BIFF so that they can also join hands with us so that we can also have a peaceful life.” – Vince Angelo C.
