Catbalogan-based 8th ID vows to ensure success of peace process

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 21): Catbalogan-based 8th ID vows to ensure success of peace process

As the entire country celebrates National Peace Consciousness Month, the Catbalogan-based 8th Infantry Division announced that it will do everything in its power to ensure that the peace process proves successful.

This was stressed by 8th Infantry Division chief-of-staff Col. Divino Rey C. Pabayo, Jr., during flag-raising ceremonies Monday.

“The administration of President (Rodrigo) Duterte has already walked the extra mile to achieve peace. His intention to permanently end the armed conflicts requires the support and participation of the stakeholders," he added.

Proclamation No. 675 declares the month of September of each year as National Peace Consciousness Month. This year’s theme, “Tayo ang Pagbabago, Tayo ang Kapayapaan! ”, centers on “us”- tayo realizing our roles in pushing for change and peace.

"Now is our time to own the process our ownership of the peace process begets durable peace agreements. Working for peace is always a joint effort between our government and our people. Our peace and development roadmap directs us to a shared peace and prosperity," Pabayo added.
