IN HONOUR OF PNG

Hello fellow Patriots,

Thank you all for being a part of this new movement of change in the country. I hope that the recent journey with PPNG has kindled a flame for our country. Today I’d just like to mention one of PPNG’s core values. It’s our two-part pillar #3: RESPECT & HONOUR...particularly honour.

What does it mean to honour someone or something? Why does God ask children to “honour” their parents? What does it mean to be an honourable person? Why is Patriots PNG asking the citizens of PNG be honourable?

Simply put honour, for me, means two things: (1) I do that which brings PRIDE and JOY to the object of my honour (e.g. my parents, God); and (2) I avoid that which could bring SHAME and EMBARRASSMENT to the object of my honour.

So by asking ourselves as Papua New Guineans to honour our country we are asking ourselves to be and to do what we can to make our country proud. I don’t need to remind you of the swell of pride this nation felt when Ryan & Dika & the Kumuls did well in the international sport scene. Conversely you’d understand the shame and embarrassment we felt when something happened to tarnish the image of Papua New Guinea.

I’d like to kindly remind us that in everything we do as Papua New Guineans, we either make our country proud or we bring it into shame. All our actions or their fruits are watched and by them opinions are made of our PNG.... It’s so easy to say that some other ‘notable’ person is more prone to bring either honour or shame to PNG (by doing that you reduce your individual significance and worth..please don’t). But the truth is both you and I and every single Papua New Guinean shapes the outlook of PNG to the world. Remember PPNG mostly advocates about doing the little things...

Whenever you spit on our country, litter on her, cheat on n steal from her, or sell her cheaply etc., imagine her as a mother looking on you in embarrassment and shame....And when you’re that good responsible citizen loyally serving and defending her, imagine her beaming with pride coz you love her and care enough to GIVE HER THE BEST and to BE THE BEST you can be for her sake....

Heavenise Week

and God Bless Papua New Guinea.

[PS: ORIENTATION MEETING for members and interested person coming up end-of month or early next month in Port Moresby...please come along]

HEY HEY

Hello Patriots,

A great year this is looking to be for us. The Meet, Greet & Connect Sausage Sizzle was a successful event. Turned out much better than I personally imagined it would. For those who came that day a big thank you to all of you. Some of you probably did not come because you thought it was washed out. But in fact the sun was shining brightly on us at Ela Beach all day! We had people come find out more and many signed as members and volunteers. A good number of children signed up as members so we are looking forward to instilling patriotism and positive values in these our young next generation of leaders.

I must say much of the appreciation for the success of the day goes to one of our members Miku Singin-Agarobe and Helifix Co. Ltd. Helifix, on Miku’s and their CEO’s own accord offered to provide support for PPNG on the day which was a major boost for us leaders and executives who have been digging deep for the PPNG events. They also made it possible for us to go live on FM 100 last Friday which was a major boost for the event. Helifix is totally PNG owned and goes by the motto “DOING OUR BIT IN NATION BUILDING” which explains greatly why they have come aboard and are standing beside PPNG. So on behalf of Patriots PNG I would like to say a big thank you to Miku and the CEO, Mr. Robert Agarobe, and staff of Helifix for the not only support for PPNG but also for the dedication to seeing change in Papua New Guinea.

PPNG also thanks many people who helped with the event. There was provision and support from friends and families who have caught the vision and believe this is the way forward for PNG. I could list them down but I fear missing some (and boring the readers!) so...One behalf of PPNG (which is you anyway!) a massive TENKYU STRET to you taking ownership of this movement. My hope is that you will take ownership of PPNG that when you refer to it you can say “we” and “us” stead of “they” and “them”.

The PPNG group page news has been updated so you may go there and find out how things went and updates on our incorporation and etc.

Thank you and God Bless...

Heavenise Week!
