An old video but nonetheless quite fitting and, interestingly, one of the Black Eyed Peas group, apl.de.ap, wants to be a party to the rebuilding process:
"Among the projects that apl.de.ap would like to spearhead in Mindanao are school-feeding programs and book donations. The singer who used to ride a jeepney to go to his school in Pampanga was often quoted as saying that “education is the only long-term ticket to a better life.”"
"apl.de.ap, along with other celebrity and personality peace ambassadors, were inducted formally by President Benigno Aquino III during the launch of the “I Am for Peace” campaign held on September 14 at Malacaņan.
As a peace ambassador, he pledged to do his best in spreading good news about the country, and in calling on young people in the Philippines and around the world to give peace a chance via Twitter and other social media sites."
