"The primordial objectives of the aforementioned event is to convene Bangsamoro Leaders to come up witha unified stand on critical issues confronting the Bangsamoro people in general, and the current peace roadmap of Duterte's administration in particular.

The decades-old Bangsamoro struggle and clamour of Right to Self-Determination (RSD) had been identified as the longest revolution in the world.

The peace summit would somehow help the Bangsamoro outory to genuine and lasting peace and would probably lessen the seemingly endless conflict in the country particularly in Central Mindanao for being the war zone every now and then.

The said activity is formed as part of LBO efforts in support to the Bangsamoro struggle for right to self-determination and quest for peace and they will therefore submit resolution to President rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Since this is an annual event, last year, the Bangsamoro Leaders Peace Summit was also conducted by the same organizations. ( MASHOD IBRAHIM SALIK)
