Greetings to everyone….

As we continue our quest and hope for our beloved Philippines, let me invite each and every Filipinos locally and all over the world to observe and get involve in the dramatic recovery of our damaged reputation worldwide.  This includes a revolutionary reformation of our behavior consistent with basic and fundamentally acceptable norms of conduct and to implant in our mind the will to change for the benefit of all including ourselves. This is a huge undertaking for us who really long for a better if not the best for the Philippines in all its form.

The solution scenario seems to be easy to define in words but it’s quite different in terms of actual actions for the parties concerned. At any rate, it is worth mentioning hoping each and every one of us, individually or as a group, is awaken by the urgency of its realization. What can be done on the following dilemma that put us down?

• Stop government graft and corruption from top to bottom
• Start to teach, guide, and practice at high school, grade schools and below,  basic good manners and right conduct with qualified, dignified, and raw model teachers
• Encourage production in all its form accompanied by proper use of the same for the benefit of all and maintain economic stability
• Encourage creativity and look forward always for a better tomorrow
• Don’t play the blame game and face the problem instead
• Maintain peace and order including good if not excellent health
• Weed out all the bad elements that menace the country and its people
• Make the country beautiful as always and create an environment for world to see and enjoy with us

These are not all inclusive but enough ingredients for a BETTER PHILIPPINES TO BE A PART OF THE WORLD COMMUNITY. Let us attract the WORLD to come in, enjoy the wonderful things we have, and encourage them to bring in the fortune to augment our limited  resources in order to initiate and improve the economic stability for the yearning Filipinos, eager to see what a wonderful world is there for everyone to share and enjoy.
