Thousands of Muslims are expected to participate in the three-day peace caravan in Sulu province in the southern Philippines beginning July 18, says Governor Sakur Tan. The peace caravan, he says, will be held in coordination with different national government agencies on orders from President Gloria Arroyo in an effort to promote peace and development in Sulu.

Governor Tan says the peace and order situation in the province is improving; a month after a Filipino television news crew was kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf while on its way to secretly interview one of its known leader Radulan Sahiron. Governor Tan appeals to journalists not to interview or glorify the Abu Sayyaf group. (Mindanao Examiner Photo)
