III. November 13, 2025 – Luzon Engagement with FFWPU Leadership This report presents the summary of key events, messages, and strategic directions shared by Dr. Yong during his visit and meeting with selected Philippine leaders. His guidance focused on the current situation in Korea, the mission of True Mother, reflections on True Father’s course, and the global development of Tong-Il Moo-Do (TIMD). At 2:20 PM, Dr. Yong arrived and was warmly welcomed by selected leaders from the Philippines. Upon arrival, he proceeded to Cheonshim Won, where he offered a solemn Kyeongbae and prayer. The formal program commenced at 3:00 PM, beginning with a welcoming message delivered by Dr. Julius Malicdem. Thereafter, after Dr. Venus Agustin gave an introduction with video presentation, introduced Dr. Yong officially to deliver his keynote speech. Dr. Yong emphasized the importance of Cheonshim Won, established by True Mother, as a unifying spiritual foundation for members worldwide. Dr. Yong shared that many Korean members, including his own children, have been inquiring about True Mother’s current situation, reflecting deep concern and longing for her stability and well-being. He also recalled his most recent encounter with True Mother at the Namhyangju Church, where she spoke for 40–50 minutes. He noted that this was a rare and significant moment, offering profound inspiration and guidance.

Dr. Yong reflected on his recent experience in Las Vegas, where he gained deeper understanding of True Father’s course and the challenges he faced in that environment. He highlighted a key teaching of True Father: “If you want to restore Las Vegas, you need to know Satan. You need to understand what is happening in Las Vegas.” This, he explained, underscores the importance of understanding the spiritual realities and challenges within any mission field. Dr. Yong expressed his strong support for Tong-Il Moo-Do (TIMD) as a powerful and effective witnessing tool for the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU). He stated his intention to collaborate closely with President Hori to further develop and strengthen TIMD programs worldwide. Dr. Yong also encouraged Dr. Venus and Dr. Bernard to work collaboratively with FFWPU leadership to ensure that TIMD is fully integrated into witnessing activities and youth engagement strategies.

He expressed that this initiative serves not only to develop future TIMD leaders but also to strengthen global unity and uplift young people across many nations. Dr. Yong further acknowledged the Philippines’ exemplary contribution to the advancement of TIMD. He highlighted the success of the “Zero to Hero” 120-Day Project, noting that it remains a model of dedication, discipline, and transformational impact. Dr. Yong’s visit provided valuable spiritual guidance, strategic direction, and renewed encouragement for the leaders and members of the Philippine movement. His emphasis on strengthening Cheonshim Won-centered faith, enhancing witnessing through Tong-Il Moo- Do, and advancing global youth development reflects a visionary path forward. The Philippines’ continued leadership in Tong-Il Moo-Do serves as a strong foundation for future international initiatives, including the 2026 TIMD instructors training program in Korea. Dr. Yong delivered a powerful Tong-Il Moo-Do orientation, reflecting on his historic “Zero to Hero” Project, previously co-hosted by the International Peace Leadership College (IPLC) and WTMF–Philippines.
