<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Steered every quarter of the
fiscal year, the United Voices for Peace Network held its 4<sup>th</sup> Shuura
on Muslim Youth Enlightenment, Empowerment and Development last June 5-7, 2014 at
Masjidus Salam, Sanggilangan Village, Maa, Davao City, with a theme “Muslim
Youth Leaders as Agents for Positive Change”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The said meeting was attended by members of the Board
of Trustees (BOT), chief ministers and area and school representatives, who
constitute the Association’s Parliament – a governing body responsible for
running the over-all affairs. Intensive discussion on agenda focusing on projected
activities for the fiscal year 2014 filled the conduct of the three-day meeting.
It covered BOT report on action-plans, updates from existing UVPN chapters and
identification of next steps for upcoming activities.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Updates on the action-plans of
Ministers commenced the agenda discussion. It highlighted the membership
database, ID system, religious activities (such as weekly Halaqa),
documentation format and procedures, monitoring and evaluation scheme (like monthly
accomplishment reports), the formulation of UVPN Code of Conduct, communication
flow, financial management system and the formal institutionalization of some
activities like Hijab Campaign. These action-plans, accordingly, will provide
the tools and guidelines for Ministers to discharge their respective functions.
These will also be operationalized through the technical working group formed beforehand
such as Training Team, Media Team, Da’wah Team and Finance Team.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The recent activities conducted
by UVPN chapters were then presented. Signifying the gradual step towards
formal establishment of chapters in the campuses, members attending in Cotabato
City State Polytechnic College (CCSPC) and Notre Dame University (NDU)
highlighted the successful conduct of General Orientation Program last January.
In addition, the Ranaw Chapter presented the activity highlights of the “Let’s
Talk about Love” Forum conducted last February in Mindanao State University. A program
report was also presented by Kutawato Community Chapter regarding the Re-echo
Activity on Islamic Issues. The said activity was spearheaded by Khayria
Malusay who attended the original round in Malaysia last April.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As a moving forward mechanism,
the body identified sets of activities that are hoped to be conducted before
the fiscal year ends. Aside from continuous recruitment of members through its
chapters, the Association will gradually steer the conduct of its annually
observed events. One of these is the Qiyamul Layl Symposium during the holy
month of Ramadan. It will be spearheaded by the Kutawato Community Chapter in
Cotabato City in the last ten nights of Ramadan and are hoped to be steered as
well in Marawi City by Ranaw Chapter and in Taguig City by Manila Chapter (the
conduct of which last year served as the first activity of the Association in
Manila). Other Ramadan activities are Iftar programs, Weekly Islamic lectures
and the Eidl Fitr Kanduli – Camaraderie-Building. These activities and all
other upcoming activities in the fiscal year will be concluded by the annual
UVPN General Consultative Convention, that will be on its third round in
Sarangani Province on December last week.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
These activities are anchored in
the Association’s founding objective to enlighten, empower and develop the
Muslims in Philippines, particularly in the South, and mission of fostering
unity.<o:p></o:p></div>

Network (UVPN) had been conducting one of its major activities every Ramadhan
which is very well known as “Qiyamul Layl”. The program which is usually
scheduled within the last ten days of Ramadhan, starts with a series of Islamic
lectures after Tarawih prayer and ends with the participants praying tahajjud
and eating shuhur together. This great event started in the Ramadhan of 2006 in
Sultan Kudarat and was widely accepted and participated by many—from high
school students to members of the community. Since then, every year UVPN have
been working on and improving the Qiyamul Layl in Sultan Kudarat as a
collaborative effort of the Muslim youth to anticipate and prepare for the
greatest night in Ramadhan that may come only once every year: the Laylatul
Qadr or the Night of Power. </div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .25in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
This year though, is different. For Alhamdulillah,
UVPN had finally implemented two sets of Qiyamul Layl: one in Kutawato
(Cotabato) and the other one, in Taguig City which is a first time for UVPN. </div>

The UVPN Qiyamul Layl 2013, with the theme:
“Self Reformation: a gateway to Peace and Progress” was held last August 2,
2013 (25<sup>th</sup> day of Ramadhan) at the Green Mosque Compound, IRM Road,
New Bicutan, Taguig City. It was well participated by more than 200 people from
the nearby Muslim community. The four sets of lectures delivered by three great
Islamic lecturers done during the program had a great impact on the audiences.
The community was indeed grateful that such kind of activity started in their
place, and they hope these kinds of activities initiated by the youths will
continue. </div>

through the great blessings of Allah and the efforts of not just the few UVPN
members in the area but also due to the efforts, support and contribution of
many volunteers and Muslim brothers and sisters in the area. Without them,
indeed the success of the program will remain as a dream. The UVPN in Taguig
and Manila—and the UVPN family as a whole—is indeed grateful to the following
people/groups: the Imam in Green Mosque, <b>Imam Abdulhamid</b>; the <b>IRM Tambayan</b>
youth volunteers; the <b>Abo Family</b>; the the <b>Ponga Sisters</b>; <b>Mr. and Mrs. Compania</b>;
the <b>Basman Family </b>for the LCD Projector; <b>Dr. Abdullah</b> from UPCM; our three lecturers namely <b>Hasim
Iskak</b>, <b>Ustadz Abdurrahim Masdal</b>, and <b>Ustadz Abdulhamid Pigkawlan</b>; and all the
participants from the community during the said event. </div>

