Intrafaith Process among Catholics in the Service of Interfaith Dialogue with Muslims and Lumads
VENEER OF BENEVOLENCE?
A nationalistic educational policy formulated from within the cultural, religious and political worldviews of a Manila-centered elitewas widely experienced as a homogenisation of Filipino identity hostile to Muslim Filipino identities, regardless of that bureaucracy s benevolent intentions. Pursued within the conceptual framework of civilisation-development, state educational policies gave integration a veneer of benevolence
Schools, colleges and universities, acknowledged as neutral agents of change, can play a strategic and leadership role in helping craft a Mindanao peace roadmap, build broad support around it, and provide timely assessments and inputs as to its implementation. The conventional notion that education is the longterm solution to peacelessness self-limits the vast potentials of educational institutions as credible and effective platforms for peace-building and peace-making in the short and medium term. --- (Atty. Beny Bacani)
The Catholic Church in general and Catholic educational institutions in particular are weighed down by baggages as a repository of confessional and historical biases against Muslims and Lumads. The success of peace-building programs of Catholic educational institutions must be gauged among others on how they move Christians into admitting that they play a part in the historical marginalization of minority groups and that there can be no just resolution to the Mindanao conflicts without their support. ---Benny Bacani
Our intuition is that the Gospel resonates with what is good in each culture. At the same time, we acknowledge that we have not always followed this intuition. We have not always recognized that aggression and coercion have no place in the preaching of the Gospel of freedom, especially in cultures which are vulnerable to manipulation by more powerful forces. We have often contributed to the alienation of the very people we wanted to serve (90-92)
Is it possible that in opening many schools in Mindanao, we have not just shared faith and civilization, but have also extended the colonial project? Is the story of Jesuit and Catholic schools in Mindanao considered good news to the Mindanawons, especially the Moros and the Lumads?

TEXTBOOK SCAMS
Although there has been a cleanup at the top, textbook publishers interviewed for this report say that corruption remains pervasive in many of the DepEd's 150 schools divisions and the local school boards that fall directly under mayors or governorspublishers and agents revealed that bribery is still the norm in the awarding of contracts for textbooks to schools divisions and to local school boardsYvonne Chua
TEXTBOOK SCAMS
.Just like before, payoffs and perks (including overseas trips for school officials), not real need, are the prime considerations in the purchase of textbooks for public schools. One textbook agent even says, "Our lives depend on the superintendents or the mayors. If you're not close to them and you have nothing to give, they're not going to get their books from you. ---Yvonne Chua

Child Labor
7 out of 10 Mindanao households have working children within 5-17 years old, surpassing the national average of 6 out of 10. (Oct 2001)
The phenomenon of child labor and child prostitution points to the problem of extreme poverty Despite laws against child labor, many children have remained in the labor market.

1. The majority now has not been the majority in the beginning. 3. Christians form the majority in the Philippines, but we are minority in Asia. 3. While Christians feel we are the majority in the country, actually, in some places like Basilan, Christians are a minority.
MUSLIMS
The Muslims are portrayed as having culture, religion, and history but their history has always been one of conflict. Their struggle for self-determination is seen as a problem blocking development, rather than a symptom of a deeper issue of injustice. How can the Moro struggle be integrated into our curriculum while at the same time forging peace?

KRISTIYANOS
The Kristiyanos have culture both traditional and modern; they have education, philosophy, science, technology, economy, politics, agriculture, art, and religion; active civil society. But no matter how long they have been in Mindanao are still seen as settlers. How can we also tell the story of the early native believers and settler communities?
How can the Mindanawon story be beautifully woven into our Philippine history?

Can we imagine a different future guided by another, more humane understanding of development ? What movements and ideas in peripheral corners of the world are now growing in influence and may contain the seeds of different, and vastly better, modes of living? The future is not written in stone. Many paths are possible. Let us examine these closely as we envision a better future. What next? Sheila Coronel and Kunda Dixit Development Dialogue 47 (2006)
