Will Their Cha-Cha Help Us Achieve Our National Vision?

Will Their Cha-Cha Help Us Achieve Our National Vision?


Our National Vision states: “Whose purpose is peace”…
WILL THEIR CHA-CHA GIVE US PEACE?

The Administration’s first five proposed amendments will consolidate and perpetuate their power? What kind of leaders and people they are to deserve consolidated and less-auditable and longer power?

• They are the ones who approved GATT-WTO/Trade globalization to flood our domestic market with cheap and quality products, and prosecute patent-infringer, causing the bankruptcy of thousands of small Filipino entrepreneurs, instead of placing safety nets to allow them to survive while working out to legalize and improve their competitiveness; the people’s savings from cheap and quality imported products have come in exchange for their friends and relatives closing shop or losing jobs; No lunch is free, so they say.
• They are the ones who have ordered TESDA, Dole and other government agencies to hasten the deployment of our people abroad particularly women without work certainty and protection. They are very much aware of the deception by employment agencies, namely: that it is not actually decent works that await most of our Filipinas but immoral works of prostitutes or sex slaves, as well as low-respect domestic works prone to abuses. But they play deaf ear to the dangers that our Filipinas face. Mostly, it was too late: rape was already done. Or the OFW already has come home – inside a coffin! Some they had saved but where is praise for saving what they had fed to the “terong” in the first place? Where is gratitude deserved?
• With the 7th proposed amendment, they will literally sell our land, country, our natural resources to the foreigner whose mere cents can but hectares of land here?

How can peace be felt after seeing their superior technology driving our businesses to bankruptcy? – after seeing their thriving businesses and mansions dotting our lands while us losing our lands, houses, and freedom? How can peace be there when they become our employers or masters in our own land?

This happened to Poland, Germany and Spain: when the government allowed the Jews to settle in their land. The Jews by their financial genius and business acumen, eventually became their rich lenders and masters, while the citizens became either slaves, employees of the Jewish businessmen or they became bankrupt in their own businesses – poorer than before the Jews came.

The seeming economic development was benefiting only the foreigners as well as the government who enjoyed higher tax collection, thanks to the Jews. But overall, the lives of the citizens did not improve. The banking or financing system run by the Jews also proved disastrous. What promised to help ended up binding the people into deeper debts! When the people saw it, they revolted and drove away the Jews, to the sorrow of the government officials. The Jews were efficient tax-makers!

If we allow foreigners buy out easily our land, waters, and businesses with their almighty dollars and powerful technology and become our employers and masters, instead of rising up ourselves and moving to resurrect the independence and prosperity of this country, then, like Poland, et. al., we will suffer amidst foreigner-induced economic prosperity, and then eventually, in sheer disgust and hatred, we will drive these foreigners, the bringer of economic prosperity as well as the impoverisher of the masses, away in some bloody insurrection.

So, I prefer that they share or sell their technology to us (that is there systems, machinery) but leave us alone here. Technology Transfer, not their transfer of residence and business. For them to live with us or among us, will surely be troublesome. We won’t achieve peace side by side foreigners.

Japan only asked for knowledge from America and Europe. The Japanese government never entertained the idea of letting the foreigners make prosperity for them! They are the main makers of their own prosperity with a little help from foreign benefactors or workers. They took charge their own fate. They charted their own destiny. Not the foreigners. Nor did they allow foreigners to hinder them or stand on the way! They did not delegate nor surrender their future to unknown foreigners!

U.S. Ambassador Armacost also noted that Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong and China also have attained their economic prosperity by giving foreigner equity investment, surely, not 100% foreign ownership of businesses and properties.

I suggest we also ask the advices of Prime Ministers Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, Mahathir of Malaysia and Kozomi of Japan regarding the proposed amendments of our Charter especially the one on foreign business ownership. Of course, they will say “yes” to the 7th proposal so they can do business fully in our country. But do not ask them as businessmen; ask them what they will do if they were in our place. What they did when presented with the same problem? Did they allow the foreigners enjoy the full privileges of their citizens? Were there no laws that serve as safety nets for our people?

I guess, that in this level of immaturity, where each nation possesses more Selflove than brotherly, we can not expect them to work fully for our welfare. They will take more than they would be willing to give. That is a proven fact. And there hearts have not changed; only worsened!

Like in Germany, Poland and Spain, the Jews or foreigners continued to grow rich while the natives continued to grow poorer as a result of the foreigners’ unfair economic system!


Our National Vision states:
“happiness, success, prosperity,
justice, equality and abundant life
for all of us His human children,
envision ourselves as a people who are economically prosperous…”
Where our lands, minerals, precious metals, owned or taken over by foreigners, we cannot expect those vision to get fulfilled.

“and guaranteed total sustainable development of and for
our people and nation.”

Let us not trust them. The foreign mining firms as well as the U.S.A. military have left toxin chemicals that have destroyed our environment, polluted our waters (portable water, rivers, seas and rains) and have brought deformities and cancers upon our people!

Our National Vision states:
“WE envision of a prosperous people and a peaceful society”
This cannot be achieved if we become slaves and employees of foreigners in our own land.

