Nicanor Perlas' Six Pillars Platform :)

My platform has Six Pillars. The first deals with eradicating the massive poverty, inequitable growth, lawlessness, and conflicts that plague our country. Our first pillar aims to Eradicate Poverty and Enhance Quality of Life for all, through, among others, a vibrant broad-based economy, social justice and peace.

The second addresses the pervasive corruption that is tearing the social fabric of the nation and rupturing the hearts and minds of Filipinos. Our second pillar therefore seeks to Advance Moral and Effective Governance in all institutions of society and all situations in life.



The third concerns itself with stopping the massive destruction of our ecology and our environment. Our third pillar seeks to Uphold the Integrity of Creation and respectfully partner with it as our source of life.



Our fourth pillar seeks to Build Partnerships for Social Justice. We want to introduce a new approach to real participatory governance and authentic democracy. No one can solve the problems of the country alone… tayong lahat ang kailangan upang mabago ang ating bansa. This means government working together with civil society and business in the pursuit of social justice and creating a better country.



The fifth pillar strives to Promote Creative Education and Inner Change. Better schools, colleges and universities, drawing out the many talents, intelligences, and potentials of students, are crucial. Equally as important is self-directed education and transformation. At the end of the day, it’s important to also address the factor of inner change—taking responsibility for changing our hearts and minds. No one can do our inner work for us. And there can be no genuine change in a system or institution if the people who work there do not change. Depressed, apathetic, and poorly trained people cannot create visionary and high-performance organizations, much less a world-inspiring country. Individual and cultural transformation are the foundations of the other pillars.



And then finally, the Sixth Psixillar of the platform aims to Mainstream Visionary Initiatives. There are thousands of promising initiatives throughout the country in a wide variety of fields that already point the way forward to another, much better Philippines. We will reward innovation. We will systematically discover, magnify and multiply these existing success stories.



This platform with its Six Pillars recognizes that everything is interconnected and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Ang lahat ng bagay ay magkaugnay. Reducing poverty, for example, is not simply about appropriate government policies that strengthen the economy, creates jobs and minimizes the adverse aspects of globalization. Poverty reduction also requires significant advances in peace, culture, including education, health care, sanitation, clean water, housing, micro-finance, nutrition and of course, agriculture and asset reform among others.



We are talking about a practical platform of sustainability that recognizes all of these connections. We cannot transform the system if the system is plagued with corruption. But you cannot get rid of corruption if you don’t involve the citizenry in changing behavior. And you cannot change if there’s no inner change. Everything is interrelated and systemic.

real.

but then, my fault again.

this post would be a bit vague.

not holding on to anything.

even have a grudge against you.

well, yeah, but then.

do hope you at least became freakin honest to me.

sinong user?

sinong nag-rebound?

people just can't let go,i guess.

people just can't be sensitive about other else's feelings.

oh well, yeah, my fault.

stupid me. nagpaloko.

i guess people from that province really do nothing good to their "kapwa".

hope good karma returns to you.

BAD VIBES.

two exams in one day.
kmusta naman un di ba?

had a great time answering my exam in food science and nutrition class, kaso, nabobo naman ako sa pagsasagot sa biology exam ko.
damn it, super duper nosebleed ung mga terms na ginamit ng prof, paano ko naman masasagutan un??
hindi pa ako nakapag aral nang mabuti dahil nag-tulog ako sa CAL lib, 3am na kasi ako nakatulog kaka-aral para sa FN exam.

3 lang subject ko ngayong sem..
bonggang bongga..
napakasipag ko talaga, lulubusin ko pa ang ieextend kong isang taon sa UP.
oh well, at least may nagawa akong productive sa pagstay ko sa UP.
contributions sa org.
sa college student council.
sa tatsulok (inter-university alliance of filipino psychology students).
nakapag-present pa ako ng research paper sa psychology students conference.
at least may nagawa akong kapaki-pakinabang. :)

kaso, marso na.
karamihan sa batchmates ko, graduating na.
ako, eto, may isang taon pa.
nagsisisi nga ba ako?
o matutuwa na maski nag-extend ako ay may panahon pa ako para pagisipan ang mga bagay na gusto kong gawin?
hmmmm. think positive na lang.
for the good naman kung bakit eh.
hindi dahil bagsak bagsak na ako.
kundi dahil may mas gusto lang talaga akong gawin.
at un ay ang pagtuunan ng pansin ang orgs ko. :)

anyway, i do hope march is a better month for me.
sana wala nang masyadong maging aberya since patapos na ang sem.
basta, think ahead and focus na lang ako..
UP LAW, dadating din ako diyan :)

stress ito.

oo, pangarap kong mag-law.
at ikamamatay ko yata kapag hindi ako sa up law nag-aral.
puchangalapong, hindi pumasa ung mga taong inaasahan kong papasa.
bakit ganun?
eh mas matatalino pa sa akin ung mga un?
paano na kapag ako ung kukuha ng LAE?
paano na ako??

