Kaya Natin: Honor, Patriotism and Duty
by Marisa Lerias
I’ve had the privilege of working with various government institutions since I joined the Kaya Natin Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership. In the course of carrying out our mission to be instruments for good governance, I had to brave offices that you wouldn’t normally deal with. One of them was the Philippine Army.
Kaya Natin and the Philippine Army (PA) started our partnership at the height of all the negative publicity and intrigue that plagued the PA organization. There was a gap between our soldiers and the people. I couldn’t see any reason why this shouldn’t be bridged. After all, they are an integral part of government and shouldn’t be ignored. However, I was a skeptic because positive feedback was scarce.
