Senator Cynthia A. Villar congratulated all members of the prestigious Fraternal Order of Eagles (Philippine Eagles) for their humanitarian services to the Filipino people during the past several years.
“These acts of selflessness and unity have inspired so many of our countrymen to also do their part in the noble task of nation-building,” Villar said.
The senator was the Guest Speaker during the organization’s 43rd Founding Anniversary Celebration and 42nd National Assembly of the organization.
But unlike other similar cause-oriented socio-civic organizations, Villar stressed this organization is island borne, or authentically Pinoy.
“In a country like the Philippines where the poverty incidence has risen to 26 million or just below 25% of the population (23.7%PSA) as of January 2022, civic consciousness and participation in our
community affairs, respect for law and order under the democratic processes is important,” said Villar.
Saying that they are one with the group, Villar related that in 1995, their family put up the Villar Social Institute on Poverty Alleviation and Governance or VILLAR SIPAG to support projects to help our less fortunate countrymen break free from the clutches of poverty.
