Hundreds of Muslim women wearing hijab (veil covering the head and neck) and belonging to the Young Muslim Professionals Network (YMPN), as well as representatives from the Philippine Commission on Women and the Armed Forces of the Philippines, gather in front of the People Power Monument along Epifanio Delos Santos Ave. (EDSA) in Quezon City before the start of the “Hijab Run for Peace” on Sunday morning (Oct. 14, 2012). They carried a banner printed with the words “We all want PEACE!” The event was organized to show their support for the historic signing of the framework peace agreement between the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in Malacanang on Monday (Oct. 15).
