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.
