From the Philippine Information Agency (Sep 22): OPAPP to launch ‘Peace Buzz’ in Caraga region
The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) will launch the Peace Buzz as the main highlight of this year’s Peace Month Celebration.
The Peace Buzz is a peace caravan that will roam nationwide to bring the government’s peace initiatives on the ground. The Peace Buzz will kick off in Baguio City, and will make stops in the cities of Quezon, Legazpi, Catbalogan, Butuan, Davao and Iligan. It will conclude its journey in Marawi City, in time for the closing ceremony of the Peace Month.
It is expected to arrive in Caraga Region on the 26th of September 2017 with the peace advocates, resource speakers and some OPAPP executives on-board the bus.
“In support of this activity, we also identified several activities in Caraga region that are anchored to the Caraga Roadmap for Peace. These activities are expected to raise awareness of the communities, through our media and local communicators, indigenous people (IP) leaders and women's sector on the following main topics: Updates of the Philippine Peace Process; The Comprehensive and Agreement on Respect to Human Rights – International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL); and The Roles of Women and Indigenous Peoples in the Peace process and Community Peacebuilding,” said Allan Almoite, Manager of Area Management Team of Northern Mindanao.
Pursuant to the thrust of the Government to instill greater consciousness and understanding among the Filipino People on the comprehensive peace process, the month of September was declared as the ‘National Peace Consciousness Month” by virtue of Proclamation No. 675 dated 20 July 2004. The Proclamation mandates the OPAPP to be the lead government agency to coordinate and monitor the observance of the National Peace Consciousness Month.
“Puso para sa Kapayapaan, Magkaisa para sa Bayan,” is the theme for this year’s celebration of the National Peace Consciousness Month.
