𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿, 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁

This year's theme reminds us: environmental progress isn't handed down by governments, it is built by us. Our power, our planet. The change we need comes from collective action, community mobilization, and the daily fight of ordinary people protecting where they live and work.

But today, we hold that power in one hand and grief in the other.
We remember those taken by typhoons, floods, and rising seas. Victims not of nature, but of negligence. While communities drown, governments protect extractive industries over people. Ghost flood control projects fail when the rains come. Water crises deepen while officials look away. The powerful profit; the poor perish.

Our Power, Our Planet means we refuse to accept this. It means reparations for survivors, real infrastructure that works, and holding polluters and negligent officials criminally accountable.

The Earth doesn't need saving. We need saving from those destroying it.

For the victims. For the future. Our power, our planet. Demand justice.

Iligan City and Lanao del Norte face a deepening crisis, recurrent floods, water insecurity, ecosystem loss, and rising disaster risks that hit our urban poor, farmers, fisherfolk, women, youth, and elders the hardest.

In this sacred month of mercy and reflection, we stand in prayer and solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters.

May our fasting purify our intentions, our prayers strengthen our faith, and our compassion uplift those in need. May this Ramadan renew our hope and deepen our commitment to serving the common good.

From November 21–24, 2025, AKMK successfully conducted its Training of Trainers on Interfaith Peacebuilding for Tri-People Youth, supported by Mensen met een Missie. Held at KJJ Farmville, Ditucalan, Iligan City, the four-day training gathered 23 youth participants from Moro, Indigenous Peoples, and Migrant Settler communities.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our MM Partner, Pakigdait, Inc. (Sir Abel Moya, Gee, James, Yasin, and Dona) for facilitating the Interfaith Storytelling session and supporting the activity throughout. Warm appreciation also goes to Ma’am Mabel, MM Program Focal Person, for joining us and sharing her message during the culmination night.

Representing diverse communities across Mindanao, the participants came from:
• Limunsudan
• Rogongon, Iligan City
• Barangays of Iligan City
• Upi, Maguindanao del Sur
• Kalilangan

To our youth delegates, facilitators, and partners—thank you for your energy, stories, and commitment to building communities rooted in respect, coexistence, and hope.
