Pidjanga of UN Country Team with GMA, JDV

If you have grabbed a copy of today's (October 11, 2007) issue of Manila Bulletin (or has visited its online version - www.mb.com.ph), you might have seen your fellow Pidjanga (The Pidjanga Blogger) in front page and standing as a member of the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in the Philippines having a Photo Op with President GMA and House Speaker JDV.



The UN presented to the government of the Philippines the Mid-Term Progress report on the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. It seems that we have high probability of achieving our goals in the area of poverty and hunger, child mortality, HIV and malaria, and environment by 2015. However, we need to scale up our responses to be able to address the problem of universal primary education, maternal health, and reproductive health.
