EXAMINING
THE SCALE. (Left) Radzmir Hassan and (right) Nasil Tawasil of
the Livelihood Enhancement and Peace (LEAP) Program inspect a weighing
scale to ensure that the equipment functions properly. The equipment
is provided for the 50 former combatants of the Moro National Liberation
Front (MNLF) in the Pangapuyan Island in Zamboanga City who farm seaweed
in a 46-hectare area. The equipment will help the farmers determine
the correct weight of their harvested seaweed before shipment to nearby
markets in Zamboanga City. The LEAP Program is a USAID-financed project
that provides former MNLF combatants the means to farm corn, rice
or seaweed, in support of the 1996 peace agreement between the MNLF
and the Philippine Government. It is being implemented in collaboration
with the Mindanao Economic Development Council (MEDCo).
