The government of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao is organizing a “barefoot walk for peace” on Friday (Feb. 6).
The activity dubbed as YapaKapayapaan carries the theme “Ituloy ang lakad (continue to walk), don’t give up on peace”.
ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman said the activity calls for “an end to the needless loss of lives and displacement of thousands of families in Mindanao due to armed conflicts.”
Hundreds of peace advocates from civil society groups, religious organizations and the indigenous community are expected to join.
