2014, The year of Korea people took an active part in the international arena , Mindanao, Philippines and Sochi winter Olympics !!

I had lots of thinking that it can be attracted public and let the people know my country, Korea through one person when I watched the Sochi Olympics Yuna Kim's stage.
Last month, great thing happened in Mindanao, Philippines.
And suddenly some articles about a peace agreement in Mindanao, Philippines crossed my mind.
A Korean peace advocate led the end of more than 40 years of religious conflict (Islam and Catholic) in Mindanao, Philippines. it isn't just saying , they really signed on the peace agreement. as you know there are still tons of disputes all over the world. especially the countries which are pretty poor...and probably they need more about peaceful movement not useless fight...
so this peace agreement will work a lot I guess and hope!
Philippines and the world is paying attention on this news.

During January and Febuary, Koreans were sparkling in the world definitely!

Anyway the reason of conflict in Mindanao was religion...
85% of Philippines people are Catholic and 5% of the people are Islam. among them, 5% Islamic live in Mindanao.
While U.S ruled Philippines, lots of Christians moved to Mindanao, the Islam native people expelled from Mindanao island...so it caused every terrible situation such casualties  until now in Mindanao.

Islam military rejected to attack Malaysia that is Islam Country when they were committed to a territorial  dispute between Philippines and Malaysia .So, they were executed by government of Philippines . That is why the conflict begins between them.
Although the government of Philippines have tried peace agreement many times ,they have had armed  dispute insisting on foundation of independence nation .
It was said that more people than 120,000 were sacrificed due to this conflict. Nevertheless President ,many peace activists and many people have tried to end the conflict ,it is said that they couldn't stop the conflict of Mindanao ,Philippines for 40years . Peace advocate ,Man Hee Lee was invited many times by an archbishop of Mindanao, Philippines. It is said that Man Hee Lee has done peace movement not by only his will ,but by appointed task from Heaven. Surprisingly ,he has accomplished a peace agreement for only a day between them.
What a amazing work!
It was really impressive to hear that peace advocate ,Man Hee Lee who was working by mission from Heaven played an important role in the matter that has fought for 40 years and accomplished a good work for a peace agreement .Peace activist ,Man Hee Lee concerned about real world peace even though it was a matter of foreign country.
He is a real peace activist. leader of PEACE!

By the peace agreement, Peace starts in Mindanao

Everyone desires and is open mind with peace but why does war or conflict still happen? Because of wars, Korea has been divided into 2 nations for 60 years and it hasn't stopped yet. And now our generation is insensible with unity.
When I first saw a placard written "PH Mindanao Island peace agreement ends the 40 years war" I was indifference with it. However walking the same path and keep looking on it I was worried if war happens in our nation. Because I thought how joyful it would be if Korea attains unity.
The PH Mindanao Island peace agreement is accomplished by the PH citizen's earnest desire. The PH archbishop invited the peace advocate Man Hee Lee several times and Man Hee Lee visited PH Mindanao. The region has suffered disputes between Catholic and Islam for about 40 years and it has caused over 140,000 casualties. Therefore it is a matter of course that PH citizens and government really desires peace.
By the Chairman Lee's peace message, the two representative(Catholic and Islam) became a pure lamb and accepted the peace agreement. Eventually, the peace advocate Man Hee Lee did a big role attaining the Catholic and Islam to accept the peace agreement. I think the country who has pain because of war really desires peace.
The war in Korea hasn't stopped yet. As there was full of joy and impress in Mindanao by the peace agreement, I think it is time for our Korea to think about peace and unity seriously. Especially, there is the peace leader Man Hee Lee working for the Korea unity, so hope the peace wind will come to Korea also. Not just shouting "Peace Peace" but visiting other countries and working for peace makes chairman Lee the real peace leader.

The peace agreement in Mindanao(Catholic & Islam), Philippines, a Korean did!

Do you know the Mindanao Island in Philippines?
The Mindanao Island is located in southern of Philippines, a region which 5% of Muslim, called 'Moro', lives in and there are 85% of Catholic people live in Philippines.
There has been long history of religious conflict between Catholics and Muslims for 40 years until now from 1968, because of a struggle for independence of Muslims.
The conflict has killed 150,000 victims.
But in this conflict area, a spark of peace is begun finally.
On January 24, the representatives of Catholicism and Islam united to sign the peace agreement for ending the war and achieving World Peace.
Have you noticed that a Korean led the peace agreement?
On January 24, the peace advocate Manhee Lee and the peace mission visited the Mindanao Island in Philippines and had peace walk campaign with about 1,000 religious leaders beyond religion and teenagers.
The peace advocate Manhee Lee made the religious leaders sign the peace agreement after peace walk.
Although this agreement is made by non-governmental power, it affects the Philippines government to admit autonomy of Islam in Mindanao.
Moro Islamic Liberation front must be gradually a catalytic of agreement that means disarmament.
How can they sign peace negotiations?

Manhee Lee, peace leader said that he found main reason of the conflict, Mindanao Island religious conflict so he persuaded the religious leaders.
Ramos ex-president said that Manhee Lee accomplished what hi himself couldn’t do for peace of Mindanao.
After this agreement, Manhee Lee was invited to a government-run broadcasting station PTV and many the press and have told this news.
Peace News from Philippines!
We are proud of Manhee Lee as a Korean.
Everyone has hoped peace and had peace campaigns but the people don’t know how.
We wonder he who knows the way to make a peace will do ahead.!

Messenger of Peace Man Hee Lee has met the two representatives(Islam and Catholic) to sing the Peace Agreement

What did Peace Leader Manhee Lee who is a chairman accomplish for peace agreement of Mindanao ,Philippines ?

Do you know about Mindanao of Philippines:It was a small island where originally Philippines Islamite were living.

During the USA ruled the Philippines, lots of people who believed in Catholics moved into the island ,with its result, the Islams who had lived forced to move the remote area.

Due to this event ,the conflict between Islamites and Christians have been for 40years . Now there are 170,000 victims

So, when the people think about Mindanao , it is thought not a beautiful Island but a horrible area where two religion organizations have been fighting .Peace leader, Manhee Lee and a peace mission visited to Mindanao of Philippines and held peace walking with about 1000 religion leaders and local youth group beyond religion and sects

And that day the peace agreement ceremony in a conference room of a hotel located in downtown General Santos, far-south of Philippines, attended both the representative of Catholic, Ferando Capella former archbishop and the representative of Islam, Esmael governorof Maguindanao which is Islamic autonomous district in Mindanao.

By this agreement, the government admits the right of authority of islam in the island of Mindanao, Moro Islamic Liberation Front became decisive catalyst to agree the last sub-document of agreement of peace to disarm gradually, finally put an end to the conflict for 40 years with it.

The agreement in Mindanao never has been stopped the conflict for 40 years, which is not easy even for president of Philippines.

Chairman of private organization did such a wonderful thing, and it makes world surprised Chairman Lee is a "Korean".

I think that chairman knows sorrow and sadness of war much more than others for a soldier in korean war. that's why he is struggling for world peace.

Everyone can say peace easily.

However, it is not easy to work for peace.

In addition, who works not only for peace in their nation but for world peace perhaps chairman Manhee Lee is the first one.

I'm sure this huge stride which he made will become a model for all over the world.

I hope that there is no more people suffering from war with this kind of wonderful thing. I really want to give applause to what he did as a same Korean.
