Event Registration_ P.L.E.A.S.E. Peace - PRRD's Promised Legacy in Ending Armed Struggles with Enduring Peace
In the advent of President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s last State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 26, 2021, we recall one of his key promises, after having been elected as the first Mindanawon President. He pledged a legacy of lasting peace especially in Mindanao. While strides were gained in the Bangsamoro peace process, its parallel development involving the National Democratic Front (NDFP) has been stalled and its resumption still uncertain. We believe that a genuine legacy of enduring peace necessitates the reopening of the talks and eventual political settlement of the GRP-NDFP peace talks as well.
