The government will confer the Order of Sikatuna Award on Indonesian Foreign Minister Dr. N. Hassan Wirajud for his contributions to the Philippine’s peace process, Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo said on Monday.
Wirajud arrived Monday for a two-day visit and will receive the award on Wednesday, May 28, Romulo said.
Wirajud, the current chairman of the Ministerial Committee of the Eight of the Organization of the Islamic Conference on Muslims in Southern Philippines or the QIC Peace Committee for the Southern Philippines (PCSP), has been active as a facilitator in the peace talks between the government and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).
“Minister Wirajud, through his meaningful contributions to our peace process, has endeared himself to the Philippines and the Filipino people. It is but fitting that we give him due recognition for his efforts, which helped advance our peace process, through President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's conferment on him of the Order of Sikatuna,” Romulo said.
A 6.7-magnitude earthquake shook the eastern Indonesian province of Maluku on Saturday (May 24), the meteorology office here said, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

HOLLYWOOD SCENE. Studio estimates say "Indiana Jones" unearthed box office gold at domestic theaters with a performance that puts it on track to become the second biggest Memorial Day movie opening ever. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," grossed an estimated $101 million from Friday to Sunday, plus $25 million from its opening Thursday. Paramount Pictures is expecting to rake in another 25 million Monday.
CHINA QUAKE. Chinese military engineers Monday prepared to dynamite a potentially dangerous "quake lake" created when landslides dammed a river after this month's earthquake in which more than 65,000 people were killed. Authorities are concerned the swelling lake will burst as water from the Jianhe river in Beichuan county in China's southwestern Sichuan province rises behind the earthquake-created dam. More than 30 of the so-called quake lakes were created by the 7.9-magnitude quake that devastated the region on May 12. Authorities want to control the flow of water -- rather than have the dam give way all at once -- by creating a spillway.
