  3. 30 Years in Public Service Before the Second World War, he served as aide to the Davao city mayor, then as justice of the peace covering the Sulu towns of Parang, Maimbung, Pata, Tapul and Siasi. After World War II, he served as secretary to the mayor of Zamboanga City. Then he ran for the city council, was elected and served as councilor for four years. He won as city mayor of Zamboanga City.

  4. In 1962 and 1963, he served as customs commissioner and administrator, and presidential assistant on community development, respectively. He was again elected Zamboanga city mayor from 1980 and 1984. He spent a total of 30 years in public service.

  5. Advocacy. Action. Availability. Climaco was known for his hands- on leadership, exceptionally sharp wit, and for taking a stand against injustice. Climaco was always there where the action was: a fire, a shooting, a bombing or a grenade throwing. He was accessible to his constituents and he mediated disputes between warring groups, often at great risk to his own life.

  6. Climaco openly denounced the imposition of martial law in 1972, saying it robbed Filipinos of their basic rights and liberties. He made a memorable vow that he would leave his hair uncut until Martial Law was lifted. When Marcos announced the lifting of martial law in 1981, he dismissed it as a “sham” and kept his hair uncut.

  7. Courage. Rage. And More Courage. Climaco’s colorful life was cut short on 14 November 1984, when he was shot down as he was leaving from an inspection of a burned-down dancehall. A bullet from a.45 caliber pistol hit him in the nape. eyewitnesses.

  10. Some Current Usage of “Integrity” ‘integrity of the data base program’= protected from the corrosive effects of pernicious viruses ‘integrity of infrastructure’=the strength of material and construction cannot be shaken by earthquakes and other pressures, ‘territorial integrity’=the boundaries of a particular state is kept whole and under control ‘integrity of creation’= harmony in the whole created world of plants, animals, inanimate objects, human beings and other spirits

  11. Integrity is more than fighting corruption, more than honesty 1. Discernment: Finding out what is true. “Hanapin at harapin ang totoo.” 2. Commitment: Doing what is right. “Gawin ng tama.” 3. Pronouncement: Saying what is real. “Magsabi nang tapat.”

  12. Integrity by Staying in Public Post Why stay in your public post when you see corruption going on? • Your motivation is to reform from the inside. Oath of office is a promise to be fulfilled. • You believe you are effective in a particular role or office. Note: Check the truth of the two assumptions. Beware of self-deception.

  13. Integrity by Resigning Why leave the office? In some cases, the way of integrity is to resign from your position. • Personal commitment and stamina. • Obligations of particular office have changed. • One is no longer effective or listened to. Note: It is good to keep resigning as an option. One must not always resort to excuses, such as “following orders” or “wala akong magagawa.”

  14. Integrity by Whistleblowingand Truth-Telling Why should a person risk job and life to expose anomalies? 1. Right motivation: justice and the common good, not personal vendetta 2. Explored regular forums for airing complaints. 3. Technical and spiritual preparation. Note: Please see “Aha! Citizens Primer on Whistleblowing”

  27. How do I improve my self? When was the last time I read a whole book? What new skills have I learned the past year? What new ideas am I developing? What do I do to help me make good analysis?

  28. How do I feel about my body? My health? What is my form of relaxation? How is my body related to my job as public servant?

  39. Spirituality as Joy of Public Service SPIRITUALITY is not standard piety or prayer. It has something to do with the spirit, with what gives you life, and what gives meaning to your life. It is the fountain of values, of one’s principles, of one’s relationship with something --- or Someone --- that goes beyond the narrowness of self-interest. The opposite of spirituality is not materialism, but lifelessness, fear of the truth, lack of energy to pursue what is just; a wasted life.

  40. SPIRITUALITY is usually accompanied by inner joy and freedom that comes from living in the light of truth, not in cowardice; in the capacity to sacrifice, not in insistence of selfishness. When applied to integrity in public service, it draws out the noble in the human person. Those who have experienced this kind of love would recognize that this is at the heart of being human --- dangal ngpagpapakatao at pakikipagkapwa-tao. We know its opposite: walangdangal, walangkapwa-tao; WALANG KABUHAY-BUHAY! Spirituality Spirituality as Joy of Public Service

  41. TAGAGISING Pag araw ay nasilip Titindig yaring manok Dadagukan ang dibdib Saka lang titilaok! Aba at may umasabay Dumadagok, sumisigaw! Hindi lahat pala’y himbing Kay rami nang ngayo’y gising!
