ISAT - U Light of Peace: Young People Working To Attain World Peace

The year 2015 is indeed auspicious for Iloilo Science and Technology University or ISAT - U. The institution's status has been elevated to university after a grueling process. At the same time, it has been declared as the first Inner Peace University. To celebrate these achievements, a U Light of Peace was held last June 30, 2015 and with more than a thousand people, mostly students, in attendance. The MiddleWay Meditation Institute - Iloilo, the organizer of the Light of Peace events, headed by its Director, Ven. Burin Thitakusalu, and the university's administration under the leadership of Dr. Raul Muyong, ISAT U's first president, worked together to ensure its success.

More than a hundred student volunteers led by the Peace Gen Philippines members worked hard for nearly a month to prepare for the event. They were guided by a Peace Gen team from Thailand who had previous experience in conducting similar events in the various universities in their country. On the other hand, Dr. Andres Ortega Jr took the helm of the working committee set up by the university.
