Aquino lauds Filipino community in South Korea for their support

Posted on October 19, 2013

SEOUL, South Korea, (PNA) — President Benigno S. Aquino III lauded the members of the Filipino community for support in his government reforms and the various changes he has made in his administration.

The Chief Executive made this statement during his meeting with the Filipino community at the Lotte Hotel here.

“Maraming salamat po dahil kayo ang gumawa ng pagbabago. Kayo pa rin ang boss ko —kayo ang magsasabi kung tutuloy tayo, o babalikan ang lumang kalakaran kung saan iilan lang ang nakikinabang,” he said.

“Nakamtan na po natin ang pagbabago —at nasa atin na pa rin po, nasa kagustuhan nating magkaisa, nasa kamay natin kung paanong gagawing permanente ang pagbabagong tinatamasa natin ngayon,” he added.

President Aquino said that he would remain faithful to his duties, adding that the Filipinos could expect him to continue doing what is good for the Filipino people.

The President said that all the reforms he has instituted in the government are designed to put everything in the righteous path for the benefit of the people.

While the President told them about the recently-concluded standoff in Zamboanga City, the impeachment of the former Chief Justice and the filing of charges against the former president, including the calamities such as typhoons and earthquake that struck the country, the President also mentioned the positive developments in the country.

President Aquino cited the positive developments in the education sector, PhilHealth, the Conditional Cash Transfer Program, as well as his efforts to improve the economy of the country.

“Bago matapos ang taong ito, sarado na ang backlog natin sa classroom, at patuloy pa tayong makakapagpagawa nito para sa mas dadaming estudyante dahil sa K to 12,” he said.

On PhilHealth, the President said that 84 percent of Filipinos have been enrolled to the said program.

“Narinig na rin po siguro ninyo ang ating Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program. Sa programang ito, may cash transfer na natatanggap ang mga mahihirap na pamilya, kapalit ng pagpapapasok sa eskuwela ng kanilang mga bata, at pagpapa-check up kung buntis–mga kundisyong sila rin ang matutulungan,” he said.

President Aquino urged the Filipinos to join the government in its efforts to tread the righteous path.

“Makiisa naman po sana ang lahat at makiambag tungo sa pagbabago,” he said.

“Kung maipapakita po natin ito sa mundo na sa Pilipinas, lahat sumusunod sa batas, baka po pati ang ating GDP growth na 7.6 percent sa first half ng taong ito, ay lalo pang tumaas,” he said.

In closing, the President encouraged the Filipinos living and working in Seoul to help South Korea in the performance of their duties as Filipino community.
