Government panel is represented by Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza, Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay, House Speaker Panteleon Alvarez, National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon and House Majority Leader Rodolfo Fariñas.
Philippine Ambassador to Malaysia Eduardo Malaya is also on hand.
The MILF panel is headed by MILF Chairman Al Haj Murad and MILF chief negotiator Mohagher Igbal.
