Finally, that controversial MOA-AD has been cancelled by the President herself. Fajardo's statements are clear same as the words of the President yesterday that the policy of her administration in dealing with the problem in Mindanao is to shift dialogues from the leaders to the people in the communities.
The peace process is still the main option towards the resolution of the armed conflicts in the southern part of the Philippines. But even with this cancellation and the seeking of a new peace agreement, the criminal leaders of the MILF should be prosecuted and the full force of our laws be applied to them. No matter what threats the highest leaders of the MILF tell the government, the rule of law should still prevail.
