We celebrates the National Peace Consciousness Month every September as mandated under Proclamation No. 675 issued in July 2004 by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. The Presidential Proclamation was issued to “instill greater consciousness and understanding among the Filipino people on the comprehensive peace process to strengthen and sustain institutional and popular support for and participation in this effort, as well as in the global movement spearheaded by the United Nations to promote a Culture of Peace based on nonviolence, respect for fundamental rights and freedoms, tolerance, understanding and solidarity.”
This year theme is “Mithiing Kapayapaan: Sama-samang Isakatuparan” the month-long celebration calls for a unified action towards the shared aspiration for a just, comprehensive, and enduring peace regardless of ideology, religion, and culture.
The carrier tagline of this year’s Peace Month is “Peace Na Tayo” a simple way to communicate the theme’s call for a participative pursuit for peace.
