#WOMENFORPEACE: Soteya Trasadas

Tell us something about yourself.

I was born and raised in the Province of Iloilo, and then I moved to Manila in 2015 to study for college. Currently, I am a 2nd-year law student at the University of San Agustin, Iloilo City. My years of experience and exposure in both conflict and non-conflict zones in the Philippines through TPBPM had strengthened my commitment to working for peace and empowering different sectors of society, especially the children and the youth.

Tell us about your role in TPBPM.

I started with TPBPM as an intern back on April 20, 2015, and after that became part of the Secretariat Team where my first exposure was in Mamasapano, Maguindanao. I am one of the Peace Mission Leaders handling peace education projects for children, youth, teachers, parents, soldiers. I am involved in module writing, facilitating workshops, writing articles, creating content for social media and newsletters as well as organizing our schools and communities.

What are the highlights of your experience with TPBPM?

I have to say that every experience with TPBPM especially when we are doing fieldwork is a memorable one. But if there is one thing that struck me the most is during our 3-hour peace education session in Marawi City at the height of the Marawi Siege. One of the facilitators approached me and introduced a kid to me and shared that he (the kid) idolize me and wanted to be like me when he grow up, someone who teaches other children, especially in their area where conflict and war are thriving. I did not expect that I will have an impact on that child given that we did the session for only 3-hours. My takeaway in that session is that – every moment is very precious as we may leave a mark on every child or person’s life. It was then I fully appreciated one of the guiding principles of TPBPM that we hold into – unless we teach our children peace, someone else will teach them violence. Thus, no time is wasted when we show kindness to every person. It is actually through our actions and words, whether we make or break a person. In those trying times, I am humbled to spark hope and draw inspiration to the child to do something not just for himself but also for the benefit of everyone; it allowed him to have a vision of something he can hold into, something beautiful and peaceful.

What have you learned from TPBPM that you have applied in your life?

I am inspired by the words that before world peace, inner peace. This is something that I believe for we cannot give what we don’t have and attaining inner peace is not absolute and actual but an outcome of continuous practice. Being a peace advocate is not about perfection for compassion with oneself and others will always be tested due to the circumstances surrounding us every day. But at the end of the day, it is us and only we will have control over our thoughts, words, and actions. Our conscious effort and choice, one day at a time will be our source of peacefulness and will radiate to everyone surrounding us as well. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, peace is when your thoughts, words, and actions are in harmony.

What’s your advice for young women who wants to advocate for peace?

As we move towards a more complex society, we need more young women and people to advocate for peace in order to transform the cycle of violence and conflict into a generation of peacebuilders. We need more young and passionate people who will educate the next generation on the art of peaceful living. Teaching peace goes beyond every gender and age. It is high time that we share whatever we have, for every act of kindness is an act of peace.

Peace is when you are able to sit still and have positive thoughts no matter what negativity surrounds you.

BE AN AGENT OF HUMANITY – STREAMLINING UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY

Who we are is humanity.

As we all live in a pluralistic world that takes into account multi-faith,-cultural,-racial (etc) society, it is then when we recognize the stories and journey of other people which best deserved to be untold, revealed, and shared. Experiential learning enables us to see the different perspectives on living our life, which sometimes becomes only a reminder, yet takes a greater stance on how we become part of the said humanity.

I am humbled enough to share with all of you my reflection and takeaway during the International Conference on Cohesive Societies (ICCS) 2019 in Singapore last 19-21 June 2019. As I listen, everything served as an inspiration for me to see the hows and whys of retaining the sole purpose of humanity as we also transcend ourselves in all forms.

TO KNOW ONE IS TO KNOW NONE.

Unfortunately, we live in routinized violence which is a product of our own hatred, prejudice – something that is already inculcated in our system, a process of normalization that causes hatred, biases, prejudices which really needs to be transformed.

It is a reality that in the state of our growing up – politics, faith system, culture, and other preferences affect the totality of our own self. As society sometimes dictates the way we think and behave towards other people. Which, unconsciously shapes how we interact with other people most especially those we consider not identical to who we are.

