The
DPCW is a comprehensive document that states the role of different
international communities to prevent and resolve conflict and sustain peace
worldwide.
The
organizers were closely working with the Heavenly Culture, World Peace,
Restoration of Light, an international organization that bridge local agencies
and organizations together to foster peace and have inter-religious dialogue
and activities to promote holistic multi-cultural understanding.
This
was strongly supported by the local government of Cotabato through its
officials led by Mayor Atty. Frances Cynthia J. Guiani-Sayadi, members of the
Sangguniang Panlungsod led by Vice Mayor Graham Nazer G. Dumama, and its
various department heads.
As
Cotabato City is considered a melting pot in south central part of Mindanao, it
upholds equality and equity to every citizen that encompass and lower down
differences to nurture a culture of peace.
The
youths, led by local youth group Gallant Adolescent New Generation (GANG),
emphasized that violence definitely will not be the answer to any conflict or
problem. Hence, unity amidst diversity still is a reliable ideology we could
observe and follow.

between the City Government of Cotabato, HPWL, and other agencies and
organizations to continue fostering peace in the city. (HALIMA SATOL / CITY GOVERNMENT,
