MATI CITY, Davao Oriental- Business leaders in yesterday's Asenso at Negosyo Sa Turismo forum held in Mati City were urged to make a voice after the Basilan encounter that killed nine soldiers. | |||
Quezon Province Representative Lorenzo R. Tanada III, who was the guest speaker in the forum, asked business leaders to make a stand on how they would want the government to move and forward peace efforts for Mindanao. | |||
"There had been clamor for an all-out war against the MILF but we know that it wouldn't be that easy. Businessmen would definitely be one of the most affected sector if we push for an all-out war,” he said. | |||
Tanada has been roaming around the country specifically Mindanao to get the pulse of the people, on what they need and how they would want the government to do after the Basilan incident. | |||
"The President finds it high time to ask the different stakeholders in Mindanao to make a stand. Instead of becoming too emotional, we should be sober and calm to come up with a right analysis,", he added. | |||
The representative said the president decided on a two-pronged approach to get that all-out justice. First is by way of a calculated and targeted enforcement of the law against those who have violated and those responsible for the death of the soldiers. Second, Pres. Aquino would still want to continue talking for peace with the MILF. | |||
"This way the government could also test the sincerity of the MILF in discrediting their rogue elements and in respecting the agreement with the Philippine Government,” he said. | |||
Tanada who is also the party spokesperson was invited by the City of Mati in its celebration of Sambuokan 2011 and the 108th Foundation Anniversary of the said city. | |||
