From May 1 to 22 for 21 days, 2nd generation students aging from 12 to 20 years old participated in the 'Philippine 2nd Generation 21-day Special Workshop' in Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center. Normally, workshops for 2nd generations are held during the summer with many other students from around the world but this workshop was organized under the instruction of the Philippine Headquarters due to the different school system in Philippines. After receiving this special instruction from the Philippine HQs Mrs. Yasuko Ramos organized a workshop with Chung Pyung Training Center and it was successfully executed with the help of Mrs. Dulce Buyayo, Blessing and Education Department Director, lecturer Aquino Abner, assistant mother Mrs. Jelly Torres and Mrs. Mei-fin Gualdajara. 24 students participated in the 21-day Workshop and 14 others participated in a 14-day workshop, total of 38 students attending this first time ever special workshop.
The special workshop was held separate from the General 40-day workshop and its quarters were at the 3rd floor Room A of the Chinhwa Educational Building. The students followed their own schedule but participated in special lectures with the general workshop schedule.
The 2nd generations had the following events and programs held during their workshop; 2012 Purification Azalea Festival for the Inheritance of Heavenly Fortune, visiting the Cheon Jeong Gung Museum, 3 Chung Pyung Special 2-day Workshop, Pure Love Education held at the CheongShim Youth Center (Cheong-a Camp), tour to Cheon Jeong Won and a special pilgrimage to Holy Grounds in Seoul.
The students would wake up at 4:30 am to participate in the morning Hoon Dok Hae then go to the holy ground. After participating in the morning Chanyang (holy song session) they attended the Divine Principle Lecture. After eating lunch and self-reflection, they'd attend Hoon Dok Hae, lectures and sometimes Dedication with the General 40-day workshop members. After shower and dinner, they would attend the evening Chanyang then do some Hoon Dok Hae and after attending the night time prayer at the Jeongshim Won at 10:00 pm, they would go to sleep.
On May 16, the members went to Cheon Jeong Gung Museum for a tour. Over 2 hours, members appreciated the great museum and enjoyed the tour held by the staff at Cheon Jeong Gung Museum.
From May 4 to 6, for 3 days the '2012 Purification Azalea Festival for the Inheritance of Heavenly Fortune' (Purification Azalea Festival) was held and the 2nd generations participated with a total of 39,000 people from around the world. There were many graces to be received especially attending the Fulfillment of Wishes Papers Prayer, True Parents Special Words, Prayer-Wish Purification Ceremony for Restoration (Burning Ceremony), Holy Item Lottery Event and etc. For most of the 2nd generations, it was their first time to see True Parents in person.
On May 20, the students moved to CheongShim International Youth Center (Cheong-a Camp) to attend a Pure Love Education produced by the center. They went to the 2nd floor into the Sex Education Center and just under 2 hours attended the special education about protecting their purity until they receive the Blessing from True Parents. They understood the importance of purity and its influence on one's life and married life. They also stamped their finger print on a small card with True Parents' photograph promising that they would keep their purity until the Blessing.
The 2nd generations had a chance to go to Cheon Jeong Won (Pine Ridge Resort), a golf resort where True Parents recovered from the helicopter accident. At that time, Father selected this place as a holy ground and told members to visit this place, a place of substantial restoration for humankind.
On May 17, after participating the morning Chanyang, lead by a lecturer at Chung Pyung Training Center, all the students and staff departed for Pine Ridge Resort. After eating lunch at the restaurant 'Iris' they moved to the Unification Demilitarized Zone located just north of the resort. There, as they over looked North Korea, offered a prayer for the unification of North and South Korea.
In the evening, after eating dinner at 'Iris', they had Sauna and sang songs in the Karaoke. The following morning, after eating breakfast, they all moved to Mt. Seorak. There, they climbed to Heundulbwai (shakable rock), an almost 1 hour hike.
Before leaving the resort, Mr. Jae-bong Kim, President of Pine Ridge Resort and the husband of Hoon Mo Nim came to greet the members and took a commemorative photograph. He also gave out special caps to the members.
The participants attended Dae Mo Nim's words when the general 40-day workshop held its closing ceremony on May 9. On May 22, after Dae Mo Nim taking photographs with the participants from the Original Divine Principle Workshop for Japanese Members in front of the Jeongshim Won, Dae Mo Nim took a commemorative photograph with the 2nd generations and then suddenly at that moment gave words. She asked the members to be role models when they go back to their countries and never smoke cigarettes drink alcohol, do drugs and fall. After her strong message, all the members answered 'Yes!' and waved 'goodbye' to Dae Mo Nim.
After meeting and receiving blessing from Dae Mo Nim, members got on the bus and went on a special pilgrimage visiting the helicopter accident site, Cheon Bok Gung, True Parents' Life Museum, Former HQ church and Dae Mo Nim's Memorial Hall. When they visited Dae Mo Nim's Memorial Hall and were looking around, Dae Mo Nim had suddenly arrived and took a photograph with the members again. The members were so excited to see Dae Mo Nim again. Then Dae Mo Nim invited all the members to eat at a nearby diner with Korean traditional style BBQ. It was so much blessing for the members to receive such treat on one single day.
For 3 weeks, students from Philippines received so much grace and blessings at Chung Pyung Training Center. They arrived here not knowing what to expect but went back with great memories, encounters and experiences.
