COTABATO CITY \u2014<\/strong> Some of the Bangsamoro Parliament members introduced a bill in the plenary seeking to honor the valor of the Top 90 and Top 300 core members of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).<\/p>\n

The bill, which also seeks to recognize the important contribution of the \u201cyoung brave men\u201d in preserving the safety and well-being of the Bangsamoro people, was filed by Amir Mawallil, Atty.

The Top 90 were composed of the BARMM\u2019s various ethnolinguistic groups that questioned the socio-political landscape in Mindanao and sought to address social injustices against the Bangsamoro people.<\/p>\n

In 1972, the MNLF\u2019s Top 90 core members grew and recruited 300 young Muslims to join the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is strange, however, that until today one cannot find a fitting monument in the BARMM that would serve as a lasting memorial to these courageous men who fought to assert our rights and affirm our distinct historical identity and birthright from those who attempted to subdue it,\u201d the bill\u2019s explanatory read.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The authors said that the BARMM needs a memorial that will be visited and revered by all, particularly by the present and future generations.<\/p>\n

They said that it is right to remember the heroism of the Top 90 and Top 300 core members, given the immense devotion they have displayed repeatedly.<\/p>\n

Every Bangsamoro, the authors noted, should be educated about the lives and heroism of the said brave men to understand the fundamental principles for which they fought\u2014freedom, justice, and autonomy.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe Top 90 and 300 core members, the unsung champions of the Bangsamoro struggle, should be given proper recognition for the bravery they have manifested in continuously fighting for our rights,\u201d the authors said in the explanatory note.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Under the proposed bill, the Bangsamoro Commission for the Preservation of the Cultural Heritage (BCPCH), as the agency responsible for writing the Bangsamoro history and sustaining the BARMM\u2019s cultural institutions and projects, is tasked to produce and publish the official names of the mentioned MNLF.<\/p>\n

The proposed legislation also called for the construction of a regional monument, the organization of relevant activities and materials to the education sector, and the holding of an annual commemoration. (Publication and Media Relations Division)<\/strong><\/p>\n
