The Peacecamp Project: 

P.E.R.S.P.E.C.T.I.V.E.S

Peacecamp-Masbate's main perspectives are defined in two major trajectories -- one, the development of a strong peace constituency within the island province of Masbate, which is among the poorest provinces of the country; and, two, the initial development of a multiplicity of local peace camps in various parts of the country, continually inspired and guided by the experiences of this year's Peacecamp-Masbate. 

Masbate is not among the top flashpoints of violence in the country, especially outside election periods.  

This affords the intensive study of pursuing peace without the disadvantage of a prevalent condition of armed strife which can bar such study.  At the same time, with poverty a broad problem, the student participants can motivated to undertake the study of peace upon social grounds.

Peacecamp-Masbate is not the first one of this sort of activity, but the breadth and diversity of its base of facilitators and participants holds the potential of being a precursor of a series of peace camps in the Philippines, which can even be shared by our people with other nations in the Southeast Asian region and beyond.
