RP faces a better future says VP Noli
Despite the political bickerings, Vice President Noli "Kabayan" De Castro gave hope to Filipinos, saying the Philippines is facing a better future.
Speaking during the Centro Escolar University (CEU) Centennial Quality Awards in Mendiola, Manila yesterday, De Castro said he sees better days ahead for the country owing to the kind of education that the youth is getting from schools today.
De Castro particularly cited the educational institutions that can be found in the University Belt in Manila such as the CEU and the University of the East (UE) where he graduated.Proof to this, he said, is the growing number of Filipinos who are being employed in foreign lands because of their competitive will in almost any field."Our educational system continues to produce quality graduates who can make it abroad," De Castro, who is also the Presidential Adviser on Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), said.
The Vice President cited the benefits of having more OFWs among which is that fact that Filipinos now live in a global economy where opportunities are open to all and because the country benefits greatly from the remittances of the OFWs.
However, De Castro presented an alternative view of the Philippines which many of the Filipinos are now thinking of leaving behind.If the Philippines maintains its present course, De Castro said Filipinos are headed towards becoming the new success story of Asia."There is a future in our country and it is one that we will build together," he said before members of the CEU's academe.
Thus, he challenged the youth to serve their own country and to use their talents for the land."I challenge you to see the opportunities in the horizon. And maybe, you yourselves will come up with the conclusion that, indeed, we have a bright future ahead," he added. (PNA)
