President Gloria Arroyo's Message For Nakem


MALACAÑAN PALACE
Manila


M E S S A G E


Warmest greetings to the organizers and participants in the 2007 Nakem International Conference which will be held at the Mariano Marcos State University, Batac, Ilocos Norte.

Your theme, “Panagpanaw ken Panagindeg - Exile and Settling in Ilocano and Amianan History and Culture,” is truly commendable because this stresses the importance of preserving your unique cultural and linguistic heritage while training Ilocanos to be proficient and globally competitive. I truly believe that through this Conference, you can promote and safeguard your culture and language for the next generation of Ilocanos to appreciate and be proud of.

We are committed to bring the benefits of our social, economic and political reforms to the grassroots and I count on you to be reliable partners of government in this endeavor.

More power and may you have a successful conference. Mabuhay!
