SNAPSHOTS | MAR DE PAZ: Awareness Campaign on the West Philippine Sea

One of the activities under CAMINO DE PAZ 2026: Walking the Path of Peace ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Yesterday, September 17, the Ateneo community gathered for an afternoon of learning and reflection on the West Philippine Sea โ€” an awareness session encouraging informed and responsible conversations on the issues that affect our nation, our communities, and our shared future.

From the unveiling of our West Philippine Sea informative visual material โ€” led by Fr. Ernald Andal โ€” to a firsthand talk from our resource speaker, Ms. Edilyn Joy D. Uson, JD, CivHr. to a heartfelt video message from fisherfolk advocate Roberto 'Ta Dodoy' Ballon โ€” this activity reminded us that peace also means safeguarding what is rightfully ours.

MAR DE PAZ was made possible through the partnership of the Social Awareness and Community Service Involvement (SACSI), and the Freshmen Formation Program (FFP). Our thanks to both offices for mobilizing our students and standing with us in this advocacy โ€” and to everyone who paused, listened, and chose to learn something new.

Because to walk the path of peace is also to stand for justice, for truth, and for the seas that sustain our people.

Today, the Bangsamoro votes for its first Parliament. The Social Development Unit of the Ateneo de Zamboanga University joins our neighbors in hope and in prayer.

Every ballot cast today carries decades of patience behind it, and the belief that peace is something a people can choose together. May that peace hold through the voting, the counting, and the days that follow.

We pray for the safety of every voter, for honesty among those entrusted with the count, and for calm in every community. And whatever the results, we pray for the long work that begins tomorrow, the work of building a Bangsamoro that is just, peaceful, and home to all its people.

Every September, the country is invited to pause and remember that peace is not an event; it is a way.

Today, the Ateneo Peace Center joins the nation in welcoming National Peace Consciousness Month. Here in Zamboanga City, where languages, faiths, and histories meet in a single street corner, that invitation feels less like a theme and more like a task.

This month, we walk it together.

Watch this page for more updates. The road opens soon. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

The Ateneo Center for Culture and the Arts (ACCA) will be conducting โ€œArt Healing: When Words Are Difficult, Let the Colors Speak,โ€ a three-day open art activity that will provide members of the ADZU community with a safe, welcoming, and creative space to express their emotions through painting. The activity aims to encourage emotional expression, self-reflection, and healing through the arts, while fostering a supportive environment where participants can freely explore and communicate their thoughts and feelings without the pressure of finding the right words.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽParticipants will not be required to explain their artwork or share their personal experiences. The canvas will simply serve as their own spaceโ€”a place where they can pause, reflect, express, and allow the paint to communicate what they may not be able to say.

The goal is to create an open and accessible space where everyone can contribute in their own way, whether through a detailed painting, a simple brushstroke, a meaningful color, a symbol, or an abstract expression.

Today, the Ateneo Center for Leadership and Governance joins the nation in remembering former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., 43 years since his assassination.

Ninoy's decision to return home in 1983, despite the danger he knew awaited him, remains one of the most profound acts of courage in our history โ€” a sacrifice that helped restore Philippine democracy and continues to inspire generations to serve with integrity.

As an institution committed to forming principled leaders, ACLG honors his legacy today and reaffirms our commitment to leadership grounded in courage, conscience, and service to the Filipino people.

May the words of Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. inspire us each day to continue to serve the country and live with integrity as we commemorate his death and heroism today.
