	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Mindanao-Eastern Visayas rain forests (IM0129)
		Mindanao and the Visayas were transported across the western Pacific to their present location during the last 25 million years.
		The dire situation in the lowlands of Mindanao and Eastern Visayas is highlighted by the contrast in conservation status between the lowland ecoregion and the adjacent upland Mindanao Montane Rain Forests [IM0128] ecoregion.
		In Mindanao we used the 1,000-m contour from the DEM (USGS 1996) to delineate the montane forests from the lowland forests.

		tribe) of the deep and mountainous rainforests of the southern Philippine island of Mindanao who, up until the mid-20th century, were living as close to Stone Age lifeways as any people known in modern times.
		Tasaday oral history speaks of "fugu", a horribly evil force that devastated the community, killing everyone except the Tasaday's ancestors who fled southward, deep into the forbidding mountain forest (even currently, most Mindanao tribespeople avoid the deep forest due to beliefs such as "tau maloy" or ghost people who are said to inhabit there).
		Following a cultural rule generally observed throughout Mindanao, the community of people who stays in place and receives immigrants from outside holds their name and property, thus the Tasaday remain today a separate entity from the Blits.

	U.OF THE PHILIPPINES MINDANAO AND HRD OF MINDANAO REGION
		The reason for this, according to the Mindanao 2000 report, is primarily due to the asymmetric Manila-centered development plans of past governments that concentrated on Manila which made Mindanao the food and raw material supplier to Manila and other urban centers of the country.
		Mindanao’s present economy is characterized by dominance of agriculture, limited agri-industrial coupling, industries that are natural-resource driven, a population that has low purchasing power, industries that are foreign-dominated and export-oriented, and dominance of a few landed families in each of the 23 provinces.
		In all these efforts, UP Mindanao expects to work in consultation and collaboration with other colleges and universities in the region in recognition of their longer presence and valuable contribution to the development of human resources through professional and technical education for Mindanao.

	Fr Eliseo Mercado's Aide Memoire on the War in Mindanao
		The common mistake people make when they speak of the present war in Mindanao is to lump together the different Muslim actors into one and put them all together in one "basket".
		While the government is reported to spend twenty-three millions pesos a day in the conduct of the Mindanao War, it spends a measly million pesos a week for the needs of the evacuees.
		Several sectors in Mindanao, particularly the religious continue to hold the GRP and the MILF to limit their fights between and among combatants.

	Leadership for Peace and Prosperity in Mindanao: A New Learning and Training Initiative Enables Filipinos to Work ...
		The work of Synergos in developing regions such as Mindanao has revealed that the most serious problems faced by many communities are the result of deep societal divides -- religious, cultural, economic and political.
		The persistent civil unrest that has disrupted life in Mindanao for more than three decades stems in large part from the wide-scale government-led migration of settlers -- mostly Christian -- from the more densely populated islands of the country to the fertile agricultural lands of Mindanao.
		As an example, Garilao noted that in October 2003 AIM held its first training course on bridging leadership in Davao, Mindanao, which brought together militar y field commanders, Catholic and Muslim religious leaders, former guerrillas, local government officials, and Muslim community leaders to identify the issues that serve as barriers to change in their communities.

		Life in the deep sea must adapt to unique conditions of low or no light, high pressure, low energy (except at hot vents and cold hydrocarbon seeps), and near-freezing or--at hot vents--superheated temperatures.
		One unexplained but fairly common feature of deep animals is gigantism (such as oarfish, the giant squid, etc.).
		Perhaps bacteria are involved, for the deep mud has many bacteria including iron-oxidizing ones that normally use natural iron for energy.

		Driven by the protracted Muslim separatist war in Mindanao, many fled to Sabah, only to find themselves persecuted in a foreign land, with their own government offering but a token response to their forced repatriation.
		Many are starving and dying of dehydration, and those who survived the passage from Sabah to Mindanao on jam-packed ships and “floating coffins” suffered from mental stress and malnutrition.
		Some parts of Mindanao are still at war, driving away investors that could have provided jobs.

		IID's peacebuilding and advocacy initiatives on Mindanao will strive to galvanize solidarity and sustained dialogue among the tri-people grassroots towards their effective participation in the peace process.
		Parallel to this is also to tap into the fresh and rich experiences of peoples and partners in the region that have had similar debacles as inputs in sharpening current strategies and perspectives.

		Yet the week certainly has its own life-blood now, and its efforts to secure peace in Mindanao must seem, on the whole, in opposition to the general attitude of the Estrada and now the Arroyo administrations.
		Indeed, the week of peace is all about solidarity amongst the various peoples of Mindanao, and an opportunity for all of us to urge for a type of peace that is not formulated in either political expediency or grudging, tenuous, concessions.

		He lost both his job and the opportunity to be in the top position of that firm plainly because he opted to side with the grieving peasants on their demand for fair labor practice.
