ONE DAY OFFICIALS

OFFICIALS FOR A DAY

“HARANGAN MAN NG BAGYO” an idiom in pure Filipino, which means after almost being spoiled by two SUPER typhoons; PAENG and QUINEE; the much awaited turn-over of our scouts both Boys and Girls as one day public officials was pushed through last Nov. 13, 2006.

Participated by more than 72 active boys and girls from different schools around the city, all of them were formally presented to the government employees during the flag ceremony last November 13. After a short orientation, the scouts took their steps to stay in their counterpart’s office and serve as Mayor, Vice Mayor, Councilors, Department heads and DepEd officials.

Happy as most of them are, the scouts considered the day as a special day of learning. Most of them were very enthusiastic in observing the actual day in public service. The activity was culminated by a special Sanguniang Panglungsod Session conducted by the scouts themselves. The said activity was held at the session hall at around 3:30PM.

Among the noted experiences was Scout Julius Q. Gomez’s experience as the Boy City Mayor where he was invited by Hon. James Gordon himself to accompany him in all the meetings and activities for the said day to include the orientation of the group of incoming trainees for Hanjin, a consultation meeting with students, drivers, vendors and other constituents for the issue of the new traffic scheme being implemented in 18th st. According to Scout Gomez the activity made him realize how busy the mayor’s schedule is and made him see how the mayor listens to all the concerns of his constituents before he decides on certain issue.

Also part of the output of the whole day activity was the result of the Session.Presided by the Boy Vice Mayor Kenny Fernando, the group of 12 boy and girl councilors approved seven (7) significant resolutions which will certainly affect the council for the next month to come.

The activity ended with a message coming from the activity adviser Hon. Edwin Piano extending his warm congratulation to all the scouts who participated in the whole day activity.
