The said activity was spearheaded by the Al-Risalah Radio Zamboanga, Inc. and Addhiya Foundation, Inc., and was participated by representatives from the Madaris, school-based youth organization, professionals, entrepreneurs, community leaders, private sectors, academe, Zamboanga City LGUs, and security sectors.
Al-Risalah Radio Zamboanga, Inc. has a block time arrangement with RPN-DXXX AM station in Zamboanga City where they cite Koranic admonitions against violence and factual information to disprove the extremist propaganda. They are hopeful that through the radio programs, they can save the people especially the youth from getting indoctrinated with the false ideology of the violent extremists.
Addhiya Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization and one of the Islamic foundations currently operating to provide charitable works and humanitarian relief to the people of Zamboanga and the nearby provinces. It was founded by a group of preachers who graduated from Islamic universities with truthful Islamic methodology derived from the Qur’an and Sunnah.
At this year’s Annual Pre-Ramadan Conference, the two organizations conceptualized the launching of Protect Peace Initiative. They defined Protecting Peace as creating a functional environment for growth guarded by the rule of law.
