The Philippine initiative for the promotion of the Charter of Human Responsibilities started in January of 2004. The thrust of the first two years was to lay the groundwork for the Charter dissemination through production of information materials and avenues in partnership with NGOs and people’s organizations. The following years allowed to reinforce and expand the partnership activities and the Charter process through the Youth Festival 2006 which will have a follow-through in 2008, and through spearheading plenary and workshop sessions for the Asian Forum on Solidarity Economy which will be held in October 2007.
The Charter Facilitation Team is composed of Pinky Castelo-Cupino as coordinator, Prof. Aleli Bawagan, Merlyn Tabada-Martinez, Flora Asiddao-Santos, Maria Corazon Gratuito, Marilou Cerilla and Dr. Ruben Martinez.

One challenge refers to starting off the direct process of disseminating the Charter in the Philippines. Filipino NGOs are in general wary of anything that is foreign. We are always scrutinizing who is behind an initiative, why, what are their vested interests? This is specially because of our country’s dependent relationship with the US, which used to be a colonizer of the Philippines. We (...) |
