On March 26, 2026, the Peace Building and Conflict Resolution Division of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos SOCCSKSARGEN Region, led by Acting Chief Sahania M. Alonto, MPA, under the supervision of Acting Regional Director Atty. Gapor G. Quituar, SCL, MAIS, conducted a one-day Training on Peace Education and Peace Building at the NCMF SOX Conference Room.

The program ran from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and was attended by 12 on-the-job training students from the University of Southern Mindanao–Kabacan, along with NCMF SOX employees.

The training focused on key topics: Republic Act No. 11596 (Anti-Child Marriage Law) and Logotherapy: Theory of Meaning, discussed by Mr. Mohamad Misfer K. Khanakan, RPm, CHRA. Participants were reminded that protecting the dignity and future of every child is both a legal duty and a moral responsibility. Through the lens of Logotherapy, they also learned that meaning and hope can be found even in times of suffering, showing that peace begins within.

The program concluded with the awarding of certificates and a renewed commitment to building a culture of compassion, resilience, and peace. In a world filled with conflict and uncertainty, education remains the strongest tool to shapes minds, strengthen values, and builds a virtuous character that prevents violence and misunderstanding in the society.

‎"Fa inna ma‘al ‘usri yusrā."
‎Indeed, with hardship comes ease.
‎
‎Writing a thesis is one of the most stressful parts of college life—sleepless nights, endless revisions, self-doubt, and moments when giving up felt easier. Yet through every struggle, Allah made a way.
‎
‎It was never an easy journey, but it became a reminder that perseverance, du‘ā’, and trust in Allah turn hardship into growth. Every late night and every challenge carried a lesson, and with them came relief.
‎
‎Congratulations to the Seniors Students of Islamic Law and Jurisprudence! Alhāmdulillāh — Thesis Manuscript Hardbound!
