One Tama is an invitation to a movement and a challenge for us to do something right for our communities and our country, the Philippines.
One Tama is about doing a positive task, having the most number of people participate, and aiming for the biggest impact possible. You may invite your siblings, friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors to get involved in actions as simple as throwing the trash, crossing the road at the right time, planting seeds, cleaning the seashore, or anything creative you can think of.
The possibilities of doing the right thing are simple, diverse, and endless. If done together, and with more onboard your task --- the impact is multiplied. A great experience like this must be shared to inspire the rest in leaning towards positive change.
One Tama breaks the mold of the proverbial Juan Tamad, lying on the grass while waiting for the fruit to fall from the tree, by finally getting him on his feet. We no longer need to wait for good things to happen in our country. We can begin today by inspiring one another for positive action.
The road opens at our feet.
It began with a question: If we want a better country, what can we do about it for one day?
Duyan ng Giting (Cradle of Valor) is an organization composed of young people inspired by the words of National Hero Jose Rizal:
“Ang Kabataan ay pag-asa ng bayan (The youth are the hope of the country).”
These words by Rizal are to empower the Filipino youth whom he feels are ready to serve. He believes that the youth have the unique and creative potential to make a difference in their homes, offices, communities, and country.
Duyan ng Giting envisions an inspired and impassioned Filipino youth working together for love of a better country. It aims to empower the youth by developing values through service and providing a venue to share stories that will continue to inspire them.
