Former JCI Senator
President Antonio H. Cerilles stressed out the relevance of the JCI Senate
towards the Philippine economy. According to him, the JCI Senators play a
significant role, through their strong commitment towards development and
strengthening of democracy and economy of our country to help solve the
conflicts in Mindanao. Furthermore, he expressed his support in the statement
of JCI Sen. President Anthony Padayhag that they can change the Philippines if
all Jaycee members will put into mind and heart the Jaycee Creed and that
“Government should be of laws rather than of men which means that the JCI
organization will help strengthen Philippine democracy as it focus on the
leadership training for the future leaders who will run the government and its
people. He cited countries which have a strong foundation towards good
governance like America, Canada, Japan, Singapore, England, France and Germany.
These countries are examples of good leadership where they develop the
potential capabilities of the youth because “a Great treasure is human
personality”. Through the partnership and leadership of each JCI member we can
do the things that should be done without waiting for other people to do the
action. Furthermore, he also said that they should not wait for the Government
to do what should be done.
In addition, he also
took the opportunity to thank his fellow JCI Senators for giving him the
opportunity to govern the JCI Senate Philippines for the year 2012. According
to him this duty needs the understanding of his family and all the people of
the Provincial Government. Aside from that, he also said that this duty also
calls for the understanding of all Jaycees in the province for he wants them to
be a part of his leadership. With this he asked all the Jaycees to unite and
not wait for others to serve our fellowmen.
Furthermore, he emphasized that this “re-engineering of the Philippine Jaycees” will help Filipino people, including President Benigno Aquino III in achieving a bright future, not needing any foreign assistance. According to him that will come during the time when they will start a big change through the partnership of the JCI Senate Philippines and the Philippine Jaycees.
Lastly, the governor
was thankful for the unanimous decision of the JCI Zamboanga del Sur Chapter members
for choosing JCI SEN. ADRIANO B. DURANO III to be the new president as he is
known to be a good public servant of Barangay San Francisco, to be specific a Barangay
Captain at present.
