COTABATO CITY (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): President Marcos paid tribute to the sacrifices of Moro revolutionaries that fuelled their dream of self-governance during his late father’s regime, while calling on new and old Bangsamoro leaders to unite to bring lasting peace to Mindanao.

“We set our feet before this place and herald the trials that you have won through courage, certainty and noble bravery,” Marcos told the inaugural session of the 80-member Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Complex here on Thursday (Sept 15).
