Residents flock to polling precincts to cast their votes on January 21, 2019 in Cotabato City, southern Philippines. Nearly three million Filipinos in region of Mindanao are voting in a plebiscite which could pave the way for lasting peace at the country's Muslim-majority southern region and place them under a substantially more autonomous regional government. Based on reports, Monday's plebiscite on the Bangsamoro Organic Law could provide a political solution to decades of fighting between Islamist separatists and the Philippine army which has left at least 120,000 people dead over years of violence.
