Galvez returns as presidential peace adviser
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reappointed former AFP chief Carlito Galvez Jr. as presidential peace adviser after being renamed senior undersecretary of the Department of National Defense. In a statement Saturday, Galvez said Marcos reinstated him as the secretary of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity to help in pushing forward the Bangsamoro peace process because “this is where his heart is.” Galvez was previously appointed as OPAPRU secretary by former President Rodrigo Duterte in December 2018. In January this year, Marcos swore in Galvez as the DND officer-in-charge and later led several activities related to the defense sector. Galvez said he is determined to help the administration “unleash the full economic potential” of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Earlier this weekend, Galvez joined Special Assistant to the President, Secretary Antonio Ernesto Lagdameo Jr. in visiting the BARMM office in Cotabato City to assess the progress and development of peace initiatives in the region. Lagdameo and Galvez also met separately with BARMM Interim Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Embrahim, Minister of Basic, Higher and Technical Education Mohagher Iqbal, and other BARMM officials, to discuss possible areas of cooperation between the national and Bangsamoro government, particularly on initiatives that aim to boost the region’s standing as a commercial and trading center in Mindanao as well as maintaining peace and security situation in the region. Lagdameo is currently the co-chairperson of the Inter-Cabinet Cluster Mechanism on Normalization, the body mandated to coordinate and mobilize national government agencies in the implementation of the Normalization Program for Moro Islamic Liberation Front combatants, their families, and communities. Galvez said there’s remarkable economic progress taking place in the BARMM region. Hence, he recommended the revival of what he described as “sea-lane of commerce” in the South. The president’s peace adviser was referring to the development of a coastal area that stretches from Malabang to the Polloc Port, and further down south to the island provinces of Sulu, Basilan and Tawi-Tawi. Galvez cited BARMM as the biggest contributor to the country’s fish industry, followed by the Zamboanga Peninsula (Region 9) and Soccsksargen (Region 12), respectively. The economic activities within the Maguindanao del Norte and BARMM’s Island provinces are expected to increase after the BARMM’s Ministry of Transportation approved Roll On/Roll Off operations in April this year.