For years, United Voices for Peace had conducted Series of Qiyamul Layl Symposiums during one of the last 10 days Ramadhan where <i>Laylatul Qadr</i> (the night of Great Power) is usually sought after as from the authentic ahadith.<br />
<br />
This year, there will be two Qiyamul Layl symposiums:<br />
1. In SKIA, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao; and<br />
2. In Taguig City in Luzon<br />
<br />
The second venue (in Taguig City) will be the first to be conducted in the northern part of the country, in sha Allah, as from the past years, UVPN's Qiyamul Layl program is usually held in SKIA.<br />

Youth leaders from all over the region, representing the 5 provinces of ARMM: Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu, Basilan and Tawi-Tawi, were gathered in the event, to discuss important issues affecting the youths in the Muslim Region and how can these be addressed both by the regional government and the active youth leaders. Many prominent speakers from different stakeholders graced the event, and even the Acting Regional Governor himself, Hon. Mujiv Hataman, was present and interacted with the participants./<br />
There were open-Forums with the RG, wherein discussions on issues and concerns afffecting the bangsamoro were tackled. The youth participants were also given the chance to voice out their sentiments and ideas on how the Regional and Local government can better improve their performances and services to the community for a better, reformed ARMM, In shaa Allah. In the end of the summit, the youth paticipants made commitments on making actions to help their local communities.<br />
<br />
Quoting the paper presented during the summit, "The summmit will bee a multi-lateral platform for youth leaders to have better understanding of the issues that affects the Bangsamoro and develop an integrated, holistic and proactive approach in solving them. Moreover, it aims to form an alliance of network among them, thereby allowing broader and deeper perspectives.</div>

<b>Author's note:</b><br />
<br />
It was a wonderful experience. I met a lot of inspiring youth leaders. I feel so good (even though the way there is so far and so exhausting) to be part og this historical event. InshaAllah, this will only be the beginning of finaly seeing realistic change in our communities InshaAllah.<br />
<br />
I have never been so hopeful that our Regional Government can acctually make a change, until now.<br />
<br />
May Allah guide us all, let us acheive the greatest dream we, the Bangsamoro youths all have: A more developed, peaceful and islamically oriented ARMM.<br />
<br />
Ameen Insha Allah!<br />

On the outset, everything was in place as planned. It felt right for me to go despite of fear of it turning to one of my travel dilemma (hilo/suka/self-pity). And it did. But beyond it all, something different was up for me there.<br />
<br />
When we arrived at the affected place, I literally had vomited my entire breakfast. While trying to convince myself I was okay and everything’s going to be fine, other members in the van started to notice the devastating scene greeting us. It was worse than the saddest fiasco in catastrophic movies. At the wake of the flash flood and storm, houses and the roadways were left covered with bulks of mud. Logs and fallen trees lay all over the scene which seemed to come from somewhere far. The unfortunate residents were out trying to rebuild what was deemed to be unrecoverable. For quite a time, I thought I was in fact way far okay compared to these people who lost shelter and, worse, loved ones.<br />
<br />
It has never been easy to feel being useless when you know you were supposed to do something bigger than to wait in the van and look after it. Your heart says, “You can do it.” But your brain hurdles you by telling you not to cause problem and stay inside. Nonetheless, as I reposed and look around, it was a view I saw through the windows.<br />
<br />
Silence started to sink in as I watch the members carried two packaged relief goods on both hands and personally handing them to some needy families. I saw some of them not only gave food and material help but also offered a hug which meant more than anything else. I saw both sad and hopeful faces. I saw an old man sitting still in his small bungalow as if time had stopped over him. I saw children, despite of the trauma this disaster brought, still managed to wave smiles of gratitude.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
As we departed heading to the city proper, the members shared how satisfying the experiences were and expressed sympathy to the victims. As for me, it was a continuing nausea. I just had my sixth vomit when I realized I had already nothing to release. It was all air coming out. My stomach ran empty making me too weak to talk.<br />
<br />
Honestly, for me, a couple of hours are enough to suffer. But for the victims, months are too short to have stable three-square meals; for them, a bottle of drinking water is another ladder step to surviving. These were all that kept me going. I was fortunate enough that at least I was certain that my sufferings would end in time. I could gain back my strength and eat in a popular fast food restaurant. I could sleep on a comfortable bed. I could groom myself neatly in nice clothing. But again, for these people, finding their way out of thirst, hunger and decent homelessness situations was a someday and somewhere - without certainty.<br />
<br />
These realizations opened my eyes to the role I was to play. I was helpless then because of my sickness. But maybe, the reason for me to be in that state, was to see and feel what others could have not seen and felt.<br />
<br />
ALLAH sets His own plan for each of us. We might be saddened that this plan doesn’t go our way but the best is indeed reserved for our sake. We just have to put our whole trust in HIM. After all, it’s HIM who knows best. ALLAHU AKBAR!<br />
<br />
This is yet another enlightening experience. If you’d ask if I’d go again, I’d say “NO!” but if going means more than what vomit can give, NO would mean a resounding “YES!”. #<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
At this juncture, I’d like to extend my thanks to UVPNians for having been there for me. To my brothers and sisters from Cotabato city especially to Ate Norj (my instant Ate) who showed a brotherly concern though we had just met. To my UVPN- MSU family who cheered me up making me feel good- Raky, Hamzah, Yas, Omar, Kuya Faidz, Dayang, Clai and Fairoz (I still have your Vicks..hehe). And, of course, to Kuya Hamodi If not because of your strong words I would have not gotten out of the Van (whe?).<br />
<br />
Because of you guys, I never felt being a hustle for the group. Continue delivering genuine concern and care not only to other people but to your fellow members as well. Shukran wa JazakaAllahu Khairan!</div>

