Manila, Philippines

About 50 people attended the SOPP ceremony at the Riverbanks Center in Manila. National flags, a peace pole, a globe, a large cloth mandala, and an indigenous altar pole decorated the site. A ritual dance was performed, followed by peace prayers from ten different faiths and spiritual traditions. Global prayers for peace and harmony were accompanied by live music, and then participants prayed for peace in each nation and region on Earth. This was followed by a special address, more live music, and an indigenous gesture of oneness and kinship.