“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.”
Foreigners are known polluters of pure Nature. Their sciences and technology causes such pollution. That’s a fact. And we better take pre-cautions with that!

“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.”

I assure you: Their science, knowledge, technology and machinery will never help us fulfill this vision. To the contrary, their chemicals and their greed will produce the opposite. The U.S.A. is a case in point. There’s a book that proved with solid proofs that America is a poisoned country. The title of the book is: “America the Poisoned”. And when these poisonous products and companies were told to stop the poisoning, they transferred to ignorant nations like the Philippines!

The purity, the freshness of our Nature or Environment will disappear if we let their technology abuse them – all in the name of profit.


Our National Vision states:
“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.”

This sweet vision, we can better attain without the intervention of the foreigners. The foreigners’ involvement such as in funding will instead paralyze us because we would wait forever their funding or would be led to think that without their funding we could do nothing!

Just take the “bakhaw” planting for example. Indeed I saw that the local government succeeded planting a few hectares of shores with bakhaw. What surprised me was when I was told that in order to do that, the local government had to loan P5 millions!

I surveyed the place and analyzed the complexity or possibility of the project. I concluded that it could be done by the municipal government with just one employee who will do the seedling preparation, and in a matter of months; or by the people in the area.

Millions of pesos were not needed. The bakhaws can be seeded in the nursery or at home and easily planted at low tide.

All that we needed is: Self-reliance or independent frame of mind. The mind of a person with initiative. The mind of an entrepreneur. The mind of a diligent person.

The mind not of the beggar nor of a lazy dumb servant who cannot move or act without their master’s further instructions. We need the character of the ants: They work without masters. All of them are workers. They fight without captains generals; all of them are soldiers!


Our National Vision states:
“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”

Do you know that the factories of these foreigners have produced volumes of toxic wastes which they loaded on ships and threw into our seas and oceans?

Now, ever wonder why our marine lives are dying, including our fishes?

If we copy their factories, and install them in our backyards, where do you think will you throw the wastes? Will these foreigners allow us to throw our wastes on their own seas?


Our National Vision states:
“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.”


The good news is this: This can be achieved without much help and intervention from foreigners. We can just copy the proven organic farming system such as the SRI or System of Rice Intensification which is now fast become the fad among fertilizer-wary and pesticide-infected farmers all over the world!
All we need is a basic knowledge on ecology and organic farming which is spelled as follows: Tender loving care of our non-human neighbors, namely: plants and animals and the rest of the creation.

Our National Vision states:
“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.”

The type of heavy industry of these foreigners does not suit to this vision. We have to design that type of industry by ourselves. No foreigners will help us achieve that because he is here to make money, not to waste time and his resources in achieving such vision in a country not his own. It is us who will do it.

The framers of our 1987 Constitution were wise to base industrialization on our agriculture. The provision states: “The state shall promote industrialization and full employment based on sound agricultural development and agrarian reform, through industries that make full and efficient use of human and natural resources…” Article XII, Section 1.

Although the same section states that “The President may enter into agreements with foreign-owned corporations involving either technical or financial assistance for large-scale exploration, development, and utilization of minerals, petroleum, and other mineral oils” which more probably than not, will entail pollution of our environment, the following purpose statement should serve as guide to wit: “based on real contribution to the economic growth and general welfare of the country.” General welfare of the country should mean the protection and preservation of the basics of life such as land, water, air, food, etc.

This means to say first and foremost, that any business undertaking that will pollute or destroy these basics of life should not be pushed through!

Only life-friendly technology for sustainable life shall be allowed.

I recently read one high official in the National League of Municipal Mayors in the Philippines lambasting the to him naïve framers of the Constitution for the above-quoted provision preventing the kind of industrialization responsible for the progress of nations like the England, the U.S., Germany, Japan, etc.

May I advise that man to please review the kind of progress these mentioned nations had gone through in the past centuries. And then to ask them whether or not they would like to go through the same experience. My naïve official, do you know that this kind of progress that you were referring to is the same force that has destroyed their rivers and underground waters, with chemicals, poisoned their farms, polluted their air, and brought their people tremendous sufferings in the form of cancers? Deformed children. Debilitating sicknesses. Sky-high cost of medications. Immeasurable sorrows! What do you call them? Progress? Even in terms of farm output, their chemical-based methods are giving them progress in reverse! The high yield that they were celebrating thanks to scientific methods is fast diminishing, due to totally dead soil and highly poisonous chemicals.

I advise you further to secure the U.S. book titled “Poisoned America” and you will certainly back track with your ill-informed desire to follow their example of industrialization!

Look up! We already have an ozone hole in Antarctica, 27.4 million sq km, thanks to the huge thick CFC smoke from the U.S. crude fossil oil refineries that lined up her coastal states facing the Atlantic opposite the Middle East. Result: killer hurricanes!

O foolish leaders of this country! When will you come to realize that you do not deserve to lead this nation because you are blind men leading the blind!

Yes, shameless ones, time is soon when you will resign because of new-found shame!


