Today, January 20, 2008, AMIN (Anak Mindanao) NCR Chapter together with a newly formed all-Moro organization, the Bangsamoro Solidarity or BANGSA, held a "Martsa ng Kabataan Para sa Kapayapaan (Children's March for Peace)". More than 500 children, students of the Madrasah in Taguig participated in a march around the Blue Mosque shouting slogans for Peace and flashing the sign of peace with their little hands.

The organizers said that more similar mobilizations will be conducted to appeal and pressure both the MILF and especially the GRP to resume their Peace Talks which just recently bogged down.

AMIN and BANGSA added that they find it fitting to start their series of "Resume the Peace Talks" activities by way of mobilizing the sector who are most affected by war and are the principal beneficiaries of Peace - the children.
