Rodil Mindanao State University–Iligan Institute of Technology, Philippines Abstract. The current paper is fused from two papers delivered in separate events: “A Mindanao Historian’s Views On the Basic Issues of the GRP-MILF Peace Process,” delivered during the Peace Process Exchange Workshop hosted by the Hiroshima University Partnership for Peacebuilding and Capacity Development (HiPeC) from 30 July to 5 August 2012, and “Peace Process and Peace Education for Development,” delivered during the Teaching Enriched History and Bridging Cultures: In Search of Peace in Mindanao, Philippines” hosted by the Mindanao State University–Marawi at Crystal Inn, Iligan City, last 21 June 2013. In this invited paper, I draw on my many years of experience as an academic, peace advocate, and member of the government peace panel in talks with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) from 1993 to 1996 and with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) from 2004 to 2008. I have also added a few reflections given the recent developments in the Bangsamoro Basic Law and the Mamasapano incident.

  • THE MANUNGGUL JAR AS a VESSEL of HISTORY By: Michael Charleston B
    THE MANUNGGUL JAR AS A VESSEL OF HISTORY by: Michael Charleston B. Chua "…the work of an artist and master potter."--Robert Fox 27th April 1995—I was 11 years old when I visited the National Museum -- the repository of our cultural, natural and historical heritage. I remembered the majesty of climbing those steps and walking past the Neo-classical Roman columns until I was inside the Old Congress Building. Today, if the Metropolitan Museum’s identifying piece was the painting Virgenes Cristianas Expuestas Al Populacho by Felix Resurrecion Hidaldo and the GSIS Museum its Parisian Life by the painter Juan Luna, the National Museum’s, El Spoliarium, Luna’s most famous piece. Many people come to the museum just for this painting. But another less-popular but quite significant piece was the Manunggul jar. The Manunggul jar was one of the numerous jars found in a cave believed to be a burial site (Manunggul, was part of the archaeologically significant Tabon Cave Complex in Lipuun Point, Quezon, Palawan) that was discovered on March 1964 by Victor Decalan, Hans Kasten and other volunteer workers from the United States Peace Corps. The Manunggul burial jar was unique in all respects. Dating back to the late Neolithic Period (around 710 B.C.), Robert Fox described the jar in his landmark work on the Tabon Caves: The burial jar with a cover featuring a ship-of-the-dead is perhaps unrivalled in Southeast Asia; the work of an artist and master potter. This vessel provides a clear example of a cultural link between the archaeological past and the ethnographic present.

Noble Dissertation Committee Albert Robillard William Wood Seio Nakajima Steven Brown Amefil Agbayani ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This research project is a journey to a world of infinite possibilities that I have been privileged to know.

To Deanna Lorenzana- Gregorio for inspiring me to take up the cause o disability and pioneer our dream of a Center of disability and diversity studies in the Philippines. To my awe-inspiring adviser, Dr Britt Robillard, and his wonderful wife, Divina, for their unwaivering support. To my distinguished panel members, Dr Bill Wood, Dr Seio Nakajima, Dr Steve Brown and Dr Amy Agbayani - for the able guidance that saw me through the finish line.
