Dean Marvic Leonen’s appointment augurs well with the ongoing peace talks between the GRP and the MILF. He brings with him not only an impressive credential to the post, but more importantly, a solid experience, empathy and grounding on the issues and rights of the indigenous peoples, the upland communities, including those in Mindanao. His new post also buoys up a lot of hope and raises high expectations particularly from the peace and people’s movements regarding the prospects of the peace process in Mindanao.