We then see more of the differences that we have rather than discovering the common grounds that highlights the goodness in every human being.

SEEK TO LEARN TO UNDERSTAND.

Go and learn. Experience as they say is the best teacher. Noting, through our experience we realize that we do better when we speak to each other. This has been proven as I immerse myself in an interfaith, intercultural, and intergenerational organization, school, and communities that we have in Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM). As one of the 6 full-time volunteers of TPBPM, which is a non-profit, non-partisan, and independent organization that spearheads strategic peace education both in conflict and non-conflict zones, it opened the door for me to see not just myself but many pieces of myself in every person that we reach and teach to.

Identity is what we all have; a broken piece of one humanity that stands out independently and uniquely. The sum of all our preferences is what constitutes our identity. Preferences are not just there for nothing; it is something we embrace. Likening oneself means living out our own preferences. However, something that one should not impose on other people.

It is important that we educate ourselves without having compulsions. Giving emphasis on what we always teach ‘going an extra mile getting to know other people’ then we should not praise our own preferences, if you do so you will disbelief any others.

IN THE WISDOM OF BELIEFS, PEACE IS AT REST.

Our differences are imaginary walls that divide us. It is what sets us apart from those we consider ‘others’. Our differences should not be regarded as a problem but part of a solution, when managed properly and accordingly.

One of the things that made me fall in love with Singapore is the fact that they enjoy religious harmony – as they are blessed to have the existence of 10 various religions namely: Baha’i Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism. Seeing all religions exists side by side harmoniously set forth a message that today’s connectivity is founded on a society where everyone should practice absolute respect for one another’s religion (preferences) and for the beliefs one regards as sacred.

INTERPLAY OF ALL -INTERS.

The very core of TPBPM lies at Interfaith, Intercultural, Intergenerational which puts a premium on nurturing the foundations of human resilience – identity, community, and purpose.

In Singapore every -inter is entrenched within all levels, institutions, and policymaking. Giving us an image that it becomes a commodity – to have a balance of individuality and wholeness of the community. Taking into consideration the Philippine geographical setting and context, there is a great need to recognize that everything starts within ourselves and our individuality plays a vital role in shaping our future. Tolerance should be highly regarded as one of the key instruments to repair human infrastructure. We need to confront our own biases, reduce our level of fear, and accept individuality.

The essence of being one human family and gloabl citizenship should be instilled in every hearts and minds.

DIALOGUE, A QUEST FOR SURVIVAL.

“We are one community that depend on each other for survival” a Dharma Drum Mountain precept. In our world today, we encounter different tensions affecting our cohesive society, such as security instability, climate change, exclusion, social media, ignorance, and others – it is then high time that we seek to understand and resolve things altogether – through experiencing human interactions and dialogue.

It is through dialogue that we move towards that supposed constancy and having a sense of consciousness that something is greater than ourselves, allowing room for inclusiveness to take place; reminding ourselves that we have others along with us. By then, we can put a meaningful substance and explanation to our identity as we practice relationship building and highlighting persistent sameness.

As we all live in a diverse world, may we not put labels on everyone as it diminishes the core reason of human existence. May we all live a life that continuously binds illuminates the authenticity of positive human values which I think are instrumental in reducing moral poverty, and in attaining an inclusive, sustainable future.

To understand humanity, there is a greater need to look beyond ourselves – as we all move along the vision of realizing our interconnectedness in a world where there are many communities yet one shared future.

My Peace, Our Peace: Inculcating a Culture of Peace inside the classroom

“I make sure that I share and impart to them [my learners and family] everything I learned in TPBPM.”

It is always a challenge for a teacher to get the attention of the children and sometimes, in order to do so, one employs not so peaceful means of disciplinary action. “Before I became part of TPBPM I am used to say words that might hurt my learners’ feelings. This is one way for me to release my anger and cope up with the stress directed at them.”

It was until she joined the Teachers Leaders for Peace Formation in Boso-Boso, Antipolo in December 2016 that she realized how one’s words and actions have a great impact on the upbringing of a child.