After weeks of massive information dissemination and donations collection, UVPNians gathered in Mindanao State University-Main Campus, Marawi City, Lanao del Sur last December 27 and 28 , 2011 to centralize and prepare the relief goods distributed.<br /><br />A hundred and fifty families were able to receive two and a half kilos of rice, three bottles of purified water, two canned goods, three packs of noodles and assorted clothes. Additional five hundred individuals were also able to receive bottles of purified water from the group. These donations were made available through ALLAH S.W.T.'s Tawfik to the following individuals and entities who responded to UVPN's call: Maguindanao Vice-Governor Datu Ismael V. Mastura, Prof. Iskak of Institute of Bangsamoro Studies, officers, members and volunteers of MSU Main Campus-Business Administration and Accountancy Student Council, AFS-Cotabato Chapter, Ranao Council Student Assembly, Muslim Youth Religious Organization, Tableegh Risaalah Organization and Jamiatu Tilmizaat Organization.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />Aside from the internal happiness and satisfaction caused by ALLAH S.W.T. due to reaching out to needy people, UVPNians also felt blessed brought about by the avenue to get to know deeper their UVPNian brothers and sisters in other places provided by ALLAH S.W.T. through the said event.<br /><br />In sha ALLAH, UVPN will always be committed in upholding its advocacy of attaining ALLAH S.W.T.'s Pleasure, Mercy and Forgiveness through working together amidst diversities and adversities to establish a peaceful and progressive Bangsamoro homeland and to uplift the quality of living of the people.<br />

<br />
<b>Shaping Khalifah Personality</b> which inculcated among the participants their role as Khalifah of ALLAH S.W.T. and the significant duties and responsibilities to perform. Introduced during this part are appropriate attitudes and values to possess in order for them to fulfill the great role of being a Righteous Khalifa, In Shaa Allah; </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>The Power of Working as One Ummah</b> made the participants appreciate the impact of working collaboratively to attain ALLAH S.W.T.'s Pleasure, Mercy and Forgiveness in the world and the hereafter. The spirit of working as one Ummah, as one great brotherhood that transcends ethnic affiliation or race is the essence in creating a more-fulfilling Islamic community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
At the end of the day, mixed emotions were felt by the participants as those life-changing lessons were implanted within their heart. Filled with new hope for a better tomorrow, these new sets of young leaders will In shaa Allah contribute big changes through a different way: leading in an entirely Islamic way, Alhamdulillah!</div>

“ALHAMDULLILLAH! It was indeed a very successful Islamic Leadership Training." said Hasmiene Ibrahim of UVPN SKIA "With the help of ALLAH (SWT), we were able to meet our objectives. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In fact, I received a lot of positive comments from the participants
right after the activity proper. They informed me that they are starting
to leave their lives in an ISLAMIC WAY. They feel how it differs to be
closer to ALLAH, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful. May HE
continue to ponder guidance among us. In sha ALLAH.”</div>

