“Peace is not simply the absence of war. Peace means that people can live safely, earn a decent livelihood, access justice, participate in decisions that affect their lives, and trust that government institutions will protect their rights. In this sense, peace is inseparable from good governance and human security.”

In her latest opinion column, Ateneo School of Government (ASOG) Dean Jennifer Oreta, PhD, reflects on the Philippines’ long peace journey and the work that must continue beyond the signing of peace agreements. Drawing from the lived realities of conflict-affected communities, she argues that the government must work to sustain reconciliation, restore livelihoods, strengthen communities, and build institutions that make peace a permanent part of how the Philippine state governs.
