Awardee of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines, Archbishop Antonio
J Ledesma, SJDD, opens and unfastens the intimidated potency of student leaders
in its role of practicing intercultural dialogue in Mindanao during the Region
X Youth Hours 2016 on February 6 held at Performing Arts Theater, Mindanao
University of Science and Technology.
The Archbishop emboldens
the selected youth to deepen its sense of leadership by giving reverence to the
different cultural expressions to the Tri-people of Mindanao. He also made
mention about how joining religious services of your fellows is a form of
appreciation and respect to their religion and its doctrines; that it is what
we need now.
Moreover, he raised
how the issue of BBL (Bangsamoro Basic Law) advanced a lot of expectation of
those involved and eventually became a source of disappointment when it was not
favoured by the Philippine congress.
Everybody in the
hall was inspired to make peace happens starting from the grass roots. As
leaders of the community, one should learn to be sensitive and become peace
builders. It is because of ignorance, prejudice and jealous that there is conflict.
He ended his speech saying “If we learn to understand the deep context of where
we are, then we can have the elusive peace in Mindanao”.
