ILIGAN CITY, Lanao del Norte, Philippines — Peace advocates welcomed the concurrence by the House of Representatives of the four amnesty measures issued by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. last month.

Deputy Speaker Omar Yasser Sema of the Bangsamoro parliament said they were also looking forward to the amnesty grants to help transition former Moro rebel leaders into politics.
