The first National Peace Convention is set to take place on January 25, 2023 (Wednesday) at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).
More than 1,000 participants are expected to attend from different sectors including lawmakers, university presidents and educators, youth and women leaders, media, religious leaders, and civil society organizations.
The 92-year-old HWPL Chairman will be coming to the Philippines in commemoration of the 9th Anniversary of the January 24 HWPL Peace Day.
What is HWPL Peace Day? The Peace Day has been celebrated annually to commemorate a civilian-led peace agreement signed at General Santos City in 2014 to boost reconciliation among the local communities.
This peace convention aims to establish a roadmap towards the attainment of national unity through peace in consonance with the Marcos Administration’s agenda.
Through this event, a resolution will be presented to President Bongbong Marcos for a possible declaration of National Peace Day – a special working holiday.
The chairpersons of the two host organizations will give speeches during the first plenary session to present the milestones achieved for peace-building at the national and international levels, as well as their plans. Vice President is also invited to speak at this session.

Thank you for this good news! I believe that this will be one of the significant movements for world peace.
This is such beautiful and hopeful news. I was blown away after watching the UK screening of the ‘Great Legacy’ film documentary related to the civil peace agreement that ended the tragic and fratricidal Islamic-Catholic religious conflict in Mindanao. So many people suffered for no reason. News of this Peace Convention truly needs to be spread far and wide, and I will play my part in doing so. Thank you,for reporting this peace news – I hope other media outlets will do the same. Greetings of peace from the UK✌
