When we define peace, we often think of simple answers: the absence of war, absolute harmony, or a society without conflict. But peace is much deeper than silence after violence or the absence of armed confrontation.

Peace is also about how people live with one another despite differences. It is about choosing dialogue instead of violence, understanding instead of prejudice, and respect instead of hatred.

Every September 21, the world observes the International Day of Peace. It is a day that reminds us that peace is not something we should remember only when conflict happens. It is something that must be practiced in our everyday lives.

Conflict itself is not always the problem. People will disagree because we come from different backgrounds, beliefs, experiences, and perspectives. What matters is how we respond to those differences. A disagreement can be settled through conversation and understanding, or it can become worse when people choose anger, discrimination, misinformation, and violence.

This is why peacebuilding is a shared responsibility among us.

Peace should not be left only to government officials, peace negotiators, organizations, or community leaders. Students, teachers, families, young people, and ordinary members of the community also have a role in building peace.

Sometimes, peacebuilding happens in simple ways. It happens when we listen before judging someone. It happens when we respect another person's opinion even when we disagree. It happens when we stop ourselves from spreading false information. It happens when we speak against discrimination and when we make sure that people who are often ignored are also given the chance to speak.

For communities that have experienced conflict, peace carries an even deeper meaning. The silence of guns does not automatically mean that a community is already at peace. People also need justice, security, opportunities, trust, and a sense that they belong.

This is why the International Day of Peace should not be limited to posters, programs, slogans, or social media greetings. Its message should continue even after September 21.

As students and members of our communities, we may not have the power to end every conflict. But we have control over how we treat other people, how we respond to disagreements, and how we use our voices.

Perhaps peace begins there.

Not in grand speeches, but in everyday choices.

Not only in agreements signed by leaders, but in the willingness of ordinary people to understand one another.

As we commemorate the International Day of Peace on September 21, 2026, may we remember that peace is not simply something we hope for.

It is something we help build.

And peacebuilding is a shared responsibility among all of us.

COLUMN | Is Unity Still Alive Among the Bangsamoro People?

Simula noon hanggang ngayon
Iisa ang naging layon
Magkaisa at magbuklod
Kagitingan ay marubdob ๐ŸŽถ

We, the Bangsamoro people, hear and sing these words from the BARMM Hymn during flag ceremonies and formal occasions. They remind us that despite our differences, we share a common purpose and a common homeland.

Pagkakaisa.

To stand side by side for the greater good. To set aside differences for peace and progress. This has been the dream, the struggle, and the goal of our people for generations.

However, as reports of violence, intimidation, and election, irregularities emerged during the first BARMM Parliamentary Election, one cannot help but ask: Is our purpose still the same? Is pagkakaisa still live among us? What happened to the unity of the Bangsamoro People?

The first BARMM Parliamentary Election is undeniably historicโ€”not only because it is the first of its kind, but because it introduces a system of governance different from the national and local elections we have long been familiar with.

Unlike the usual elections where we directly vote for positions such as President, Governor, Mayor, or Councilor, the parliamentary system allows Bangsamoro voters to elect members of the regional parliament. These 80 elected members will then choose the Chief Minister, who will lead the regional government.

For the Bangsamoro people, however, this election means more than simply choosing political leaders. It represents years of struggle, peace efforts, and hope for genuine self-government. It is an opportunity for our voices to be represented through a regional institution created for our communities and our diverse identities.

This was supposed to be more than an election. It was supposed to be another step toward building a government that brings the Bangsamoro people together.

Yet, the historic election was accompanied by troubling incidents that seem to contradict the very spirit it was built upon.

In Cotabato City, election-related violence before and during voting resulted in deaths and injuries. Gunfire was also reported at the Cotabato City Central Pilot Elementary School, where an explosion later injured a voter. The commission on election placed Cotabato City under its control following the violence.

There were also reports of damaged vehicles outside a polling site, while in Maluso, Basilan, COMELEC discovered pre-shaded ballots in 36 of 68 precincts and placed the municipality under COMELEC control.

These incidents are not merely election-day stories. They force us to reflect on what kind of political culture we are building. We fought long and hard for this unique system but now, we see our own people turning against each other simply because of different political belief.

How can we speak of unity when political differences become reasons for hostility?

BARMM is home to people with different identities, communities, tribes, faiths, and backgrounds. Yet, we share one region and participate in one political system. Our differences should not erase our responsibility toward one another.

The purpose of an election is not to prove which group is stronger. It is to give people the freedom to choose their representatives.

Our vote should not be silenced by fear.

Our differences should not become reasons to harm one another.

