Filipino Youth
INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF BOARD MEMBER HARMES S. SEMBRANO
11 July 2013

A bright-blessed day to all!
Nearly three enduring decades of nothing but untainted, out and out public service made me the civil servant I am today. From a newcomer legislator of my hometown, then to a three-term local chief executive, to being here at this very chamber, I am deeply gratified to have stayed and committed for my beloved Tarlaqueños from the very beginning until now.
It is but apt and proper to primarily express my unending gratitude to God Almighty, whom I have sought for guidance and never failed to impart me with prudence and vim to do nothing but good for our people. Lord, with unending praise, I shall yield to your Holy Name and Will.
I am likewise, thankful to the integral constituency of the second district – from undivided voters to unwavering allies and friends who trusted me for the second time around to be part of this provincial council. To my loving family - God’s greatest gift to me, thank you for always being there.
These span of years of serving the people from the grassroots up to the district echelon honed me to be further adroit in the daunting tasks of local policy-making. Hence, renewing this tenure implies another productive chapter for this representation, which I anticipate to be steadily imbued with dynamism and throughput. This renewed opportunity will further ascertain what we have already endeavored and prospered for our province… for our people… for our Tarlac.
Being alongside with our kababayans – seeing, feeling, hearing and bearing with them, molded me to be more aware and proactive with the problems that afflicted their communities, which we can throw a light on at full tilt through appropriate legislative measures. These various hands-on involvements with communities taught me boundless points to improve my calling as a humble representation of our district. It is also a formidable admission on my part that through these experiences, I

    Civic duty never meant much to me until I involved myself in the Ro Khanna for Congress Campaign. It began with a 6 hour shift to run a booth and ended with a celebration two weeks ago for Ro’s success in winning the congressional election. I have made phone calls and knocked on people’s doors to talk about why they should vote for Ro. As my volunteer activity increased, I became my high school’s team leader for the election. My responsibilities included gathering more volunteers, contacting old ones, discussing with community members, and finding methods to increase voter turnout. As I spread awareness throughout Santa Clara about Ro, I realized how influential and beneficial he will be for those in our community. I wanted to see change and our current congressman wasn’t providing that.…

    I have the distinct opportunity to serve as a member of Georgia’s State House Representatives representing the 60th district of Georgia, which comprises Fulton County, Clayton County, the City of Atlanta, Forest Park, College Park, East Point and Hapeville. While I am proud to serve this great district many of the areas in my district are suffering for issues of high unemployment, record foreclosures, code enforcement violations and unfortunately a quality of life that residents are not pleased with. That is why I believe I was elected because the voters see my passion for working hard to protect their interest, improve the quality of life and be change maker. This is the same reason why I stand before you today because our society is calling on you to be the protectors of our communities, deliver innovative solutions to our country’s many problems and work to see a better life for every American.

    I was contesting from the infamous Constituency-1 of Cautley Bhawan, alongside Prashant, a junior in a department that composed one-third of my constituency, Aditya, an architecture student from my year, and Siddharth, a senior. The competition was stiff. Each contestant had his own agenda. So, from passionate canvassing to meticulous campaigning, from regionalism to departmental politics, from fending off back-stabs to forging awkward alliances, I did it all.…

    A lot was said about the detriments of political dynasties, this coming from Governor Grace Padaca, and how the youth should stand up and desire to change the status quo from Commissioner Gio Tingson and Congresswoman Risa Hontiveros. Through all the various statistics, inspiring stories, words of encouragement and not so subtle thrown jibes at Senator Tito Sotto, three points stood as an answer to the question: ‘What to look for in a leader?’…

    Plunkitt

    Plunkitt’s nepotistic beliefs, while controversial, proved to benefit his community. He had a strong belief in the spoils system and stood for “rewarding the men that won the victory” (12). He could not foresee the existence of a party system that did not place its own workers in offices (13). He candidly discussed the impossibilities of “[keeping] an organization together without patronage” (36). In response to an accusation of Tammany Hall’s patronage, Plunkitt expressed his belief that there is no one more in need, better fit, or more anxious to serve the city than Tammany workers (51). Although this outlook gave Plunkitt a controversial ‘quid pro quo’ attitude towards government affairs, his community benefitted from this arrangement. This arrangement allowed Plunkitt to provide jobs to his supporters who might have otherwise suffered…

    Singaporean Youths

    • 11031 Words
    • 45 Pages

    Young people generally form the future of any nation state and Singapore is no exception, it is, however, especially concerned about the future of itself as a nation. For Singapore the theme of youth is doubled, as the newness of the nation is a mirrored reflection of young Singaporeans and for the state. Young people embody the fragility of the nation itself, and government policy towards them has become a site where anxiety about the future of the nation is expressed. "Singaporean youths must have wings and yet know where their nest is" interrogates selected policies directed at young people in the city-state of Singapore against the backdrop of the youth of that nation-state itself. This examination includes: policies towards young offenders (and criminality generally), highlighting the anxiety the state feels about the non-conformity of young law-breakers and about the othering of criminals, about the role of National Service as a mechanism for masculinised nation building, and about the definition and discourse around post-independence generations, including the "brain drain" generation, the "Generation Millennium", and the "quitters and stayers", illustrating Singaporean tension between nationalism and political apathy. The resulting analysis questions the notion of youth as agents of change, troubles ideas of technology as a mechanism for liberalisation in Singapore, and challenges Western assumptions about the liberalising power of affluence and globalisation. Keywords: Singaporean youths, nation, anxiety, consumption, crime…
