I am now in Cebu to start a 19-day (11-29 Nov 2007) trip to the Visayas and Mindanao. My other stops are Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Marawi, and Cotabato.
I am traveling with a team from the Communication Foundation for Asia (CFA) and our job is to do a traveling exhibit called “Dear Peace”. The exhibit is the output of a peace camp entitled “Impressions of Conflict, Expressions of Peace” held early last year in Antipolo. The participants of the camp were Muslim and Christian high school students of Ramon Avanceña High School in Manila. During the five-day camp, the 29 participants were given crash courses on essay-writing, watercolor painting, ethnic music, photography, videography, and theater arts. The purpose of the camp was to empower and encourage the participants to become peacemakers through creative expression.
The mobile exhibit features the artistic works of the participants, i.e. videos, essays, paintings, and photographs. Another important part of the exhibit is the showing of a 30-minute video also titled “Dear Peace”, which documents what happened before, during and after the peace camp. I co-directed and co-edited the video docu with Sheila del Mundo. The script was written by the participants themselves.
We will set up our exhibits in malls, schools and religious institutions.
pads, let me know when your in davao. id love to check out your exhibit and maybe i can show you around town.
Father! Please drop by Xavier University High School – Ateneo de Cagayan!
Drop me an email! Thanks!
The video is very moving and it gives us hope for a better world.
It teaches us
not to discriminate, but to be sympathetic;
not to be judgmental, but to be understanding;
and to open our minds and our hearts with respect to our fellowmen. Through these, we will have our chance to live in harmony and in unity.
Congratulations to CFA on this project and I pray that more people will be able to see your video. More power to all the people involved in this project. God bless!

dear father Stephen,
I was trully awed by this video, coz Im quite interested about your processes in the entire film making. You see father, I’m always thriled with computer graphics and video tricks and movie hints and everything that has to do with a camera, whether still shots or ambulatory. Movie making simply tickles my fancy at times. The audio was great too, though echoes went banging inside the church every so often. This is a fantastic effort! And i bow to you Padre!
Congratulations father! It was splendid!
