There is a sound to peace. It can be heard in the voices rising in unison, the footsteps moving simultaneously, and the joy that comes from tranquility.
On September 30, 2026, the campus came together for the "๐๐๐ข๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฃ" National Peace Consciousness Month Culmination Program at Mindanao State UniversityโMaigo College of Education, Science, and Technology (MSU-MCEST), bringing this spirit of harmony to life. The day began with a Peace Parade from the Campus Tambayan to the Student Development Center.
Campus Superintendent ๐๐๐๐. ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฎ๐น๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป ๐. ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ, turned his message toward the students themselves. He reminded them that education is not only about gaining knowledge, but also about becoming people who can contribute positively to their communities. He encouraged the students to carry the values they learn in school beyond the campusโto their families, workplaces, and the communities they will eventually serve.
Messages, performances, and the eagerly awaited speech by resource speaker ๐๐ฟ. ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ ๐. ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฝ๐ต, Executive Director of Mindanao State University's Institute for Peace and Development in Mindanao (IPDM), continued the festivities.
Dr. Latiph's message was centered on the straightforward but impactful notion that governments, organizations, and peace advocates are not the only ones who can bring about peace. It starts with every day. It starts with ordinary people. His message focused on the idea that differences shouldn't always lead to division and that they can be transformed into chances for connection through communication, respect, and understanding.
Their messages revolved around a simple but powerful idea: peace cannot be achieved solely through the efforts of governments, institutions, or peace advocates. It starts with ordinary people and the decisions they make every day. The message emphasized that differences do not have to be divisive, and that dialogue, understanding, and respect can transform those differences into opportunities for connection.
By afternoon, the message had passed from the microphone to the stage through "Tanghal Sining Para sa Kapayapaan."
The program began with a production number and then moved on to "Tinig ng Kapayapaan," "Indak at Kultura ng Kapayapaan," and "Kuwento at Sining ngKapayapaan." Students transformed the theme of peace into music and movement through cultural, interpretative, and unity dances, dramatization, and sabayang pagbigkas. The afternoon also included the Innoband, performances by various student groups, and a Peace Fashion/Creative Showcase by BSSW 1.
The performances became more than just entertainment. Each one provided the students with their own language for expressing what peace might look likeโthrough rhythm, culture, stories, creativity, and collaboration.
The event was made possible through the leadership of ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ณ. ๐๐บ๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐ต ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ, the IPDM Director of MSU-MCEST, ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ณ. ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฑ๐๐ป ๐ฃ. ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฒ, the IPDM Committee Members with the support of Campus Superintendent ๐๐๐๐. ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฎ๐น๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป ๐. ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ, Dean of Instruction ๐๐ฟ. ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐๐ป ๐. ๐๐ฏ๐ฑ๐๐น๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ผ๐ณ, and Director for Administration and Finance ๐๐ถ๐ฟ. ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐บ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ต ๐. ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ฎ, ๐๐. Their continued support and guidance helped make this meaningful celebration of peace and unity possible.
The program concluded with a united thought: ๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ก๐ ๐๐ค๐๐จ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐; ๐๐ฉ ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐จ ๐ฅ๐๐ค๐ฅ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐๐ช๐ฉ๐.
