The seeds of Yes for Peace – Bayanihan ng Bayan (YFP-BB), a non-government initiative to get the Filipino people into the centerstage of the comprehensive peace process that was eventually supported by government agencies, was planted at the Diliman campus of the University of the Philippines (UP) in 1988.
Four years later, in 1992, the campaign, which was then known as DiYes for Peace was recognized by the UP Board of Regents when it resolved to declare all UP campuses a Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality (ZOPFAN), as well as support the campaign inside and outside of UP.
The campaign silently moved on until it was identified as one of the strategies to address the root causes of the insurgency by the 4th National Peace and Order summit in 1995.
