MANILA, Philippines – Hindi dapat sisihin ang kasalukuyang administrasyon sa kinahitnan ng usapang pangkapayapaan ng pamahalaan at Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).
Ito ang reaksyon ng Palasyo sa pahayag ni dating Pangulong Fidel Ramos na mali ang ginawang implementasyon ng sumunod na administrasyon sa 1996 MNLF peace deal.
“I’m sure president Ramos knows that we are not the immediate successor to his administration in fact the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement is building on the 1996 peace agreement,” pahayag ni Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda.
Samantala, dumipensa rin ang palasyo sa mga sinasabi ng ilang kritiko na napapabayaan na ni Pangulong Aquino ang pamamalakad sa pamahalaan dahil sa pagtutok sa Zamboanga crisis.
Ani Lacierda, “he is the commander in-chief there is a military option is being exercise right now he gives support he gives direction so he place a big role he inspired the armed forces there, the police and city government.”
Ayon kay pa sa kalihim, tuloy ang pakikipag-ugnayan ni Pangulong Aquino sa mga miyembro ng kaniyang gabinete kahit ito ay nasa Zamboanga.
“He is in touch with the cabinet officials; he is in touch with executive secretary so the business of government runs even he’s in Zamboanga,” saad pa ni Lacierda. (Nel Maribojoc / Ruth Navales, UNTV News)
