The Mindanao Peaceweavers (MPW), together with other weavers of peace, celebrates with the rest of the

nation the impending formal signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB). As our
humble contribution to seeing this through, we offer this following pledge as we enjoin all citizens of the country
and the world to sign on:

A Peacemakers Commitment to the

Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro
I AM A CITIZEN WHO BELIEVES IN PEACE.
Peace that silences the guns, puts food on the table, allows the poorest child to go to school, provides jobs,
gives every woman, indigenous person, elderly, individual with disability a voice and a chance to build and
realize her/his dreams.

I AM A CITIZEN WHO TAKES PRIDE IN MINDANAO.

A Mindanao of diverse cultures and ethnic communities that coexist, respect its peopling and recognize the
indigenous peoples as original custodians; with beauty and abundance shared by those who have tilled and
nurtured the land, rivers and mountains for generations together

I AM A CITIZEN WHO HONORS A RICH HISTORY IN THE STRUGGLE FOR CHANGE.

After 40 years of war and human suffering, and 17 years of negotiating to end the armed conflict in Mindanao
I now understand, respect and embrace what self- determination for the Bangsamoro people means.

I AM A CITIZEN WHO SUPPORTS THE BANGSAMORO PEACE PROCESS.

I celebrate and affirm my vigorous support for the final agreement that has just been sealed. So that finally,
communities shackled by war can rise up from the years of trauma and abject poverty. But the deed is not yet
totally done. The pursuit for peace is a continuing project.

I AM A CITIZEN WHO FULLY COMMITS TO A JUST AND PEACEFUL FUTURE FOR MINDANAO AND
THE PHILIPPINES. I pledge support to a peace process that "listens"; where all voices are heard, respected
and considered; where no one will be left behind.

I TAKE THIS PLEDGE AS A CITIZEN PEACEMAKER : to continue to guard the gains we have achieved and
to remain resolutely vigilant that the implementation of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro
(CAB) realizes the aspirations and rights of the poorest of the Bangsamoro citizenry and other diverse peoples of
the region the indigenous peoples, migrant Christians, and other social groupings.

AND FINALLY, I TAKE THIS OATH AS A BELIEVER OF CHANGE. GIVE PEACE A CHANCE FOR
CHANGE TO HAPPEN IN THE BANGSAMORO AND BEYOND.
Salam, Kalinaw, Paghidaet, Kapayapaan, Peace!!
