I am in favour of that (joint Philippines-US exercises), so this crisis can end, because the crisis in Basilan has been happening again and again, without an ending. So hopefully, these Americans can help, and civilians will be spared.

STORYLINE:
The women of Yakan village in the southern Philippines have been weaving all their lives.
This art has been passed on from generation to generation, and is a tradition that the Yakan tribe would like to keep alive.
This is why women, young and old, can be seen working together to weave one of the finest cloth that the country produces.
Jalinan Ilul has been weaving since she was a child. Now she is teaching her daughter to master the craft.
Using cotton yarn, the women painstakingly work to put together colourful handicrafts, ranging from a small coaster to a long table cloth, and even to mobile phone cases.
It is not an easy job. Depending on the size, it could take up to a week to finish a piece. The women spend at least three hours a day - with a brace to help support their backs, working on the weave.
Thirty families now live in Yakan village in Zamboanga, but their roots are from the Yakan tribe of nearby Basilan island.
Fighting between government soldiers and then secessionist group the Moro National Liberation Front, forced these Yakan people to flee Basilan and relocate their families to Zamboanga in the 1970s.
While weaving was just a favourite pastime when they were still in Basilan, the women made it their main source of livelihood when they arrived in Zamboanga, and together they established what is now known as Yakan village.
The village of Yakan is a must-see stop for most tourists visiting Zamboanga.
But while many admire the beauty and craftsmanship of the products, business has not been good these days.
More than 30 years since they left Basilan, government soldiers are still fighting Muslim rebels in the island.
Serge Ilul, president of the Yakan village community association says, the fighting in Basilan has scared off all the tourists, and has severely affected their business.
Ilul hopes that the American soldiers, who have arrived in Zamboanga for joint military training exercises with Filipino counterparts, can help put an end to the crisis.

ZAMBOANGA YAKAN WEAVING COMMUNITY
ZAMBOANGA [YAKAN] WEAVING COMMUNITY: When we learned that the Yakan weaving tradition is already dying in Zamboanga because the weavers are getting old and young members of the tribe are becoming less interested in the craft, we launched the BEAGIVER Jr. Weavers Program as an initiative to preserve this beautiful culture.
We offered the youngsters scholarship that covers their school allowance, school materials and weaving equipment and supplies. In return, the parents commit to teach their children the art of Yakan weaving during weekends, or after school. The parents also have to commit to keep their kids in school. We currently have 22 Jr. weavers [boys and girls] under this program.
On the average, the young weavers can now make around 300 pesos a week from selling their crafts, more than enough to add to their weekly school allowance. We also buy their end product and use as a material for our bags.
This program is made possible because of givers who support our products at beagiver.com.ph, partners and stakeholders who are with us in our cause.

Yakan Cloth Weaving in Basilan
Yakan Cloth Weaving in Basilan
History 3 (yakan tribe)
Never in my wildest dreams did I picture my self out wearing something I am not used to before the curious eyes of many people. Yes, indeed I have worn Yakan costumes many times before given that I was born and raised in Isabela City Basilan. But never have i ever roam around the town alone with the said attire.
There is this uneasy jittery butterflies i am feeling the moment i first took a step outside our boarding house. I expected people to judge me based on how I look. I already prepared my self from judgemental gaze because I am the type of person that cowers away when someone is staring. But then again I have to finish the task and so I hesitantly took a ride to the city proper.
During the ride, I constantly receive stares from my co-passengers. Most of them eyeing me from head to toe maybe wondering why I was wearing something unusual. In my second ride going to my destination I encountered trouble. I was about to ride the jeepney but it scampered away when I approach it. I am sure the driver saw me, maybe he just thought I wouldn't ride. When the passengers heard I said ay they automatically signalled the driver and said naay musakay. I was very thankful given that it is so much of a hastle searching for a ride during rush hour.
The mall was my first go to because I know I would meet a lot of people and there is a great chance that I could get a lot more reactions from them. The lady guard was kind enough to greet me and smiled. Upon entering the mall, I immediately went to Watsons because I also need to buy something. The camera was already rolling when the guard approached and informed me that it is prohibited to record inside the store. I explained why I was recording but she stand firm with what she said and so I went out. I dont know what their rules are but I once was able to record inside the store for other subject's requirement and no one even cared that I was in fact recording.
After the guard incident, I went to many more different stores and got a casual stares and glares. Some with smiles, some with eyebrows up and many didn't even spare me a glance. Roughly 98% of the populate didn't care about what I wear and I realized that people are slowly getting open minded. It may be because many are getting educated about the Muslim/Lumad people or may be they already practiced the idea of not minding other people's business. Either way, atleast i saw a difference. No matter how small that change is it is still a significant change.
At the end of the day I concluded that respect is a necessity. In my opinion, I would rather not be accepted but is respected than the other way around. We cannot always please the people around us. We cannot force them to accept us, yes, everyone deserves acceptance from the society but let us be real. We do not have the same mindset. The least we could do is to respect one another despite of our broad differences. Always keep in mind that respect is the key towards massive change.
That would be all, thank you for reading ????
