President Benigno S. Aquino III urged the officers and members of the Student Catholic Action of the Philippines (SCAP) to continue helping his administration in the
transformative process of nation building that he initiated since he assumed the presidency.
The President issued the appeal in his impromptu speech at the 10th SCAP National Leaders Conference and Diamond Jubilee celebration of the Student Catholic Association (SCA) on Monday at the Fleur-de-lis Theater of St. Paul University in Malate, Manila. The theme of this year’s conference is “Change: A Call to Every Juan!â€
Being involved in the spiritual formation that produces the Christian leaders, the President cited the important role of the youth in society.
“Kayo talaga ang pagasa ng kinabukasan pero kayo rin ang puwedeng maging solusyon ng kasalukuyan. Kayo kasi ang makakaalam kung ano ang tama at ano ang mali. Kayo ang puwedeng gumising sa mga nagtutulog-tulugan at pilit pinaiiral ang lumang sistema. Bottomline nito, talagang nasa interes ninyo ang makialam, makilahok at makisama sa pagsasaayos ng ating lipunan,†the President said.
The President thanked the SCAP for supporting his good governance and reform measures campaign.
“In last year’s election you did support my candidacy and if I have an opportunity to do the actual changes it is because of your help. Then I am looking forward for the same help as we continue the transformative process in our country,†the President said.
The President informed the teachers and students that about the good things in the government for the past nine months, particularly when he implemented reform measures such as the intensive graft and corruption drive.
One of these good news is the decrease in the carnapping incident in the first quarter of 2011. The President noted that based on data from the Philippine National Police, 489 cases of combined 4-wheel and motorcycles carnapping were recorded in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 255 in the same quarter this year.
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) also reported to the President that the pollution index in Metro Manila has been improving.
On job employment, the President said that both the AG&P and the Convergys, one of the leading call center and business process outsourcing company, vowed to expand their operation in the country and help his administration create jobs for Filipinos.
