With the rebranding of the government’s peace body, the Filipino people can rest certain that the pursuit of just and enduring peace would continue.

This comes after President Rodrigo Duterte signed an executive order (EO) reorganizing and renaming the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity (OPAPP) to the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity (OPAPP) (OPAPRU).

“As OPAPRU, we will be maximizing the power of convergence so that we can effectively communicate the message of peace across the broadest spectrum of society and rally the support of all sectors behind our collective vision – to heal the wounds caused by armed conflict and foster genuine peace, reconciliation, and unity among our countrymen,” said OPAPRU Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. in a statement on Saturday.

The newly reconstituted OPAPRU, according to Galvez, is keener to “maintain the accomplishments of the national government in moving forward the comprehensive peace process” over time.

The policy framework for peace, reconciliation, and unity is guided by three principles: conflict-sensitive and peace-promoting, whole-of-society, and empowering. EO No. 158 was signed on December 27.

“We believe that this development is positive not only for our group but also for the overall Philippine peace process,” says the statement “Galvez stated.

He also mentioned the newly restructured OPAPRU “demonstrates the Duterte administration’s commitment to not only building on and maintaining peace victories but also bringing reconciliation and unity among our people.”

Galvez claimed that armed confrontations in the country have decreased in the last four years, “with no significant occurrence.”

“It’s a testimonial that individuals who utilized violence to further their own selfish goals have learned that nothing can be accomplished with a gun,” he continued. “More importantly, they have recognized that those who travel the road of peace receive wonderful things.”

As it prepares to transition into OPAPRU, the then-OPAPP has been working with renowned institutions to strengthen its internal structures, policies, and processes, according to the peace adviser.

The Silver Trailblazer Award for Initiation Stage to Compliance Stage during its Performance Governance System (PGS) Public Revalida, which has influenced the success of its everyday operations, was one of its recent accomplishments.

It was also named to the Commission on Audit’s list of the best accounting firms, with the highest rating of “unmodified opinion” for “fairness” in financial statement presentation for the year 2020.

“This award recognizes OPAPP’s dedication to using best accounting practices in carrying out its critical mandate of advancing the overall Philippine peace process,” Galvez stated.

The President, who will give overall policy guidance in the conduct of the comprehensive peace process, will lead the administrative structure to operationalize the policy framework on peace, reconciliation, and unity under EO 158.
