PEACE HERO KIDS: ( CRISTINA ) For the Love of Peace and Nature

“Ano ang kapayapaan para sa’yo?” (What is peace for you?)
“Masaya.” (Happy.)

This is how our birthday celebrant, Cristina, viewed peace before she started participating in Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM). She just turned 15 years old last 21 April, our first day of Peace Mission in Porac, Pampanga. Cristina has been with TPBPM for almost three years when she became one of our Peace Heroes Child Ambassadors and I must say, she still has that unique view of what peace is.

I was expecting her to answer that peace is about non-violence and reconciliation, but Cristina surprised me with her notion of peace. For her, peace is related to happiness.

More than that, Cristina also knows that peace is related to our environment. Cristina hopes that the people in her community, Sapang Uwak, will unite and keep the environment clean. When asked for her message to her fellow youth who are interested in peace, she reiterated the importance of keeping the environment clean. She shared, “Sana, gusto kong kami yung maglilinis, kahit hindi mga barangay. Gusto kong kasama ko mga kabarkada ko, kami maglilinis sa aming barangay.” (I wish that we would be the one cleaning, and not just the people from the barangay. I want to be with my friends when we clean our barangay.)

Having studied peace during college, Cristina reminded me of the different perspectives about peace, and how it comes in various forms. Peace can be found not only in people but also in nature.

A good example are the Aetas in Porac, Pampanga who were affected by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991. Now, Sapang Uwak hosts PEACE KAMP (Pinatubo Eco Adventure & Cultural Enclave, Katutubong Anak ng Mt. Pinatubo), which welcomes people to experience outdoor survival packages, guided by the Aetas themselves. It hopes to empower the locals by sharing their skills and talents while keeping the environment free of conflict.

As mentioned by Conca, Carius and Dabelko (n.d.), “As a peacemaking tool, the environment offers some useful – perhaps even unique – qualities that lend themselves to building peace and transforming conflict: environmental challenges ignore political boundaries, require a long-term perspective, encourage local and nongovernmental participation, and extend community building beyond polarizing economic linkages.”

Even United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who acknowledges the indispensable relationship of environment and insecurity, has called for integrating relevant environmental factors in U.N.’s conflict prevention strategy. Cristina might only have a slight idea about the impact of thes environment in peacebuilding but soon, she will realize that her small gestures of taking care of the environment plays a big role in her peace journey.

Our little ball of sunshine continues participating in TPBPM with the hope of discovering and learning more about the organization.

“Ano ‘yong birthday wish mo?” (What’s your birthday wish?)

“Wish ko sana pong tuloy-tuloy ang aking pagsasayaw, at gusto ko pong palagi kayong (TPBPM) pumupunta dito. Gusto kong makasama ko kayong lahat. Gusto kong walang nag-aaway at walang gulo po. ” (My wish is to continue dancing, and I want you (TPBPM) to keep going here. I want to be with all of you. I hope there will be no fighting and disorder.)

Peace Education: Transforming the Human Soul

transcend
(v.) to surpass or go beyond the range or limits of something.

When people ask me what the Teach Peace Build Peace Movement is all about and what we do as peace advocates, “transcend” is one word that could best represent and answer that. ( Credits to Ate Apple during the Peace Kwentuhan Session)

We transcend the conventional ideas of what education is. It is so much more than just sharpening the mind and training it to be academically competent. It is so much more than just memorizing the multiplication table or understanding what e=mc^2 is.

Education, specifically peace education, is all about transforming the human soul and mind and developing itself through values formation. It’s seeing the peace that is innate in each and every person and using that as a tool to bring forth understanding and unity in society.

If we continue to nurture our children of today, strengthening their inner peace, teaching them about peaceful living, in turn, they will one day transcend the future we envision. They will create peace in the most unbelievable ways we can imagine. They will bring together people of different generations, different backgrounds, different races, different beliefs and appreciate one another for what makes them unique. They will fill the world with love and respect, so much so that it resolves all forms of conflict.

They will make the impossible things possible.

