🕊️💙 PDSO at the IBS Book Launch: Honoring Our Stories, Shaping Our Future

Yesterday, June 17, 2026, Officers of the Peace and Development Student Organization (PDSO) and fellow student leaders from Cotabato State University had the privilege of attending a deeply moving event at Grand Pagana, Pagana Kutawato.

The Institute of Bangsamoro Studies (IBS) officially launched "Bangsamoro and the Everyday: Stories from the Heart of the Revolution." It was an incredible gathering of academics, youth leaders, and advocates, all coming together to celebrate a book that gives a voice to the real, daily lived experiences of the Bangsamoro people.

As we celebrate this Baccalaureate Ceremony, we honor not only our academic journey but also our commitment to becoming instruments of peace, justice, and sustainable development.

To the Bachelor of Arts in Peace and Development Studies 4th Year Students, this milestone reflects years of perseverance, growth, and dedication to creating positive change in our communities and beyond.

May we carry forward the values we have learned, embrace our responsibility as peacebuilders, and continue striving for a more just, harmonious, and compassionate world. Educated minds, compassionate hearts, and a shared vision for peace.
