Mindanao Peace Process

Even though i don't always watch TV for news and discuss with people what is currently happening in the world or the country, i somehow manage to get a little information of other things but not always. its not that i don't want to know anything about what's happening in my country but its because i dont really have the time to ask questions and watch the tv for the news. But someimes, o carefree i may seem, when a conflict happens and it becomes so big of an issue that even people like me won't miss hearing about it.

The Mindanao conflict started more than a decade ago and its impact has made many filipinos aware because of the chaos it has created. i know what's happening in Mindanao but what i know was not enough to understand why such a thing is happening. It was of great help when we discussed in class about the Mindanao incidents and the peace processes that's happening. i just can't help but ask myself why has the conflict not been solved when there is already this so called "peace process" that's happening. There had already been two presidents that tried to solve this problem but none has yet shown any solutions to the problem. In discussing about the peace process that has been happening, Malaysia was mentioned as one of the actors involved in the process for about ten years already. If this is so, then why hasn't there been any changes? different issues were discussed in the class and its just now that i realized deeper reasons to what is the truth about what's happening in Mindanao. I really felt sad for our co-Filipinos in the region who are affected with what's happening.

I agree that maybe there is a need to change the actors participating in the Moro Peace processes. Perhaps someone whom we don't have issues currently and in the past with. I really hope there would be an end to this problem and that the new administration knows what to do and make the right decisions to be made regarding the issue.
