The OneVoice27 Initiative was officially launched by the Southwestern Philippine Union Conference (SwPUC) Communication Department in the Central Mindanao Mission in Valencia City on March 5-6, 2026. This initiative aims to develop effective strategies for identifying mission targets by utilizing both digital platforms and the church's regular evangelistic programs. The goal is to present a unified message clearly and precisely.

The one-and-a-half-day training event brought together over 100 selected district pastors, influencers, and representatives from local churches. The sessions focused on areas where the mission can be initiated more easily and effectively.

To enhance the training experience, lecturers with hands-on experience in online ministry were invited, along with an academic expert in English to improve communication and message delivery.

As part of the mission's forward-looking strategy, participants expressed their commitment to implementing the plans one year ahead of the initiative's culmination in September 2027. This plan includes a phased assessment of the implementation process to identify areas for improvement and enhancement.

Special thanks to the Hope Channel team (Gerard Angao, Glenn Hallasgo, Andro Senining, Analiza La Victoria, Alexania Eleia Pido) led by Ma’am Charm Senining, Pr. Meljoie Pepito (NEMM Communication Director), Dr. Catherine Blanco (MVC English Professor), SwPUC Communication Department (Pr. Roxie Pido), and Pr. Randy Blanco, CMM Communication Director. Their efforts greatly contributed to the success of this initiative.

A heartfelt thank you to Pr. Randy Blanco, for his wonderful hosting of this inaugural training event. 

The SwPUC Communication Department will continue offering training and fellowship at various missions and conferences within SwPUC over the next few months.
