DECLARATION OF COMMITMENT

For greater understanding of Mindanao

We, the Mindanao bloggers, believe in the harmonious and parallel growth of technology and social transformation.

We believe in fostering understanding among the diverse peoples on the island.

We believe in peace in Mindanao through the respect of cultures, beliefs and traditions, and recognize the common aspirations of people.

We commit to continue writing, using the new medium of blogging, as a means of communicating and appreciating the beauty of the people, culture, places, creativity, spirituality, thereby contributing to development and peace in Mindanao.

We commit to share our experiences, dreams, aspirations, fears as Mindanaoans, through the medium known as blogging.

We recognize the diverse points of views in our blogging but we believe we can only foster greater understanding through dialogues, and constructive debate or exchange of ideas online.

We reject narrow-mindedness, religious, cultural and gender intolerance that curtail free expression and dampen our passion to connect with one another and to our land.

In the name of everything that is good, we bind ourselves to this commitment.
