Let`s Have Fun Sadi IRIGA!

Kaya Natin! Champions are hailed as embodiments of effective, ethical, and empowering leadership. KN hopes to identify more of these leaders and build a network of strong leaders with an empowered citizenry. Besides their individual achievements and experiences, the Kaya Natin! Champions strongly oppose all illegal activities and have vowed to support to each other on these issues. They also campaign for a government that is truly by the people, a system that will hold the local officials accountable for their actions and decisions and which will empower the constituency. They want leaders who are both effective in delivering basic services to the poor and ethical in their decisions and implementing the programs. For Kaya Natin!, it is not enough that our leaders are only efficient; Filipinos deserve to have someone who will use limited resources wisely without getting anything for himself. Ethics in government is just as important as effectiveness.

Ryan Turallo, an Iriga City missionary who died when a boat sank off the Solomon Islands on July 28, never fulfilled his wish to surprise his mother with a gift—a refrigerator. His brother, Lunar, 34, said Ryan, 30, had revealed his plan to spring the surprise when they last talked by phone a day before his death. Ryan, a teacher, left in November 2010 to become a volunteer missionary on the Solomon Islands, an archipelago in southwest Pacific Ocean, some 1,200 miles northeast of Australia. He served as student affairs coordinator of St. John Bosco Senior Technical School in Nila on the Shortland Islands. http://globalnation.inquirer.net/46627/from-afar-family-grieves-for-iriga-city-missionary
