This is the second volume of Winning Peace, and it puts together the winning essays in the competition from 2008 to 2012. This cluster of essays reflects how the youth ‘s perception of peace and involverment in peacemaking has changed over the years. As the ACP metamorphosed into the newly formed and independent Angel C. Palanca Peace Program Foundation, the family is glad to share with everyone these organized jottings and meditations of the young about peace. Let us all be part of their journey towards the eventual globalization of peace.