And pagkakaisa should not disappear simply because we choose differently.

Let us also be fair: millions of voters cast their ballots peacefully, believing in this process. Many leaders and workers worked hard to ensure order. The dream is still alive in many hearts. But we cannot ignore the wounds inflicted by those who chose violence over democracy.

The first parliamentary election may be historic, but history alone does not guarantee progress. The true measure of this new political chapter will also found in how we treat one another when we disagree.

Ika nga ng ating himno, โ€œMagkaisa at Magbuklod.โ€

If we truly believe in the meaning of pagkakaisa, then it must exist beyond the words of a hymn.

It must exist in our actions.

Because unity is about choosing to stand together despite our differences.

Magkaiba man ang ating paninindigan, iisa pa rin ang ating bayan.

Every sixteenth of September, we are called to remember a quiet guardian that resides fifteen to thirty kilometers above our headsโ€”an invisible veil of molecules that has never demanded our attention, yet without which, life on this planet would cease to exist. The ozone layer is neither loud nor proud; it does not announce itself with thunder or spectacle. It simply endures, absorbing the sun's most lethal rays so that we may walk beneath the sun without being consumed by it.

World Ozone Day is not a celebration marked by fanfare, but a solemn recognition of the fragile boundary between survival and devastationโ€”a reminder that the most essential protections are often the ones we cannot see.

What makes this day significant is not merely the science behind it, but the story of what humanity nearly lostโ€”and what we chose to save. In the twentieth century, armed with good intentions and ignorance, we pierced the very shield that sheltered us. Aerosol cans, refrigerants, and the quiet hum of industry sent chemicals drifting upward, carving a wound into the sky that grew with each passing year. Yet when the truth emerged, the world did not turn away.

One hundred and ninety-seven nations, divided by language, ideology, and ambition, found common ground beneath a threatened sky. The Montreal Protocol of 1987 stands as one of the most remarkable acts of collective responsibility in human historyโ€”a quiet revolution written not in blood, but in policy and hope. Today, that wound is healing. Scientists tell us that by the year 2066, the ozone layer may be whole again. That is not merely an environmental forecast; it is a testament to what humanity can achieve when we choose to care for something greater than ourselves.

And so, this day serves both as a eulogy for what we almost lost and a hymn for what we managed to keep. It is a reminder that we live beneath a blanket of our own makingโ€”one that we once tore and then chose to mend, stitch by invisible stitch.

Let us not mistake this recovery for permission to be careless again, but rather let it stand as proof that the world does change when enough people decide to protect the unseen.

The next time you step into the sunlight, pause for a momentโ€”just a single momentโ€”to acknowledge the silent sentinel above you. It asks for nothing in return. It only asks that we remember.

Literary Piece l ๐‘จ๐’“๐’† ๐‘พ๐’† ๐‘ป๐’“๐’–๐’๐’š ๐’‚๐’• ๐‘ท๐’†๐’‚๐’„๐’†?

Are we truly at peace?
I have asked myself this question many times.

But after witnessing the first Bangsamoro Parliamentary Election, I found myself asking it differently:

Have we truly achieved the essence of peace?

September 14, 2026 was supposed to be historic. For the first time, the Bangsamoro people were choosing the members of their own regular Parliamentโ€”a moment born from decades of struggle, negotiations, displacement, loss, and the sacrifices of people who once believed that perhaps there could be another way besides war.

It should have felt like the fulfillment of something.

Instead, for me, part of it felt like a reckoning.

Lives were lost. People were wounded. Fear once again found its way into communities that had already known too much of it. Authorities recorded several suspected election-related incidents, including violence that killed three people.

And somehow, amid all the noise surrounding politics, alliances, positions, and power, I could not stop thinking about the people who came before us.

The mujahideen who sacrificed years of their lives for this struggle.

Some left their families.

Some lost their youth.

Some carried weapons because, during their time, they believed it was the only way their voices would ever be heard.

And some never lived long enough to see the Bangsamoro people finally holding ballots instead of bullets.

The creation of the BARMM did not happen overnight. It emerged from decades of armed conflict and negotiations, including the 2014 peace agreement between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the Philippine government. The parliamentary election represented another stage in that long transitionโ€”from armed struggle toward democratic self-government.

That is why seeing violence surrounding an election meant to symbolize that transition hurts differently.

It makes me wonder:

Ano ba talaga ang ipinaglaban nila?

Was it so that one day the Bangsamoro could finally govern themselves?

Was it so that Moro children would inherit something better than the fear their parents and grandparents had known?

Was it so that our people could finally experience dignity, justice, and peace?

