From the Manila Bulletin (Nov 18): ARMM Marks 23rd Founding Anniversary
COTABATO CITY – The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) turns 23 years old today, as the current leadership is setting what it describes as “peacetivities” that are lined up for the event. “All is set for the series of commemorative activities starting Monday,” said Amir Mawalil, head of the newly formed ARMM communications group. Mawalil said the festivities are meant as thanksgiving for the “substantial reforms” put in place by the administration of ARMM caretaker-Governor Mujiv Hataman “propping up gains in the peace process” between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the central government..... Meanwhile, organizers dubbed the 23rd ARMM anniversary fete as the 2012 Bangsamoro Peacetivities with the theme “Mga Makabagong Hamon sa Mapayapang Bangsamoro.” The festivities kicked-off today with a parade of ARMM officials and personnel, and a trade fair in the morning, and a cultural peace concert and fireworks display in the evening, they added. Other festive highlights include a street dancing competition, a tournament on traditional Moro games dubbed “Morolympics” alongside cultural presentations and a fashion show, they said.
