The Department of the Interior and Local Government ( DILG ) said that separating Mindanao from the entire Philippines will be no good for the country as it will degrade its territorial integrity. In a statement on Friday, February 2, 2024, DILG secretary Benhur Abalos Jr. said in order to ensure a long-lasting peace, progress, and development in the Mindanao region, the Philippines must remain united and undivided. Secession is not the answer to Mindanao ’s concerns, Abalos said.
“It would violate the fundamental tenets of our Constitution. It would destroy the territorial integrity of the Philippines and disrupt decades of painstaking effort to build a stronger union among all our peoples and ethnicities,” he added. Abalos urged all stakeholders to uphold the sanctity of the Philippine Constitution for a strong, united, and undivided nation
