This became a blueprint for peace initiatives that could be transferred to other Asian nations with similar conflicts. In 2013 tensions were high due to reignited military clashes between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the largest armed resistance group in Southeast Asia. Though the MILF's initial intention was honorable, combatting political, cultural and economic discrimination stemming from the colonial period of Spain and the West, the Philippine government declared war with the militant group.

After the end of the Cold War, ethnic and religious identities that had been bound by ideology emerged as a source of conflict. Ethnic and religious conflicts have increased significantly, accounting for more than 80% of conflicts that occur worldwide. This shift in conflicts requires a new approach to problem-solving. At the regional level, from 2019 to 2020, major cities in Mindanao, such as Cotabato City and Davao City, have resolved to support and implement the "Declaration of Peace and the Cessation of War" (DPCW) announced by HWPL The DPCW has been developed and functions as an international legal document with legal, institutional and normative functions by international organizations, central and local governments, and civil society. At the national level, efforts to establish peace through cooperation with central government ministries in the field of education are expanding. HWPL has been implementing peace education at the international level suggested by the United Nations and UNESCO to students and citizens in the Philippines, starting with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with 70 educational institutions in Mindanao in February 2016. Citizen education focusing on character development in line with the era of peace is a recent international educational trend. Several national committees of UNESCO have also signed MOUs with HWPL and are beginning to introduce peace education. In the Philippines, in 2018, an MOU was signed with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), an organization under the direct control of the president, and in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, the nation-wide education curriculum for peace education and the training of the education is being expanded. Through this cooperation, 2,551 teachers from 557 educational institutions are trained in the Philippines alone, contributing to peace education for 23,000 students (200 teachers and 5,000 students in Mindanao). The Chairman of the HWPL, Lee Man-hee always emphasizes, "Let's all become messengers of peace and leave peace as a legacy for future generations." The possibility of peace emphasized by HWPL will become a reality when people around the world take the lead and become shepherds of peace.For more news on the Mindanao work through HWPL, please visit: http://news.hwpl.kr/en/news/view/190301376/SpecialBondofPeacethatTiesMindanaoandHWPLTogetherMedia ContactHWPL Chicagohwplchicago1@gmail.com2696263185http://hwpl.kr Source :HWPL ChicagoThis article was originally published by IssueWire.
