Davao City – While the GRP-MILF peace panels negotiated for an interim agreement in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in the last two days, the Mindanao PeaceWeavers (MPW) was also brewing a document called the MPW People’s Peace Agenda (MPPA) that they plan to offer to the two negotiating panels as Mindanao civil society’s blueprint towards a common peace platform.
