The Uniharmony Partners Manila
On the 5th Day of the World Interfaith Harmony Week, the Pacific Dialogue Foundation (PDF) and UP Diliman (both active members of the Uniharmony Partners Manila) sponsored the showing of two inspirational Turkish movies, “Butterfly” and “Two Hearts as One.” A live broadcast with the scriptwriter and producer followed after. Participants got to interact with the barista/cooks and enjoyed the cultural exhibition of West Asian cuisine offered by the Muslim Turkish UPM partners. During the intermission, the Pacific Dialogue Foundation, through its president Selim Yavuz Sirinoglu gave a Token of Appreciation for the outgoing UP Chancellor Michael Tan for his ever-supportive collaboration with the Turkish community during his term as a chancellor. The presence of the promoters of Interreligious Dialogue made this event meaningful as it was a showcase of solidarity, mutual respect for cultural diversity, and the appreciation and enjoyment of reciprocity between cultures.
