The relevance of the Charter in the Philippino context

Exercising responsible behavior is not new to some members of society. But actively campaigning for sections of the population to consciously assume responsible behavior through a Charter of Human Responsibilities is a very enriching experience, even to practitioners of responsible behavior. The exercise provides a venue for them to reflect on their own practices, be aware that the campaign is world-wide and frame their behavior, activities, projects and programs in the context of the Charter.

The activities of the facilitation group is now having domino effect. For example, a member of OTRADEV, Malou Alcid, who is from the academe showed the Mangyan video to her class in Social Work and facilitated to put a copy of the Charter in the library. OTRADEV is one of the organizations involved in disseminating the Charter. Another OTRADEV member, Jun Manalo, also from the academe, saw the Charter in the library, and is now planning to have this discussed in his class in Community Development. Both Malou Alcid and Jun Manalo are faculty members of the University of the Philippines.

2005 was only the second year for the promotion of the Charter, and the interest of the participants from different sectors of society - indigenous peoples, academe, youth, academe, development workers, urban poor, and local government unit are very encouraging and challenging for 2006.
