The Rotary Club of Bongao, Tawi-Tawi (D3850) recently teamed up with the MSU Tawi-Tawi Institute for Peace and Development in Mindanao to support the annual Mindanao Week of Peace.

In an effort to prioritize mental health, the organizations hosted a Mental Health Forum at the ISL Building, MSU TCTO. Approximately 70 students attended the forum, where three resource persons shared valuable insights on how to effectively manage stressors.

During the event, IPDM Director and Rotarian, Ms. Jhoy De Asis-Omar, emphasized the importance of inner peace as a crucial starting point towards achieving lasting peace.

Rotary International has designated Peace and Conflict Prevention as a major area of concentration, while Mental Health is among the top priorities of Rotary International President Gordon McNally.
