News Analysis

Mindanao Perspectives

ARMM Governor Nur Misuari's foolhardy but failed rebellion has recently drawn the world's spotlights on the wild and rugged reaches of Mindanao. With a death toll of more than 150 plus more than 80 civilians held hostage by renegade MNLF troops, Mindanao's landscape has once again been tainted unnecessarily with blood. In this month's issue of Philippines Today, we shift from our usual news analysis to thought-provoking perspectives from two sons of Mindanao.

THERE is no denying that Christmas is here. You can feel it by the brush of the cool breeze in your cheek. Stores stock up their products into colorful arrays of tempting gift items. Cards from loved-ones start finding their way into your apartment. Pretty soon, long distance calls will make you grab a pen and list down things people from home would like to have as a presents from abroad. Despite the war in Afghanistan, Christmas has arrived and you have to enjoy the season well.