“When I became part of TPBPM and later on, became an I TEACH PEACE Champion, I realized how important to be aware of one’s emotions, how to have some self-control, and why we need to resort to peaceful means of resolving concerns and issues especially when dealing with our learners,” shared Marie.

15625847_1267585129953844_2516055104381096589_o

As an I TEACH PEACE Champion, Marie knows now that children learn best in a peaceful environment where everyone communicates with respect, understanding, and the willingness to listen.

“I am more self-aware now. Every time I get mad or angry, I remind myself that I am a Peace Hero. Then I will try my best to talk to my learners in a calm manner. I also do not say and even do things that can cause fear among my students and also it isn’t a good way to encourage them to listen to me.”

Peace educators are not supposed to be perfect but they are, at least, expected to be role models to their students and catalysts of change inside the classroom.

It is one way of constantly reminding oneself to choose to do good. “I usually remind myself that I am a Peace Hero not just in words but also in actions,”

RAISA MAE MALANG: Humanizing Peace Concepts

“I now have a clear vision of what it [peace] is, of how I can apply it not just in my classroom but also in myself…”

“Before becoming an I TEACH PEACE Champion, I already had an idea of what peace is about but it is only after attending the Teacher Leaders for Peace Formation Session in Davao that I had a clearer vision of what it is, of how I can apply it not just in my classroom but also, in myself,” shared by Raisa Mae.

As a Peace Educator, it is very important to walk the talk. You do not just impose something to your learners. You are also responsible for your own words and actions. This served as a challenge for our I TEACH PEACE Champion Raisa Mae. She often asks herself, “How can I make peace my way of life?”

Raisa Mae can still recall when she used to shout at her students whenever she gets mad. Somehow the way she reacts over certain situations has changed. “If I’m mad, I just sit on the table and when my learners see me do it, they are already aware that I am mad. Then, they keep quiet.” Raisa Mae shared that she is also using Peace Talk, one of TPBPM’s Peace Jargons, which aims to get the attention of learners as it highlights the value of listening. “I made a peace talk but instead of using a ball, I drew a peace sign in an illustration board.”

In her journey as a Peace Educator, Raisa Mae realized how important words are, as it can make or break a person. She added, “Before you say anything, you need to think about it first especially if you are dealing with children.”

As we continue to integrate peace education in our school-community, one must always remember that peace is a way of life and not just simply the absence of war. More than having a knowledge of what peace is all about, it is also equally important that we live accordingly to what we teach.

“I now have a clear vision of what it [peace] is, of how I can apply it not just in my classroom but also in myself…”.png

PEACE MISSION UPDATE: Inspiring children through back to school dream kits

Educate a child and you’ll transform a generation. Education plays an integral role in a child’s life.

More than just making every Filipino child and youth a peace builder, the Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM) Inc. also encourages the young generation to value their education and continue striving for their dreams. Through programs that bring hope and inspiration, TPBPM provides children from conflict areas a safe space to continue dreaming. One of these programs is the “Peace Gifts Project” where school supplies are distributed to various Kapatiran schools. Kapatiran Schools are the model schools of Peace Heroes. It is also a fun-filled day for both the volunteers and school-community, featuring interactive activities with music, movement, and a lot of peace-based values games!

Last March 201, TPBPM launched the Peace Gifts Project. With the support from different individuals, groups, and members of the Kapatiran Support Circle we were able to collect more than 4,000 hope kits – surpassing the initial target of 3,000.

More than just dream kits

“We have been a recipient of the Peace Gifts Project for four years now, and almost all of my children of studied in Hadji Salik ES has been receiving supplies every year. It’s a big help for us because the money we use to buy school supplies, we were able to buy food for our table. We are always excited whenever TPBPM is here because aside from the school supplies, you also bring joy to the lives of our kids. Shukran (Thank you) to everyone who is supporting this mission” according to a parent from HSKES. TPBPM knows the realities on the ground which makes the Peace Gifts Project even more real and relevant. As we build a sense of family-kind relationship with our Kapatiran Schools, it is with a fervent hope that by supporting their education through giving them school supplies, they will continue to go to school and be more inspired to turn their dreams into reality.

