Breaking my silence on WPS PEACE BY PEACE BY Secretary Carlito G. Galvez, Jr.
I have not said much about the subject of WPS. There were a few occasions when the circumstances called for it, but I otherwise kept it out of the discussions. Our strategies and action plans have been attracting a lot of international attention lately. We received several dignitaries from Europe, Asia, and the Americas in the first half of the year who showed great interest in our activities – all of them signified their unequivocal support to WPS activities. They figured that the Philippines has the momentum in pursuing its WPS objectives.
