the tausug have no word for #surrender; but they have four for #shame. if we are to try to #negotiate a peaceful settlement of this armed conflict, it is essential that we (and imperial manila perhaps?) first understand the cultural nuances involved. similarly, when we finally begin the task of rebuilding #zamboanga we should be mindful of the #diversity of the modern zamboangueño: we are multi-colored threads that are woven together to form a beautiful tapestry, connected, interdependent, one. #zambocrisis #peace #prayforzamboanga #prayforpeace (at the aerie)
