Join USIP in an opportunity to hear the views of three political leaders from Mindanao on the status of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) - Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) peace negotiations.

The Philippine government has just offered the MILF a new proposal in hopes of breaking the September impasse over ancestral domain territory and constitutional limitations. The reactions of these three leaders' constituencies will be critical to the success of the peace process.