tamad ako.
hindi maganda ang GWA.
nag-extend pa ng isang taon.
paano ako papasa ng up law??
naknampucha. kinakabahan ako.

nagreview center pa ung iba, sobrang tutok na tutok sa pag-aaral.
eh ako?
paano ako?
wala akong pera pang review center.
hindi ako masipag mag-aral.
paano ako papasa ng up law??

oh Lord, Diyos ko po.
magpapakatino na ako.
ipasa niyo lamang ako sa up law.
wala nang ibang eskwelahan para sa akin.
up lang.
ayokong mapatungan ng transcript ng ibang school ang transcript ko.
oo, panay 5 un.
pero Diyos ko, Lord, ipasa na po ninyo ako.

haii, sana, noon ko pa pinagbutihan ang pag aaral ko.
para hindi ako nagsisisi ngaun :(

I WANT UP LAW!
all i want is UP LAW!! :'(

ang masasabi ko ay..

hindi ko kasalanan kung tanga ang sumulat nun, at hindi naisama ang pangalan ko.

siguro nga, swerte, dahil hindi ako nakasama sa kahihiyan.

kasi, totoo naman eh, kasalanan niya, kasalanan niya ang lahat.

gumawa siya ng bagay na hindi inilalapit sa mga taong concerned.

sinira niya eh.

sinira niya lang talaga.

:-/

and yes, i freakin' miss you!

new year na, kaso, walang kabog pa din ang pagkamiss ko sa mga taong ito.

1. it's been almost 2 years since huli tayong nagkita. may katagalan na din mula nung huli tayong mag-usap, magkakwentuhan. namimiss na kita, seriously, namimiss na kita. paano ba namang hindi? puyatan mode tayo sa sun dati, halos palagi pa. maski may exam ako ng 7am, umabot tayo ng kwentuhan ng 4am. maski mga koreanovelang pinapanood mo, kinukwento mo. napag-uusapan natin ang simpleng mga bagay. kulitan. kwentuhan. kantahan. yan ang madalas na ginagawa natin kapag magkausap tayo sa cellphone. medyo matagal na nga since nawalan ka ng sun cellular, hindi na din tayo nagkatext after nun. parati naman walang load sa globe. hai, siguro, i haven't even thanked you enough for being a part of my life. hindi man tayo naging super friends nung nagkakilala tayo about almost a decade ago. (biruin mo un? magsasampung taon na tayong magkakilala :) haha, matanda na talaga tayo noh?) pero at least, hindi hinayaan ni Lord na hindi ka maging parte ng buhay ko. salamat, salamat ng sobra sa pagkakaibigan. salamat kasi maraming pagkakataon na natatakbuhan kita, nasasabihan ng sama ng loob. namimiss ko na ikaw talaga. pati ung late night kwentuhan and everything. i hope magkakwentuhan tayo soon. magkapuyatan naman minsan. marami na tayong utang na kwento sa isa't isa. i may not say this often, pero sana naman alam mo na sobrang pinapahalagahan kita, at na mahal kita :)

2. akala talaga ng tao best friend kita. ikaw ang isa sa mga unang tao na pinagkatiwalaan ko sa UP. nakuha mo ang pansin ko sa ganda ng ngiti mo. hindi ko rin naman itinatago na ikaw ang isa sa dahilan kung bakit tinuloy ko ang application sa org. isa ka sa mga taong nasasabihan ko ng problema, at nagbibigay ng matinong advice. kahit na mukha kang gago, totoo kang tao. totoo kang kaibigan. hindi ko makakalimutan ung mga birthdays ko na tumatawag ka sa bahay para batiin ako. ung mga random days na tatawag ka, o kaya patatawagin mo ako sa inyo dahil wala kang makakwentuhan, o dahil nagpapawala ka ng amats mo. o dahil lang sa mangungumusta ka. namimiss na kita bes, namimiss na kita. namimiss ko na ung makakausap ng taong parating may sense ang sinasabi. makakausap ng taong magaan ang daloy ng usapan maski mabigat na ang problema. namimiss na kita bes. sana makausap na kita uli.

3. ikaw, ikaw ang unang kumanta sa akin sa phone, sa pabirong paraan. namimiss ko ung mga pagkakataon na kinakantahan mo ako, ung mga pagkakataon na kinukulit mo ako, na pinapakausap mo ako sa pinsan mo, na nagkukwento ka. namimiss ko ung mga pagkakataon na nagtatawanan lang tayo, dahil sa epic fail jokes mo. hindi ko maiwasang hindi maiyak kapag iniisip kita, pero, shet, namimiss na talaga kita. mula nung grumadweyt ka, at umalis, hindi na kita nakausap. maski sa friendster mo, binura mo na ako bilang friend mo. hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari sa atin. sa pagkakaibigan natin. sana maayos pa, bilang ang laki talaga ng parte mo sa buhay ko. namimiss kita, un lang masasabi ko, sobrang namimiss kita.
