| Summary/Abstract |
Differentiating perpetrators of violence in Mindanao is difficult given the number of criminal actors in the area. Against the backdrop of Islamist insurgent groups regularly engaged in battles against the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) causing fatalities and confusion, peace negotiations between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) have faltered. The clear distinction between insurgent and criminal activities is increasingly blurred as militants profit from once-traditional criminal activities and criminal groups engage in operations of the kind once reserved for insurgents.

| Summary/Abstract |
The cessation of the governmental offensive to eliminate key figures of the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in 2009 imparted fresh impetus to the peace process in Mindanao, Philippines. Recent clashes have resulted in large-scale and ongoing displacement. This stalemate, together with the end of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's Presidential term, has revived concerns about the future dynamics of the Bangsamoro struggle. An important dimension in this is the 'voluntary' nature of the participation of children and young people in the ranks of the MILF, sanctioned and often encouraged by their families and community. This presents an interesting contrast to the predominant literature on child soldiering that seems overly aligned with the coercive recruitment and related trauma-healing axis. In this article we examine the role of identity, ideology, the family and community in this presumed voluntary participation of children and youth in the MILF, in order to refine the linkage between recruitment experience of children and youth and their reintegration outcomes, and prescribe more appropriate reintegration interventions for youth in scenarios of participation sanctioned by family and community.

| Summary/Abstract |
The year 2007 was typically turbulent for the Philippines. Violence-plagued mid-term elections produced a stinging defeat for President Arroyo's Senate team, while corruption scandals spurred another impeachment attempt. The economy was relatively robust, but concerns remain about the country's fiscal health and the long-term effects of a strong peso.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 2008 the big developments in the Philippines were the signing of a historic and controversial agreement with Muslim rebels, the subsequent scuttling of that agreement by the Supreme Court, and a resumption of hostilities between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). Meanwhile, the embattled Arroyo government worked to respond to a series of economic and natural disasters.
