COTABATO CITY- “Life without hunger or displacement, where there is equal opportunity for everyone and where the ancestral domain of Moro and indigenous peoples are genuinely respected and upheld, and where the propriety rights of settlers are recognized”, are the emerging consensus points in the ongoing Central Mindanao area consultation on the Mindanao Peoples Peace Agenda (MPPA).

We grieve together with the families of those brutally killed in the 23 November massacre in Ampatuan town in the province of Maguindanao. We stand in solidarity with the Filipino people in voicing their collective outrage over this brazen display of power and arrogance that can only flourish in the continuing culture of impunity that pervades the country.
We are appalled and angered at the manner by which this attack on more than fifty-seven [57] innocent lives was carried out. Women, journalists, lawyers, and defenseless civilians terrorized and murdered by around 100 armed men. Bullet-ridden bodies dumped in mass graves.
