Duterte said she was convinced that “it’s peace harvest season” in Mindanao, and that “the peace doves overshadowed the war hawks” in pushing the Mindanao agenda. She cited the government’s peace settlements, first with the Moro National Liberation Front and then with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front .Peace a ‘fragile beauty’
