Modernization
Peace efforts and modernization will go well together. Peace and development are compatible with each other. All outmoded approaches, scientific knowledge and technology are a bane to peace. All corruption without regard to growth and progress are harmful to peace. But all of these also apply vice versa. The choice is all ours to make.
Mindanao peace overtures
Ms. Corazon Soliman (erstwhile of the Philippine social development sector now of DSWD), Atty. Hector Soliman , Mr. Rolando Modina, Mr. Boy Ridao, Sol Botictic among a few others, started in depth discussions and initial community-based social action on the concept of community based resolution of conflict and keeping the peace in the grassroots. The beneficient fund groups from Switzerland supported the activity.
Centre di Humanes et Societas, Inc. took over from where Ms. Soliman and co. left this noble undertaking at. Credit is due to Ms. Soliman and company for envisaging such a valuable insight into how hostilities at the very grassroots level can be resolved.
Certainly, the real tasks are a very tall order and it involves extensive and intense social engineering: empowerment of the masses, strengthening their determination and resolve to be able to literally dictate their own welfare and future. A future that must be peaceful, orderly, stable, secure and thereby prosperous. The experience of PNP General Edgardo Ingking in Region VI when he was a local commander as told by him personally, touches largely upon grassroots led peace initiatives. These kinds of experiments can be replicated with more and more positive features being added along, constant shifting of paradigms and parameters for introducing and sustaining peace into and within the grassroots communities.
Hopefully, new overtures will be made in Southern Philippines in the next coming days. It is hoped that such actions will lead to a lasting peace in that part of the Philippine Islands.
To the unsung heroes that will launch and sustain these undertakings in Mindanao, we say, hurray and more power to all of you! May your actions be blessed with success and may your tribe increase thousandfolds!!!

Peace initiatives
A long time ago, the United States Security Council undertook a project with its pilot being in California, to educate members of a community to band together to form an alert, vigilant body that would aid each other in providing help, getting immediate police response, securing emergency technicians during medical and health crises, among others.
This was done by deploying a capable group of social development experts with key specializations in community organizing, forming and harnessing social networks that provided the key role in molding the pilot project communities.
Results from the project were highly positive. This kind of model will be adapted in the Philippines through the effort of the Philippine National Police and the active involvement of stakeholders in the communities all around the country.