During the Eidul Adha last November 6, 2011 a Qurban (Animal Sacrifice) project was held in Maguindanao. <b>Qurban </b>is a regular tradition of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and until now are being done by able Muslims during the last and Holy Month of Dhul Hijja. This is also the month of Pilgrimage or<b> Hajj,</b> one of the five pillars of Islam: Hajj. The meats of the sacrificed animals (goats, sheep, cows or camels) will then be distributed to the poor families in the community, who cannot even afford such provisions. This is just one of the wonderful Islamic practices that strengthens brotherhood among Muslims and promotes charity and humility among them: sharing whatever blessings Allah may have given to them to the less-fortunate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
In the Qurban Project 2011, UVPN was assigned to Distribute the “donations” to various places as the Darul Aytam Cotabato in Brgy. Gang, Sultan Kudarat, Magindanao and Tukananes, Cotabato City. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a name='more'></a><br />
Sponsors of the said activity were Singaporean friends of Dr. Siti Mariam Salasal, the head of Cotabato Inter-Communal Initiatives. The slaughtering of Qurban took place in Brgy. Linek, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao last November 6, 2011.<br />

As part of developing physical fitness among UVPNians, applicants, aspirants and members of UVPN-Lanao played together different games in the University Grandstand and Oval of MSU Main Campus, Marawi City, Lanao del Sur last December 18, 2011, 6:00-9:00 am. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Male UVPNians played soccer, sepak takraw and basketball while the female UVPNians played Larong Pinoy Games. Chibugan in Exan's Bakery located in the Upper Commercial Center of the campus concluded the activity.</div>

This is a simple activity that would surely strengthen the brotherhood among the UVPNians, always putting ahead the message of brotherhood in Islam.</div>

Twelve (12) UVPNians attended the Peace Caravan entitled <b>Mindanao Peace Youth Festival</b> with a theme <i>"Raising Voices for Peace: A Youth Culture and Arts Festival for Peace "</i> organized by Mindanao Peoples Caucus (MPC) in Davao City, Davao del Sur last December 2-4, 2011. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The said festival provided a venue wherein the youth of Mindanao were able to show their support for the current peace negotiations between the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and air their call for a peaceful settlement of the conflict through the medium of arts and music. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since most of the activities conducted were not Islamic in nature, corrupting the minds of young Muslim delegates (specially in the second night on which a concert was conducted), Islamic Da'wah highlighting Islamic Way of Attaining Peace was initiated by the United Voices for Peace Network. Muslim delegates representing different Muslim organizations from different parts of Mindanao were gathered in the Prayer Room while the concert was being conducted. The said special activity provided an avenue for the Muslim delegates to know one another and to brainstorm Islamic strategies and actions that will suitably lead to the true face of peace and progress in the Bangsamoro Homeland.<br />
<br />
UVPNians who attended the event were Norjanah Andok Abo, Mohammad Dalanda, Salahudin Datumanong, Mohammad Faisal Dimalen, Macdum Enca, Suharto Sandayan Esmael, Jhela Juanday, Khairia Malusay and Jelfaad Salik of UVPN-Cotabato/Maguindanao and Mahadudin Sumpingan, Morrasul Jupakkal and Hamodi Lao Tiboron of UVPN-Lanao.</div>

A single Ummah requires unity among the people of the nation. A successful Ummah calls for an eloquent leadership from a strong and faithful Ameer. For all those years that had passed, where is the rightful Ameer that was supposed to lead us towards divine righteousness and positive development? Where is the rightful Ameer of the Ummah?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The May Election is fast approaching: another event full of deceit and ostentatious promises from running politicians with all their “I-can-do-this-and-that”. Promises we only see in papers. Promises that only last a few words, if not of a few minutes only. No one can ever distinguish which is a part of truth in their words. Election is a time for the common people to choose the right man to lead the way. It is so much a crucial decision where the future of the land depends on. But how can the people of a Nation select the right choice if every man in the screen-show of politics does the same thing: promise and nothing more. How are we going to judge; what will be our guidance in choosing those who are capable of uplifting our state? To whom shall we put our trust and our future as well?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Islam stretches the importance of good governance and Politics that plays a vital role in an Islamic society. As stated in the Holy Qur’an: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“<b><i>Behold! Thy lord said to the angels; ‘I will create vicegerent on Earth…” - Al-Baqarah (2):30</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Man was created to lead a good example, addressing the need of the people’s concerns and promoting the propagation of Islam. In fact, Rasulullah S.A.W. had shown the world how Islam can bring about positive change and development during the advent of Islam in his time. The only problem the Bangsamoros nowadays have—may be as an effect of the colonial era experienced—is for overlooking the Islamic way of leadership and its principles that contributes to positive development. This laxity of the people frequently resulted to the rampant graft and corruption among our leaders that could be seen in every nook off the province—greatly contributing to the dawdling progress in the Moro areas.</div>

