NGOs bridge the GAP

Locked in a closet for privacy, I snuck out during lunch break to deliver a message to partner NGOs during the provincial NGO network KAABAG SA SUGBU General Assembly to encourage them to continue collaboration, partnerships and consortia.  Main messages I want to share is that:

1.  There is a big role for NGOs in the community especially despite of or moreso because of COVID19 pandemic.  Obviously the government is not capable of providing all essential public services to the communities.  NGOs bridge the gap.

2.  Teamwork makes the dream work.  Each NGO complements each other in projects, activities, movements. As Hal Atienza says "we make things happen".

3.  There is power in numbers.  We continue to be watchdogs for peace and order, social justice, and good governance.  We call out political leaders who might abuse their powers.

4.  The solution to pollution is dilution.  There is a lot of fake news that abounds on social media where our children are these days.  It is our moral and ethical responsibility to make sure that accurate reliable information is equally available to the general public.
