The gathering welcomed both Adventist and non-Adventist participants, with women comprising the majority of attendees.
The program was strengthened by the presence of community and local government representatives, including the Barangay Captain of Poblacion, a representative from the External Affairs Office of the Municipality of Silang, and a guest lawyer who discussed the laws protecting women and children, particularly the provisions of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children (VAWC) Act. The discussion helped participants better understand their rights, available legal protection, and the importance of speaking up against abuse.
Also present were Pr. Rex Mangiliman, Pastor D**g Quezon, other church leaders, and the Cavite Mission Womenโs Ministries Director, who joined the women in advocating for safer homes and communities.
The campaign also demonstrated that ministry addresses the needs of the whole person. A health screening was conducted as part of the community service component, providing practical care alongside the advocacy and awareness activities.

The advocacy continued on August 23, as ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ ๐ญ ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐บ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ beginning at 6:00 a.m. Participants from different towns came together to publicly declare that violence has no place in the home, church, or community.
At 7:00 a.m., participants joined a motorcade through Imus, escorted by the local police. The public activity brought the EndItNow message into the community and served as a visible call for men and women alike to become advocates for the protection of women and children.
Following the motorcade, participants gathered for an awareness program featuring testimonies and messages on ending violence. A representative from the BJMP Womenโs Desk served as the special guest, adding an important community and institutional perspective to the advocacy.
One of the most meaningful moments of the program came during the commitment ceremony. Following the commitment message delivered by the Cavite Mission Womenโs Ministries Director, pastors representing different districts and churches led the congregation in a united prayer, asking God to strengthen families, protect the vulnerable, bring healing to survivors, and empower the church to become a safe place for those who are hurting.
Women then placed blue ribbons on a white tarpaulin, creating a visible symbol of their personal and collective commitment to help stop violence against women and children. Each ribbon represented more than participation in a programโ it represented a pledge to speak up, extend compassion, protect the vulnerable, and become part of the solution.
The successful EndItNow activities across Cavite Mission emphasized that the campaign is more than a one-day event. It is a continuing call for the church to turn awareness into action and compassion into ministry.
Through the united efforts of the Cavite Mission Womenโs Ministries Department, local churches, district pastors, government partners, community leaders, and members, EndItNow continues to carry a clear message into homes and communities: violence must end, love must protect, and the church must be a voice for those who need to be heard.
As Cavite Mission moves forward in its ministry, the EndItNow campaign reminds every member that ending violence requires everyone to take partโ one voice, one commitment, and one compassionate action at a time.
