STORY: Muslims from Mindanao traveled to Manila on Sunday to hold a vigil near the presidential palace, a day before the signing of a peace agreement between the government and the country's largest rebel group.
Around 2,500 peace deal supporters, including Muslims, Christians, joined the overnight vigil in the capital.
The deal ends a 40-year conflict that has killed more than 120,000 people and hampered development in the resource-rich Mindanao region in the southern Philippines.
