Women & Children's Causes Update: Education for Lumad lead by Fr. Fausto Tentorio

In 2008, Fr. Fausto Tentorio took over as coordinator of the Tribal Filipino Program of the Archdiocese of Kidapawan from Fr. Peter Geremia, who was assigned as parish priest in Columbio, Sultan Kudarat. Tentorio also served as board member of the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines, a progressive congregation forming education support communities in remote areas not normally reached by government services.
“His support was focused on giving education and health services, especially for the Lumad and the deprived sectors,” Capuyan said. For example, she said, Tentorio helped set up daycare centers in remote areas in Arakan, in Kitaotao town in Bukidnon province, and in some parts of Compostela Valley.
Capuyan said these daycare centers used the indigenous people’s curriculum, inculcating the Lumad culture and tradition, and sometimes even using the Lumad language in the classroom. She said there were 47 such daycare centers in Arakan alone, and 23 in the hinterlands of Kitaotao and Compostela Valley, and even in Davao Oriental province."

Peace Update: President Benigno Aquino III said Thursday he would not resort to ordering an army offensive against Muslim guerrillas

"President Benigno Aquino III said Thursday he would not resort to ordering an army offensive against Muslim guerrillas who killed 19 army soldiers in the southern Philippines despite a clamor for tougher government action.

Tuesday’s intense fighting on southern Basilan island between army special forces and members of the 11,000-strong Moro Islamic Liberation Front killed 25 combatants, including six guerrillas. It was some of the deadliest fighting since 2008, when peace talks bogged down and ignited widespread clashes that killed hundreds and displaced 750,000 people."
