Masbateña Educator is Grateful
Dr. Noemi Alindogan, Cagayan de Oro-based professor with roots in Ticao Island, Masbate (Dr. Medina was the Founding Chairperson of the mainly-Academe-based Lambat-Liwanag Network for Empowering Paradigms.): Thank God that a very good friend of mine, Prof. Ed Aurelio Reyes, started a peace advocacy project in my native province, Masbate.
I'm from San Fernando, Masbate but I decided to settle for good here in Mindanao as I felt so desperate and so all alone to work on a project like what Ed has just launched today. Actually, my dream for my beloved Masbate has found fulfillment at Misamis Oriental State College for Agriculture and Technology where I am presently working. It was only last Friday, July 30, when we launched with a big bang, the Gender and Peace Learning Center which I put up for the College. During the program, I presented the Vision, Mission and Goals of the Center and the activities I have scheduled for implementation for this School Year. I brought up my almost 200 books on gender and peace for our resource and research unit.
I will also be conducting regular seminars on gender and peace for the faculty and students which include the children from the Higaonon tribe. Sayang, dapat sa Masbate ko gagawin lahat yan kaya lang, pinanghinaan ako ng loob sa mga nangyayaring hindi makatarungan na para bang wala nang katapusan. Kinakailangan pang si Ed Reyes na taga Zambales pero ipinanganak sa Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental ang makaisip kung paano umpisahan ang pagsagot sa hamon ng panahon.
Maraming salamat, Ed sa pagsindi ng sulo na siyang magsisilbing tanglaw para sa pagkakaisa ng sambayanan tungo sa kapayapaan. Mabuhay ka, Ed at kayong lahat na nakikiisa sa paghasik ng mga kaisipan at gawaing pangkapayapaan para sa Masbate. Ito si Noemi Clemente Alindogan- Medina, tubong Ticao, Masbate

Moderator: Thanks so much for your message, Dr. Noemi. Although I would have been so proud to claim having started this project, i have to clarify that I am just assisting it. Hindi po ako ang nag-initiate ng laudable project na ito, kundi ang best friend kong si Ms. Hyacinth R. Merioles, at ako ay tumutulong lamang, bilang isa sa kanyang mga tagapayo at katulong dito, at ang inilunsad ngayong on-line forum na proyekto ng "www.Peacecamp-Masbate2010" ay isa sa partikular kong assignments sa PeaceCamp project.
Ms. Merioles, an International Studies graduate of Miriam College in Quezon City, is a proud Masbateña. And Masbate has big reason to be very proud of her, too.

Christian: Tama!

Brave attempt… doable
Melo Acuna: It's a brave attempt to put all the killings behind but place the persons responsible before the bar of justice. That would be a great lesson for all.
Friday at 8:58pm
Moderator: You're right! But at least, let's try to unify minds and hearts about what is right and what is wrong on the peace question, and motivate all to be peace advocates. Mahirap na rin iyon, pero mas doable for everyone.