Or have we reached a point where the struggle for the Bangsamoro is slowly becoming a struggle over who gets to hold power?

I do not want to believe that all those sacrifices were wasted.

Perhaps that would be unfair to those who gave so much.

Because peace was never supposed to mean that conflict would magically disappear the moment an agreement was signed or a parliament was created. Maybe peace is more difficult than that. Maybe putting down the gun was only one part of the struggle.

Maybe the harder struggle begins afterward.

The struggle to resist greed.

The struggle to choose service over position.

The struggle to disagree without killing one another.

The struggle to remember that political power in the Bangsamoro was never supposed to become a trophy for those who could seize it, but a responsibility toward the people whose suffering made this political space possible.

That is why the question continues to disturb me.

Are we truly at peace?

Because peace cannot simply mean that the mujahideen are no longer in the mountains.

Peace cannot simply mean having a parliament, political parties, elections, and government offices bearing the name Bangsamoro.

These things matter. But institutions alone cannot carry the meaning of generations of sacrifice.

Peace must also be visible in the way we treat one another.

In the way we compete for leadership.

In the way we accept defeat.

In the way those who win understand that public office is not possession.

And most importantly, in whether ordinary Bangsamoro people can finally live without becoming collateral damage in somebody else's pursuit of power.

Perhaps the first parliamentary election should not be remembered only for who won and who lost.

Perhaps it should also force us to confront a more uncomfortable question.

After spending generations fighting for the right to govern ourselves, what kind of people will we become now that the responsibility is finally in our hands?

The mujahideen fought believing that the Bangsamoro deserved something better.

Now that ballots have replaced much of the battlefield, the responsibility of proving that their sacrifices meant something no longer belongs only to those who fought.

It belongs to us.

Because perhaps the greatest betrayal of their sacrifice would not simply be losing an election.

It would be forgetting why the struggle existed in the first place.

So again, I ask:

Ano ba ang ipinaglalaban natin?

Para ba talaga sa kapakanan ng Bangsamoro?

O para lamang sa pansariling interes?

Maybe the answer to that question will also answer the one that has been haunting me all along:

Have we truly achieved peaceโ€”or have we only changed the battlefield?

Sa pambansang antas, madalas nating sinusukat ang demokrasya sa sigla ng ating mga halalan at sa kalayaan ng ating pananalita. Subalit ang tunay na lakas ng demokratikong sistema sa Pilipinas ay nasusukat kung paano natin binibigyang-boses ang mga komunidad na matagal na naitabi at kung paano isinasalin ang mga reporma sa totoong kapayapaan.

Ang mga kasalukuyang hakbang tungo sa higit na awtonomiya sa ilang bahagi ng bansa ay nagsisilbing buhay na patunay na ang demokrasya ay isang patuloy na proseso ng pakikipagkapwa at pagsasama-sama. Hindi lamang ito tungkol sa pagpili ng mga pinuno bawat ilang taon; ito ay ang tuloy-tuloy na pagbuo ng mga institusyong iginagalang ang pagkakaiba-iba ng kultura, binibigyang-katarungan ang kasaysayan, at nagbibigay ng tunay na kapangyarihan sa mamamayan upang hubugin ang sarili nilang kinabukasan.

Bagamat may mga hamon at kabagalan sa mga prosesong pampulitika at pamamahala, ang pagpili sa diyalogo sa halip na kaguluhan ay ang pinakamalakas na pahayag ng demokratikong prinsipyo ng bansa.

STATEMENT OF CONDOLENCE AND CALL FOR JUSTICE

When another student loses his life, we are left with more than grief. We are left with questions.

The MSUโ€“Maguindanao community stands in solidarity with the family and loved ones of Al-Abid Abdulcarim Datumulok, a second-year BSBA student majoring in Business Economics at Mindanao State Universityโ€“Main Campus, whose life was cut short following a tragic vehicular collision on September 9 in East Basak, Malutlut, Marawi City.

Al-Abid was a son, a brother, a classmate, a friend, and a student with a future ahead of him. His passing has left his family grieving, his classmates mourning, and a community asking for answers.

But perhaps this tragedy should leave us with a more difficult question: โ€œWho should be held accountable?โ€

The call for justice surrounding Al-Abidโ€™s death should not be dismissed as anger born from grief. They are also a call for the truth to be established. The reported circumstances of the collision, including allegations of reckless driving, deserve a fair, impartial, and through investigation.

Justice, however, must not be confused with revenge

The circumstances must be established through proper investigation, evidence, and due process. The Constitution, under Article lll, Section 1, guarantees that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. This principle matters not only when determining the rights of those accused, but also because genuine accountability requires the truth to be established through a fair legal process.

