Secretary's Corner
HON.
HERMOGENES EDEJER EBDANE, JR.
Message:
MARAMING
SALAMAT SA MAINIT NINYONG PAGTANGGAP SA AKING PAGBABALIK.
I
CONGRATULATE EVERYONE IN THE DEPARTMENT FOR SUSTAINING OUR
MOMENTUM, IN THE FIVE MONTHS THAT I WAS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF
NATIONAL DEFENSE. MY
STINT THERE, WHILE SHORT AND SWEET, HELPED ME APPRECIATE HOW MUCH
MORE WORK WE MUST DO ON THE GROUND.
IT
IS MY HONOR TO BE BACK HERE WITH YOU AGAIN TODAY.
IT SEEMS THE REASON I AM BACK HERE IS BECAUSE OF YOU.
DUE TO INSISTENT POPULAR DEMAND, BINALIK SI EBDANE SA
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND HIGHWAYS.
I
HOPE THE DEMAND IS TRULY POPULAR AND THAT YOU ARE READY TO DO MORE
WORK AS WE BRING OUR PROGRAM OF DRIVING DEVELOPMENT THROUGH
PROGRESSIVE PUBLIC WORKS TO AS MANY AREAS AS POSSIBLE IN THE TIME
THAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN.
ALLOW
ME TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO OUR PRESIDENT, HER EXCELLENCY GLORIA
MACAPAGAL ARROYO, FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE OF SERVICE, AND TO
WORK WITH ALL OF YOU. I
AM VERY MUCH ENERGIZED BY THE TASK AHEAD.
THE
CHALLENGE WE MUST CONQUER IS DEFINED BY THE PRIORITY FOCUS OF OUR
PRESIDENT, HER EXCELLENCY GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO, WHOSE VISION OF
STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT REQUIRES THAT THE DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC WORKS AND HIGHWAYS TAKE THE LEAD IN BUILDING AND
EXPANDING THE NETWORK OF ROADS AND BRIDGES.
GIVEN
THIS VISION, IT IS NOW OUR JOB TO MAKE THE DREAM A REALITY. WITH
OUR NATIONWIDE DEPLOYMENT AND THE SUBSTANTIAL MANPOWER AND
EXPERIENCE, THIS VISION WILL BE A VIABLE LIVING REALITY.
IF
WE APPLY THE TRADEMARK TENACITY OF THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND HIGHWAYS, I KNOW WE WILL GET THE
JOB DONE.
WE
WILL FOCUS ON DRIVING DEVELOPMENT THROUGH PROGRESSIVE PUBLIC
WORKS, ALIGNING ALL OUR EXISTING PROJECTS TOWARDS THIS THRUST AND
ORIENTING THOSE IN THE PIPELINE TOWARDS THIS END.
PART
OF THE STRATEGY IS TO LINK UP WITH ALLIED GOVERNMENT UNITS IN
BRINGING DEVELOPMENT TO THE BARANGAYS.
OUR EXPERTISE AS BUILDERS AND ENGINEERS WILL BE THE SPARK
THAT WILL DRIVE DEVELOPMENT.
THEN
AS NOW, I WILL ASK THREE THINGS OF YOU: WORK FORWARD, WORK ON THE
GROUND AND WORK AS ONE.
WORK
FORWARD IS MY WAY OF SAYING PLAN YOUR WORK AND ANTICIPATE POSSIBLE
PROBLEMS AND CORRESPONDING SOLUTIONS. AS PROFESSIONALS, WE MUST
ALWAYS OPTIMIZE THE RESOURCES WE HAVE, TO BRING THE RESULTS WE
TARGET.
WORK
ON THE GROUND, NOT IN THE COMFORT OF THE OFFICE.
THE ANSWERS TO MOST PROBLEMS WILL BE FOUND IN THE AREA, IN
THE JOB SITE, AND NEVER BY SHUFFLING PAPERS.
WORK
AS ONE SO THAT THE SYNERGY OF EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE OF THE DPWH
FAMILY IS MAXIMIZED FOR RESULTS.
PARTICULAR TO OUR RESPONSIBILITY, TEAMWORK AND UNITY OF
THOUGHT AND ACTION ARE CRITICAL TO ACCOMPLISHING OUR GOALS.
THE
OPERATIVE WORD IS WORK. YOU
ALREADY KNOW HOW I WORK, AND I PROMISE YOU, WE WILL BE WORKING
EVEN HARDER, THIS TIME AROUND.
THE
QUESTION IS: HANDA NA BA KAYO?
MARAMING
SALAMAT AT MABUHAY TAYONG LAHAT!

Signboard Structures
