In Conversation and In Sisterhood with Moro People's CORE

In this episode, we are in conversation with Moro People’s CORE or MoroPCORE, a Mindanao-based organization that NAPIESV is supporting under our Bersama-sama Project. Moro People's Community Organization for Reform and Empowerment is a non-profit organization working for community empowerment and peace through education, organization and mobilization. Its mission is to reach out, educate, organize and mobilize the community for empowerment. It believes that through grassroots efforts, a genuine peace can be realized through dialogue, mediation, negotiation, consultation and meaningful talks.  

Let’s get to know our sister organization and check out the interview with Zaynab Ampatuan and Ivy Ampatuan.

About the Podcast

Kumusta, Kumare!
Kumusta Kumare! Is the podcast program of NAPIESV’s Bersama-sama Project in the Philippines.
"Kumusta, Kumare!" Is the podcast program of the National Asians & Pacific Islanders Ending Sexual Violence (NAPIESV) Bersama-Sama Project in the Philippines. We will focus on issues affecting women & girls in the Philippines and connect this to Filipino Diaspora in the United States.

Kumusta is, of course, "How are you?” while Kumare (pronounced koo-mah-re) is a borrowed term from the Spanish comadre literally translated as co-mother. Technically, Filipinos use kumare or it's shortened form "mare" in addressing their children’s godmothers but more commonly as a term of endearment, more like how one would use the term “sister/sistah”.
