๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐," held on June 17, 2026, at Grand Pagana, Pagana Kutawato, Cotabato City.
This event was more than just a ceremony; it was a profound opportunity to delve into the historical, spiritual, and political foundations of the Bangsamoro struggle. The book captures the lived experiences of the Bangsamoro peopleโshowcasing how they sustained themselves through adversity, not just in conflict, but through education, advocacy, healing, documentation, organizing, and institutional work.
As representatives of the youth, we are reminded that understanding our history is the vital first step toward building a peaceful and progressive future. The CAFI-Local Student Council hopes that this launch will inspire us all to champion unity, truth, and collective healing.
In the wise words of ๐๐ก๐๐ข๐ค๐ก ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ง ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐๐ง ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ก๐ฒ๐๐ง:

Let us carry these stories forward and turn them into action for a better Bangsamoro.
