It is the first civilian-led mission, which brings various youth and civil society groups.

They are bringing supplies such as food, medicines, navigation tools, and other Christmas gifts to fishermen and frontliners.
The first leg will be from Manila to El Nido, where the mission proper will commence.

The mission was months in the making, with several authorities initially disapproving of the plan.
Atin Ito Coalition secured clearance from the National Security Council late November, but with changes in the itinerary.
The mission will only pass through the general vicinity of Ayungin Shoal, before proceeding to the Patag and Lawak Islands.
"We want to deliver a message that the concern for the front lines and the West Philippine Sea should not be a concern of the government alone. It should be a concern of citizens," Atin Ito co-convenor Edicio Dela Torre earlier said.
"Kung ito'y atin na, ipagtanggol natin."
