On my personal note:
Our experience in NCGG 2013 is meaningful dahil hetot tayot naguusap ng mga usapin tungkol sa good governance. Which is
essentially, may mutual relationship sa planning at budgeting na
mahalagang aspect lalo na sa mga PA students here in UCC. Ang
bawat plano ng gobyerno marapat na nakalaan at nakatuon sa
kapakanan ng mamamayan, yun po ang esensya ng good
governance. Paumanhin kong magiging idealist ako, Why we want
GOOD GOVERNANCE because for the past decades, we have bad
governance? Ang punto koy sapat na ang salitang governance
dahil historically ang role ng government ay for the common good.
As we part ways, I hope kahit paanoy may naiambag ang NCGG at
kami mula sa Adamson sa ating pangarap na mas magandang
Pilipinas. Hindi sapat ang status, comment, LIKE at tweets, what
we need is direct participation.
Hanggang sa muli, SERVE THE PEOPLE! SALAMAT PO!
