Yes to charter change: evolving federalism

EVOLVING FEDERALISM

ARTICLE 10: Structure of TERRITORIAL Administration - National and Local Government

REFORM to or adapt EVOLVING FEDERALISM or REGION BASED DECENTRALIZATION from the current CENTRALIZED and UNITARY STRUCTURE.

For FEDERALISM to work in the Philippines, we need it to be EVOLVING and we need to first REMOVE ALL ECONOMIC PROVISIONS in the CONSTITUTION and setup a PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM of government at all levels.

WHY EVOLVING FEDERALISM?
Evolving federalism refers to the decentralization of power and decision-making from the central government to regional or local authorities.

DECONGESTION of MAJOR URBAN CENTERS:
Decentralization can lead to the development of new urban centers and the growth of smaller towns and cities, reducing the burden on major urban centers. This can help to ease congestion, reduce pollution, and improve the quality of life in these areas.

REGIONAL RESPONSIBILITY: Decentralization can also empower regional or local authorities to take greater responsibility for their own development, including infrastructure, education, health, and social services. This can help to ensure that resources are distributed more equitably across different regions, reducing disparities and promoting social cohesion.

REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Decentralization can also lead to the development of regional economies, with local authorities able to tailor policies and programs to the specific needs of their regions. This can promote entrepreneurship, innovation, and competitiveness, driving economic growth and job creation.

REGIONAL CULTURE and LANGUAGE ENRICHMENT: Decentralization can also help to preserve and promote regional cultures and languages, which may be threatened by globalization and centralization. By empowering regional authorities to take greater responsibility for cultural and linguistic policies, decentralization can help to ensure that diverse cultural and linguistic traditions are valued and celebrated.

Setting up "Evolving Federalism" means that right upon RATIFICATION of such a change, the Philippines will, at that point, STILL BE UNITARY.

Yup, we will still be unitary ON DAY ONE after ratification.

All that will happen is that the configuration parameters of the structure of territorial administration will be altered so that our territorial administration will mimic the situation of Spain right after their adoption of the 1978 Constitution, which is:

1. adjacent provinces are to group themselves together based on similar language/ethnicity/culture.
2. the concept of "independent cities" will be removed so that rich and highly urbanized cities will essentially be contributing to their province and region in general.
3. the regions (formed by the joining of similar provinces) will be given the ability to form their own governing bodies based on the parliamentary system.

Peculiar to the Philippines, this will also be adopted:

• All regions who are economically self-sufficient can become Federated Regions, and will help contribute funds to the Federal Government, part of which will also help the less-developed regions.
• All regions who are NOT YET economically self-sufficient will automatically become Federal Territories, essentially under Federal Government supervision and assistance.
• The National Capital Region will NOT become an autonomous community but will instead be directly under the Federal Government. It will be called the Federal Capital Territory of Metropolitan Manila. This "territory" will be the key "funding source" of the National Government.

Yes to charter change: annual returns ng pagbabago

Nasa 800 BILLION to 1 TRILLION PESOS ang potential ANNUAL RETURNS ng Constitutional Reforms or CHARTER CHANGE.

Ang sinasabi na maaring gastos for having a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION is around 11-15B PESOS one time cost or expense.

Maraming NAGREREKLAMO na MALAKI raw ito na GASTOS... Pero hindi nila sinasabi kung ano ang benefit if magConstitutional Reforms tayo.

THE BENEFIT OUTWEIGHS the COST by 789 BILLION PESOS or MORE.
The REALITY is that CHARTER CHANGE or CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS is not an EXPENSE but an INVESTMENT, a VERY GOOD INVESTMENT with a VERY HIGH POTENTIAL RETURNS.

Tingnan na lang natin sa dalawang aspeto. Ito ang sa FDIs or FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS at sa COST of CORRUPTION.