Let us know and understand some <b>“Attributes of a good, Islamic Leader”.</b><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">ATTRIBUTES of AN ISLAMIC LEADER:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
1.<span style="font-family: "; font-size: 7pt;"> </span><i><b>Ma’rifatud Da’wah</b> </i>(Understanding of the Mission)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
An effective leader must know his purpose as a leader, void of selfish intentions and claims. He must know both his greatest responsibilities and the obligatory rights his constituents deserved to have so as to serve without any reservations.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
2.<span style="font-family: "; font-size: 7pt;"> </span><b>Self-Cognizance</b> (Knowing owns ability and short-comings)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Without self-cognizance, a leader goes out of control and might keep on doing unnecessary acts that might lead to the destruction of the cause and dismay from his people. A leader must know what he can do and what he cannot.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i>“A person who wishes to be a leader but without self-cognizance is like a crab trying to crawl straight—which is impossible.” </i>–Imam Ashari Muhammad</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Humility is also a prerequisite in attaining this attribute.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<b>3.<span style="font-family: "; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></b><b>Wonderful representation.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
A leader is a like a mirror in which the followers view to get the correct picture; a model towards righteousness. He must always be the first one to act and not wait for others. He must always help his fellow men in task works that keep on giving orders. He must also multiply his sacrifices more than any other member of the cause do.</div>

The ability to give accurate evaluation of any incident or to any man without bias is also an important trait a leader must have. Transparency and equal judgment is an essential factor to maintain the order in a society. These two traits also secure the trust of the people.

<br />
The struggle to uphold Islam requires people with strong determination and tenacity. The ability to overcome difficulties, avoid obstacles and threats, and solve major problems with ease is governed by an Ameer’s undying hope and determination to keep going. This will maintain and fuel the actions of the Ummah as a whole.</div>

