ICRC promotes IHL at PhilSCA
In line with 150th Celebration
of
International
Humanitarian
Law (IHL) Day, the International
Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) with
the help of the Philippine Red Cross
Pasay City Chapter proudly showcased
a photo exhibit in accordance with
the said commemoration. The event
was conducted at the PhilSCA
Conference Room last August 27,
2013 and was attended by College
officials, students and members of
the Red Cross Community. The IHL
Day is celebrated on the 12th day of
August here in the Philippines.
The purpose of the event is
to inform and encourage the people
to be aware of the International
Humanitarian Law through the
public viewing of milestone photos
that the International Committee
of Red Cross took in pursue to
continually implement the IHL or
also called the “Law of Wars”. Dating
back from 1863 with its birth in the
Geneva Convention in Switzerland,
the IHL persistently sets certain
rules and obligations to the different
parties involved in conflicts. It is a
check and balance system that limits
how countries should be responsible
if they will be waging war.
With an interview with
the Cooperation Director of the
International Committee of Red
Cross, Mr. Aziz Syed Shah Abdul, he
said that the event was conducted to
encourage young people to become
volunteers and know the major
issues, concerns, and provisions of
the IHL.
Mr. Aziz Syed said “Watch
carefully: these photographs. Every
photograph tells a story and every
photograph has a painful or happy
story behind it. Try to see beyond
the photographs. Try to feel the
feeling of those people portrayed in
those photograph. Try to find out the
human suffering and the serving of
Issue No.51
humanity in those photograph and
that’s how you will realize that you
have something to do for them in
your own way.”
He also emphasized “you don’t
have to be a humanitarian worker in
order to help. You can do your own
part in your own expertise.”
Interested student who wants more
information about IHL can log on to
www. icrc.org or they can contact the
local Red Cross chapter in their area.

taon na ring pumaimbulog ang aming
pangarap na magtanghal sa entablado
para masabi at maipagmalaki
naming “amin yan”, mga kataga na
maaring sa tingin ng iba ay mistulang
pagyayabang lamang, ngunit para sa
amin ay isang sandatang tangan para
lalong tumibay ang aming paniniwala,
na isang araw ay maibulalas naming
“tama na nga aming pakikihamok,
ang aming pakikipagsapalaran.”
The program was wrapped on
a curtain call with all the casts and
production staff on stage. Director of
