From the Manila Bulletin (Oct 19): Peace Program
The Philippine Army has expressed support to the peace agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) with the launch of a bike for peace program of the Rotary Clubs of Muntinlupa. Last October 18, at least 102 bikes were sent off to different parts of the Visayas and Mindanao from Iloilo City onboard military vessels. The public-private partnership (PPP) was initiated during the Rotary Peace Festival last September. Brigadier General Leo Cresente Ferrer, chief of Peace Process Office of Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), and Major General Jose Mabanta Jr., commander of the 3rd Infantry Division (3ID), gave their support to transport the bikes that will be distributed to insurgent areas across the Visayas and Mindanao. “It is an honor to be able to transport these bikes of peace.”
