Posted to Kalinaw News (Mar 29, 2021): Negros Occidental Multi-Sectors Hold ‘A Day for Peace’ Program
CAMP PERALTA, Jamindan, Capiz –Various government and non-government organizations in Negros Occidental gather at the Provincial Capitol Park to call for peace on Monday, March 29, 2021.
At about 8:00 A.M, the program dubbed as “A Day for Peace’ commenced through a Peace Caravan participated in by multi-sectors. A Prayer for Peace followed at the Provincial Capitol Park at 9:00 o’clock in the morning. The Prayer for Peace highlighted the unity of multi-sectors with one vision; peace and development for the people of Negros. The program was made possible through the effort of Negros Occidental Provincial Government, City Government of Escalante, Army’s 303 rd Infantry Brigade, and Philippine National Police.
Girl Scouts of the Philippines-Negros Occidental, Provincial Council for Women, Peace Net, Negros Occidental Schools Division, Association of Negros Producers Inc., Provincial Alliance of Capitol Employees, and Provincial Liga ng mga Barangay were among the sectors that took part in the said program.
In his solidarity message, Negros Occidental Governor Eugenio ‘Bong’ Lacson admitted that we are living in the world where the prospect of peace seems distant and obscure. Yet, Jesus promised to give us peace. “As we wait His promise, let us starts sowing the seeds of peace by allowing our savior to reign in our hearts as we seek to be peace makers. If we wish to be such catalyst, we must turn to God with humility and ask His spirit to give us wisdom and to make us understand so that we will come to Him with motives that are honorable and righteous,” Governor Lacson further said. He ended his message by thanking all the participants who came and shared their peace prayers.
For his part, Colonel Michael Samson, Acting Commander, 303rd Infantry Brigade, lauded the multi-sectors for showing the true essence of harmony by sharing their peace prayers for Negrenses. “Peace is everybody’s business. The government forces cannot make peace happen without the support and cooperation of every Filipino. We can achieve peace if we continue to do our share. And, I am glad that our multi-sectors in Negros are doing their part. With you as our partners, peace in the island is within our reach,” Col. Samson said. The program culminated through a recessional song ‘Heal the World’ performed by Negros Occidental Singing Ambassadors (NOSA).
