Malacanang remains optimistic that the stalled peace talks between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will resume despite the alleged involvement of MILF renegade members in the recent Cotabato City bombing.
Deputy Presidential Spokesman Lorelei Fajardo said that ending the decades-long hostilities in Mindanao is part of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo?s 10-point legacy agenda.
Although she said the explosion may cause a delay, she expressed confidence that the stalled talks will be completed before the President steps down next year. (PIA)
