CHRISTOPHER ROLLO
Country Programme Manager, UN-Habitat Philippines
UN-Habitat Philippines stands in solidarity with the Philippine government on the 10th anniversary of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, reaffirming our sustained commitment to contribute in ensuring lasting peace, security and development in BARMM. I personally witnessed the signing of the CAB in Malacañang 10 years ago and since then significant strides have been made. We will build on the development gains as we continue this journey together with government and other stakeholders.
Through our work in post-conflict Marawi on rebuilding homes and providing livelihood opportunities, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of community empowerment and resilience. We will continue to support the BARMM region characterized by inclusivity, economic growth, resilience, and sustainability as we are doing through the Bangsamoro Spatial Development Framework, a development blueprint formulated with and for the Bangsamoro people, with the transformative potential of making a positive impact in communities and people’s lives.
We commit to support collective efforts to foster peace and development in the Bangsamoro region where no one and no place is left behind.