<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"><span style="float: none; orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">What's so intriguing about UVPN?</span></span></span><br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"><span style="float: none; orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">As you try to do a 360-degree turn-around, you
will be able to see the physique of the world. You are to probe the top and
bottom part where you can see what's trending and what's ready to trash out,;who's in the go and who left behind. Yet, I bet you are to see more. When you
look around, what you are seeing are people being busy on their own lives, maybe
struggling to earn few pesos for their hungry family at home; maybe one is
just aiming for fame, power and money. Only a few are yelling around the streets for their
grievances to be heard. Maybe some are just not yet contented so they keep on
searching. Most are just people who act like normal, surviving everyday of their life.
Other words, everyone has its own call.</span></span></span><br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"><span style="float: none; orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Well, let me tell you. It is just a sneak-a-peek.
You missed something. You might be forgetting the internal area where the roots
grew horribly that raises the question "Why these things are
happening?". Most especially, you missed the area where you stand at. It
may be just a piece of place fitted for your feet alone, yet could elevate or
shrink you at a time. Around you is nothing but a huge package of natural-human
dilemma and temptations. So worldly that it might blind you from your true
mission.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"> </span></span></span><br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"><span style="float: none; orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">I started my UVPN life earlier when I was in high
school. Back then, it was the former Voice of the Youth for Peace Organization
which was later named as Voice of the Youth for Peace and Orderliness until it
got to be today's United Voice for Peace Network. As a starting organization,
we encountered different things. We do activities, plan them, materialize them,
gather operational budgets and it never be that easy. We admit we have
difficulties doing those. Those difficulties were rooted from several things
like financial matters, behavioral problems, scarce resources and time
constraints stretching us into a critical thinker "geeks". So we sort
it out by bending our resources and exhausting our options. It is not only
about handling problems. There is more in UVPN that obligates us to wake up
ourselves. </span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: #333333; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The call for peace is what always comes to the
surface. It nurtures us to be peace-loving individuals, which is the very
behavior of being a Muslim. Me and the people on this group learn so many ways
on how to struggle with it so as not to take it for granted not because we have
ourselves and other people to accommodate. But we know, deep in our hearts,
that above all our sufferings we have Allah SWT who watches us, gives us the
things we ought to learn, what we ought to let go and what we must continue to
look forward to. With these, I know I have my shields not to be blinded with
the sparkling yet blazing fire of secularism and make myself free from the
deceiving call of the world that will makes everyone shrunken and fallen into
Hellfire.</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"><span style="float: none; orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Why the world distracts us so much from what we
are supposed to be doing? The answers are found within us. Life, in the general
perspectives, has the most things a man ever wanted: love ones, material values,
memories, faith, name it all. But as humans, we are not just travelers. We have
the privilege to choose. No matter how you are being trapped in a situation,
you still have a choice. You always have. To be saved, be it by yourself or by
others, will always be your choice.</span></span></span><br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />
<span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"><span style="float: none; orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Life is a marathon. And the finish line is our own
death. As you run for your life, best is to run it with purpose. You are
running because the true essence of life is learned when you pass through the
finish line. And how will you know if it’s worth it or not? Simple: it is when,
along the way, you feel that satisfaction within you; just because you haven't
aimed much yet Allah SWT gives you more than what you have asked for. You just
run for a purpose and that purpose is to please Him with our complete
submission. We must come to realize that we are just into temporary things
here. Nothing will give us the special treatment when the Day of Reckoning
comes. We are so dignified being the highest creation of Him which of course,
must worship and love him in return.</span></span></span><br style="orphans: 2; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;" />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 11pt;">Ms. Suad K. Usman, a Mathematics teacher in Sultan Kudarat
Islamic Academy (SKIA), Brgy. Bulalo, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao
conceived a plan to conduct a Pre-Ramadhan Exhibit as part of the
preparation for the coming of the Holy Month of Ramadhan. Having the
Special Science Class-II as the best class for her during that school
year, she assigned it to facilitate the said activity to be led by
<b>Hamodi L. Tiboron</b>. Mr. Tiboron accepted the task. Together with <b>Jelfaad J. Salik,</b> he asked for the approval of the school
administration, delegated tasks to each committee formed in the class
and assisted Ms. Usman in gathering all the materials to be used in the
exhibit. The activity had been impressively successful. Huge number of
the school's constituents had visited the exhibit. Muslim constituents
were urged to strengthen their faith while the Non-Muslim ones were able
to change their views towards ISLAM, leaving no more misconceptions
against the religion. This noble undertaking had truly inspired Mr.
Tiboron. His spirit as a Muslim student leader had been ignited.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">2004</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 11pt;">Being noted as an active third year high school student, Mr.
Tiboron was chosen by <b>Hadja Bai Salma Lourdes V. Mastura</b>, the better
half of the SKIA President and Founder <b>Datu Michael O. Mastura</b>, dean of
the college and president of the Asian Conference on Religion and Peace
(ACRP) in the Philippines, to be one of the SKIA delegates to the
Three-Day Interfaith Dialogue in Southern Christian College, Midsayap,
North Cotabato. This program was participated in by different
personalities from various sectors of the society all over the
Philippines. Aside from the interfaith dialogue itself, the delegates
were also immersed to different Muslim, Christian and Lumad communities
in North Cotabato. This activity served as an eye-opener to Mr. Tiboron
to the reality, as far as peace and order situation in Southern
Philippines is concerned. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><b>Youth for United World (YUW)</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 11pt;"> After
the said program, Hadja Bai Mastura advised the SKIA delegates to form
an organization that will work hand in hand with ACRP in sustaining its
activities in the school and nearby communities. Hence, the <b>Youth for
United World (YUW)</b> was organized. Being a newly-formed association, its
advisers decided that the first set of officers will be selected through
appointment. At this time, unknown to him, Mr. Tiboron, the youngest of
all the delegates, was unanimously appointed as president. This opened a
very challenging chapter in his leadership life, considering that
ACRP's YUW was not just dealing with small entities but with giant names
like Focolare Movement and Tuklas Katutubo Movement which are known
nationwide in the field of working out for peace and solidarity. He had
successfully led the organization for one year, and had turned
the responsibility over his successor in office after his term. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: black;">2005</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 11pt;">Considering
his academic standing, leadership experiences in his school and
community and involvement with the activities of known organizations in
Central Mindanao like <b>Muslim Youth Brotherhood, Inc.</b> and U<b>nited Youth
for Peace and Development,</b> <b>Inc.,</b> Mr. Tiboron made it to be one of the 26
youth delegates out of hundreds of applicants of the Training Program
on Inter-Ethnic Dialogue and Conflict Resolution under the <b>Philippine
Youth Leadership Program/Access to Community and Civic Enrichment for
Students (PYLP/ACCESS).</b> The program was held in Northern Illinois
University, Dekalb, Illinois, U.S.A last April-May, 2005, involving
leadership training, inter-faith dialogue, interactive lectures
discussions and educational tour. The program had inspired more Mr.
Tiboron to be an agent of positive change in the society he is within.
It had widened his viewpoints, eradicated his biases and prejudices
against people belonging to other groups and enriched his skills and
enhanced his strategies as a leader.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 11pt;">In
the said program, the delegates were asked to formulate action plans
that would be implemented upon return in the Philippines. Mr. Tiboron
presented his plans with YUW people as his primary workforce. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 11pt;"><b>Voice of the Youth for Peace
Organization (VYPO) </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 11pt;">Surprisingly
as it was, YUW was already inactive upon his return in the
Philippines. Most of its pioneering members, after having graduated in
college, were already quite busy in their respective careers and could
not anymore commit. Because of the absence of the proper authority to
which Mr. Tiboron could seek an approval for the implementation of his
action plans, he, deviated from his original plan of having YUW as
workforce. Instead, he conceived an idea of having an organization that
would primarily assist him in the implementation of his action plans. He
presented his plans to his classmates and friends who occupied
positions in the school's big organizations-Preparatory Military
Training and Student Body Organization. His classmates and friends he
had talked with did not hesitate to give their support. Thus, Mr.
Tiboron's spirit as a leader had been triggered more to pursue his plan
of having a new organization. He prepared the necessary documents and
presented the proposal to the Executive Vice President for
Administration and Finance of SKIA, <b>Datu Ismael V. Mastura.</b> The proposal
was approved and the organization was launched on <b>June 23, 2005</b> in the
Vocational Technology Building of SKIA with <b>Voice of the Youth for Peace
Organization (VYPO) </b>as its name. All SKIA constituents attended the
launching and impressive number of students got interest in joining the
organization.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 11pt;">Another
twist in Mr. Tiboron’s action plans took place after consulting some of
the school officials, religious figures in his community and family
members and relatives. Instead of integrating Muslims, Christians and
Lumads into his action plans as recommended by PYLP/ACCESS and retaining
the interfaith nature of ACRP-YUW, Mr. Tiboron, primarily emphasized in
VYPO the significance of Islam as far as Moro people are concerned in
his walk towards a peaceful and progressive Southern
Philippines. Accordingly, being born Moros, nothing can enlighten them
but Islam. Thus, it is but right to blend the organization's approaches
with Islamic ways to make the majority of the students and people in his
Moro-occupied community conform to his advocacy. The advocacy of VYPO
might have been centering its focus on programs for Moro people but this
does not close its mindset with the idea of having harmonious
co-existence with the non-Moros. The Moro people, being the central
figure of conflict in Southern Philippines need this unique way for
them to become enlightened, empowered and well-developed enough, making
them true Muslims who should live lives peacefully and progressively
amidst diversity in terms of different aspects in the societies they are
within.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 11pt;">As
years went by, the name of the organization was changed into <b>Voice of
the Youth for Peace and Orderliness (VYPO)</b> then into <b>United</b> <b>Voices for
Peace Network (UVPN). </b>Along with this change is the gradual growth and
development that happened in just few years. It has been impressively
active in conducting Islamic symposiums and seminars, peace workshops,
leadership trainings, tutorial programs, relief operations and other
community outreach programs. From <b>SKIA</b>, the organization has also now
been extended to the <b>communities of Cotabato City </b>and <b>Sultan Kudarat</b>,
<b>Maguindanao</b> and other schools and universities which include <b>Mindanao
State University-Main Campus</b> in <b>Marawi City</b>. The organization’s enriching and inspiring
activities have revitalized and kindled the spirits of the active Moro
student leaders in the said university coming from different places
making them committed and active members of it. By this, the
organization has found an opportunity to extend its various projects to
the places where its MSU-Main Campus chapter members are living
like <b>Davao, Lanao, Palawan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Zamboanga areas.</b></span></div>

