“For several years, war and conflicts destroyed and claimed many precious lives of our fellow Filipinos in which both sides are losers, but still we don’t learn any lesson from it. So, this time we are calling Albayanos and all Filipino people to give peace a chance to reign in our hearts and in ourselves, and denounce armed conflicts, and become agents and protectors of peace even in its simplest ways,” he said.
