A year later, the government and the MILF remain
miles apart from reaching an agreement on ending the Muslim
insurgency and establishing a Bangsamoro government that would
restore peace in Mindanao.

The curse of
presidentialitis and living in the past
|
|
PRESIDENTIALITIS. This is a disease that afflicts middle-aged
Filipinos, more so the political types. It is a disease, obsession
