It is said that Mindanao is one of the richest islands in the country. With natural resources thriving across the island, Mindanao is the most livable place in the country.
But as time goes by, everything turned upside down. Poverty has made our people die in hunger. Worse, war made our homeland scarce from natural resources and all.
And the Mindanaoans? We are the ones who are highly affected by it. The children are exposed to the things that they must not know at a very young age.
Yes, peace summits and dialogues for peace can do but it is not enough.
These children need to be engaged in sports in order for them to be trained at a young age. Sports can make them good leaders in the society and for them to have self-discipline.
The future is in the hands of sports. Let us strive to help our children to be what we want them to be, and not like those people now, making war and not peace. Let us help not make history repeat itself.
