The GREEN TEAM movement started September, 2009, when a group of young, passionate volunteers WITHOUT political pedigree/lineage, decided to come out to support the vision of Gilbert Teodoro. This MOVEMENT had NO FINANCES to begin with, and continues to OPERATE on a VOLUNTARY BASIS.
Our volunteers troop to our DIRECT CAMPAIGNS without MOBILIZATION FUNDS, and often, they end up using their OWN MONEY just to be able to join the activities of the GREEN TEAM. Without financial backing, this MOVEMENT has grown by leaps and bounces, with the HELP of the Social Networking Sites, like FACEBOOK. Our commitment to this endeavor does not stem from promises of getting KEY GOVERNMENT POSTS if ever Sec. G1BO Teodoro wins the Presidency.
This PURE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT has elevated the level of campaigning in this country, contrary to what OTHER CAMPS have reduced the Filipino Electorate to.
The MOST RECENT statement of Ms. Kris Aquino towards OUR GREEN TEAM volunteers DID NOT COME AS ANY SURPRISE. Knowing that the their campaign has been nothing but a CAMPAIGN OF HATE and ARROGANCE, it was expected considering the continuous GROWTH of our VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT and the gravity of SUPPORT that Sec. Teodoro has been getting, with the recent endorsements from different sectors of society. We WILL NOT RESORT to whatever BEHAVIOR their campaign has been perpetuating, but we SHALL defend our FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO DIGNITY and INTEGRITY AS HUMAN BEINGS.
These statements ONLY motivate us even MORE to work HARD for the NOBLE CAUSE of electing a PRESIDENT who has a POSITIVE MESSAGE, PLAN AND ATTITUDE in SEEKING REFORM in this country. To those who have MADE their CHOICES, we shall RESPECT your decisions and this campaign has INSTITUTIONALIZED that RESPECT for diverse choices. However, POSITIVTY must CONTINUOUSLY be the THEME of the CHANGE we WANT and DESIRE, because once it becomes BACKWARD LEANING ONCE AGAIN, our DEVELOPMENT as a PEOPLE, as a NATION shall NEVER be REALIZED.
Sa mga VOLUNTEERS na PATULOY na NAGPAPAGOD, NAGSASAKRIPISYO, malayo sa GINHAWA na kasama ang KANILANG MGA PAMILYA, MAHAL SA BUHAY, taos puso ang aming PASASALAMAT sa INYO. Kayo ang DAHILAN kung BAKIT POSIBLE ang MAGANDANG PAGBABAGO sa ating BANSA. Ipagpatuloy po NATIN ang MALINIS AT POSITIBONG KAMPANYA sa gitna ng mga IRESPONSABLENG PAHAYAG laban sa ating kampo. SULONG G1BO! SULONG PILIPINAS!
