In response to the call to action by President Noynoy Aquino for the people to support and communicate the reforms made under his administration, KOMPRe not only accepted the challenge but committed to defending and pushing for more reforms before the end of his administration.
“We have already been communicating reforms made under this administration. In fact, a majority of our members are involved in “Ipadama ang Reporma”, a grassroots program under which we explain to the people how to access government services made available precisely because of his good governance, ” said KOMPRe lead convenor Karina Constantino-David after the President’s speech.
“Apart from supporting existing reforms, KOMPRe will push hard for the coalition’s priority reform agenda such as the Anti-dynasty Law, Freedom of Information Act and budget and tax reform,” David added.
“The President reminded his allies and supporters that reform advocacy is everyone’s responsibility,” said Leah Navarro, one of KOMPRe’s convenors. “In fact, instead of our focusing on who he may anoint as his successor, I believe he enjoined every Filipino to be his anointed in pursuing the “Tuwid na Daan” message and reforms.“
Opposition groups and politicians known to be critics of the Aquino administration were visibly absent because it has become evident that these are counter-reformists who are already being affected by the reforms under :Tuwid na Daan” such as the filing of plunder cases against senators who were allegedly involved in the PDAF scam.
Organizations under the KOMPRe umbrella represented during the event were Pinoy Pinay, Gabay at Alalay Para sa Olongapo, PPVR-Rizal, PPVR-Muntinlupa, Impact Solutions Institute, Aksyon Demokratiko, Care for Philippines Movement, Associated Labor Unions, Kilos Mamamayan, PAKISAMA, Urban Poor Alliance, Akbayan-NCRR, DemokraXXIa, PPVR-Quezon City, Ahon Pilipinas, Lingap Balen, Akbayan-Calabarzon, BnW Youth, Akbayan-National, DemokraXXIa – Libertas, Aksyon Demokratiko, Mamamayang Liberal, PAKISAMA, Liberal Party Youth, UP All-Pasig, Aksyon Kababaihan, Change Politics Movement, Filipino Liberal Youth (FLY), UP All-Taytay, Damayan, INCITEGov, PPVR-Valenzuela, Aksyon – Mandaluyong, UP ALL-Manila, ROCO, CPM-Caloocan, PPVR Manila, KV1 Montalban, Student Council Alliance-Phils (SCAP), PPVR-Angeles City, Pampanga, Akbayan Youth, Center for People’s Empowerment, PPVR-Cavite and PILIPINA. – END
