BULUAN, Maguindanao — President Rodrigo Duterte reiterated his desire to reach out to Moro leaders who campaigned against the new law that would give their former colleagues full expanded autonomy in Mindanao. At the distribution of certificates of land ownership for farmers here, President Rodrigo Duterte specifically mentioned Nur Misuari, the founder of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), who publicly opposed the Bangsamoro Organic Law. ADVERTISEMENT“If I can get Nur…If we will have a talk and I can win him, we will be peaceful,” Duterte said. After Duterte came to power in 2016, the court suspended his arrest warrant on rebellion charges on orders from the President, whom he considers a personal friend. /eeRELATED STORY:Duterte tells Nur Misuari: ‘We’re old, let’s talk’Read NextLATEST STORIESMOST READ
