| On the assumption that you heard/read the SONA of the President yesterday, July 28, 2008, identify at least 3 areas related to Human Resource Management and explain how these areas can improve our quality of life.
Three areas related to Human Resources and its explaination on how it can improve our quality of life:
1. EDUCATION
"In training, 7.74 million took technical and vocational courses over the last seven years, double the number in the previous 14 years. In 2007 alone, 1.7 million graduated. Among them are Jessica Barlomento now in Hanjin as supply officer, Shenve Catana, Marie Grace Comendador, and Marlyn Tusi, lady welders, congratulations.
Bukod sa libreng edukasyon sa elementarya at high school, na doble ang pondo para sa mga college scholarships, while private high school scholarship funds from the government have quadrupled."
 Education nowadays is the necessary factor for the survival and progress of each individual and even a country. It is nice to know that our government has a big interest and attention for the education of its people, inspite of the crisis we are facing right now we are still capable to have this education thru these technical and vocational courses and to be competitive globally. This opportunity helps a lot to those underprivileged to be educated and sooner to be useful to each one and to the country.
2. GSIS, HOUSING LOANS, HEALTH INSURANCE
"GSIS pensions have been indexed to inflation and have increased every year since 2001. Its salary loan availments have increased from two months equivalent to 10 months, the highest of any system public or private—while repayments have been stretched out.
Pag-Ibig housing loans increased from P3.82 billion in 2001 to P22.6 billion in 2007. This year it experienced an 84% increase in the first four months alone. Super heating na. Dapat dagdagan ng GSIS at buksan muli ng SSS ang pautang sa pabahay. I ask Congress to pass a bill allowing SSS to do housing loans beyond the present 10% limitation.
Bago ako naging Pangulo, isa't kalahating milyong maralita lamang ang may health insurance. Noong 2001, sabi natin, dadagdagan pa ng kalahating milyon. Sa taong iyon, mahigit isang milyon ang nabigyan natin. Ngayon, 65 milyong Pilipino na ang may health insurance, mahigit doble ng 2000, kasama ang labinlimang milyong maralita. Philhealth has paid P100 billion for hospitalization. The indigent beneficiaries largely come from West and Central Visayas, Central Luzon, and Ilocos. Patuloy nating palalawakin itong napaka-importanted programa, lalo na sa Tawi-Tawi, Zambo Norte, Maguindanao, Apayao, Dinagat, Lanao Sur, Northern Samar, Masbate, Abra and Misamis Occidental. Lalo na sa kanilang mga magsasaka at mangingisda."
In terms of human resources, employees benefits are part of it because its main concern are its people and its needs. For an individual to work hard and be progressive, good benefits should be offered to an employee as an exchange, to meet their needs. To achieve success, we should start prospering on the foundation of our plans and our actions to meet our goal. Our government should give focused and attention more to its human resources for the progress and productivity it offers in return.
3.POPULATION CONTROL
"Rice production since 2000 increased an average of 4.07% a year, twice the population growth rate. By promoting natural planning and female education, we have curbed population growth to 2.04% during our administration, down from the 2.36 in the 1990's, when artificial birth control was pushed. Our campaign spreads awareness of responsible parenthood regarding birth spacing. Long years of pushing contraceptives made it synonymous to family planning. Therefore informed choice should mean letting more couples, who are mostly Catholics, know about natural family planning."
We are all aware that we are facing economic crisis globally, and each one are affected of it. And we are trying to conquer it and finding solutions on the problems we are facing right now. One of the solution that can help to survive in this crisis is population growth control. Through this program, couples and each individual are becoming aware on the role of each one and the population growth of the country. It would lessen the use of natural resources and decrease poverty and the crime rate of the country. |
