Areas Related to HRM on the 9th SONA of the President

During the 9th SONA of the President at the Batasang Pambansa, there are lots of achievements she shared. She discussed some achievements in banking and finance, education, and a lot more and one of the achievements she shared related in the Human Resource Management are; for small entrepreneurs they should be well funded, teacher's training to provide more quality education to their students and lastly, effective protections for our OFWs.

To discuss these three areas related to Human Resource Management further, let's go back what Human Resource Management is. According to our brother online dictionary, Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization's most valued assets - the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business. The terms "human resource management" and "human resources" (HR) have largely replaced the term "personnel management" as a description of the processes involved in managing people in organizations. In simple sense, HRM means employing people, developing their resources, utilizing, maintaining and compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational requirement.

For the last works done by our dynamic President, she made some efforts in order those employees both in private and government sectors will work in motivation. That is why, many of our organizations, corporations and companies here in the Philippines doesn't experience recession well.

These were the three areas related to HRM in which the President shared. To wit:

1. Nakinabang ang pitong milyong entrepreneurs sa P165 billion in microfinance loans. Nakinabang ang sandaan libo sa emergency employment ng ating economic resiliency plan. Kasama natin ngayon ang isa sa kanila, si Gigi Gabiola. Dating household service worker sa Dubai, ngayon siya ay nagtatrabaho sa DOLE. Good luck, Gigi.

Here, loaning is one of the easiest way in which our small entrepreneurs can sustain to their businesses. They have to borrow some money from the lender whether how much is it. That is why, the Arroyo administration imposed this kind of loaning system which is called microfinance loan. Microfinance refers to the provision of financial services to low-income clients, including consumers and the self-employed. This Microfinancing loans are small loans granted to the basic sectors, on the basis of the borrower’s cash flow and other loans granted to the poor and low-income households for their microenterprises and small businesses to enable them to raise their income levels and improve their living standards. These loans are typically unsecured but may also be secured in some cases. That is why, this microfinance loan is such a great help to our so-called mamamayan. For them, this is not a burden but as long as they can sustain their businesses in their own, it is better not to borrow in order for them not to sink in the quicksand of debts.

2. Pardon my partiality for the teaching profession. I was a teacher. Kaya namuhunan tayo ng malaki sa education at skills training. Ang magandang edukasyon ay susi sa mas magandang buhay, the great equalizer that allows every young Filipino a chance to realize their dreams. Nagtayo tayo ng 95,000 na silid-aralan, nagdagdag ng 60,000 na guro, naglaan ng P1.5 billion para sa teacher training, especially for 100,000 English teachers.

In this second issue, education is important to everyone especially to the young minds. Education is central to development and a key to attaining the millennium development goals of our government and our society. It is one of the most powerful instruments for reducing poverty and inequality and lays a foundation for sustained economic growth. That is why, most developed countries invest more in their education system and produce more competitive which our country envy. When Pres. Gloria Arroyo first stepped in the MalacaƱang Palace as our second woman president, she planned and studied well about the poor education system of our country. After for a long time, Madam President has a solution in which students can benefit but the teachers also. This solution in which our president made, is such a great help in order that the teachers and instructors of different schools in our country will be more competitive. It is good to know that the government invest funds worth of billion pesos for the training for our teachers. This training will help and motivate our teachers especially those English teachers to work hard so that they can serve well our country and so that they will know what are the new trends in teaching in using new technologies nowadays. And because of that, good to hear that and well done Madam President!

3. Sa hirap at ginhawa, pinapatatag ang ating bansa ng ating Overseas Filipinos. Iyong padala nilang $16 billion noong isang taon ay record. Itong taon, mas mataas pa.

I know that this is not a sacrifice joyfully borne. This is work where it can be found -- in faraway places, among strangers with different cultures. It is lonely work, it is hard work.

Kaya nagsisikap tayong lumikha dito sa atin ng mga trabahong maganda ang sahod, so that overseas work will just be a career choice, not the only option for a hard-working Filipino.

Meanwhile, we should make their sacrifices worthwhile. Dapat gumawa tayo ng mas epektibong proteksyon at pagpapalawak ng halaga ng kanilang pinagsikapang sweldo. That means stronger consumer protection for OFWs investing in property and products back home. Para sa kanila, pinapakilos natin ang Investors Protection Task Force.

In this last area related to HRM, the President focused it to the OFWs or Overseas Filipino Workers. According to them, OFWs are the modernized heroes of our country. The money in which the OFWs remittedevery year is such a great help so that we can earn billion of pesos. Because of the blood and sweat offered by the OFWs to work outside the country, most of us admired them. That is why, the government established a task force in which it is beneficial to the OFWs so that they will be overseen by the government whether they were paid well by their employers or not. Good to hear also that the government implemented well to have jobs inside the country with a nice wages so that working outside the country is a choice now and because of that, no more BRAIN DRAIN anymore.

Now, because of these few achievements done by our President , we may not call her tamad na Presidente but instead a WORKING PRESIDENT. These achievements done by her is a proof that our country Philippines is a developing country and soon to be a Tiger Economy .
