Engaging the pupils in a lively story-telling session on Sept. 21
celebrated as the international day of peace.

The Department of Peace Studies has taken the occasion of September 21 as the day of peace to promote story-telling as vehicle for the promotion of peace consciousness.  On the 21st the Junior Peace Advocates invited a group of pre-schoolers from Malinao, Albay and treated them to a feast of songs, games and story-telling.  Dr. Herbert B. Rosana conducted the story telling sessions.  The story was about the apple tree and the boy.  The bottom line of the story was that there is a need for children to learn to appreciate their parensts, because they are the ones to whom they can lean on for help and support.  After the sessions to further enahnce the experiences of Children, Dr. Rosana proposed that the children be brought to the Zoo not only for recreation but educational purposes as well.  It was indeed a wonderful day for all the kids.

10th Regional Peace Forum Held

The Department of Peace Studies Celebrated the World Day
Peace with a Symposium

The Department of Peace Studies held the 10th Regional Peace Forum with the theme: The Human Face of Conflict: A Reflection on the CARHIL.  This years theme focused on the respect for human rights and how has the CARHIL fared in the fast several years since it was signed by the Government of the Philippines and the CPP-NDF.  This Comprehensive  Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law is a historic document in that the GoP has given generous concessions to the CPP-NDF by signing this document with a non-state actor.  While the CPP-NDF also recognize the need to respect human rights especially in conflicted situations and areas.

The Panel of Resource Persons

The forum was held at Arcilla Hall September 21, 2011 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 p.m. The Commission on Human Rights as represented by Atty Looraine A. Marcaida delivered the main talk while members of the different sectors offered their reflections.  The NGO group was represented by Ms. Tessa Lopez, the public information officer of the Bayan Muna, Capt. Perez of the 901st Infantry representing the Armed Forces, PSupt Wilson C Asueta of the Philippine National Police, and Professor Elaine Salazar of the women's group.  A lively exchange of opinions, ideas and reflections ensued in the open forum.  Many issues were discussed regarding human rights and the occasion provided an opportunity for confidence building measures among the groups.  Dr. Herbert B. Rosana, Head of the Department of Peace Studies noted the importance of the date - September 21, as the International Day of Peace and at the same time the anniversary of the declaration of martial law.  September is also the month dedicated to the promotion of peace consciousness.  Everyone should be made aware of the need to work for peace.

BUCSSP Department of Peace Studies Starts Peace Month Celebration with a Big Bang

The Department of Peace Studies opened the celebration of Peace Month with the celebration of Mass, program and a motorcade.  The month of September through a Presidential proclamation was declared as National Peace Consciousness Month several years ago.  To formally open the celebration the Department held a program and a motorcade.  As Dr. Herbert Rosana puts it: "The program and motorcade will help raise awareness among the people of Legazpi about the need to work for peace."  Awareness is very crucial since it is with awareness that conviction starts.  Every Filipino has a part in making the peace process work.  Hence on this regard the program and motorcade was held with much preparation.  The students prepared banners and balloons.  During the program, Professor Jerry Bigornia, the vice-president for production of Bicol University  spoke in behalf of the President, Dr. Fay Lea Patria M. Lauraya.  Dr. Lauraya has ever since been supportive of the peace advocacy programs of the Department of Peace Studies.  The dean of the college, Dr, Noemi L. Ibo also delivered her inspirational message.  In the evening the students held a party to dramatize their camaraderie and promote peace consciounsess among their fellows and among their guests.
