Senator Raffy Tulfo warmly welcomed former Scotland First Minister who is currently a member of the UK House of Lords and expert adviser for the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) Lord Jack McConnel as he paid a courtesy visit in his office recently.
McConnel was accompanied by UK Ambassador to the Philippines Laure Beaufils who first visited Tulfo’s office last September 13, 2023.
“We have the same situation in my territory in Scotland.”
One of the things they discussed is the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) because, according to McConnel, they have the same situation in their territory in Scotland.
McConnel is involved in the comprehensive peace agreement in BARMM.
Tulfo told his vistors that the Philippine government, especially the current administration, is worthy of praise for promoting the peace process in BARMM.
For his part, McConell lauded President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for his good foreign policies and management of the country.
“I am in favor of the upcoming BARMM elections in 2025 to ensure the stability of peace and order in BARMM.”
Tulfo said he is in favor of the upcoming BARMM elections in 2025 to ensure the stability of peace and order in said region.
The chairperson of the Senate Committee on Migrant Workers also took the opportunity to discuss the plight of OFW in the UK.
Currently, there are roughly 200,000 OFW in the UK.