There is great opportunity for a brighter future, but we can only hope and dream so much. We need to act and form today’s young and imaginative minds into the potential leaders and peacemakers of tomorrow who will transcend. Transcend all biases, transcend all conflicts, transcend all misunderstandings.

Despite the many things that keep me busy in school, I am always refreshed and recharged in heart whenever I see these kids grow more and more into the peace heroes we wish for them to be. They inspire me to continue the mission of creating a culture of peace and live it everyday. These kids prove that peace can come from anyone and begin with anyone.

Peace is not easily accepted by all but truly, all are accepted by peace.

FROM PAINTING MURALS TO TEACHING PEACE THROUGH ART

Service comes in different forms. Some in forms we do not expect, while some we think we are not yet ready to undertake. In most cases, and in the best of cases, we unknowingly take the first step.

Louise Nuñez first got involved with Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM) in 2014. Together with fellow volunteers, he worked on the EDSA Peace Mural as one of the lead artists. There he met some of the members of the organizing team, TPBPM Founder and Executive Director Bai Rohaniza Sumndad-Usman or Ate Honey and Major Genesis Gabrido who was then part of the 7th Civil Relations Group.

OF STARTING POINTS AND BEGINNINGS

To purposely engage and connect with different communities, TPBPM conducts peace missions with its volunteers. Peace missions help volunteers have an in-depth and firsthand understanding of the organization’s initiatives and partner communities.

Louise recounts his first memory of a peace mission. It was in May 2016 during a Summer Peace Mission in Porac, Pampanga. While sharing his artistic skills, Louise interacted with an Aeta community and taught kids in the uphill village of Barangay Sapang Uwak for four days. He showed the kids how to draw as part of the organization’s SketchPad Project Workshop. Louise got to know them better and eventually formed a closer bond with the community.

In an interview with Louise, he described what he felt during his first peace mission: “There was a lot of fumbling and uncertainty at first but, I have grown to love [kids] because teaching them has been an ecstatic experience. We would go to different places to teach and the kids were really excited for us to return.”

“I thought I was a boring teacher but, I saw the kids were really eager to learn. I was so conscious but they were really happy and energetic so I had to match their energy. Through their drawings, I learned their narratives which made me love them more.”

“At first, I thought painting murals was my only contribution to TPBPM which at first, I felt was not enough. I really thought that I would only be exposed to painting since I was not yet immersed with the other activities of the organization.”

When asked what surprised him about working with TPBPM, Louise shared, “TPBPM helped me discover myself more. I realized I wasn’t only set to make murals or to become a lead artist but, I can also facilitate. You could feel TPBPM’s trust even though you are new.”

He added, “It was really surprising to know that I was able to do things that I haven’t done before like facilitating or speaking in front of people.”

THE PEACEBUILDER LIFE: WORKING WITH TPBPM

TPBPM works with different organizations and sectors to promote peace and impart values and knowledge on how to be effective peacebuilders. After Louise’s peace mission with the indigenous peoples of Porac, Pampanga, he also engaged with soldiers of the CMO School during their Peace Journey. Peace Journey Sessions is a program where peace heroes from different sectors, ages and faiths embark on a journey of self-discovery, reflection and learning more about other religions, cultures and stories. Activities include fun games and reflective sessions that emphasize the importance of building a Culture of peace with oneself and with others. Each module is tailor-fitted according to the needs of the participants.

Recounting his experience of facilitating the CMO School’s Peace Journey, Louise shared, “Kat encouraged me to go to the Peace Journey in CMO. She trusted my capacity to facilitate. After I facilitated, I became more interested in volunteering and in joining Peace Journey sessions and peace missions.”

“When I work with Kat, I learn how to really articulate and explain what we teach about peace. I was able to relate love to soldiers; that their heart is in serving the nation.”

“Before, I knew soldiers as really tough people but I also realized that these soldiers are really serious and committed in the things they do. At that point, I also asked myself if I was serious in what I was doing, that I also need to be serious in what I say and in how I act.”

