The officials and employees of government will be celebrating the Moral and Spiritual Guidance Week for Public Servants in the Philippines starting this Sunday, October 10 until Saturday, October 16. This according to the National Action Council ( NASAC) who is the organizer of the said event. This year’s theme is “Isang Bayang Sumasamba Tungo sa Daan na Matuwid” (One Nation Worships Towards Righteous Living.)
It will be a time for workers in government to remind themselves of the high values of responsibility, integrity, competence, loyalty, patriotism and justice, and to recommit themselves to these same values in the discharge of their duties.
Government officials are also reminded to live modest lives, and to uphold the public’s interest at all times.
This year’s celebration is chaired by NASAC member, the Philippine Medical Association
( PMA).
In line with the celebration, there will be a series of activities and dialogues organized for various sectors of society. Included in these sectors are the government workers, the media, the youth and women sectors, the AFP and the PNP, and the Private Sector.
Special focus will be given to the Filipino family. PMA has earlier expressed its support to the controversial Reproductive Healthcare Bill, stating that the people have the right to be informed of the advantages of an adequate family size, as well as the various methods of birth control taking into consideration the income, values and religious affiliation of the people concerned.
