2019/3/14
I would like to express my sincerest condolences on the passing of Honorable Ghazali Jaafar who had served well as the first vice chairman of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, chairman of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission, and Speaker of the Bangsamoro Parliament.
Honorable Jaafar’s distinguished leadership for ceasefire and self-determination of the Bangsamoro that led to the creation of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao is truly his enduring legacy. The efforts he contributed to the drafting, passage and ratification of the Bangsamoro Organic Law are worthy of our lasting admiration. Although we are deeply saddened by his passing, rest assured that his firm commitment to the peace and development of Mindanao will continue to inspire us in supporting the Bangsamoro people.
