    They've been fighting forever now. I say just give them Mindanao and let shit settle down.

    Kudos to the Current staff for featuring this. I think that this is a very important issue not just because I am Filipino, but also because of the number of people that have been killed and displaced from their homes. There is not a lot of media coverage on it and the world should be informed about what's going on down there.

    The fighting has been ongoing since the late 60's and there are no hopes of an actual ceasefire. Mindanao is a beautiful island rich in natural resources, but the Philippine government should just concede.

    There is so much more to talk about but I'm afraid this is already protracted, but again, thanks for sharing this.

    Excellent piece Tracy and Mitch. The most appealing segments on current are Vanguard in my opinion. Keep up the outstanding work.

    I wasn't even aware of this issue until I watched this.
