The Rotary Club of Pasay Cyber City participated in the 2019 International NGO Conference on History & Peace by sending Past-President Raymond Ciriaco who led one of the workshops promoting a global understanding of Peace and Reunification in the East Asia region. This is also in commemoration of 100th anniversary of Korea's independence movement of 1919 (coincides with the birth of Rotary in Asia 1919 upon the charter of the RC Manila). Initially Centered in East Asia (Korea, China, Japan and the Philippines) a better appreciation of global historical events impact on our current situation is pivotal to establishing peace and reconciliation towards a peaceful cooperation amidst the pains of colonialism, invasion and wars left by the great powers of imperialism in the last century. We must learn the lessons and promote awareness of critical events that have led to conflict: territorial disputes, trade wars, currency wars if we are to prevent what has eventually led to "shooting wars".
