About the book
A collection responding to the 2008 Supreme Court decision that struck down the GRP–MILF Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain. It gathers dissenting views on the ruling and what it meant for the peace process.
In 2008 the Supreme Court struck down the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD) between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. This 133-page collection gathers responses to that decision. It was published in 2009 by the Magbassa Kita Foundation with the Philippine Council for Islam and Democracy and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung.
The book opens with 2 motions asking the Court to reconsider. Nasser Marohomsalic wrote one for the Muslim Legal Assistance Foundation, calling the Constitution a "prison wall". Soliman M. Santos Jr. wrote the other for the Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society and the Bangsamoro Women Solidarity Forum. Santos then comments on the decision and on the Court's denial of the motions. Further pieces come from Michael Mastura, Joaquin Bernas, Sedfrey Candelaria, Amina Rasul and Eliseo "Jun" Mercado. The book closes with reports from the Council's round-table talks on getting the peace process back on track.