1. FDIs or FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS
https://www.macrotrends.net/.../foreign-direct-investment....
Ang ANNUAL AVERAGE ng PILIPINAS is around US$8Billion of FDIs entering the country.
If we REMOVE ALL ECONOMIC PROVISIONS in the CONSTITUTION, the FDIs is projected to maybe double or triple.
That is around US$8Billion more on FDIs or PHP448Billion entering the Philippine Economy in the form of JOBS and capital INVESTMENTS and business expenditures benefiting the common workforce, the MSMEs, and the local businesses as a whole.
Add to that the intangible benefit of TECHNOLOGY and SKILLS TRANSFER to the labor force.

2. SAVINGS on CORRUPTION Costs
https://news.abs-cbn.com/.../p700-billion-lost-yearly-due...
The Philippines is losing around P700 billion, or around 20 percent of the country's total budget appropriation, yearly, due to corruption, an official said.
If we SHIFT to FEDERAL PARLIAMENTARY, and if we can hopefully reduce CORRUPTION by 50%, that is a SAVINGS of PHP350Billion every year.

3. Kahit pa we will use a VERY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE.

For FDIs (increase of just 10%)
448B pesos * .1 = 44.8Billion Pesos

For Corruption(down by 10%)
700B pesos * .1 = 70Billion Pesos

For a total of 115Billion Pesos.

Dito sa dalawang aspeto, kitang kita na natin na ang laki ng BENEFITS if we do CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS as soon as possible.

Maliit na maliit lang ang ating INVESTMENT of 11B at kahit na DOBLEHEN pa to 22B pesos
as compared to Potential RETURN of 800 Billion or 115Billion Pesos conservatively.

Wala pa diyan ang other benefits like

1. Improved standards of living for the people.
2. Improved quality of goods and services
3. Improved efficiency and effectiveness of the government system

It really just makes GOOD BUSINESS SENSE to do CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS or CHARTER CHANGE.

This just proves the POINT that COST should never be an ISSUE for doing Constitutional Reforms because the benefit is just too high to ignore. It would just be IDIOTIC to ignore this REALITY.

With this crude and basic analysis, pwede pa natin pagsabayin ang Constitutional Convention(CON-CON) at ang Constituent Assembly(CON-ASS) to ensure that we will have COMPLETE and FAST DELIVERY of the NEEDED CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS.

Yes to charter change: open market or economic liberation

OPEN MARKET ECONOMY or ECONOMIC LIBERALIZATION?

ARTICLES 12, 14, & 16 - National Economy and Patrimony , Education, Mass Media
DELETE/REMOVE ALL THE ECONOMIC PROVISIONS AND RESTRICTIONS in the CONSTITUTION.

Ito ang mga articles of the 1987 Constitution ang PINAKADAHILAN na SANHI ng KAHIRAPAN sa
PILIPINAS,

1. kung bakit MATAMLAY ang pasok ng FOREIGN INVESTORS sa bansa..
2. KAWALAN ng TRABAHO, MABABANG SWELDO
3. MABABANG quality ng serbisyo sa INTERNET,
4. MAHAL at putol2x na supply sa KURYENTE,
5. WALANG AYOS na PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
6. PAGHIHIKAHOS ng mga MAGSASAKA
7. Kung BAKIT MARAMING OFWs at NURSES na nag-aabroad

Kung bakit nagsisiksikan ang mga tao sa NCR Manila at nakatiwangwang at napagiiwanan na ang mga probinsya sa LUZON, VISAYAS and MINDANAO.

ISA sa mga SOLUTION para DUMAMI ang mga multinational investors and DADAMI ang TRABAHO sa bansa ay ito:
DELETE/REMOVE ALL THESE ARTICLES OF ECONOMIC PROVISIONS AND RESTRICTIONS in the CONSTITUTION.

Put them in NORMAL LEGISLATION by the PARLIAMENT preferably the REGIONAL PARLIAMENTS.

Tanggalin na lahat ng mga probisyon sa 1987 CONSTITUTION na syang balakid sa pagunlad ng ating ekonomiya katulad ng 60/40 ownership provisions sa Article 12.

And SHIFT TO FEDERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM and COUNCIL MANAGER SYSTEM at the LOCAL LEVEL.

