World-class Pinoy artists support Universal Peace Foundation's 'One Million Rally of Hope Philippines'

The Universal Peace Federation (UPF), an NGO holding a general consultative status with the United Nations, spearheaded the One Million Rally of Hope Philippines this weekend. The virtual gathering is a call for collective prayers for greater hope, peace and solidarity during these difficult times

. The program is set from 3:00-5:00PM (PH time) on Saturday, February 6. The theme is “One Million People Praying for the Healing of the Nation and the World.”

In an interfaith gathering, millions of Filipinos and global citizens are joining forces to pray for the world’s healing in the midst of this pandemic and raise awareness on Mother Earth’s healing.

This event also aims seek help for all the families and communities displaced by the various calamities that swept the nation. Through an online campaign, the intent is to rally for more support for communities to rise again. Another project that will be highlighted is the campaign to support the “Billion Tree Planting and Growing Project.” This will be conducted in partnership with the national and local government units.

A consistent sub-theme of all four Rally of Hope events, as well as UPF’s World Summit series, is that of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universal values. Respectively, it means an economy of parity shared interdependently, a governing system that is transparent and participatory, and a common set values based on the extended family. UPF is committed to abolishing racial discrimination, eradicating poverty and starvation, and ending religious conflict.
