Almost 12 years ago, government succeeded in signing a peace
agreement with the Moro National Liberation Front. President Fidel
V. Ramos and MNLF Chair Nurulajji Misuari received the UNESCO's Felix Houphouet-Boigny
Peace Prize "for the agreement they have made in ending the conflict on 2nd September 1996 between the
Philippines Government and the Moro National Liberation Front". Former
President Corazon C. Aquino had initiated the talks with the MNLF. It
took almost nine years of negotiations under two highly-credible Presidents
before an agreement was signed.
