RELOAD HOPE...RESTORE DIGNITY

Acting on an invitation from MyERAP Davao Chapter, I flew to Davao City to attend and witness their MyERAP launching in Davao.

It was my first time in Davao City.

The Davao experience filled me with much enthusiasm and excitement.

Davao is so nice and clean. Davao City is a testament of true leadership and progress.

I was also surprised to see almost a hundred student leaders declaring support for President Erap for the 2010 Presidential Elections. The outpouring of support for President Erap negates public perception that President Erap is not an acceptable candidate by the youth or students. The student leaders took turns expressing their support for President Erap. Some were in fact crying, while others teary eyed as they narrate their reactions upon viewing the bio-film of President Erap entitled, “Destiny.”

The students narrated that they were inspired by MyERAP and the activities that the group has undertaken since its inception. The students joined MyERAP and vowed to actively promote its cause. They themselves bonded to form MyERAP Davao Chapters in their own respective schools.

The formation of MyERAP Davao Chapters is a refreshing scenario. I am so glad that as a core organizer/founder of MyERAP, I have become an agent in awakening the spirit of the youth to take an active part in nation building.

Long live MyERAP, long live the Filipino youth!

The time has come to RELOAD HOPE and RESTORE DIGNITY!
