13 June 2017 TOKYO — Philippine Ambassador to Tokyo Jose C. Laurel V administers the oath of office of the founding officers of Kilusang Pagbabago Tokyo at the Siazon Hall of the Philippine Embassy in Tokyo on June 02. Established on December 28, 2016, Kilusang Pagbabago Tokyo encourages its members to participate and get involved in participatory governance under the administration of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. The association will serve as the watchdog of government programs against criminality, illegal drugs, and corruption.
Founding President George Q. Astilla said that Kilusang Pagbabago Tokyo has so far supported various projects by non-government organizations such as Batang Astig in Davao City, House of Hope, Duterte’s Kitchen in Quezon City, and Helping Hands for Filipino Kids in Japan.
Another flagship project of Kilusang Pagbabago Tokyo is its live radio program entitled “Bayan Ko”, a public service program for Filipinos in Japan. The program opens a venue for the Embassy to bring its services closer to the Filipinos. END
