Coloma leads 'Pilipinas Natin' Pampanga launch
SAN LUIS, Pampanga: Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio “Sonny” B. Coloma Jr. underscored the important role of cooperation between the national and local government as partners in nation-building as he led the Pilipinas Natin launch here.
Speaking before a huge crowd of Kapampangans during the formal launching of the Pilipinas Natin program of the Aquino administration at the Dr. Emigio Bondoc Convention Center Saturday, Coloma stressed the need for teamwork and the participation of various sectors through volunteerism in promoting reforms in the country.
He said that such efforts are part of the Pilipinas Natin progam targeting all Filipinos from all the provinces in the country.
“Ang layunin po natin dito ay pagtibayin ang pagkakaisa ng national at local government kasi iyan po ang magka-agapay sa pagtatatag ng ating bansa… simula nung sa Ultra nagdaos tayo sa Davao City, Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, Camarines Sur at ngayon naman dito sa San Luis, Pampanga,” Coloma said.
“Mayrong common themes or elements, isa na diyan yung teamwork between national government and local government, pangalawa ang youth volunteerism… halos sa lahat ng lugar ang nangunguna talaga ang kabataan at pinapakita nila na yung bagong approach natin sa development, hindi na yung gobyerno lahat ang pinanggagalingan ng biyaya, ang mga tao na mismo ang nagkukusang loob na mag-kumpuni ng mga nasira at solusyonan ang kanilang mga problema,” he added.
Coloma added that these positive traits, that are inherent among Filipinos, should be promoted through the said project based on the Philippine Development Plan, the formula for national reforms.
“Sa aking palagay iyan ang diwa na dapat nating palaganapin sa marami pang lugar sa ating bansa sa pamamagitan ng Pilipinas Natin… ang tema ng Philippine Development Plan na roadmap ng ating bansa sa economic, social and political development ay inclusive growth na ibig sabihin ay kasama ang karamihan,” Coloma said.
“Iniaangat natin yung mga nasa ilalim na siyang pinakamahirap, 23 per cent Class C at 67 per cent na Class D, ang buhay nila ang pinabubuti natin,” he added.
These are through the government’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino, Conditional Cash Transfer and jobs generation programs that are focused on these classes in our society.
Some 1,100 volunteers and 2,000students from Pampanga-based schools and communities from several cities and municipalities including San Fernando, Angeles, Macabebe and nearby provinces like Bulacan, Laguna, Rizal, Nueva Ecija and Metro Manila convened and showed their concern to the country through mobilization and efforts to repair and rehabilitate the typhoon-stricken public school buildings in the area.
The two-day refurbishing activity exemplifies the values and mission of the Pilipinas Natin program.
Also present during the event were San Luis Mayor Asyong Macapagal, PCOO Undersecretary for Operations George Sylinagco and Ms. Maria Montelibano of the Edsa People Power Commission, among others.
Apart from his encouraging messages, Coloma also led the “Panata sa Pilipinas Natin” followed by various performances from participating youth-oriented groups and organizations.
The event was organized in partnership with the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (TOSP) for the “iTayo Na! School Rebuilding Challenge.” (PCOO)

Coloma says Aquino government has sufficient funds for Christmas bonus of state workers
SAN LUIS, Pampanga: Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio “Sonny” B. Coloma Jr. assured that the Aquino government has allotted sufficient funds for the Christmas bonus of all government employees especially now that the yuletide season has started.
In an ambush interview during his attendance to the “Pilipinas Natin” launching, here, Satruday, Coloma said that the much anticipated extra income by the civil servants will surely be released at a most proper time to provide additional support to their needs this Christmas season.
“Sa pagkaalam ko po ay mayroon namang nakalaan na pondo para diyan, hindi naman po ipagkakait iyan… tiyak na sa takdang panahon ay ipagkakaloob sa kanila (government employees) ang mga biyayang nararapat lamang na matanggap nila lalong-lalo na sa kapaskuhan,” Coloma said.
When asked when the bonus will be released, Coloma said the probability is within the second week of December.
“Kung ang pagbabatayan ay iyong nakaraang taon, siguro bago sumapit ang kalagitnaan ng buwan (December) matatanggap na yan,” Coloma noted.
Prior to the interview, the PCOO chief led the launching of “Pilipinas Natin” a developmental nationwide program of the Aquino administration focusing on further enhancing the partnership between the national and local government in nation-building. The program promotes the spirit of volunteerism in every Filipino especially the youth sector.
Pilipinas Natin also aims to uplift the lives of the people, specifically the underprivileged comprising the classes C and D of the society. The Pilipinas Natin program, spearheaded by the PCOO is based on the Philippine Development Plan of the government, the formula for national reforms. (PCOO)
