Peace caravan and a series of photo exhibits will highlight
this year's celebration of Bangsamoro Week of Peace in the Autonomous Region in
Muslim MIndanao (ARMM).
The celebration will run from March 12 to March 18 in
various spots in the region in and a peace caravan in Quezon City
With the theme “Rekindling Bangsamoro Consciousness towards
Sustainable Peace,” this year’s line-up of activities aims to raise consciousness
of people not only within the ARMM, but also outside, of the history and the
struggle for peace of the Bangsamoro.
Now on its fourth year, the Bangsamoro Week of Peace will
feature three major activities – a photo exhibit in different secondary schools,
colleges and universities in the region, a peace caravan in Quezon
City and the commemoration of the 1968 Jabidah massacre in Corregidor Island
The photo exhibit will be from March 16 to 18 in identified
schools in the five component provinces and two cities of the region. The
photos that will be featured in the exhibit depict the Bangsamoro struggle and
their vibrant culture.
Hanie Bud, general manager of ARMM’s Regional Ports
Management Authority, is overseeing the week-long celebration.
He said a contingent from ARMM, NGOs, religious groups,
peace advocates and Moro groups in different parts of the country will hold a
peace caravan at the Quezon City
Memorial Circle
The one-week event will culminate with the commemoration of
the Jabidah massacre on March 18 in Corregidor
Island
The Jabidah massacre on March 18, 1968 is considered to be a
major turning point in the struggle for self-determination of the Moro people.
The Bangsamoro Week of Peace is a commitment of the ARMM
government to raise awareness on the Bangsamoro consciousness and identity,
mandated under Executive Order No. 11 promulgated on March 2012.
