                    [Title] => The conversation on peace must continue
                    [Summary] => 

I had not seen Mike Mastura for a long time. We often met at seminars and conferences on peace in Mindanao and my image of him was that of a Muslim intellectual firebrand. The Masturas were great exemplars of a Muslim-Christian partnership. His wife, Lourdes, is a dyed in wool former colegiala. I remember she was part of a group of volunteers doing museum work.

Republican party officers were just going by impressions when they posed the policy survey question "Should America broaden the war on terrorism into other countries that harbor and aid terrorists such as the Philippines, etc.?"

As the Pope sometimes used St. Peter’s basilica as his pulpit to the Catholic world, so did the Great White Father use the Batasan as his stage for rallying support for American policy in the Philippines, in Asia and the world at large.
