Among the activities scheduled to be held starting Thursday are the holding of the peace caravan and prayer for peace by the religious group known as “Tablig,” Hayudini said.
He said the gathering of the religious leaders is aimed to promote peace in the province of Sulu, which had been battered by violence perpetrated by Abu Sayyaf bandits.
He said the Tablig intends to spread peace in its own ways as this is the best way to achieve the longing peace and progress, especially in the province of Sulu.
He said the Wesmincom is providing security to the participants during the conduct of the religious activities purposely to prevent and protect the religious leaders and participants from any threats or incident that may happen while their activities are ongoing.
Dolorfino said the Wesmincom will also provide Navy boat to transport the hundreds of participants from the province of Sulu back to Zamboanga City.
Hayudini said the Wesmincom is hopeful that the four-day event will help positively in the promotion of peace, in the conflict areas. (Bong Garcia)
