Peace Process in Mindanao and Moro Problem

We submitted our midterm paper last July 19, 2010, then we had a short discussion about the Peace Process in Mindanao and Moro Problem, which the Malaysia is the third party facilitator. Since 2001, Malaysia was our third party facilitator but there were no progress seen up to the present because Malaysia is trying to disrupt peace for their claim in Sabbah. Now the issue is if Malaysia should be retained as the third party facilitator. If the Philippines would not retain Malaysia and be replaced by Indonesia, Malaysia might resort to war with us though Indonesia will help us. We need to seek the help of US if we will change our third party facilitator but US might take advantage of it and may cause tension between US and China because Philippines is a very strategic for US to have surveillance to China. On the other hand, if President Noynoy will not change Malaysia as the third party facilitator, there might be a coup d’état led by the AFP and some influential persons. I just realized that this is a very delicate issue because of the consequences of every decision, and whatever it may be we hope that the result will be for the good of the Filipino people. After the discussion, we again had an early dismissal to have a break from stress because of the midterms week. Thanks Miss! J
