A leader must be CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE. He is not contented of the status quo. He seeks new things and finds a different way of doing things. by: Ransam S.

Today, this examination is also offered to different organizations and in almost all of John C. Maxwell the countries in the Middle East. Leadership is to create greater value for people around you. In PSME, these people are the members. To be continued in the next issue… When I initially joined PSME in 1987, I was inactive but in 1992 I had the opportunity to become a member of PSME – Saudi Arabia Chapter which gave me the chance to discover what leadership is all about, the PSME way. While learning by doing in PSME, I also applied the knowledge and skills I learned from the company where I worked. I am a member of PSME – SA for two years before seeking an elective position. In 1994 I became an auditor, in 1995 a Secretary, and in 1996 elected as a Chapter President. It is on these years where I learned the way of PSME. All throughout, I followed the directions of our National Leaders and followed the decisions of the supreme members. After then, we showed the way by leading all the chapters in the Middle East. Qualities of a Leader: (First Part) 1. A leader must be CONFIDENT enough to ensure that others follow his command. Members are looking for their leaders to be decisive, matured in thinking, knows what he is doing, firm and bold in his decision, and always think of what is the best for his people. 2. A Leader must have COMMITMENT and PASSION. PSME as an organization needs committed leaders. A leader who dedicates his life to the Society all the way. He must have a Passion to serve not only during his term but even after his term. 3. A Leader should INSPIRE others. In order to inspire members of PSME, leaders must be visible in every chapter activities. He must be with them especially in times of need. In difficult times, he is the source of strength. He protects his people and leads them against their adversaries. 4. A leader should be a GOOD COMMUNICATOR.

Allow me to congratulate the distinguished men and women of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines on your Luzon Island Cluster Conference. Cheers to National President Mayor Ma. Fe “Bubut” Brondial, Vice President Mayor Maria Angela Garcia and Secretary General Mayor Abraham “Jess” Burnham. This assembly enhances the potentials of our local chief executives. I am convinced no less that ang “Kaunlaran ng Bansa, sa Bayan Nagmumula.” I am delighted to be part of this assembly because this is an opportunity for us to bring across labor and employment programs that are beneficial to our municipalities. One such important program is the Public Employment Service Office or the PESO. Republic Act 10691, the amended PESO Act of 1991 was enacted in October 2015, pursuant to the policy of the State to promote full employment in the country. This was authored by the then Chair of the Senate Committee on Labor and Employment, Senator Jinggoy Estrada, who happens to be with us today. Ito ang mahalagang legacy ni Senator Jinggoy sa ating mga LGUs. The Department of Labor and Employment has embarked on several initiatives to address unemployment and underemployment.

  • State of Land Rights and Land Governance in Eight Asian Countries
    State of Land Rights and Land Governance in Eight Asian Countries Forty Years after the World Conference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC) Founded in 1979, the Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC) is a regional association of national and regional networks of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Asia actively engaged in promoting food sovereignty, land rights and agrarian reform, sustainable agriculture, participatory governance, and rural development. ANGOC member networks and partners work in 10 Asian countries together with 3,000 CSOs and community-based organizations (CBOs). ANGOC actively engages in joint field programs and policy discussions with national governments, intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), and international financial institutions (IFIs). The complexity of Asian realities and diversity of CSOs highlight the need for a development leadership to service the poor of Asia—providing a forum for articulation of their needs and aspirations as well as expression of Asian values and perspectives. ANGOC is a member of the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN), Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR), Indigenous Peoples’ and Community Conserved Areas and Territories (ICCA) Consortium and the International Land Coalition (ILC). Land Watch Asia (LWA) is a regional campaign to ensure that access to land, agrarian reform and sustainable development for the rural poor are addressed in national and regional development agenda. The campaign involves civil society organizations in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Pakistan and the Philippines. LWA aims to take stock of significant changes in the policy and legal environments; undertake strategic national and regional advocacy activities on access to land; jointly develop approaches and tools; and, encourage the sharing of experiences on coalition-building and actions on land rights issues.

It has been a decade since property developer Jeffrey Ng was invited by his friend, the late Willie Uy, to join the board of the Subdivision and Housing Developers Associa- tion Inc.

It’s also doing our social obligation to soci- ety, of creating a legacy, wherein every Filipino can, hopefully in the next 10 years, finally get to own their own home.
