Play for Peace Club in the Philippines
Cebu Club
Founded as Play for Peace Club: 2013
Mentor: Mitzi Figueroa
Regional Coordinator: Rita Nguyen
Location: Cebu, Philippines
Focus: To strengthen the confidence, self-image, and morale of local volunteers,
community members, and youth.
The Play for Peace Cebu Club was created in 2013 with the help of five volunteers, most notably Trainer Bre Segundo Abrea, who played a key role in the club’s expansion and initiatives. The club began facilitating quarterly play sessions in various schools and universities with Bre's mentorship and guidance. Volunteers then strengthened their Play for Peace skills through sessions provided by professional trainer Irvin Torralba, professional instructor and facilitator Kirk Patrick Castro, and Play for Peace trainers Richard De los Reyes and Anbern Guarrine.
Today, the club works to strengthen the confidence, self-image, and morale of every volunteer,
community member, and youth joining their sessions. Self-image is important, because how we
think about ourselves affects how we feel and interact with others and
the world around us. A positive self-image can boost physical, mental, social, emotional, and
spiritual well-being. The club hopes that through the play sessions, they are able to boost the self-
esteem of every community member.
