KKC Profile

The Bishop – Ulama Conference (BUC) in Mindanao has been persistently pursuing Peace Initiatives in the Region for 10 years. To effectively translate their effort in the Local level especially in the grassroots, Bishop Dinualdo D. Gutierrez, D.D of the Diocese of Marbel, one of the Board of Directors of BUC formed the group Kapayapaan Kapatid Council (KKC) in the SOKSARGEN area. The main objective of the Kapayapaan Kapatid Council (KKC ) is to implement the plans and programs of the BUC in the SOKSARGEN AREA. As such, KKC is the fruit of the Bishop Ulama Conference

The Kapayapaan Kapatid Council (KKC) is composed of religious leaders from Muslim, Catholic and Protestant Churches in SOKSARGEN. It also invited as partners the Military (1002nd Brigade) and the PNP in the area. The Local Government Units have been actively participating too in the activities and programs of the Kapayapaan Kapatid Council (KKC).

Starting its inception, the Kapayapaan Kapatid Council has been very active in the peace dialogue between Muslim and Christian in the area. There have been on-going fruitful collaborative efforts during important religious feast on both Muslims and Christians (like Eidel Fiter, Ramadan, All Saints and All Souls Day, Christmas) celebrations that have promoted religious understanding, harmony, tolerance and respect on both sides. Many of these noble projects are among the first in Mindanao’s and the country’s religious history.

DXCP –CMN 585 khz, the Radio Station of the Diocese of Marbel, has been the secretariat of the Kapayapaan Kapatid Council (KKC). The station has been the prime mover and main promoter of BUC”s and KKC’s peace and development advocacy campaign in local and national levels.

This year through the persistent prodding of Act for Peace (UNDP) South Central Office, the KKC has been able to gather many peace advocates group in the to form a peace network. DXCP- CMN becomes their peace center.

KKC has been initiating and making strong organization bond on the different youth organizations.

The tri-youth movement birth comes in one of the Inter-Faith and Cultural in the Moro and Lumad community in Sumbakil, Polomolok, Sotuh Cotabato last August 19, 2007. Unexpectedly, the number of volunteered young people exceeded from what is expected. The same young people showed their enthusiasm to bond themselves together regardless of culture, religious beliefs, and educational status. After, that 1st encounter, series of groups meetings has been facilitated by KKC thru Fr. Angel. They have come from different background, (Muslim, Christian and Lumad youth) and they have been the backbone of the this year’s Mindanao Week of Peace Celebration as the Technical Working Group.


The Kapayapaan Kapatid Council (KKC) has indeed open the path of dialogue between Muslims and Christians in the SOKSARGEN AREA. Thru its various programs and projects it made possible the exchange of ideas, beliefs, appreciation of each culture and religion. Moreover, it made possible the active on-going dialogue between Muslims and Christians. KKC has promoted the culture of respect and peace.