many other organizations in and outside the country have recognized the

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Amidst Adversity, There can be Solidarity</b></span><br />
<i>By: Hasmiene Diocolano Ibrahim</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I was sitting in the bench early in the morning while waiting for my friends to arrive; we have this usual meeting to discuss important matters for our bulk school requirements. I have heard unintentionally from the other edge, a cluster of students exchanging stories about the remarkable experiences they had during flood times. The fact is that, flood seems so normal in the city. When it rains, even not heavy, we can expect for it to turn up. After some time, I grasp several apprehensions.<br />
<br />
With all of those customary occurrences in and out of the university, nothing is more notable than June 2011 flood in Cotabato City, Sultan Kudarat, and nearby areas. The week long flood have already displaced an estimated 500,000 – 650,000 persons, damaged vast properties and so with their livelihood. These might seem so tremendous. Are these really this way? At a first glance, no doubt, it could be deemed as it is. However, we have to bear in our mind the concept of Divine Will (Qadaa) and Predestination (Qadar).These are basic principles of faith that we have to internalize deeply as a Muslim believer. Why did I include this? We have inculcated that Allah (SWT) made this to happen for a purpose or purposes. We might not automatically realize it, but surely, there is. As mentioned in our Holy Book <b>(Qur’an 36:82)</b> <i><b>“Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, “Be!”- and it is !”</b></i>. Whatever Allah decrees will happen inevitably comes to pass by His Power. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Further, the Prophet (SAW) said <i><b>“Allah wrote the decrees of His creation fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, and He said: His Throne is above the water.”</b></i> Hence, no rooms for questions and contentions because Allah (SWT) have carefully taken into account various facets of our lives. <br />
<br />
We could attest on this. Many individuals across different areas have cast their means to assist multifold victims of flood. Here we could manifest how mankinds fulfill its duty as a trustee of Allah (SWT). As His vicegerent, we must be prudent to accomplish our responsibilities in this world. We are accountable to what we have. Our knowledge, properties, and all the treasures that we cherished, we owe all of this to Him. We must not be arrogant on believing that what we achieve is just the product of our own efforts and nothing more. We have to go back to the basic principle that Allah (SWT) has the full control of all the dealings of the humanity. If not through His will, we can’t rejoice what we have. What I would like to emphasize, that though these floods caused a lot to us, it is still worthy. This is where we have witness how solidarity amidst diversity reign among humankind. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a students like us or a professional for this matter, how can we do the same? This is what truly inspired me on involving and committing into an organization that strikes all the limits just for the sake of seeking Allah’s bliss. United Voices for Peace Network (UVPN) is a group of youth that adheres on the Qur’anic verse <i><b>“ Let there arise out of you a band of people, inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong: These are the ones who attain felicity” (3:104)</b></i>. This association had gone through numerous endeavors to reach its noble obligations. To sight, in spite our hectic schedules, we have managed to initiate relief operations. Through this, we have extent aid to suffice their basic needs such as clothing and food. Every time we do this, I learned a lot. L<u>earning that can’t totally be taught in the four corners of our classroom</u>. Greatly indeed that the world provides entrenched lessons that deserve to be yearn. This can make us apprehend that all trials that came along in our lives, there is more important thing to consider, a lot of blessings to appreciate than to entertain our anxieties that gradually craft us senseless. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have not yet experienced this, remember the Hadith stated from Bukhari, the Prophet (SAW) said “<i><b>...on the Day of Judgment there will be no shade except for Allah’s shade. And from amongst these groups, one will be the youth who spent their live youth in the worship of Allah”.</b></i> As the sun sets and clock ticks, our lives also decrease. To Allah (SWT) we shall return and He would ask us how we made his endowment fruitful. </div>
<br />
Conclusively, instead of bombarding our lives with all the challenges of life, consider the other side of the coin. Find ways on how can we revert things from negative to positive. There we can be grateful how Allah (SWT) caresses for us.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>She says that involvement with various community services to the Muslim Ummah is more
than any amount of any material things in this world; Nothing can
equate to the fulfillment one feels inside after each and every activity done.</i></div>

