ISULAN, Sultan Kudarat – Various sectors in Mindanao are upbeat over signs of imminent forging of peace agreement between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), lining up this early several activities they hope to help flesh out the age-old dream for lasting peace and meaningful co-existence among the now dominant Christian settlers and Muslim natives on the island. | |||
Negotiating peace panels of the government and the MILF held their 26th round of formal exploratory talks in Malaysia recently, zeroing in on the substantive aspects of their respective formulas of ending the decades-old armed rebellion in the south, and expressing optimism for the forging of a final peace accord this year. | |||
Both panels have been pursuing a consensus that such peace pact should emanate from workable ideas raised not only in their series of Malaysia-brokered peace negotiations but also from popular consultations with other stakeholders in Mindanao. | |||
On such pretext, organizers from the dominant Christian populace and the ruling Muslim sector of the fast-growing province of Sultan Kudarat are all set to stage here today an interfaith peace blessing festival in pursuit of peace-building in southern Philippines. | |||
"The event is a celebration of harmonious co-existence between races and religions promoting the common goal of attaining peace in Mindanao," leading organizers said in a statement sent to the Manila Bulletin Thursday night. | |||
Sultan Kudarat officials including Governor Suharto Teng Mangudadatu, son of Sultan Pax Mangudadatu, Representative Raden Sakaluran, and Arnold Go said they are "proud" that their province is playing host to the unprecedented affair in collaboration with the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), an international non-government organization, affiliated with the United Nations’ in consultative status. | |||
Organizers said the IPBF expects participants to discuss issues and steps on achieving peace in the region "with the family as its building block." | |||
Citing various studies, they said, stable and loving families raise children that are less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, engage in casual sex and commit crimes making the streets safer. | |||
"Aside from peace accords resulting from the Mindanao peace process, thousands of national delegates and hundreds of international dignitaries advocate strong marriages and families believing that this action will serve as another stone at strengthening tranquility in the region," the organizers’ statement said. | |||
Mangudadatu batted for the participation of everyone for the success of the IPBF’s goal, stressing that nation-building is an "obligation not only of the government but by the cooperation of the citizens it serve." | |||
