in the Mindanao region, the Philippines must remain united and undivided PBA Secession is not the answer to Mindanao’s concerns, Abalos said PBA “It would violate the fundamental tenets of our

separate Mindanao from the Republic of the Philippines PBA Duterte said that secession is not a rebellion nor a sedition as it will take a legal process PBA “Kasi ilang presidente na eh, walang

firm as they expressed opposition to Duterte’s call PBA Maguindanao del Sur Governor Bai Mariam Sangki Mangudadatu said that Mindanao secession will deny the Constitutional rights of their people and will compromise government’s efforts to build a stronger Philippines PBA She maintained that separation of Mindanao is not the answer to the problem in the region PBA “Mindanao is a mirror of diversity, progress, and preserving peace PBA Unity leads to peace, development, and prosperity PBA Contrary to instability, underdevelopment, and disorder,” she said PBA “We affirm that secession is not the answer to Mindanao’s concern PBA It denies our people the rights embodied by the constitution, including the destruction of our territorial integrity compromising our efforts to build a stronger nation,” she added PBA Sultan Kudarat Governor Datu Pax Ali Mangudadatu also affirmed his commitment to democracy, inclusivity and justice as he called for unity and one united Philippines PBA He said that separating Mindanao from the rest of the Philippines will bring disruption of productivity in all of its three regions PBA “Mindanao’s concerns should be resolved without pursuing secession PBA Such division would infringe the fundamental doctrines of our Constitution PBA It would disrupt the interconnected productivity of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao that has long sustained our national economy, and risk fracturing the foundation of our unity and national stability,” he said PBA “In the spirit of unity, let us reaffirm our commitment to the principles of democracy, inclusivity, and justice PBA We must move forward stronger as one undivided nation under a collective objective of stability and progress,” he added PBA The governors of the Bangsamoro region for
