Recently, I have attended the Peace Forum here in Davao City organized by the BISHOP-ULAMA Conference in Mindanao (Christian-Muslim Ecumenical Dialogue) sponsored by the Ignatian Institute of Religious Education, Foundation. During the talk, it was brought into discussion the conflict in the Philippines, particularly in Mindanao between the Pseudo Muslim (as I described this group) and the government which caused division and war in the Western areas of the Island. As of now, almost thousands of people being displaced in their homes just to bring them out of the problem. The most affected are those innocent civilians who don't deserve in all of these miseries.

The radical change of heart from the darkness of sin into the light of God's love.
