AFTER my work in the government as a Commissioner and Member of Parliament during the Duterte administration, I decided to go back to the university and study peace education theories and practices. With the ongoing tensions in Israel and Palestine, for my column this week, I have chosen to focus on the concept of peace education and its relevance to the Israel-Palestine conflict in relation to the Bangsamoro conflict in Mindanao.
In Mindanao, the Bangsamoro and indigenous groups have long sought recognition of their ancestral domains and control over lands that they consider historically theirs, leading to clashes with the government and other non-Muslim settlers.There is also a crucial similarity in terms of autonomy and self-governance by both the Palestinians and the Bangsamoro people.
