  • Children in Armed Conflict: Philippines
    CHILDREN IN ARMED CONFLICT: PHILIPPINES Processes and Lessons Learned | 2009-2017 Action Plan on the Recruitment and Use of Children in Armed Conflict United Nations and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front FOREWORD The successful implementation of the UN-MILF Action Plan was a significant milestone in the international community’s global commitment to fulfil the rights of children in situations of armed conflict. The eight-year implementation started in 2009 and ended in July 2017 with the disengagement of nearly 2000 children and the delisting of the MILF- BIAF from the annexes of the UN Secretary General’s Report. Reaching its completion was challenging and required tremendous effort by all involved. I am pleased to acknowledge the commitment of the Government of the Philippines and the MILF leadership toward ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Action Plan. Particular appreciation is also owed to the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Children and Armed Conflict for its oversight and guidance, and to the United Nations in the Philippines. We also recognize the large number of our civil society partners in Mindanao who worked tirelessly on the ground to achieve the results highlighted here. This report acknowledges their special contributions. This report is a valuable resource, locally and internationally, for understanding how to effectively implement a plan that has successfully stopped and now prevents recruitment and use of children by armed groups. However, while we celebrate this success, we must not forget that armed groups in Mindanao and many other locations around the world are still recruiting and using children in their struggles.

Duterte: Delivering the Promised Peace to Mindanao By Bilveer Singh Synopsis After years of starts-stops and derailment of peace agreements, the Philippines is today poised to make a peace breakthrough in strife-torn Muslim-dominated Mindanao in southern Philippines. The potential game changer is President-elect Rodrigo Duterte who has promised to break the past deadlocks in favour of a new federalism with a peace agreement with the Muslims in the south. Commentary THE PRESUMPTIVE President-elect of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, is strategically positioned to break the impasse in the Mindanao peace process that has dogged the security of the country for decades. Peace has continued to defy the region due to Muslims’ historical grievances and distrust of the colonial powers in the past and of the Catholic-dominated administrations in Manila since 1947. The three key exceptions to this trend were the 1976 Libyan-sponsored Tripoli agreement, the 1996 Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) agreement with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) in March 2014.

Findings revealed that the linguistic features are personal pronouns that show inclusivity and exclusivity. Passivity, transitivity and the dominating verb tenses and aspects are also evident. The use of loaded, dramatic, and stereotyping adjectives, adverbs and nouns are central to the construction of an event, the use of non-hedged adverbs position a contention as being incontrovertible „fact‟, presupposition, rhetorical questions, ellipsis and Intertextuality were also utilized. The recurring issues in his political speeches are centered on socio-economic, legal and political but War on Drugs, Criminality, Graft and Corruption are highlighted. The President who is the highest official of the land is expected to lead the country in a crusade to alleviate the condition of the constituents and to provide fast solution to these prevailing issues and problems.
