BALER,
Aurora-DZJO “Spirit” FM 101.7 mhz Admin Officer/Newscaster Rey Fernando, in his
capacity as the new president of the Central Luzon Media Association (CLMA)-Aurora
Chapter, called on his colleagues for a deeper spirituality based on the bible
and for unity prayer against corruption.
In
a cellphone interview, Fernando said that corruption in business and in
politics must be eradicated if not minimize, urging the CLMA members to be
united through prayer, discernment and concerted action to renew the social and
political fabric of the people in Aurora, media and the country.
“Many
of them and/or perhaps the majority of the corrupt people in politics and in
business are notorious to violence, lack of proper discernment and the likes,”
he explained.
In
his speech in a broad day light at Pedervera Beach Resort, following his
election as the new prexy of the CLMA, Fernando expressed his heartfelt thanks
to all of his colleagues who voted him.
“This
is really an overwhelming sign of trust and confidence,” he said, promising
that he will continue what the organization has started in the province and in
Central Luzon.
“I
will also work for the organization and with you in the year 2014 and want to
win your confidence too. I know the
great responsibility of the President. This makes me humble. I want to lead the
CLMA-Aurora Chapter according to my motto: Prayer and Unity in Diversity. It
would mean that I will do my very best efforts to balance all the different best
interests of the organization,” Fernando pointed-out.
“In
every activity that we would like to implement, I want to listen and to enter
into an on-going dialogue with all of you. You should know that my door, my
ears, and my heart are always open for you,” he said.
With
100% votes, Fernando will Chair the CLMA-Aurora Chapter next year after the
oath taking of the chapter officers of all media personalities from their
respective provinces in Central Luzon at Philrice in Nueva Ecija on January 10,
2014.
