A total of 15 soldiers from the Eastern Mindanao Command arrived that morning from as far as Surigao del Sur to attend the session.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of Boehlke and Balay Mindanaw\u2019s Charmaine \u201cXx\u201d Dagapioso-Baconga, they reviewed the objectives of Op Kors! and IPSP. They then identified the aforementioned criteria for IPSP\u2019s success as well as the competencies they thought were essential to a military peace builder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis workshop was very helpful,\u201d said 1Lt Romulo Valente \u201cVal\u201d Palomino, of the 58th Infantry (Dimalulupig) Battalion. \u201cWe realized that in every level of command, there is a difference in how we see and understand the objective. And individually, there is a difference on how we can achieve it. Even though we are all different, it doesn\u2019t matter as long as we are going to the same goal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs to competencies,\u201d he continued, \u201ceven in school we are taught different army core values but then it was not clearly defined. Of course, we know the dictionary definition but not in the broader sense, in the application. Discipline doesn\u2019t only mean hand salute, standing straight, or have a clean uniform, etc.,\u201d Palomino said.<\/p>\n<p>His parting words: \u201cThank you for inviting us. We hope there will be more (recall sessions) next time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite knowing the military men present were trained peace builders, BM staff were still a little surprised to note their perspective on the objective involving \u201cdefeating\u201d a certain enemy. Combat was not the primary means they identified to this end. In fact, the most aggressive answer was simply to \u201ccontain these groups and bar their access to arms.\u201d The military men present agreed that the best criterion for the defeat of these groups was the ongoing delivery of basic services to people, as well as the entry of local and foreign investors.<\/p>\n<p>Or, perhaps, to sum up: \u201cWe should study the root cause of the problems in the barangay. If there aren\u2019t any issues, there is no insurgency, \u201d according to Sgt. Antonio \u201cBaggy\u201d Bagalonon Jr., of the 8th Infantry (Dependable) Battalion who is assigned in Maramag, Bukidnon.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone present agreed that this was a positive sign in the military\u2019s paradigm shift not towards winning the war but, instead, \u201cwinning the peace\u201d. While many soldiers still recognize peacebuilding as \u201ceasier said than done\u201d in a complex battleground infused with conflicting interests and politics, Balay Mindanaw hopes that more military peace builders will continue to surprise us with innovative steps towards our common goal of peace in Mindanao.\u00a0<em>(Hazel Aspera)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a
