My Next President

written by Francis Jaudian

MAR ROXAS

Being the administration’s standard-bearer, Mar Roxas’ platform of government for 2016 presidential elections will be a platform of ‘continuity’. Quoting an article from Inquirer.net:

Continuity will be the cornerstone of the Liberal Party (LP) standard-bearer’s campaign, banking on the purported gains of the Aquino administration’s centerpiece governance agenda of “daang matuwid” (straight path).

Since the platforms of Mr. Roxas will be based or just a continuation of advocacies of President Aquino, allow us to enumerate the 16-Point agenda of PNoy, as follows:

A COMMITMENT TO TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP

1. From a President who tolerates corruption to a President who is the nation’s first and most determined fighter of corruption;
2. From a government that merely conjures economic growth statistics that our people know to be unreal to a government that prioritizes jobs that empower the people and provide them with opportunities to rise above poverty;
3. From relegating education to just one of many concerns to making education the central strategy for investing in our people, reducing poverty and building national competitiveness;
4. From treating health as just another area for political patronage to recognizing the advancement and protection of public health, which includes responsible parenthood, as key measures of good governance;
5. From justice that money and connections can buy to a truly impartial system of institutions that deliver equal justice to rich or poor;

ECONOMY

6. From government policies influenced by well-connected private interest to a leadership that executes all the laws of the land with impartiality and decisiveness;
7. From treating the rural economy as just a source of problems to recognizing farms and rural enterprises as vital to achieving food security and more equitable economic growth, worthy of re-investment for sustained productivity;
8. From government anti-poverty programs that instill a dole-out mentality to well-considered programs that build capacity and create opportunity among the poor and the marginalized in the country;
9. From a government that dampens private initiative and enterprise to a government that creates conditions conducive to the growth and competitiveness of private businesses, big, medium and small;
10. From a government that treats its people as an export commodity and a means to earn foreign exchange, disregarding the social cost to Filipino families to a government that creates jobs at home, so that working abroad will be a choice rather than a necessity; and when its citizens do choose to become OFWs, their welfare and protection will still be the government’s priority;

GOVERNMENT SERVICE

11. From Presidential appointees chosen mainly out of political accommodation to discerning selection based on integrity, competence and performance in serving the public good;
12. From demoralized but dedicated civil servants, military and police personnel destined for failure and frustration due to inadequate operational support to professional, motivated and energized bureaucracies with adequate means to preform their public service missions;

GENDER EQUALITY

13. From a lack of concern for gender disparities and shortfalls to the promotion of equal gender opportunity in all spheres of public policies and programs;

PEACE & ORDER

14. From a disjointed, short-sighted Mindanao policy that merely reacts to events and incidents of the Moro and other peoples of Mindanao to one that seeks a broadly-supported just peace and will redress decades of neglect;

ENVIRONMENT

15. From allowing environmental blight to spoil our cities, where both the rich and the poor bear with congestion and urban decay to planning alternative, inclusive urban developments where people of varying income levels are integrated in productive, healthy and safe communities;
16. From a government obsessed with exploiting the country for immediate gains to the detriment of its environment to a government that will encourage sustainable use of resources;
This platform is a commitment to change that Filipinos can depend on. With trust in their leaders, everyone can work and build a greater future together.

As for the social and political side, Roxas’ platforms are the following:
1. Further implementation of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, which provides conditional cash incentives and other health and education benefits to the poor. With this, he believes that poverty incidence in the country could be reduced to low level;
2. The improvement on disaster risk reduction and management;
3. Supports the passage regarding the Basic Bangsamoro Law and eventually wants to resolve disputes occurring in Mindanao in order to lessen possible negative social consequences;
4. Lastly, as for political side, Mar Roxas vows to fight corruption, which has become the biggest issue in Philippine politics; and in the Aquino administration, Pork Barrel Scam emerged; but Roxas, in his campaign, promises to make the government efficient again by implementing orders and laws with regards to anti-corruption.
At the 41st Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industries (PCCI) conference held last October 27, Mar Roxas laid the following:

1. will not amend economic provisions in the 1987 Constitution.
2. study proposals to lower income tax very carefully
3. appoint Cabinet members based on trust and confidence and integrity
4. will not create new departments
5. focus on foreign direct investment
6. focus on tourism, agriculture, and manufacturing for job generation
7. continue transparency and rules-based governance
8. continue anti-corruption efforts

Maaring kontento na ako sa kasalukuyang presidente at hangad kong maipagpatuloy ito kung sakaling mahalal si Roxas sa pagkapresidente ngayon 2016.  Una sa lahat hangad ko kasi ay katahimikan sa Pilipinas, pangalawa mabawasan ang corrupt at pangatlo job oppurtunities dahil pagmaraming papasok na negosyo dadami ang mapagtatrabahoan.

Kaya sa darating na eleksyon hangad ko ay peaceful election at walang halong pandaraya.  Kahit sino man mahalal na presidente sanay maayos nya ang problema ng pilipinas at walang halong di magandang gawain.

 

Tungkol sa IT subject ko

Simula ng klase lahat ng estudyante ng aabang kung ano nga ba ang IT subject. Ang iba naman ay nag-aabang kung sino ang maging guro sa IT subject at ang iba naman ay kung sino ang maging mga kaklase nila. Maraming tanong sa simula at ng katagalan ay naging chismisan na sa oras ng klase. (Sorry No offense sa mga ngchismisan :-) )

Ang IT subject guro ko ay masaya at minsan naman ay nakakadismaya pero nadadaan nalang sa smile. :-) Masaya dahil mabait ang aming guro at paminsan medyo strikto daw sya dahil kailangan maging strikto nagawa niya ba talaga o hindi niya lang talaga matiis ang klase hehe. Minsan nagbibigay ng inpormasyon ang aming guro na di nman kasama sa kanyang topic at mahalaga nga naman at natototo din naman kami sa mga bagay bagay.  Minsan nakakadismaya dahil hugot siya at pinapatulan naman ng ibang kaklase ko at di ako nakakasakay hehe (bitter).

Tungkol naman sa tinuturo ng aming guro, totoo natototo nga kami at marami kaming natotonan lalo na sa mga bagohan sa IT. Napakahalaga ng mga itinuturo ng aming guro lalo nasa panahon ngayon na kung ano-ano ang naglalabasan na mga gadget at mga aplikasyon nito na dapat naming malalaman. At ng dahil sa tinuturo ng aming guro, nalalaman namin ang importansya at kagamitan sa pang araw-araw at sa darating pang mga panahon na kakailanganin namin iyon. Siguro mahirap talaga ang IT subject kaya marami parin mababa ang grado sa amin, siguro yon ng dahil halos sa amin ay mga ngtatrabaho at nahihirapan ng mga memorya ng mga topic na itinuturo. Ngunit mabait naman ang aming at lagi naman kami niyang pinapaalalahanan at minsan sa assignment binibigyan kami ng palugit.

Kaya sa aming guro at sa IT subject walang halong bola totoo marami akong natotonan at tingin ko talaga napakaimportante nito bilang estudyante at sa magiging sa pagtatapos bilang estudyante. Salamat at malaking opputunidad nito sa akin na nasama sa curriculum namin sa Office Administration.
