Peace education institute proposed for Mindanao
Aug 12, 2009
from the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines:
In consonance with the peace program of the government, an educational institution for peace is now being sought in order to promote the spirit of understanding, tolerance and peaceful co-existence.
Anak Mindanao party-list Rep. Ariel Hernandez said that peace education is necessary so that the young people will really understand the necessity of peacemaking especially in Mindanao that for decades now have suffered so much violence brought about by war.
Hernandez authored the House Bill 6624 or the “Peace in Mindanaw Academy Act” emphasizing the need for peace education training to the people and communities in Mindanao.