Ito rin ang isa sa solusyon sa problema natin sa AGRICULTURA, sa HEALTHCARE, EDUKASYON, ENERGY, sa pagiging MAHIRAP na BANSA at sa LAGANAP na KORUPSYON.

Ito rin ay solusyon sa problema ng squatters at matinding trapik at OVERPOPULATION sa NCR Manila.

IKALAT po natin itong post na ito sa FB page ng ating mga SENADOR at mga CONGRESSMEN at ng masuportahan nila ang REPORMA sa Konstitution na isinusulong ni Senator ROBIN PADILLA .

We support Senator ROBIN PADILLA and REPRESENTATIVE RUFUS RODRIGUEZ and their committee on CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

We support our OFW Champion, Mr ORION PEREZ DUMDUM of the CoRRECT Movement , Professor Tony Abad, NSA Professor CLARITA CARLOS, and Atty Demosthenes Donato and Professor Malou Tiquia.

Kailangan natin ang dalawang moda na CON-CON and CON-ASS for SHORT and LONG TERM CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS.

Copy and paste lang sa lahat ng comments sections para mamulat ang mga tao sa katotohanan kung ano talaga ang solusyon sa problema sa KAHIRAPAN, KORUPSYON at KAWALAN ng TRABAHO.
PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM:

Competition among political parties and blocs ensures that the public ends up with better parties, higher quality politicians, competent leaders, and the direct competition between Opposition Shadow Cabinet versus Government Cabinet means greater scrutiny of decision-making & budget concerns, thus drastically reducing/minimizing corruption and influence peddling.

EVOLVING FEDERALISM:
Competition among regions ensures that regions try to outdo each other in attracting investors, coming up with better policies, streamlining their bureaucracies, improving their infrastructure, etc.

ECONOMIC LIBERALIZATION:
Competition among corporations and companies creates more jobs, increases wages for employees, and creates better goods and services for consumers/clients/customers.

Big failures of EDSA revolution

The EDSA People Power Revolution of 1986 was a peaceful mass demonstration in the Philippines that resulted in the downfall of President Ferdinand Marcos and the rise of Corazon Aquino as President. However, the revolution failed to bring about significant changes in the country's political and economic systems.

One reason for the failure of the EDSA People Power Revolution was the lack of a clear plan for post-revolutionary governance. The Aquino administration had difficulty maintaining unity among the diverse groups that had participated in the revolution, and there was a lack of consensus on what the new government should do.

Another reason for the failure of the EDSA People Power Revolution was the lack of political will to implement real change. Many members of the Aquino administration were former Marcos supporters, and they were not committed to fundamentally changing the systems of corruption and patronage that had been in place under Marcos.

Additionally, the failure of the EDSA People Power Revolution was a result of the lack of effective leadership. The Aquino administration was plagued by infighting, political maneuvering, and a lack of decisive action, which hindered its ability to effectively govern the country.

Overall, the EDSA People Power Revolution of 1986 was a momentous event in Philippine history, but it ultimately failed to bring about the lasting change that many Filipinos had hoped for.

Recruiter officially

Today, this will be the day where I am officially onboarding for a new role as a recruitment officer where I will be using Spanish language as the main communication method. I will be assisting clients and companies on their applications like I did for over two years in the education campaign in the year 2017.

Using Spanish language other than English will not only double but triple your earnings here in the Philippines. So if you know how to speak Spanish or any other international language, make darn sure to use it for your advantage. That advantage is officially starts today for my career.

A session of learning in 2018

In case you're new to this, here are some tips to help you learn Spanish:

Immerse yourself: Try to immerse yourself in the Spanish language as much as possible. This could mean speaking Spanish with native speakers, watching Spanish TV shows and movies, or reading Spanish books.

Practice regularly: Make a habit of practicing Spanish regularly, such as speaking with a tutor or language exchange partner, or completing online exercises.

Use language learning apps: Take advantage of language learning apps and software, such as Duolingo, Babbel, or Rosetta Stone.

Learn vocabulary and grammar: Focus on learning the most common vocabulary words and grammar structures first, then build upon that foundation.

