OUR VISION

OUR VISION

WE, the Filipino, a tribe in the family of nations,
Cradled in this beautiful and richly blessed Pearl of the Orient,
Created after the image of the Almighty and All-loving Father of all Mankind,
Whose purpose is peace, happiness, success, prosperity,
justice, equality and abundant life
for all of us His human children,
envision ourselves as a people who are economically prosperous
because we are founded on and guided by the true moral values
that, among us, nurtured faith and love;
taught discipline, diligence and productivity;
borne peace and happiness;
and guaranteed total sustainable development of and for
our people and nation.

WE envision of a prosperous people and a peaceful society,
Established upon the solid foundation of the true moral values
of honesty and discipline, patience and diligence,
resourcefulness and responsibility…
of the Christian beatitudes of love and compassion,
mercy and kindness, faith and hope, humility and
gentleness…
which are the true and eternal keys to total and sustainable development.

We envision of a society where there is abundance
of beauty and richness of nature.
The valleys are verdant and the plains are beckoning.
The landscape is awesome and the surrounding is poetic
and musical.

A society where life thrives
and living is conducive, joyous and exciting.
A lush beautiful dwelling place
abounding in clean and plenteous water, bubbling fresh.
And abounding in pure, cool, refreshing air.
The land is fat and the farm exudes health and
brilliance to all families.
The food is abundant, delicious and nutritious

We envision a family life in the countryside which is farm-based.
A farm which provides us with sufficient, fresh and
nutritious fruits, vegetation and crops.
A farm that gives health, strengths, healing, wisdom and wealth.


We envision a sea with wealth and abundance
Which are more than enough for countless of succeeding generations.
A sea which showcases the beauty of Creation and tells
of the greatness of the Creator

We envision of an agro-industrialized country
Where both agriculture and industry thrive together
and mutually support each other.
This means to say that it is an industry that does not deplete our soil,
Nor degrade the richness of our lands,
nor poison our livestock and vegetation,
Nor pollute our rivers and seas, air and food,
Nor deny us of our health nor rob us of our precious life.
Rather, it is an industry that preserves and protects our environment
Replenishes the resources of the Earth,
respects our life relationships
And contributes to our well-being and happiness.

It will be an industrialization that is situated in places
Where there are enough trees and plants to absorb the exhausts
And recycles the wastes of factory and its products;
Thus, preventing pollution of the air, food and water.

More hopefully, it will be an industry whose products
as well as wastes are life-friendly,
That is, not harmful to the environment or to human beings.

We also envision of an industrialization that spreads into the countryside
To solve and further prevent urban congestions, traffic,
pollution, poverty, fires, crimes and immoralities.

We envision an industry that protects and preserves the
sanctity of marriage and family.
It is an industry that is usually rural-based
So that workers will be safe and away from the dangers
of the spiritually degenerating cities.

As mush as possible, it will be a home-based industrialization
So that family members will not be separated from each other,
So that each workers be safe from the abuses of alien
oppressive employers,
So that couples shall be spared from the temptations
Caused by geographical and emotional separation.
So that all members of the family can share work,
Life and happiness together
Thereby building a close-limit family
as the foundation of a strong society
And as the source of strong and upright leaders
And builders of tomorrow ‘s renewed Philippines.

We envision of a mechanized country
to lighten up the burdens and toils of each man and woman.
To enhance the quality of workmanship and to speed up production

And, consequently, allow families enough time off work
To enjoy family life together
And for each member of the family
to develop his/her talents into hobbies
Or even turn his hobbies into an enterprise
for more excellent service to mankind
Nevertheless, such mechanization should not be pollutant
So that our environment would be kept fresh and healthful.
Furthermore, it should not be too concentrated in one place
So that our place would not become too unbanized
To the extent that our value of familism would get eroded
And godliness replaced by materialism and immorality.

In others words, we envision a society
where there is much beauty and health, cleanliness and freshness,
Where Love and righteousness, work and leisure,
joy and peace, richness and abundance
Are preserved and spread to all parts of nation and to all the earth —
Where the all-important God-ordained institutions of marriage and family
Are protected from destruction
Where mechanization produces an industrialization
That does not endanger our relationship with and in our families,
neighbors, and with our Creator.

This is our vision of total and sustainable development,
For the people, by the people, with the people, through the people
And with the help, blessings and the guidance of the Almighty Ever-merciful God
Who is our Creator, Provider, Sustainer, Savior and Everlasting Father.

This is made possible
Because we are a people made after the image of God
Richly endowed with Wisdom and Love from above.
Because of which we are a diligent, patient, responsible, disciplined,
Upright, kind, merciful, peace-loving people.

We build, nurture, sustain and maintain.
We produce rather than consume.
We save rather than spend.
We invest rather than waste.
We are a thrifty, honest and diligent and productive people.

This, too, is our vision for a national character.

And this we will achieve with all our hearts, mind and might,
In service to man for the glory of God…..

So guide and equip us God….
