 IMAMS in at least 10 barangays in Zamboanga City are now voluntarily issuing a certificate to attest that a Muslim child has undergone a name-giving “baptism” in their mosques, a practice resulting from a documentation project started by the Jabu-Jabu (The Calling) Inc. three years ago.
This progress report was made by Jaafar Kimpa, president of the Muslim civil society group, during the first monthly meeting for the year of the Inter-Religious Solidarity Movement for Peace (IRSMP) held at the Solidarity Center of Peace Advocates Zamboanga (PAZ) last January 23. Kimpa’s group is a member of IRSMP.

If you want to cultivate peace, protect creation.
This is the title as well as theme of Pope Benedict XVI’s World Day of Peace message, which he delivered at the Vatican on New Year’s Eve.
Expressing his deep personal concern over the deteriorating condition of the global ecology, the Pope called for a comprehensive change in lifestyles away from materialism and consumerism to one that requires a more modest, moderate and responsible use of Earth’s natural resources.

 ZAMBOANGA CITY –
HARASSMENTS and threats of death to journalists in this country still continue amid the overwhelming demand by global media to stamp violence against the fourth estate, which have gained international concern following the killings of more than 30 community media in Mindanao in November last year, which was seen as the worst single attack in the history of international press.
In this month alone, at least three incidents of harassments were recorded by the National Union of Journalist of the Philippines (NUJP).
