SEVERAL private associations, including the Construction Project Management Association of the Philippines (CPMAP), have expressed their full support for the zero-tolerance policy for corruption of Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD).
CPMAP President Eduardo Hitosis cited Aliling’s strong stance against corruption amid the controversies surrounding government flood-control projects.
“Your head-on and straightforward stand against this social cancer is an inspiration to us — a reminder that there is still hope for our nation, and there are still clean and committed public servants,” the CPMAP added., This news data comes from:http://771bg.com
In separate statements, the Subdivision and Housing Developers Association (SHDA) and the DHSUD Employees Association (DHSUDEA) threw their full support behind the housing czar's zero-tolerance policy for corruption.
"Integrity, transparency and accountability are values that must guide every stakeholder as we work together with the government to address the country's housing needs," the SHDA said.
DHSUDEA, headed by Roel Fernandez, joined the growing list of organizations backing the housing chief's strong stand against corruption.
"Corruption has no place in our mission of building communities and providing every Filipino with access to safe, adequate and affordable housing.... With great hope, it is through our collective vigilance and shared culture of honesty that we can build the housing sector every Filipino deserves," the group added.
