Brushstrokes became voices and canvases turned into calls for action as West Visayas State University unveiled the weeklong “Pag-amlig” Peace Art Exhibit on February 21 at its Administration Building.
Thirteen compelling posters line the university halls, each echoing a shared conviction: safeguarding the West Philippine Sea belongs not only in policy discussions, but also in the hearts of an informed and engaged generation.
Rooted in the February 14 forum on maritime awareness and national security, the artworks reflect students’ insights translated into purposeful design by participants from NSTP–CWTS, ROTC, and the College of Education Graduate School.
The initiative came to life through the collective efforts of the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea, the International and Local Linkages Office, the Office of the University President, NSTP, the University Library, and the Center for Peace Education.
