Gawad Kalinga Pride of the Nation

I remember the first time if I recall it  correctly, that Aly Medalla then, would rather not enter politics for personal belief and conviction. Most politicians (sorry to say this ) but this are the impression of great majority of the people  around the world including myself, that most politicians are corrupt and worst naive and calloused to the needs of the people.

But after so much consultations and personal reflection, she believes that entering into politics would bring and initiate changes the way it perceived by the people.

True to her words, Councilor Aly Medalla, give up the Chairmanship of Committee  on Games and Amusement and exchange it for the Committee Chairmanship of Committee on Education, Science and Technology where she believes she can contribute best.

Another excellent virtue of Councilor Aly Medalla is her keen eyes for another important works and contributions. Today, I will feature, one of her measures, recognizing the notable deeds of Gawad Kalinga Community Development Foundation.
