00:00At this point, we have a special guest from UNESCO

00:05to talk about UNESCO's Memory of the World Program.

00:11Let's find out how UNESCO will bring this program to the Philippines

00:15and what are the latest updates on their projects

00:19from Jun Suceo, the Program Specialist for Documentary Heritage of UNESCO.

00:25Good morning, sir, and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:27Good morning.

00:29And I think it's your second time here, to be here.

00:32Welcome back.

00:33Thank you so much for being with us.

00:34All right, so Jun Su, tell us about this program of UNESCO,

00:37the Memory of the World Program.

00:39What is it about? Give us an overview.

00:40Okay. Good morning, people of the Philippines.

00:43My name is Jun Suceo from International Center for Documentary Heritage.

00:50We are a public institution based on the agreement

00:54between the Korean government and UNESCO.

00:58And our major mission is to assist UNESCO's Memory of the World Program,

01:04which is essentially about safeguarding

01:07the world's documentary heritage around the world.

01:10And we have 496 items inscribed in UNESCO,

01:18and there are four Philippine documentary heritage,

01:22including Philippine paleographs, old scripts,

01:26and People Power Revolution,

01:29and Presidential Papers of Manuel Crescent,

01:35and Jose Marcela Collection in the University of Philippines.

01:39So one of our major international projects

01:41is to discover documentary heritage around the world.

01:45So we found the Philippines as the best example

01:49that can be inscribed in UNESCO.

01:52Okay, why is it important for us to document

01:55and, of course, acknowledge, know more about

01:58these peace agreements of the Philippines

02:01as part of the cultural heritage?

02:03Oh, so we came to find the Philippine peace agreements

02:09with the Bangsamoro as documentary heritage

02:12to be shared by many,

02:15because to be registered as documentary heritage in UNESCO,

02:20an important consideration, what we call role of significance.

02:25This means that the peace agreements are important

02:29in the Philippines and also in the global community.

02:33So these peace agreements are the very result of a long conflict

02:40and the struggle for its resolution for peacemaking.

02:45So there are still many conflicts around the world,

02:49and still ongoing,

02:52and many peace agreements have been established

02:54with the signatures of national leaders,

02:57but many peace processes turned out to be a failure.

03:01But in this case, we have the Philippine case

03:05with decades of efforts,

03:07and we are successfully doing on the right track,

03:11making long-term peace in Mindanao.

03:14So this case, based on the peace agreements,

03:19represents a chapter of world history

03:22with the global experience of violent conflict

03:25and the achievement of its resolution as peacemaking.

03:28So I think that this is a textbook example

03:31of how peace can be established today.

03:35All right, so Junsu, how is the documentation process so far?

03:39And where do you look at to find those documentary heritage?

03:44And also, which agencies do you partner in the Philippines

03:48for this process of looking for those documentary heritage

03:51to be registered?

03:52Essentially, this project started in the year,

03:57actually this year, early this year.

04:00And we are partnering with NCCA in the Philippines,

04:04National Commission for Culture and the Arts.

04:06And there are five major peace agreements

04:12from 1976 with the Tripoli Agreement,

04:16and 1987 Jeddah Accords,

04:201995 Final Peace Agreement,

04:23and Framework Agreement on the Bansamoro in 2012,

04:27and Comprehensive Agreement on the Bansamoro in 2014.

04:32So we are looking for all these documents, original copies,

04:36and most of them are kept in different institutions.

04:40But basically, in the Philippines,

04:42they're in safe condition.

04:44You know, this is part of our culture.

04:46So technically, we're talking about our identity

04:48before going forward with the other aspects in life,

04:51social, political economy.

04:53We go first with the culture.

04:54We always consider that.

04:55That's why it's important for us, our colleagues,

04:58to know this kind of discussion

05:01because this is a part of our culture and our knowledge.

05:04Well, on that note, how will this benefit our country

05:08or the community with this kind of activity that we're doing,

05:11especially for the future generations?

05:13They need to be knowledgeable about this.

05:15That's an important point.

05:18One important aspect that I want to point out

05:20is that these agreements are the very product

05:24of international cooperation.

05:27So we have organizations like the European Union

05:30and the Organization of Islamic Conference,

05:33and we have national governments

05:35like Malaysia and Indonesia, Japan, and Saudi Arabia,

05:40and we have international NGOs, too,

05:42involved in this peace process.

05:45This means that...

05:46And not to mention the local communities, too.

05:48Of course.

05:49So we can say that peace can be facilitated and developed

05:53with the collective will and collective action

05:55among all these different members of the society.

05:58So if these agreements are going to be registered in UNESCO,

06:07this means that it is the first peace agreements

06:10that become World Documentary Heritage.

06:13So it could be like a textbook example

06:17for education for future generations.

06:20Okay.

06:21With regard to that, how will you increase awareness

06:24in terms of this endeavor or activity?

06:26And also, how can the public participate

06:29and probably help you out in this activity?

06:31Actually, it's a bit on the way

06:33because we are preparing many projects

06:37like in cultural approaches,

06:39including exhibitions in museums

06:43and lifelong education in libraries and schools.

06:48And also, we are preparing some school curriculums,

06:51especially collaborating with universities.

06:55Okay. On that note, thank you so much, Dr. Junsu So,

06:59and hoping this project would really run smoothly.

07:02We're looking forward, of course,

07:03all the Filipinos will be able to know more

07:06about the culture here in the Philippines,

07:08and of course, its documentation, overview, and among others.

07:12Thank you very much.

07:13Thank you very much.
