Bakit tumatakbo si GLENN YMATA bilang Konsehal ng Unang Distrito ng Caloocan?   

 

Si Glenn ay nagsimulang manirahan sa Phase 3 Bagong Silang (Brgy. 176) Caloocan City noong 1984, kung kailan marami pang bakanteng lote, malawak ang mga talahiban at wala pang sariling kuntador ng kuryente ang karamihan.

 

Nagtapos ng elementarya sa Star Elementary School (ngayo’y Silanganan Elementary School) at nagpatuloy sa Ramon Magsaysay Cubao High School. Nakapagtapos sa kolehiyo sa University of the Philippines (UP Diliman) sa kursong Gawaing Pagpapaunlad ng Lipunan (BS Community Development), tinapos din ni Glenn ang Master’s Degree sa Public Administration (UP Diliman). Matagumpay niya ring nakumpleto ang academic requirements at naipasa ang comprehensive exam ng Doctoral Degree on Public Administration.

 

Ang kanyang kasanayan at dalubhasaan ay sa public policy, program development and management, business development, and campaign and advocacy. Hinubog Ito ng kanyang tatlong dekada karanasan sa non-government organizations (NGOs), local and national governments, international development institutions at maging sa private companies. Nagbigay daan din Ito upang lubos na maunawaan ni Glenn ang ugat ng mga samu’t saring isyu sa lipunan ng iba’t ibang sektor gaya ng magsasaka, mangingisda, maralitang lungsod, kabataan, kababaihan at manggagawa at kung paano ito dapat ito tinutugunan sa aspeto ng mga polisiya at patakaran, programa at proyekto at reporma sa sistema at institusyon.
