In attendance also was a peace activist who has advocated peacebuilding in Mindanao, Lee Man-hee, Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL).

"I was here before and we walked together with students for peace. Let us all become peace messengers. So, let's achieve peace without war in our time and make it a legacy for future generations," he said.

This event was organized by Kutawato Greenland Initiatives (KGI), a non-partisan civil society organization that is committed to fostering a suitable environment for sustainable development with peace, justice, and equality by providing services to the vulnerable and marginalized sectors of the community.
