The transition government will also be placed under the Office of the Presidente, or under Aquino himself, added Atty. Michael Mastura, a senior member of the MILF Peace Panel. This prompted the panel's rejection of the GPH proposal and the reassertion of the MILF's demand for a substate.
Isa pa, ang gubyernong transisyon ay direktang ipapailalim sa Office of the President, o kay Aquino, dugtong pa ni Atty. Michael Mastura, isa sa mga pangunahing kasapi ng MILF Peace Panel. Kaya ito tinanggihan ng panel at patuloy na iginigiit ang kahilingang "substate".