ON THE CHALLENGES OF ADVOCATING FOR PEACE AND PEACE EDUCATION

As with every initiative, there will always be challenges. Louise recognizes the challenges but still keeps an open mind and believes that people should be more aware in order to do more.

“Encouraging others is a challenge because it’s a process. There are some people who seem really great at first and are committed but, then they leave. People have different levels of commitment especially when what they know is limited.”

Louise also shared one of the challenges in peace missions: “When the people have already gotten closer to you, it’s sad to leave students and community members after the peace mission. It’s difficult to leave. We want to come back and see them. It’s sad to think that when you return, there is a possibility that they might not remember your name.”

In volunteering, Louise was asked what his friends and family said when they found out about his involvement with TPBPM. Louise recounted their reaction: “Talaga? They would tell me that I don’t look like I teach peace education. I tell them about Marawi. They would ask about the place. I also tell them about giving food to street children in Cubao. When you give, you’d think that you’re losing something but the truth is the giver also takes something with him. It’s happier to give. There is so much joy regardless of the gift’s value. I realized that this is really true: it’s better to give than to receive.”

Regardless of varying perceptions and questions, Louise remains committed to TPBPM and its peace advocacy.

“I support TPBPM because of Ate Honey. When I met Ate Honey, I saw that she is really serious in her work of spreading peace. When she speaks, you would really know that she speaks from the heart. She is the founder who established the image of TPBPM. People in TPBPM have it in their hearts to spread peace,” said Louise.

He added: “I also joined different organizations before. It did not work for me. In TPBPM, we have a mission that we take seriously.”

SHARING THE ADVOCACY

Louise has been with the TPBPM family for four years and has also served in various capacities from painting picturesque murals to teaching kids how to utilize art for peace. Through different initiatives and peace missions, he has met other motivated and passionate volunteers in the organization.

He mentioned, “Chloe inspires me, she’s like a small version of Ate Honey. It’s inspiring that she brings her advocacy everywhere, even in school. I’m inspired by her willingness and courage to spread peace. She also uses her talent to spread peace.”

When asked about what he wished other people knew about TPBPM, Louise shared, “TPBPM accepts everyone in the organization. When we helped in Marawi, I want people to know that we are a non-government organization; that we are non-partisan.

We have the heart of a volunteer. Our intentions are clear.”

Teacher Raihani: A Teacher for Peace

It is very important that we capacitate our teachers in integrating peace into their lesson plans. Our children need a peaceful environment in schools and we must act even in our own little ways to make it happen. Teachers are the bridges of peace in their own communities, in our country, and in the world and it is very vital that we support and encourage them in teaching peace in their own classrooms.

Watch the story of Teacher Raihani Salido of Tatak Elementary School ( Mamasapano) on her peace journey with the Teacher Leaders for Peace Formation Program last December.

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].

Building a Peaceful Home: A Parents for Peace Reflection

Before I became a Parent Ambassador last 2016 I already knew TPBPM because my eldest daughter is actively engaged with the organization’s programs but when I was selected to be part of the Parent’s Formation Session and SCPHFP as a whole, all I thought was for it to be a simple parenting seminar. When I first attended, I just told myself that it is for compliance; but never expected that it will have a significant impact in my life – personally and in keeping my family’s good relationship.

The way I discipline my children and to be a good parent are some of the things that I learned in my SCPHFP Journey. In our house, especially my husband, he practices ‘face the wall’ but during my sessions in SCPHFP, I learned that it is much better to apply the ‘face-to-face’. As a parent and as a human being per se, I am not perfect, and sometimes I can’t avoid giving punishments towards my kids; but I also learned that as much as possible, we need to discipline our child most peacefully and positively.

Based on this context, I learned how to value communication and having a dialogue with my kids. More than giving and sharing about peace to us parents and to our children, you also give happiness. Whenever we talk in our house about TPBPM, all we can remember are good memories, which creates pure and genuine smiles that fill our place. With all the good and happy memories that we have, TPBPM is there. Whenever we have school activities, the organization is always mentioned if you are going to be with us and/or join us. Both Maharlika and TPBPM developed a sense of belongingness, that we are all part of one big family; that no matter who you are – rich or poor, Christian or Muslim, black or white, TPBPM will welcome, embrace and accept you. For my kids, whenever you are here, conducting an activity, my children always go home with a big smile. They share with us what they have learned and what your activity was all about.

