2016 opener: EMC chief urges gov’t workers to lead change on society

From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 4): 2016 opener: EMC chief urges gov’t workers to lead change on society

The commanding general of the Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC) on Monday urged government workers to take the lead in realizing change in society by enthusiastically serving the people.

Speaking in the first flag-ceremony of the Association of Regional Executives of National Agencies (ARENA) 11, EMC chief Major General Leonardo Guerrero lauded the presence of everyone, saying it only showed honor and allegiance to flag and country.

“It is also symbolic of our desire to bring about peace to our country through a renewed commitment to faithfully serve our countrymen,” Guerrero said.

He expressed hope that ARENA, which has come a long way in public service, would continue to act as a catalyst of change by way of actively delivering the basic services on the depressed communities.

Guerrero underscored that the ARENA’s Serbisyo Caravan Program, a venue for consultation between government agencies and the people, had been a government model in providing socio-economic interventions in conflict-affected areas.

“I therefore urged members of the ARENA to continue to foster the spirit of camaraderie and fellowship among its members and use this to sustain the condition of peace and development that is shared not only by the security forces but also by society in general,” he said.

Guerrero urged the ARENA to continue to provide effective leadership and to promote good governance and the delivery of services needed by the people and to continue to win the peace in Davao Region.

He also assured that the military under the Eastern Mindanao Command would continue to engage all stakeholders for convergence and collaboration in order for the attainment of a lasting peace and sustainable development.

The first flag-raising ceremony in 2016 was sponsored by the Department of Social Welfare and Development 11 under director Prescilla Razon.