If the investigation determines that negligence or reckless conduct caused the collision, then those found legally responsible must be held accountable under the law.

But beyond the question of who responsible lies another question: โ€œ How many students must lose their lives before road safety is treated with the seriousness it deserves? โ€œ

Students should be able to travel to school, return home, and move through their communities without having their lives placed at unnecessary risk.

Al-Abidโ€™s passing cannot be undone. No punishment, apology, or compensation can bring back the future he should have had. But his death can still remind us of the responsibility that comes with every decision made on the road.

As we mourn the loss of Al-Abid, let us remember that grief must not end in silence. His death should remind us of the value of every studentโ€™s life and the responsibility to keep our roads and communities safe.

Remember His Life. Demand Accountability. Seek Justice.

Sa unang pagkakataon sa kasaysayan ng ating bansa, isang bagong kabanata ng demokratikong pamamahala ang ating masasaksihanโ€”ang kauna-unahang BARMM Parliamentary Election ngayong 14 ng Setyembre 2026.

Hindi lamang ito isang ordinaryong halalan. Ito ay bunga ng mahabang paglalakbay tungo sa kapayapaanโ€”isang paglalakbay na hinubog ng mga pakikipaglaban, sakripisyo, at pangarap ng maraming henerasyon ng Bangsamoro. Sa likod ng araw na ito ay ang mahabang proseso ng pakikipagkasundo sa pagitan ng Moro Islamic Liberation Front (M**F) at ng pamahalaan, na nagbukas ng panibagong landas tungo sa sariling pamamahala at pagkakaisa.

Ang kasaysayang ating nasasaksihan ngayon ay hindi nabuo sa isang araw. Ito ay hinubog ng pawis, luha, at mga buhay na inialay para sa hangaring makamit ang self-determination at self-governance. Ang ๐˜‘๐˜ช๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ o pakikibaka ay sumasalamin sa mahabang paghahangad para sa dignidad, pagkilala, karapatan, at isang kinabukasang may kapayapaan.

Bagamaโ€™t ilang ulit na naantala ang halalan, hindi nawala ang pag-asa. Nanatiling buhay ang matagal nang hangarin para sa kapayapaan at ang pangakong itaguyod ang kinabukasan ng Bangsamoro. Sa bawat pagkaantala, muling nasusubok ang ating pagtitiis; ngunit sa bawat pagsubok, mas lalo ring nahuhubog ang ating paninindigan na ang kapayapaan ay isang bagay na dapat pangalagaan at ipaglaban.

Ngayon, nasa kamay na ng mga botanteng Bangsamoro ang isang mahalagang bahagi ng kinabukasan ng rehiyon. Sa pamamagitan ng kanilang pagboto, maipapakita nila ang kanilang karapatang pumili ng mga lider na tunay na maglilingkod nang may dangal, integridad, pananagutan, at malasakit. Hindi lamang pangalan ang kanilang pipiliin, kundi mga taong pagkakatiwalaan nilang manguna sa pagsusulong ng kapayapaan, pagkakaisa, at kaunlaran ng Bangsamoro.

Ang halalan ay higit pa sa isang araw ng pagboto. Ito ay isang pagkakataon upang patunayan na ang kapayapaang matagal nating pinangarap ay dapat samahan ng responsableng pamamahala, aktibong pakikilahok, at pagkakaisa ng mamamayan.

Nawa'y maging mapayapa, ligtas, malaya, at makabuluhan ang kauna-unahang BARMM Parliamentary Election. Nawa'y manaig ang tinig ng mamamayan kaysa sa pansariling interes, at ang paglilingkod kaysa sa kapangyarihan.

Sa araw na ito, ating alalahanin ang nakaraan, pahalagahan ang kapayapaang mayroon tayo ngayon, at sama-samang hubugin ang kinabukasang nais nating ipamana sa susunod na henerasyon.

Ang The Scribe, ang opisyal na estudyanteng pamahayagan ng Mindanao State University-Maguindanao, ay nakikiisa sa panawagan para sa isang mapayapa, ligtas, malinis, at makabuluhang halalan.

Every September 8, we celebrate International Literacy Day โ€” a reminder that literacy is more than reading and writing. It is a key to knowledge, opportunity, confidence, and a brighter future.

Literacy empowers people to express themselves, make informed choices, and actively contribute to their communities. It reminds us that everyone deserves the chance to learn, read, and grow.

This September 8, let us make literacy a shared responsibility. Read a book, share what you know, teach someone to read, and inspire others to keep learning. Together, let us turn every page into an opportunity and everylearner into a voice forchange.
