LEADERS OF TOMORROW // Youth Leaders Invade Army Camp

From DWDD AFP Civil Relations Service Radio Website (Nov 11): LEADERS OF TOMORROW // Youth Leaders Invade Army Camp

FORT Bonifacio, Taguig City (DWDD) - Dr Jose Rizal, the country’s national hero, was right when he once said, a century and a half ago, that the youth is the hope of the fatherland. This could be proven true when some 40 youth leaders from different parts of the country will troop toward the home of the Philippine Army, here, not for war but to build and win the peace.



Some 35 Rotaract leaders, five students from Assumption College of San Lorenzo Village in Makati City, and 20 Army CMO School Civil Affairs students joined forces for a two-day National Academy for Peace Training, November 7 to 8, held at the Civil-Military Operations School (CMOS) inside the CMOG Compound.

The training aims to build trust, to develop productivity and to further enhance the leadership skills of the participants toward peace building. Chosen theme for the training will revolve on “A Unified Movement of Rotaract Clubs and Soldiers toward Building a Culture of Peace.”

The two-day training was the first to be held in CMOS as an initial activity to bind the stakeholder engagement and partnership between CMOS and Rotaract Club of Kabataang West Rembo. The latter is an umbrella organization of the Rotaract Club of Makati Olympia that will assist in the facilitation of the regular conduct of the Peace Academy for its members all over the country.

Contribute to the training were representatives from the Teach Peace, Build Peace Movement, ARMM Manila Liaison Office, and the Assumption College of Makati City. Co-facilitators for the training were CMOS students taking up the Civil Affairs Course Class 16-2015, for them to experience the conduct of actual engagement with non-government organizations, as well as the staff of the Civil Affairs Division, under Research and Production Center, CMOG.

CMOS and the Rotaract Club of Kabataang West Rembo hope to contribute, through the Peace Academy Program, in molding the Filipino youth and students to really be the hope of the fatherland in pursuing the goals of peace and development across the land. CMOS PA / CMOG / MCAG
