(PNA) - Saying the Filipino is weary of all the fighting, discord, and senseless armed combat characteristic of the growing gap between the government and members of the rebel groups, President Benigo Aquino called on all the stakeholders and concerned citizens to rally behind his administration and support the resumption of peace talks with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) taking place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The President made the call during the "Ilaw ng Kapayapaan" (Light of Peace) candle lighting ceremonies held at Quezon Memorial Circle last Tuesday night.
Peace: - calm, repose, freedom from disturbance, war or hostilities as well as tumult and commotion.
A German sayings goes like this: "Ein Friede ist besser als 10 Siege!" One peace is better then ten victories.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God!" (Matthew 5:9).
Also as an expat living in the Philippines and knowing the Philippines, especially Mindanao since the early 1980s, I wish us peace. In Mindanao, in the Philippines, and of course, in the whole world!
