YMPs should be supported.
"Young Moro Professionals Network is heard here and abroad. We should support them," said Director Baser Datu-imam during the National Conference of Grassroots Muslim Leaders for Peace and Solidarity held on May 15 at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.
More than 50 Maranaos attended the event to unify the clan leaders of the Moriatao Diwan of Bayang town, Lanao del Sur. Prominent individuals who come from Bayang include the late former Congressman Rashid Lucman, founder of the Bangsamoro Liberation ORganization, Former Governor Saidamen Pangarungan, Aleem Jamil Yahya, former Youth Commissioner Pendatun Disimban, who all came to lend their support.
A resolution was passed to the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process on the following:
- support for the Anti-Discrimination Bill now pending in Senate
- support for the GRP-MILF peace process
YMPN Membership Convenor and MYspeak project manager Samira Gutoc was invited to speak on the role of YMPN in peacebuilding. She started by mentioning the historic role of Bayang in fighting colonization against Americans, a "memory which must be preserved and remembered by Filipinos."
She urged the elders and the youth to bridge the gap by working on promoting a "better Muslim development partnership" that would encourage the talents of the working Maranao in Manila to be enhanced.

"YMPN is a group that supports you and other Muslim associations' work through information advocacy," she said. "But Maranao money and industry must also consider expanding itself to consider Tausug and other ethnic groups' contributions so that a Moro paradigm and thus MORE IMPACT is created ."
She reported the dialogues on intrafaith peacebuilding conducted among Moro youths in Davao City and Zamboanga City to be a precursor to dialogues with MILF and MNLF leaders who represent the Bangsamoro in the largest Muslim grouping of nations , Organization of Islamic Conference.
