Destroying Credibility

By Judys Cogo

PSALM 37:3-9, said “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the down, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. 

Do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked scheme. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the Land.”

MANILA - The Coalition of Civil Society Organizations will be frustrated again on their campaign if the author of National Land Use Bill still fails to submit some recommendations from High-level Discussion today; they need to wait for another series of meetings for additional inputs so that the senate can come up in their final version.

“This is the mother of all plans that cuts across landscapes and generations. We need to pass this Bill NOW as our legacy to our children and children's children.”
