Call to Arms Speech by Leader Dr. Charmie D. Arribe

TO LOVE A CHILD

(A speech on my advocacy for the Breastfeeding Month of August 2015)

By: CHARMIE D. ARRIBE, MD DPPS

(Breastfeeding advocate)

August is the breastfeeding month and it is very timely that Prof Jorge asked us to deliver a speech on our advocacy.  I am excited to share my speech to all of you.  I hope to deliver it well on class.

Parents want what is best for their children.  And if I will be able to convince you that breastmilk is the best for your child, then will you convince all mothers to breastfeed their newborns? And if its best for our children, why is there a need to convince all of you to help me in this advocacy?

Pediatricians like me should be at the forefront in supporting, protecting and promoting breastfeeding. Why breastfeed and why support this cause?  Breastmilk is the food that nature designed for younglings, breastmilk is "specie specific" so as a dog nurses her puppies and a cat feeds her kittens with their own breastmilk, why can't humans give their own babies human milk? 

Call to Arms Speech by Leader Corazon Guevarra

Dear Prof. Saguinsin,

Below is the speech that I would like to deliver if given the chance to speak before  an audience  as an active leader of an advocacy group for the preservation of our environment that primarily helps in addressing the garbage and wastes disposal problem in the country.

I  have always been  an environmentalist in my own little way. And although presently, I am still constrained by my limitations, I am looking forward to being actively involved in educating the people about the gravity  of the problem  and the urgency to address it  extensively.

Thank you and more power Prof. God bless.

Best Regards,

Leader  Ma. Corazon. Q. Guevarra

My fellow Filipinos, the worsening garbage problem in the world especially in our country has compelled me to come to you today. Everyday, millions of tons of garbage are thrown out all over the world.  In the Philippines,  a  single resident produces  700 grams of waste per day.

Yes, we all agree that this is primarily a government predicament. But let me remind you that we are the cause of this problem and because of this, should all be aware that we play a big role in solving this problem.

Everyone has an obligation to make our country a better place to live in for our children and children's children and for the future generation. God has made us stewards of his creation and part of the duty of being stewards is to take care of our environment. Let us not then put all the burden to our government.

 Many of us are saying that the government is sometimes remiss in its obligations but we,  as responsible citizens should not dwell on this issue instead partake in the responsibility because with so many problems that our country is currently facing, the government  can only do so much.

JFK's best speeches. Listen how they resonate with you. Note the passion in the speech and call to action
I am repeating here that as a leader, your biggest resource is your ability to communicate - one on one  and to a group of people. Thus the ability to prepare a speech, or deliver a speech, even extemporaneously would be an advantage.   Many leaders are known to be loquacious and possess the gift of gab, even at times pompous.

Great Leaders were known to be great public speakers:  Hitler, Churchill, Douglas MacArthur, Ferdinand Marcos, John F. Kennedy, especially Barack Obama.  If you do not know how to use your tongue, the power of words, you cant hope to be a leader.  "It is only words, and words is all I got, to take your heart away - Bee Gees

Such was my weakness when I was starting my career as a business manager.  My first task when I became AM at a rural bank was to deliver a speech before school children and teachers for Tipid Movement. (The rural bank was the Tipid Movement - a project of then CBP to encourage thrift early among students).  All that I was able to mutter before a crowd of about 1,000 was "Halina't magtipid sa tipid movement!"  What a shame and embarrassment.