Our National Vision states:
“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.”

Piles of evidence are being brought everyday to prove that INDUSTRY BASED ON CHEMICALS ARE ANTI-LIFE, ENVIRONMENT-HOSTILE AND HARMFUL TO HUMANS!

It means poisoning and diseases such as cancers!


Our National Vision states:
“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.”


This we can do with our own families. No need for foreign investors!

Our National Vision states:
“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.”


The most important thing we MUST DO is restore the capacity of our land, farm and barangay to support its families!
And organic farming holds the key to the return of high-yielding fertility and sustainability.

WE don’t need foreigners to achieve this vision. All we need is God, His teachings or guidance, the land and natural resources that He has given us, and our obedience and diligence.


Our National Vision states:
“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.”

Some countries possess and sell this kind of machinery. We can buy them.

Our National Vision states:
“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.”


And then, we end with a sort of epilogue:

“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….”


So that’s all that we need! We do not need foreign assistance. We need divine assistance however to effect the kind of character which we can use as a tool to emancipate ourselves from other forms of poverty.

In short, we do not need Cha-Cha to attain this wonderful and beautiful vision. We just need CHARACTER CHANGE (Char-Cha). And to attain Char-Cha, we have God to help us. All we have to do is tell Him: “Father, it’s Char-Cha that we have come up to be what we shall pursue. Please help us achieve this. As for Cha-Cha, let it not prosper. Amen.”

Personally ask that and it shall be begin. He promised: If My people will pray and humble themselves, then, I will hear and heal their land!

As a matter of fact, their Cha-Cha will pose a great hindrance to our attaining this vision because their Cha-Cha will make these enemies more powerful and more able to continue dispersing and driving us to other nations to get dollars to offset their stupidity, hide their incompetence, and fund their graft and corruption.

With their Cha-Cha, they will continue to drive us away from this our Native Land and they will have all the freedom and power to begin to let foreigners come in!

If there is a few words to best describe their Cha-Cha, these are as follows: TREACHERY, BETRAYAL AND TREASON AGAINST THE FILIPINO PEOPLE!

Their Cha-Cha is consolidation and perpetuation of their power – read: CORRUPT EVIL POWER - so that they can continue their “Fly-Now-Pay-Later” driving- away-the-Filipinos program, so that they can continue stealing from the National coffer without fear of bankruptcy because there is the dollar that the OFW remits, and also without anymore the possibility of being caught because their proposed Parliamentary-Unicameral system will remove all balance-and-check engines present in today’s Presidential-Bicameral system.

It is very clear what will happen: They steal the more, when the built-in check-and-balance is removed, and prevent consequent government bankruptcy by sending more Filipinos abroad to bail out the nation with their dollars,

And they will let foreigners in to further rape and ravish our Motherland.

After they had sent all beautiful Filipinas to be ravished, abused and raped and devoured in foreign lands!

Our fat plains and fertile valleys are already in the hands of the hacienderos and the Church.

What’s left – namely: our infertile mountaintops, our eroded slopes and cliffs - will be taken by the foreigners with his mighty dollars.

So, if now we are in the mountain slopes, sooner we shall be pushed to the edge of the cliffs! Or to go down to the cities and beg!

During the recent years, the homeless and landless Badjaos suddenly flocked in Cebu City. This alarmed Mayor Osmeña. These beggars filled the streets, and irritated the pedestrians. When asked why they had suddenly come en masse to Cebu, the Badjaos answered Mayor Osmeña: “The last source of livelihood that we had, which is the shorelines and the shallow sea, have been turned into fish sanctuaries and fishing is not allowed, and not only that, we have no equipment to fish in the deeper sea, and so, we prefer to beg here where it is surer to survive than to die in hunger.”

Shall the same fate happen to us in our own country when the foreigners due to their advantage in capital, technology, management and entrepreneurial skills, higher intelligence, and access to power?

I am afraid – this fear began recently – that what we, from Luzon and the Visayas – we, so-called civilized and Christianized section of our country had done to our helpless native brothers and sisters starting in the previous decades, namely: driving them away from the land, we seized and called our own, and by our merciless destruction of the forest, inevitably killed them en masse – I fear that WHAT WE DID TO THEM IS THE SAME BEING DONE TO US BY THE FOREIGNERS, namely: being driven from our homeland!

Are we now reaping our own sowing? Is Karma then immutable? Is God’s law of Cause and Effect inexorable? Is the Almighty giving us to the same experience for what we had done to our own blood brothers and sisters, the native tribes of this land?

If this crime was true, then

This will happen to us!

Furthermore, when these present greed-driven leaders are secured in their consolidated and perpetuated power, thanks to our approval to their Cha-Cha this coming plebiscite,

Then, all money-making operations which will destroy the moral fabric of the youth and nation shall be accelerated. I still need to mention these evil operations: gambling, drugs, flesh trade, guns, and the likes!

One observer is correct to say, These men we have now in government particularly Speaker De Venecia, and his cohorts are worse than Marcos!

It is heroism if someone can stop them – by all means!