PEACE MISSION UPDATE: TPBPM’s Peace Education efforts acknowledged during the Marawi Week of Peace

Marawi City| May 24, 2018 – A day after the first year commemoration of the Marawi Siege, Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM) was recognized during the closing program of Masa’a Kalilintad sa Marawi, Marawi Week of Peace, an effort spearheaded by Joint Task Force (JTF) Bangon Marawi. TPBPM was among the five organizations who were given the award by the security sector, including Tarlac Heritage, Gawad Kalinga Community Development Foundation, Action Against Hunger and Balay Mindanao.

The organization was commended for their continuous efforts during the siege and in helping in the rehabilitation process through conducting different peace education sessions for children and youth.

With the hope to radiate light through sharing positivity, hope, love and peace, two (2) days after the tragic incident in Marawi, Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM) launched the #WEAREONEWITHMARAWI Campaign that engaged people from all walks of life to help our brothers and sisters affected by the crisis in Marawi. TPBPM also ventured into numerous initiatives that cater to their needs especially with the needs of children. From conducting Peace Education Sessions in far-flung municipalities of Malabang, Tamparan, Lumba-Bayabao with an integration of Psychosocial Care, to the distribution of Hope Kits to children.

Through the help of trained I TEACH PEACE Facilitators from Lanao, of whom some are also Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) ‘bakwits’ and security sector personnel, known as the Hijab Troopers; TPBPM aspires to reach and teach peace to children and capacitate various stakeholders of the society to help institutionalize peace education, which all the more is needed for a strategic way of securing peace on a stronger and more sustainable foundation.

With fervent hope, Teach Peace Build Peace Movement working alongside with various stakeholders is committed to helping build a peaceful and resilient Islamic City of Marawi. Indeed and truly, we are, and we will always be one with Marawi.

Unleashing the Artist Facet

As part of the Artist for Peace and Communication Team who is usually responsible in creating more awareness through the different forms of art; I typically volunteer in documenting events and sometimes if, given the opportunity, I become a facilitator where I get to interact with the children, parents, and teachers. Nevertheless, to fully utilize my role, I also do collateral materials and assists in bringing creative output for both the schools and communities and the movement’s program itself – as I became the lead artist in some Peace Murals and taught the children how to draw that is part of the SketchPad Project. This SketchPad Project is a visual diary of the children where they get to share their everyday life, and on the other end, as TPBPM leave it to them for (6) months and will be reviewed, TPBPM will be able to trace the progress of their journey as Peace Heroes. One of the significant achievements that I have is when I get to materialize some Peace Education Materials – the I TEACH PEACE Learning Resources like Tara Na Board Game and the Sila Ay Tayo Educational Set which is also my undergrad thesis as Visual Communication student in UP. The Tara Na Board Game teaches about different religions and culture and the Sila Ay Tayo Education Set introduces our Ayta brothers and sisters way of life. In my journey as an Artist for Peace, it motivates me to do more materials, as I see the children not just enjoy but also learn from it. At a very young age, you already give them an appreciation of what Peace is all about and make them apply it in their own lives.

Before I started in my SCPHFP Journey, I began to question the program’s extent of its range – how far it can go and reach since it started only on a few numbers of school. It would then take a while if we want it to achieve on a nationwide scale. But as times go by and with all the volunteers’ efforts, I find it very effective in reaching out to kids, parents, and educators of a different culture from different communities in the country. Whenever I got the communities that we have, I always see familiar faces. They keep on coming back. Hence, made me realize of the SCPHFP’s potent development bridging cultural gaps that bring people closer as they too embrace intercultural, intergenerational and interfaith approach within their schools and communities.

As SCPHFP continuously grow, I hope that it will be able to reach and touch more lives and communities not just in the country but also on the global scale. To the schools and communities that TPBPM serves, I would like to leave them with a message that despite their current situation, may their dreams not be faded away, but remains hopeful in reaching it [dreams].

