MARAWI AND BEYOND May the first anniversary of the Marawi siege then be a clarion call for both
Christians and Muslims to look beyond and work together in forging a Culture of Peace
As we approach the first anniversary of the Marawi Siege that started on May 23, and Development for the island-world of Mindanao.
2017, several questions have begun to loom large. What is the future of Marawi? How Bp. Emmanuel T. Cabajar Dr. Teng A. Alim
do we help the thousands of internally displaced persons return to their homes or new Bishop of Pagadian President, Tawasul Philippines
surroundings? What will happen to the second draft of the Bangsamoro Basic Law now
pending in Congress? How do we address the specter of violent extremism that may be Bp. Antonieto D. Cabajog Shk. Aliasa M. Alinog

indigenous people in building a Culture of Peace? Bishop of Malaybalay Interfaith Forum For Solidarity & Peace
Bp. Severo C. Caermare Marhan M. Borhan
These were some of the questions addressed by twelve Catholic bishops and twelve Bishop of Dipolog Chairman Da’wah Committee and
Muslim religious leaders in a dialogue meeting on “Marawi and Beyond” held in Cagayan
de Oro City on April 12, 2018. The bishops represented their arch/dioceses of Ozamis, Abp. Fernando R. Capalla Mohamad G. Gondarangin
Dipolog, Pagadian, Ipil, Isabela, Jolo, Cagayan de Oro, Malaybalay, Surigao, Tandag, Davao, Archbishop Emeritus of Davao President Of Oro Jamah
and the Prelature of St. Mary’s in Marawi. The Muslim religious leaders represented BUC, Chairman of the Board Chairman CDO Muslim Coordinating Council

the post-Marawi siege situation. Seven summary observations can be highlighted.
Bp. Nereo P. Odchimar Dr. Norodin D. Salam
1) Not too long ago, there were harmonious relations among Christian and Muslim Bishop of Tandag Secretariat Joint Working Group for Religious
communities. We need to restore these relationships of trust and mutual caring. Leaders for Peace, Director Peace Center
5) Many of the Marawi residents do not have titles or other documents to their
occupied lands. By custom and tradition they have been living there without the
need for formalities. Hence, this will pose a challenge to authorities who have
earlier expressed the requirement of at least some tax or land declaration.
6) The role of schools and the Madrasah system in promoting peace education is
indispensable. The Department of Education plays a crucial role in introducing
peace education in the curriculum.
7) There is need to look after the long-term solution by transforming the minds and
hearts of all stakeholders in Mindanao. Concretely the passage of the BBL can
provide a sustainable framework for the peace and development of Mindanao.
Two days later after the dialogue meeting, the Catholic bishops accompanied
Bishop De la Peña on a sentimental visit to his war-torn church and bishop’s house at
