MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur (PIA)—The Department of Health (DOH) underscored that having a healthy populace is also a determinant of peace.
“Peace is not only the absence of conflict, but it is also the absence of disease,” said Usec. Myrna Cabotaje who joined the culmination program for this year’s Marawi Week of Peace celebration.
