It should begin to lead our education. I emphasize diffusion to all class of society, because of its potential to alienate those who have no access to training or facilities and exclude from the global village all those who lack the relevant skills. We, as lawmakers are willing to enable this diffusion by enacting appropriate legislation to bring about this. Mr. Chairman, Distinguished Conferees, permit me to make a final point. We need a new thinking.
Information has a potential to pull down barriers in governance.
It breaks down attitude, and reduces complexities in the governance process. It seems to me that that is what we need to reinvent our society. When our people are able to connect to the global village and the knowledge gap is bridged, we will have new impetus for growth. May I once again thank the National Manpower Board, under the ever upfront, for refusing to beat the old path. My prayer is that what the board is trying to do will bring a new mindset in all the boardrooms and all levels and arms of government.
