The fruit of Chairman Man hee Lee in Mindanao, Philippines.

Ceaseless civil war for last 40 years.

Previously there were mostly Muslims in Mindanao island with population of 22 million.
And the area is smaller than S.Korea peninsula.

Later at the colonial period of USA, multitude of Christian Filipino migrated into the Mindanao.
So that the native Muslims were kicked out of their village and went into the wild.

It was the beginning of territorial dispute with religion conflict.
Since then endless war continued in the island with more than 170 thousands of casualty.

Accordingly, when we think about Mindanao, Philippines;
It was a nightmare with battle and death between Islam and Catholic.
Rather than in spite of its beautiful natural superb landscape.

The Peace Agreement Accomplished by One Private Organization.

Peace advocate Man hee Lee and peace delegation visited Mindanao on 24 Jan 2014.
They hosted the Peace Walk in downtown of General Santos with 1,000 participants including students, and religious leaders.
Transcending the boundaries of religion and nationality for the first time in this region.

In result, they reached to the Peace Agreement in the conference room General Santos Hotel.
There came the representative of Catholic (Fernando Capalla, former archbishop of Mindanao Davao), and the representative of Islam (Esmael, governor of Maguindanao, and Islamic autonomous district in Mindanao) and agreed on the end of war and world peace agreement.

The peace agreement expedited the Philippine goverment to accept Islam autonomous district in Mindanao.
And the MNLF (Moro National Liberation Front) be disarmed gradually.
Finally they put and end to the long lasting civil war of 40 days.

It was not possible even for the president of Philippines.
Intervene to cease fire in Mindanao as a long pending dispute.

Remarkably it was promoted by one chairman of private organization.
He was "a Korean" that made the world quite surprising.

The Chairman Man hee Lee was once a veteran for the Korean War.
That he understands the grief and pain of war better than anyone else.
So it seems that he became to work for world peace constantly.

Word of mouth for peace is easy for everyone.

But work and action for peace in reality is so difficult.
Moreover for the world peace as well as his nation 'Korea'.
He may well  be the first pathfinder.

This time he became a great role model for world peace. Worthy to be given a standing ovation from all the people over the world.

I do hope and expect for the continuous marvelous news of peace.
To result in world peace lest the people be painful by the war.
For me, as a Korean, the same nationality with Chairman Man hee Lee.
I'm really proud of him so much and give my respect to him.
