On September 7-8, 2010, this blogger has the opportunity to sit-in in the moral recovery seminar at PhilRice, Maligaya, Munoz, Nueva Ecija, together with the 6th batch of RSO (Rice-Sufficiency Officers) trainees. The program is still quite relevant in the light of the persistent issue of graft and corruption in the government.

The seminar was conducted by FOCIG (Fellowship of Christians in Government, Inc.) with Bro. Sito R. Silva as the main resource person. Like other Moral Recovery seminars of the government, the training module of FOCIG is aimed at upgrading the attitudes (affective domain) of the participants as it relates to the effective and efficient discharge of one’s duty as public servant.

In this module, the proponents looked into the team-building capacity and professionalism of the participants as important elements in increasing work efficiency. It cited relevant verses from the Word of God to be applied at workplaces. It emphasized 2 mother virtues like Integrity and Excellence among the government workers. Finally, it cited the life and passion of the Lord Jesus Christ as the perfect model of service to mankind.