“As a parent, I am happy because there is a support system, which helps build my child’s inner peace that I never thought of before. I remember Dr. Usman’s words, that when a child has inner peace which they gained at home, no matter where that child is, s/he will bring it anywhere and will reflect in the way they behave and act.”

For me, while they are young, we need to invest and create that ‘inner peace’ within them. I realized that more than just attending the said sessions and workshops, I came into building better relationships. We in the family are now closer, and my kids are far more open to us. I also always share with other parents that I am a member of TPBPM, and that I am proud to be a Peace Hero and Parent Ambassador.

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: TEACHERS – LEADERS AND BEARERS OF HOPE TOWARDS BUILDING PEACEFUL COMMUNITIES

“As educators, we are the key in promoting peace to our learners… we hold the key in transforming them into holistic individuals that will soon be peace advocates in their own community.” I TEACH PEACE Champion, Raima Cabaro shares during the Formation Session for Teachers.

Davao City, January 30, 2018 – Teachers are deemed as one of the most important influences in a child’s life but rarely recognize their role in peace building. Teacher Raima Cabaro shares that she has realised that educators are the key in promoting peace. As individuals who are part of shaping the lives of their learners, they too have an important role to play in shaping learners to be proactive peace builders in their communities.

As Teach Peace Build Peace Movement (TPBPM) pursues the second year of their flagship model program, Schools and Communities of Peace Heroes Formation Program, six selected schools from Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, and Lanao del Norte were gathered for the Formation Session for teachers with the theme Teacher Leaders for Peace: Beginning a Journey of Creating a Community of I TEACH PEACE Champions. The schools selected were Pidsandawan Elementary School, Sapakan Central Elementary School, Balo-i Central Elementary School, Saguiaran Central Elementary School, Sugod Central Elementary School, and Camp Bagong Amai Pakpak Elementary School. Each school has been selected with the help of several partner institutions.

Each community and school has a different story and hold different experiences. The Formation Sessions are designed for the context of each community; it covered several topics that helped the participants cultivate inner peace and equip them will skills of conflict resolution, conflict transformation, proactive citizenship peace building, and resiliency. It has also covered topics that will help teachers on peaceful classroom management.

One of the esteemed speakers mentioned that they are not only peace educators but peaceful educators as well. I TEACH PEACE Champion, Mona Domato from one of the selected schools from Marawi City has shared that in being a Peace Champion,

“It is when we desire not only our own inner peace and happiness but as well as of others; it is when we dream and hope of an environment full of love, respect, and unity.”

This has proved that being in a conflict-affected area does not mean they have succumbed to the negative realities that armed conflict brings but rather they are bearers of positivity and hope for their community to make peace a reality, especially for children who are affected by different forms of conflict.

The participants have also gone through sessions on introspection and reflection. In these sessions, the participants were able to strengthen their relationship with their co-teachers as they learn deeper about each other. Their strengthened relationship has not only made them closer but also made them understand each other’s stories better and they have gained a better perception of their challenges as individuals and as a school and how they can transform these challenges into opportunities for transformation.

The Formation Session did not only aim to impart knowledge but more importantly build a community upholding the values of a family relationship; sharing to the participants that beyond making their schools conducive for learning, it is also necessary to make it a peaceable learning school and environment for learners; and a place where the school community can be proactive peace builders and pursue growth as one community.

Teachers have a great role to play beyond imparting academic learning, it is also to foster peaceful relationships among the members of the school community to build progressive and peaceful communities.

The journey does not stop after the Formation Session but rather it is just the beginning, together with the Kapatiran Schools. As each school and each teacher developed a Peace Education Development Plan, this will strengthen each schools’ commitment towards making Every Filipino Child and Youth a Peace Builder. One Child, One School, and One Community at a time.
