THE DEPARTMENT OF PEACE STUDIES of the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy of Bicol University, celebrated the month of Peace with series of activities. On September 6, 2010 the Department as spearheaded by the Junior Peace Advocates held a motorcade within the vicinity of Legazpi City and the Municipality of Daraga, Albay. The objective of the motorcade was to make the people of Legazpi aware that September is the national peace consciousness month.
The entire experience was enjoyable for all the students of the Department. The activity was supported by the student body and everyone was excited to join. wearing the departmental t-shirts the students proudly shouted slogans of peace. They carried with then white and blue balloons, the traditional colors for peace. After the motorcade many students gave us the feed back that the entire activity was a resounding success.
