Arroyo aims for ‘just and moral’ RP society (7:59 p.m.)
MANILA -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has strengthened the Presidential Council on Values Formation (PCVF) as part of her administration's goal for a “just and moral” Philippine society.
Arroyo, through Executive Order (EO) 713, tasked the PCVF to serve as the lead agency that would work with the private sector for the establishment and institutionalization of just and moral governance.
She gave the order following the calls from the private sector and the Catholic clergy for a moral renewal and stronger efforts to curb graft and corruption.
She said previous agencies set up to pursue programs to establish just and moral governance require better coordination to achieve optimal effect.
The campaign for a just and moral governance in Philippine society “requires an institutional response that is equipped with sufficient authority,” the President added. (JMR/Sunnex) |
