THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AND LEARN ON THIS JUSTICE-BASED PEACEBUILDING JOURNEY
I am Emil Jonathan Soriano, living in San Pedro, Laguna, with my wife and our three sons, aged 17, 13, and 9. I currently serve as the Theology Network and Engagement (TNE) Manager for Tearfund and as the focal lead for Reconciled and Peaceful Societies (RPS) in the Asian region. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of the East and a Master of Divinity degree in Cross-Cultural Missions from the Asian Theological Seminary. Additionally, I am the Chairman of the Board for PeaceBuilders Community, Inc. (PBCI), a position I assumed in 2024 after several years as a board member. I have known Rev. Dann “Lakan” Pantoja and his wife, Joji, for over a decade. Our shared advocacy for the Bangsamoro struggle for self-determination brought us together, and we have since collaborated in various forums and peacebuilding initiatives.
