CSAFP Statement on the passing of Yusop Jikiri

The AFP joins every peace-loving Filipino in mourning the passing away of Yusop Jikiri, the beloved chairman of the Moro National Liberation Front.

His work with the MNLF and in Sulu as one of its former Governors and Congressional Representatives were instrumental in the forging of a strong partnership between the AFP and the MNLF in the quest for peace that culminated in the realization of the GPH-MNLF Peace Agreement.

He is one of the strong pillars who advocated trust and respect as key to achieving lasting peace and development not only in the Province of Sulu but of the Bangsamoro.

Ako, sampu ng bawat miyembro ng Sandatahang Lakas ng Pilipinas, ay nagpupugay sa kanyang napakalaking ambag sa kapayapaan at pagkakaunawaan sa Katimugang bahagi ng ating bansa.

Nawa’y magsilbing halimbawa at inspirasyon sa bawat Pilipino ang kanyang mga simulain at mga nagawa sa pagsusulong ng kapayapaan at kaunlaran sa bansa.
