This is a photo of a Philippine Army soldier working his way to serve the children by supervising them to line up for the gift giving activity. The children received new clothes, shoes, books, and even toys in a far-flung area in Mindanao, thanks to the support of our generous stakeholders.
The children had suffered and was deprived to live normally because of an armed struggle in Mindanao caused by NPA bandits who constantly try to deceive and exploit them for their selfish cause.
Children who experienced being in the middle of the armed conflict experienced traumatic events which made them feel uneasy with strangers, especially our soldiers. However, when our soldier initiated a smile which portrays good intention of peace, nothing can be more welcoming than receiving a warm smile in return!
Our soldier's all over the country work their way to promote a smile of peace through Bayanihan efforts. Our soldiers [The Philippine Army] and fellow people [Stakeholders] continue to pursue a growing culture of sharing peace together.
I am a soldier of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, I am a catalyst for peace!
Support our people's cause, be a stakeholder.
