‘The Road to Peace’ is looking bright
What a gift it was to witness the launch of The Road to Peace: Crafting the Bangsamoro Organic Law, a coffee table book by Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri. It’s perfect to celebrate this during the Christmas season — a season of hope, joy and peace.

The passing of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) in 2018 was an important step towards achieving peace in Muslim Mindanao. After years of painstaking processes and negotiations, this law helped end decades of conflict between the Philippine government and indigenous Moro population and helped set up a political entity for Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
