Various Christian-Muslim groups are joining a peace caravan on Saturday along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City to promote peace, and not war, and in support of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s call to resolve differences among nations through peaceful ways.

According to the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF), similar caravans would also be held simultaneously in different parts of the country,

such as in the Caraga Administrative Region or Region XIII in celebration of the National Peace Consciousness Month as declared by Presidential Proclamation No. 675

“The activities shall be participated in by our alliances of Christian-Muslim groups. Regardless of religion, we should embrace and respect one another, just like in Singapore and China. We must love all Filipinos,” NCMF administrative service director Abdullah Macarimpas told reporters.

The commission lauded Marcos, who guaranteed the Philippines’ commitment to the United Nations ideals and adherence to the UN Convention on the Law of Sea providing peaceful resolutions of issues.

The President also cited the 1982 Manila Declaration, a framework for the peaceful settlement of international disputes.

With the theme of “Pagkakaisa at Paghilom: Isang Bansa Para sa Kapayapaan,” the NCMF aims to promote peace and awaken the consciousness for desiring peace, justice and equality.

The caravan on Sept. 24 with at least 100 participating vehicles will start from Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon going to the Epifanio delos Santos Avenue traversing four cities and end at Roxas Boulevard in Manila.
