PROPOSED WELCOME REMARKS FOR CAS
OFM ADVOCACY 27 JUNE 2019 AMENITIES…
TO THE JOINT MOBILE TEAM HEADED BY COL FRANCIS ANTHONY M
CORONEL GENERAL STAFF CORPS PHILIPPINE ARMY, PMA OFFICERS AND ENLISTED PERSONNEL, CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, A PLEASANT MORNING.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FINANCES OR MANAGING RESOURCES HAS BECOME
VERY STRATEGIC TODAY. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IS INDEED A VITAL ACTIVITY IN ANY ORGANIZATION. IT IS THE PROCESS OF PLANNING, ORGANIZING, CONTROLLING AND MONITORING FINANCIAL RESOURCES WITH A VIEW TO ACHIEVE ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. WE ARE GATHERED TODAY WITH THE SAME PURPOSE IN MIND.
I BELIEVE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THE ARMED
FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINES. WITHOUT IT, OUR PLANS AND PROGRAMS, NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEY ARE, COULD NOT BE CARRIED OUT AND SUSTAINED. THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ADVOCACY THAT WE ARE CONDUCTING TODAY IS IMPERATIVE TO THE ENTIRE ARMED FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINES AND THE PHILIPPINE MILITARY ACADEMY IN PARTICULAR. WITH THE VARIETY OF GLOBAL AND LOCAL CHALLENGES, THE AFP UNITS MUST DEVELOP A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE FUNCTIONS OR NITTY-GRITTY OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND BE ABLE TO INTEGRATE STRATEGIC, OPERATIONAL, AND TACTICAL SUPPORT IN ALL LEVELS OF OUR ORGANIZATION.
THE PROGRAMMED ACTIVITIES SUCH AS LECTURES ON DEFENSE RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, CASH-BASED BUDGETING, LECTURE ON PROGRAM EXPENDITURE CLASSIFICATION, UPDATES ON FISCAL CONTROL, AND UPDATES AND PROCUREMENT POLICIES, AMONG OTHERS, ARE ALL VITAL IN OUR EFFORTS TO INSTITUTIONALIZE A SYSTEM THAT UPHOLDS FISCAL DISCIPLINE, ALLOCATIVE EFFICIENCY, OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS, AS WELL AS TRANSPARENCY. THIS ADVOCACY IS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO GUARANTEE THAT WE GAIN THE MUCH NEEDED FOCUS, PROFICIENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AS FAR AS MANAGING OUR FINANCES OR RESOURCES IS CONCERNED. WITH ALL OF THESE, I AM CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL HAVE A FRUITFULL TWO (2)-DAY ENCOUNTER; AND FOR MAKING THIS EVENT POSSIBLE, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE JOINT MOBILE TEAM HEADED BY COL FRANCIS ANTHONY M CORONEL FROM THE OFFICE OF THE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, AFP. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PRESENCE AND FOR THE COMMITMENT YOU RENDER TO THE ACADEMY. WE VALUE YOUR PRESENCE AND AS YOU ENDEAVOR TO LISTEN TO SOME OF OUR CONCERNS RELATING TO FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, WE HOPE THAT YOU ALSO ENJOY THE COOL WEATHER OF BAGUIO. REST ASSURED, THE MEMBERS OF TEAM PMA WILL EXIBIT THE NEEDED COMMITMENT TO LEARN AS MUCH FROM YOUR TEAM.
WITH THESE, I WELCOME EACH ONE OF YOU TO THIS MEANINGFUL AND
VERY IMPORTANT ACTIVITY. THANK YOU AND A BLESSED DAY TO ALL.
