                    [Summary] => COTABATO CITY — All of the 100 mayors and five governors of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) favor Charter change, not because they all belong to the ruling party Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) but due to a common conviction it could be good for the peace process in the South.


In fact, there are members of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) who agree with the local executives’ stand that Cha-cha could usher in improvements on laws upholding Muslim autonomy and the welfare of Mindanao’s indigenous people.
