Statement of Secretary Ignacio R. Bunye
Malacanang, Manila, 1 November 2007

The President has ordered the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) to maintain a tight watch over the implementation of grassroots projects to fight poverty. She said every department must submit to NAPC a concrete plan on how to cascade the gains of the economy to the marginalized sectors.

"Let us open the doors to public dialogue on how best to fight poverty and bring our nation closer together," the President said. She explained that her administration would like to hear specific suggestions and creative ideas from the people on how a reinvigorated partnership for growth can come about between the government and the citizenry.

"Let us reinvigorate our democracy through broad and open nonpartisan public discourse on a national agenda for growth and development. I am ordering NAPC to take the lead in going to the grassroots and serving as a receptacle for new strategies and ideas to defeat poverty," the President said. (OPS)
