MOA

MOA is how the Mall Of Asia- the Philippines biggest mall, is known. But now, a different MOA has entered the consciousness of the Filipino. It is referred to as MOA-AD or Memorandum of Agreements- Ancestral Domain. How important is this document? Others say it is the reason for the resurgence of the ongoing armed conflict in Mindanao. Others say it is the roadmap to peace. The poor Filipinos living in the places where the armed confrontation is taking place did not even have the time to read and study the MOA. They hardly even have time to gather all their belongings. many of them literally ran away from their homes but many have already died. They are still talking about the MOA but in the meantime those who have lost loved ones and homes are still grieving not knowing what the future holds. MOA or no MOA, everyone of those persons deserves to have a peaceful night and a productive day, not hiding in fear and not cowering in the shadows not knowing what is out there.
