The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), through its Peace and Development Office (PDO), launched a series of Peace Symposium Caravans to celebrate National Peace Consciousness Month in various parts of the country.
Navy Captain Norsal D. Dimaporo, Chief of AFPPDO, reaffirmed the AFP’s role in promoting peace, especially during the shift from internal security to territorial defense, urging personnel to be catalysts for peace.
Subsequent symposiums were hosted on September 10 for Air Education Training and Doctrine Command in Lipa City, Batangas, September 12 at the Philippine Army’s Training and Doctrine Command in Capas, Tarlac, and on September 17 at the Naval Education, Training, and Doctrine Command in San Antonio, Zambales.
The final event is scheduled for September 23 at the Philippine Military Academy in Baguio City.
AFP Public Affairs Office Chief Colonel Xerxes Trinidad said these initiatives reinforce the AFP’s commitment to raising awareness of the peace process and fostering collective efforts for a stable and secure environment.
