A Korean representative, Man Hee Lee, who has brought about Catholic - Islam peace agreement.
The Philippines has a long history of religious conflicts.
Catholic, the state religion, and Islam that 5% people of the nation belong to.
In the country, the conflict between the two religions already started 40 years ago.
Moro group(Muslim) was committed to the territorial dispute between the Phillippines and Malaysia. When they defied that they cannot attack Malaysia because it is an Islamic country, they were executed by the phillippine government. There have been conflicts since then. As a result, more than 120,000 people have been sacrificed over the dispute.
I think the Philippines is now more eager to find peace than any other countries are.
The archbishop of Mindanao Island in the Philippines continued to request the visits of the Korean civilian peace activist(Representative Lee), and he visited and signed the peace treaty with them.
