LANAO DEL NORTE, Philippines – Students from Kapatagan town here aired their voices on various issues especially on the peace situation in Mindanao.

In a public speaking confab Friday, student representatives took turns in expressing their thoughts to promote awareness on the ideals of peace.

Spearheaded by the Army’s 35th Infantry Battalion and the Department of Education, the event was the first time that Lanao students uttered their voices on the most critical issue involving Mindanao.

“This is my dream as an educator to give the students the opportunity to exhibit their communication skills,” said Mary Arlene Carbonera, district supervisor of Kapatagan East District.

For his part, 1Lt Francis Damian, commanding officer of 35th IB’s Charlie Company, said the activity aimed at isolating the students from insurgent recruitment scheme.

“This activity was done as part of the Sundalo: Kakampi ko, Mahal ko concept wherein we integrate the academe’s approach to achieve the military objective,” he added.
