STORYLINE
Filipino Muslims demonstrators marched through Manila on Sunday in support of the signing of a preliminary peace pact aimed at ending one of Asia's
longest-running insurgencies.
The framework peace agreement that hopes to end the Moro Islamic Liberation Front's (MILF) decades-long rebellion has killed tens of thousands of people and held back progress in the south, where Muslims make up a sizable minority.
About 300 Muslims from Manila and southern provinces marched in a self-styled "Peace Caravan" to the palace in a noisy but peaceful rally.
"We believe that with this framework agreement we can attain true peace in Mindanao, which all of the people in Mindanao have been wishing for," said Peace Caravan organiser Pendatun Disimban.
They called for more development in the resource-rich but impoverished southern Mindanao region, the homeland of minority Muslims in the predominantly Roman Catholic nation.
The preliminary agreement is to be signed on Sunday by government negotiator Marvic Leonen and his rebel counterpart, Mohagher Iqbal and also calls for the establishment of a 15-member Transition Commission that would draft a law creating a new Muslim-administered region.
The pending agreement will serve as a roadmap outlining general agreements on major issues such as the extent of power, revenues and territory of a new Muslim autonomous region to be called Bangsamoro.
Rebel forces will be deactivated gradually "beyond use," the agreement says, without specifying a timetable.
The deal is the most significant progress in years of tough bargaining with the 11,000-strong Moro group to end an uprising that has left more than 120,000 people dead and displaced about 2 million others.
The new Muslim region is to be built upon an existing five-province autonomous territory, among the country's poorest and most violent.
The Moro rebels earlier dropped a demand for a separate Muslim state and renounced terrorism.
A final pact signing on Monday will be witnessed by President Benigno Aquino III, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and rebel chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, who will set foot for the first time in Manila's Malacanang presidential palace, where officials have prepared a red-carpet welcome.
The pending agreement will serve as a roadmap outlining general agreements on major issues such as the extent of power, revenues and territory of a new Muslim autonomous region to be called Bangsamoro.
Government and rebel negotiators forged the framework peace agreement October 7 in Malaysia after 15 years of tough negotiations.
