Assisting Mr. Coronel in the project are CALD Program Officers, Paolo Zamora and Brian Gonzales, together with Narwin Espiritu, Web Developer of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation’s Manila Office.
Mr. Patrick Tan was contracted to do the multimedia design while radio talent May Zayco served as narrator. The presentation features recorded messages from CALD Secretary General Bi-Khim Hsiao, MP, of the Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan and the following former CALD chairmen: Mr. Sam Rainsy, MP, leader of the Cambodian opposition; former deputy foreign minister M.R. Sukhumbhand Paribatra, MP, of the Democrat Party of Thailand; and, former education secretary (minister) and parliamentarian Florencio Abad of the Liberal Party of the Philippines. Also featured is Dr. Sein Win, Prime Minister of the exiled National Council of the Government of the Union of Burma. The presentation tackles the organization’s history, objectives and visions, and programs and projects as well as its impact in the development of liberal democracy in the region. The 2005 edition is the second CALD multimedia presentation. CALD launched its first CALD multimedia presentation last December 2003 in Bangkok, Thailand on the occasion of the organization’s 10th foundation anniversary. This project is made with the support of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation and the cooperation of CALD member parties.
