On December 13, 2025, a Family Peace Blessing Ceremony for 59 couples was successfully held in Batuhon Dacu, Dauin, Negros Oriental, under the guidance of the Dumaguete, Negros Oriental Educational Center in the Visayas, Philippines.

The activity was led by the HTM-registered blessed couple and Cheon Bo Challenger Johnny Laranjo and Victoria Domdom Laranjo, one of the 43 Couples under the Byeongguk Lee and Cherry Laranjo Tribe. The ceremony was officiated by Representative Officiators Cheon Bo Jose Jerry Carale and Emily Carale.

The purpose of the activity was to extend the Blessing of our True Parents to the local community, opening the way for witnessing through the building of bonds and relationships. It also served as a concrete effort toward church growth, as the newly blessed couples were educated and encouraged to continue their spiritual journey by attending Heavenly Parent, True Parents, and Holy Mother Han.

The event was carried out through a community-based Peace Blessing ceremony, followed by education and guidance that introduced the participants to ongoing church activities and family-centered programs. Special appreciation is extended to Cherry Laranjo, Nay Nemesia, Johnny Laranjo, and Victoria Laranjo for their unity and dedication in making the activity successful. The program manager and director is headed by the Dumaguete, Negros Oriental Senior Pastor Pedro Dibdib. This Peace Blessing reflects a strategic approach to witnessing and education—nurturing blessed couples while simultaneously reaching out to their children, especially those aged 16 to 30, thereby laying a strong foundation for multigenerational witnessing and sustainable church growth. Victory!
