A church-led grassroots movement will organize advocates in parishes across the country who will act as “champions” of good governance and nation-building.
“We need to organize the working teams who will lead the engagements for economic empowerment and participation in local governance,” said the priest, who is also the national convenor of Simbayanihan. The national Caritas said the program also aims to form and support principled politics and politicians and create “critical vigilance” among communities.
Fr. Rex Paul Arjona, one of the convenors of Simbayanihan, said the movement is focused on linking existing good governance and community development programs through organization and partnership building, training and formation for responsible citizenship, and principled cooperation with government.
