Welcome to eMindanao! |
|
This site is a gateway to information on the history and contemporary
events in Mindanao. It features the rich but divergent cultures and traditions of Muslims, Lumads, and
Christians. Such history, however, is both colorful and checkered, sometimes conflictual but otherwise
peaceful. Despite these seeming contradictions, Mindanao is a promise land to all. Its potential for
growth and development remains vibrant as ever.
eMindanao also serves as a forum of exchange and dialogue on the conflict and attendant peace
process going on in this region, as elsewhere. With it, one learns the dynamics of social interactions
between Muslims and Christians, and what is in store for them.
It takes you to a journey into cyberspace for a harvest of digital resources, mostly web-based articles
and books, images, and other materials housed like in a one-stop shop. We have created an online library
to make accessible such resources, bringing remote archives or local repositories within easy reach.
This much we do in the name of bridging cultures and promoting peace.