Practice speaking: Find opportunities to practice speaking Spanish, such as joining a language club or speaking with native Spanish speakers.

Stay motivated: Set goals for yourself and track your progress, and reward yourself for accomplishments along the way.

Learn about the culture: Understanding Spanish culture and customs can also enhance your language learning experience.

Be patient: Learning a new language takes time, so be patient and don't get discouraged.

The above tips apply to other languages as well like French, Arabic, Russian, etc. By following these tips and practicing regularly, you can improve your language skills and achieve your language learning goals. If you like, you can send me a message so I can help you as well.

Let's change the constitution

The Philippines has a presidential, unitary, and constitutional republic with a multi-party system. The 1987 Philippine Constitution, the country's current constitution, can be amended through a process called "Constitutional amendment" or "Charter change" (Cha-cha). The process of amending the constitution involves several steps, including proposal, deliberation, and ratification.

The Constitution can be amended by Congress through a vote of three-fourths of all its members, or through a Constitutional Convention called for the purpose, or through people's initiative. The proposed changes must also be ratified by a majority of the votes cast in a plebiscite. The process of amending the constitution is often a contentious issue in the Philippines, with different political groups having varying opinions on the need and the specifics of any proposed changes.

It is long overdue to change the constitution which put the country in its status quo. It is high time to reform. If not now, when? That's the question.

Benefits of reforming the 1987 constitution of the Philippines

1. Improved governance: A reformed constitution would provide a clearer and more efficient system of governance, ensuring that public officials are held accountable for their actions and that the rights of citizens are protected.
2. Economic growth: A reformed constitution would help to create a more stable and predictable economic environment, encouraging investment and promoting economic growth.
3. Better representation: A reformed constitution would ensure that all citizens are represented in government and that their voices are heard in the political process.
4. Increased autonomy: A reformed constitution would give more power to local governments, allowing them to make decisions that are best for their communities.
5. Improved social services: A reformed constitution would provide for better access to education, healthcare, and other social services for all citizens, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
6. Enhanced human rights: A reformed constitution would ensure that the rights of all citizens, including minority groups, are protected and upheld.
7. Greater accountability: A reformed constitution would make it easier for citizens to hold public officials accountable for their actions and to hold them to account if they fail to perform their duties.
8. More efficient government: A reformed constitution would make the government more efficient by streamlining bureaucratic processes and reducing red tape.
9. Stronger democracy: A reformed constitution would help to strengthen democracy by ensuring that citizens have a greater say in how their government operates.
10. Improved foreign relations: A reformed constitution would help to improve relations with other countries by providing a stable and predictable political environment.

Only the stupid groups like the Makabayan bloc, fake economist Winnie Monsod among others are against constitution reform. Their solution is "vote wisely" which did not work for over 36 years now.

My sugar diet ends today

Actually I started this diet during the last days of January 2023 and that's great! I feel great. By removing added sugars from my diet can have many health benefits, including weight loss, improved heart health, and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. I was recently diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis so it is important to stay healthy. So it's very important to remember also that sugar is often hidden in many packaged foods, make sure to read labels and be aware of the different names for sugar, such as high fructose corn syrup, glucose, and dextrose. Additionally, it can be helpful to focus on eating whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables, that are naturally low in sugar.

Matcha drink but no sugar.

Living a life without sugar can be a challenge for many people as sugar is a common ingredient in lots of foods and drinks. It is so difficult to find sugar-free options and some people may experience withdrawal symptoms such as headache, fatigue, and food craving. However, there are more benefits to cutting sugar out of your diet, such as improved blood sugar control, weight loss, and a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. So the benefits outweighs the kind of life with so many sugar around.

One way to reduce your sugar intake is to limit your consumption of processed foods and drinks. Instead, replace these for whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Also, using natural sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup in small amounts.

Another approach is to gradually reduce your sugar intake over time. So starting soon is better than later. Start by cutting back on sugary drinks, such as soda and juice, and eventually reducing the amount of sugar in your coffee or tea. You can also try reducing your sugar intake by half over the course of a few weeks.

So best of luck on my journey! I hope you do the same, with God's help.