The <b>United Voices for Peace Network (UVPN)</b> in coordination with <b>Muslim Student Association (MSA)- Palawan Chapter</b> sponsored a two-day iftar with theme: <i>“Strengthening Muslim Unity through Extending Generosity”</i> at <b>Palawan Grand Mosque, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan</b> last <b>August 28-29, 2011.</b> The said iftar is part of UVPN’s extended activity for the Holy month of Ramadhan in the light of seeking the pleasure of All-Mighty Allah. Some estimated 60 (35 men & 20 women) Muslim-Palaweño were able to benefit from the program, Alhamdulillah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
This program, aside from sharing the blessings from the Most Gracious Allah, becomes an instrument in uniting Muslims despite the geographical and cultural gap existing between different Muslim minority groups specifically the Muslims in Mindanao and Palawan.</div>

It's already been some months that we have not posted in this blog. The group had been so much busy with so many activities during Ramadhan (especially the main Event, our Grand Qiyamul Layl). But Alhamdulillah, we are now back to posting more and more activities here so that our brothers in Islam will also know what UVPN are busy with. After the Success of so many projects we had (all praise due to Allah), InshaAllah, we will still continue to inspire more lives; help build our Ummah, and be the catalysts of change in our homeland: Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan!</div>

It is entitled "Iqra Program". The UVPN Youth leaders visited a child day-care center in Bacolod-Kalawi, Lanao del Sur. Some books were donated (Islamic books); story-sharing and teaching the young Muslims about good manners in Islam were the main highlights. (Some of the kids were orphaned).</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Recognizing the efficacy of the Holy Month of Ramadhan in inculcating the divine importance of “Tawbat” or self-reformation among Muslim believers, the UVPN will be holding its Grand Qiyamul Layl Symposium 2011 with the theme: “Self-Reformation: A Gateway to Peace and Progress” on August 27-28, 2011. 8:30pm-4:00am at Sultan Kudarat Islamic Academy-Annex Compound, Cotabato City. It is an annual grand activity being undertaken by the organization which aims to make the Bangsamoro people aware of the significant role of self-reformation being taught by Ramadhan in attaining peace and progress in Southern Philippines and to promote a spirit of unity, social responsibility and leadership among them in order to bring about effective and sustainable actions as response to many problems confronting them and various misconceptions against the Muslim Ummah as a whole. This event has been annually held within the last ten days of Ramadhan, wherein the <b>Night of Power (Laylatul Qadr)</b> can be witnessed by every Muslim (as in the Hadith of our Prophet, S.A.W). The event will be participated by hundreds of Muslims in doing<b> '</b><i><b>ibadaah (worship)</b> </i>together for one night. The highlights of the activity are: praying<b><i> Salatu At-Taraweeh </i></b>together<b><i>, </i></b><b>Islamic Symposium, Qur'an Reading,</b> praying<i> <b> </b><b>Salatu At-Tahajjud</b></i><b> </b>together; and having <i><b>Shuhr </b></i>together.. This is a great avenue for our people, young and old, to work for the sake of Allah in <b>Unity</b> and in <b>Harmony</b>.</span></div>
