Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Climate Change, made the statement at the Collaboration Workshop for the Pampanga River Basin held at the Oxford Hotel, Clarkfield, Pampanga, which was participated by various stakeholders from Central Luzon including local government units, non-government organizations, academe, youth, media, and the private sector.
Oxford Hotel, Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga; I rise on a matter of personal privilege to underscore my personal commitment as your Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to push for the ratification of the ILO Convention 189 otherwise known as Decent Work for Domestic Workers’ Convention.
The needs and circumstances today, however, have changed. Today’s security challenges require that we strengthen our defense posture through a regime of cooperation with allies with whom we share strategic security interests. Fostering strong defense relations with partners, through SOVFA, is a good defense strategy anchored on national interest, national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the right to self-determination.
SENATOR LOREN LEGARDA WILL LEAD THE REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IN CENTRAL LUZON ON THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 2012 AT THE OXFORD HOTEL, CLARK FREEPORT ZONE, PAMPANGA.
