The President, during the commemoration of the 60th year of RP-India relations at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City, said it is now time for Filipinos and Indians living in the Philippines to pull together and focus on family and the community as the world economy continues to challenge both the developed and developing nations.
?We must now shift into a new era of volunteerism and community spirit,? the Chief Executive said as she cited the need to include the government, the religious, the civic groups, the non-governmental organizations and the Federation of the Indian Chambers, in ?harnessing our people to engage in coordinated volunteer activities.?
She said Filipino and Indian friends could focus on volunteer activities like by cleaning up the environments, building parks, planting trees, bringing comfort to the poor through food banks and bringing literacy to those who cannot read and write.
The Chief Executive said during these trying times, the Filipinos as well as the Filipino-Indians community, should ?brought each one of us to count our blessing and give back to those who are less fortunate.?
?Our nation, the nation you (Indians) have chosen to call your home made us all pulling in the same direction, volunteering time, skills and resources is a noble undertaking we should all take seriously,? she said.
In this lean global economic times, the President also underscored the need to tap international support for volunteerism.
?We need to promote citizen?s involvement, including the Indians, who have became Filipino citizens and resident?s involvement, including the Indian citizens, who have been residing in the Philippines for so long, we need all of you to help friends, families, communities and the less fortunate, notably, revolving around the poor and the environment,? she said.
The President said she made this call in line with her declaration for the month of May as Volunteerism Month.
She expressed hope that as part of the 60th year of celebration of RP-Indian diplomatic relations, the Federation of Indian Chamber, will use this month to launch some of volunteer projects for the poor and the environment.
