hey friends and countrypeople. 
please send me mail or a private message if you want to get together and do the “light for life 1/25″ it can be as simple as staying in some coffee shop and lighting one candle together (para matipid or just creating a text-brigade structure to make sure that we all remember to light our candles for peace am open to suggestions.
as i see it, this candle-lighting is not just to end the war in gaza. as the event-description says, it’s to remember, in our silence, those who suffer because of war. i think it’s safe to take that to mean war WHEREVER. and war OF ANY KIND.
dito sa ating minamahal na pilipinas, napakarami nang namatay, nasaktan, natapakan, nagdusa o nabilanggo (at hindi lamang sa kulungang bakal) dahil sa pakikipaglaban para sa kapayapaan. let’s get together for peace, in whatever shape or form. we need to do something.

______________
The reignited war in Gaza is entering its fourth week. The decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict has yet to be resolved, and the protracted war has caused the loss of innocent lives. It is not an easy war to understand, and each of us has political and religious beliefs and biases. We may not agree with other people’s stands on the war. Perhaps the one thing we all acknowledge is the fact that there has been unnecessary bloodshed on both sides, blood of women, of children, and of those who fought in the war.
On January 25, 2009 (Sunday) at 8:00pm local time, people around the world, regardless of political and religious belief, will participate in Light for Life. It is not promoting any stand, nor is it advocating any political action. It is a call for solidarity with a simple goal: to remember victims of the war. We invite you to light a candle and spend two minutes in silence.
What else can you do?
GET COUNTED
If you would like to participate in Light for Life, send an e-mail with your name and location to lightforlife125@gmail.com. If you have a Facebook account, confirm your attendance to the Light for Life event.
SCATTER THE LIGHT
Tell your family and friends about Light for Life. Forward this e-mail, invite them to the sign up to the Light for Life event on Facebook, send a text message, leave a post-it note. Organize your own get together (perhaps dinner, movie night, an open discussion on the war) on January 25 at 8:00pm so that you can participate in Light for Life as a group.
LET OTHERS SHINE
Take Light for Life to your school or workplace. Encourage your schoolmates and co-workers to join the event on January 25, as well as the off-shoot Light for Life which will be participated in by schools and offices on January 26 (Monday) at their own convenient time. Please also let us know if your school or office will be participating by sending us an e-mail with your school/ company name and an estimate of how many will be joining.
CREATE AN AFTERGLOW
Share with the rest of the world how you, your family, and your friends participated in Light for Life by e-mailing photos, reflections, or anything about your experience. These will be put up on our page (lightforlife.multiply.com) to show everyone around the world one of the many creative, non-violent ways we can work towards peace.
SHARE THAT LIGHT BULB MOMENT
if Light for Life has inspired you to come up with other ideas for peace initiatives, whether on the individual, community, national, or international level, let us know about it. Send us an e-mail or share it on Facebook! Who knows, your idea might just spark other light bulb moments across the globe!
Remember, this is just the beginning. We hope that Light for Life serves as a starting point for discussions and other civil actions that advocate for peace not only in Israel and Palestine, but also in all our own countries and the rest of the world.
People around the world still believe in peace. Light for Life, and speak for those who do not have a voice in this conflict.