My Piece of Peace: Asnaira Bandang

Asnaira Solaiman | Peace Hero Child Ambassador | Maharlika Elementary School

When I was called and selected to be part of the Peace Heroes Child Ambassadors, I was happy, and I thought that it was just an ordinary seminar where we are only going to listen to someone. But as I entered the room, I felt the excitement and particular kind of happiness because there are a lot of new people – who even mingled and interacted, played and had fun with us. That was the time that I knew that I will have a new ‘ate’ and ‘kuya’, who are the TPBPM’s Volunteers. Up to now, they still inspire and motivate us not just to study well and reach for our dreams, but also make us appreciate the beauty of doing good and its impact for a peaceful world. One of my most unforgettable experiences with TPBPM was when we were asked to close our eyes, and Ate Honey was saying something.

All I felt was peace. Ate Honey made us feel the importance of having peace at that very moment. From the day I became a Peace Hero, TPBPM changed the way I live. I met a lot of new people, friends and even improved my relationship with the school community, like my teachers and other schoolmates. But the most significant change that I had was, I already avoid having conflicts with anyone, and getting mad immediately because I realized that no matter what happens, I need to be patient and I need to accept everyone’s differences. I learned during our sessions that no matter what religion a person belongs to, we need to make friends and accept them.

To other kids, who are also involved in TPBPM’s SCPHFP, I hope that you do not fight with each other. I know you can achieve that if you know how to respect everyone – their identity, religion, beliefs, and faith. Let us always remember that no matter how small or big we think we are, it is essential that we get to help other people in the best way that we can; for peace is about sharing whatever we have to others. Let us always remember all the lessons we gained from being a peace hero child ambassador for all of these can help us build a peaceful community.

I TEACH PEACE CHAMPION ( DATU-AR DMALEN): Impact Inspiring Action

Considering that the school is the second home for children, the teachers play a critical role in a child’s life. People call teachers the children’s second parents because of the influence teachers have in children. It also signifies the gravity of their role in shaping how a child perceives life and approaches learning. Teach Peace Build Peace Movement recognizes the critical role of teachers in building a Culture of Peace in schools and communities. Part of the holistic approach to Peace Education is equipping teachers to be part of spreading the message of peace by becoming I TEACH PEACE Champions. In the one-year journey of the Schools and Communities of Peace Heroes Formation Program, the teachers have grown personally as well as improved their teaching strategies.

Mr. Datu-Ar Dimalen, a grade school teacher from Tatak Elementary School in Mamasapano, Maguindanao, shares about his transformation saying:

“I can say that I was a terror teacher, I was friendly outside the classroom but inside the classroom, I hear my students saying that I am a terror teacher, the classroom should always be silent.”

16300161_1318918678153822_24595584494640524_o

Sir Datu-Ar during the Peace Education Pocket Session held last January 27, 2017, in Cotabato City. The teacher has a series of Pocket Sessions after the Main Pocket Session last December 2016.

From that kind of attitude, after being part of Teach Peace Build Peace Movement, Datu-Ar shares that “Because of Teach Peace Build Peace Movement, I experienced change in myself when it comes to motivating children. Before I am a terror teacher, but now I am more approachable and affectionate towards my students”

Furthermore, through SCPHFP, he had a change in perception of a child’s capability, “I realized that the children should not be labeled – that we should look at the capability of each child, because we all have different capabilities, we learn in different ways. In that way the child won’t feel forced and won’t feel lazy to go to school.” In line with the changes in perspective and behavior, Datu-Ar also shares the teachers’ eagerness to integrate Peace Education in their subjects. “As much as we can we integrate peace in the subjects that we teach. Actually, in every subject, we try to integrate peace.”

One of the growth he has observed in his school worth celebrating is the growth of the population of Tatak Elementary School. Before Tatak ES only has 200 students but the enrollment increased which he think because of the involvement of the organization in their school.

20746242_1516009281778093_4639780222603860718_o

The Tatak ES community; parents, teachers, children, community leaders and TPBPM family during the Peace Fair held last August 2017.

