You truly encouraged us to promote solidarity, unity, sportsmanship, and peace. We are grateful because we became active youth in our community with the help and unwavering support of the World Vision—Peace Mindanao Project. We couldn’t have done it without your support.
Our heartwarming gratitude to our beloved principal of 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐮 𝐀𝐲𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐧 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥, 𝐌𝐚’𝐚𝐦 𝐁𝐚𝐢𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐢𝐳𝐚 𝐆𝐚𝐧𝐢.

From the bottom of our hearts, thanks for taking the game in a positive manner. Your presence and participation mean a lot to us.

We also would like to express our profound thanks to our 𝐒𝐊 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧. 𝐓𝐨𝐧-𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫 𝐀𝐲𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐧, 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐊 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬, for giving their best in assisting the participants and players, most especially for being our support system in terms of financial or unexpected expenses. Your support inspires us to continue serving our community.
Last but definitely not least, thanks a lot to the watchers for being with us all throughout this journey. Your support, cheers, and encouragement truly motivated our players to fully give and show their best talent.
Once again, thank you to all the event organizers, facilitators, SK officials, participants, and everyone who made Sports for Peace 2025 achievable and successful. May we continue uniting in sports and building bridges, not walls. Congratulations, everyone! 🫶💗