The Schools and Communities of Peace Heroes Formation Program brought about different kinds of changes and learnings for the teachers, Datu-Ar’s story proves that the impact of Peace Education means affecting people for personal transformation, altering their way of teaching, and also affecting the improvement of the school as a whole. The journey does not end on impact but instead continues to inspire action, Datu-Ar shares his commitment as a peace advocate saying “Commitment in teaching peace and peace being integrated into the lesson plan is a big challenge. It is a challenge to maintain that commitment, our commitment to you as peace advocates.”

PEACE MISSION UPDATE: A day of fun, a day of giving peace a chance to the children of Marawi

“…in an area where conflict is usually knocking at the back of the door; where bullets and missiles are real and not just seen on TV…” then, the only way to have peace is to teach peace.

Marawi, February 2-3, 2018. Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM) Kapatiran Schools, Balo-i Central Elementary School and Saguiaran Central Elementary School in Lanao del Sur; and Sugod Central Elementary School and Camp Bagong Amai Pakpak Elementary School in Marawi City had a Peace Fun Day wherein almost 1,500 learners ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 6 received peace gifts; experienced and were taught about peace in a fun-exciting way.

The resounding voices of the learners as they give rhythm to Kapayapaan ‘peace’ served as the organization’s inspiration of shedding peace, love and positivity through a Peace Fun Day, a two to three-hour peace education session that gives emphasis on peace as a way of life, in an area where conflict is usually knocking at the back of the door; where bullets and missiles are real.

“Nothing could replace the happiness our learners felt in the care of these peace champions. Alhamdulillah, they have got more than Psychological First Aid Sessions”, words of Teacher Mona Miscille Domato, an I TECAH PEACE Champion from Sugod Central Elementary School. Beyond the material things, we want to give hope to the children that peace is possible and attainable. More than making our dearest Brothers and Sisters happy, we want to teach and inculcate them that as young as they are they can contribute to peace building and key to sustainable peace is in their own hands.

Its all about peace

As an organization that spearheads the Peace Education programs for children both in conflict and non-conflict zones, Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM) Inc. uses innovative and creative strategies such as Music and Movement, Arts, Games, Sports and Service. Giving premium to the peace-values based activities using the I TEACH PEACE Learning Resources crafted by fellow Peace Heroes is Teach Peace Build Peace Movement’s exemplars when conducting peace activities, and nonetheless epitomized during the Peace Fun Day.

Art was surely used to distinctly used for peace. To process the thoughts and ideas of the learner, a SketchPad Project was launched in Sugod Central Elementary School Camp Bagong Pakpak Elementary School. The SketchPad Project serves as a learners’ visual diary wherein it will be given to them and collected after 6 months. Further, as part of the TPBPM’s peace visibility, a peace mural in the Kapatiran Schools were also created.

As a means to end the said activity in every schools, hope kits, stuffed toys, hygiene kits and malongs were given to the learners. These are from individuals, institutions and other sectors of the society, who believed and trusted in the advocacy of the organization, and thus wants to share some act of kindness to our children, brothers and sisters in Marawi.

Despite the challenging realities that are happening in our society, Teach Peace Build Peace Movement family is determined to reach and to teach peace to more children, and live it as a way of life. Then, there is no right time than today to teach peace – to ‘teach peace to build a culture of peace in order to create a different generations of peace builders towards our goal of a just and peaceful society.’ Insha Allah.

Teach Peace Build Peace Movement is an independent, non-partisan, and non-profit organization that aims to make every Filipino Child and Youth a peace builder. The organization spearheads a strategic initiative running Peace Education programs for children in conflict and non-conflict zones using a holistic approach. The said schools are all part of the TPBPM’s Schools and Communities of Peace Heroes Formation (SCPHF) Program, which is a holistic peace education program that was designed to apply creative and innovative ways and approaches in teaching about knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and behavior towards a Culture of Peace. It aims to bring about behavioral change that prevents the transformation of conflict into violence and war.
