MERGED: FEDERAL DEMOCRACY: A solution to the sick country, the Philippines.

[kazki]

---

that's because all the money generated in the other big cities goes to the capital of the Philippines. that's why they are more developed than others.

Exactly my point... I think it's about time we spread the growth and development and not focus it on the capital. This move will help solve a lot of problems in our government.

[BIGMAN]

dili diay na nato ma buhat sa current government system??

Absolutely not. We are using this system for 70 yrs.,then what? Do I need to explain more?
This is a rotten system of government, k.

1. Follow traffic rules -- Why is that the most important? The answer is
simple. Traffic rules are the simplest of our laws. If we learn to follow
them, it will be the lowest form of national discipline that we can develop.
Since it is totally without monetary cost, it should be easy for us to
comply with, and therefore should provide a good start.

2. Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an official receipt.
-- If a seller does not issue an official receipt when you buy a product,
the seller may or may not remit the tax to the government. Without an O.R.,
there is no record of the sale transaction, and the tax that you paid may
not be remitted to the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

3. Do not buy smuggled goods. Buy local, buy Filipino. -- It may not be good
economics to buy 100 percent local products.What I suggest is for us to take
a "50-50" buying attitude. This means that we must develop the attitude of
using 50 percent of our budget for local products and the other 50 percent
for imported choices.

4. When you talk to others, especially foreigners,speak positively of our
race and our country -- this is best addressedto the rich and the middle
class in our country, who have contact with the outside world.It is they who
talk to, dine or deal with foreigners either here or abroad. It is what they
say and do which creates impressions about us among foreigners.

5. Respect your traffic officer, policeman, soldier and other public
servants -- There is nothing like the power of respect. It makes a person
proud. It makes one feel honorable. At the same time, courtesy to others is
good manners. It is class and elegance and kindness. It is seeing the value
and dignity in the other man. It is, in fact, a mark of a most profound
education.

6. Do not litter. Dispose your garbage properly. Segregate.

Recycle.Conserve. -- As Louis Armstrong says in his song: "I see trees of
green, red roses, too, I see them bloom for me and you and I think to
myself, what a wonderful world."

7. Support your church. (or charitable/ civic organizations -

8. During elections, do your solemn duty. -- Honesty, more than a masteral
or doctorate degree, is what gives credibility. And credibility is essential
because it is a leader's link to the people.It is what makes the people look
to one direction,follow a common vision, and perform a uniform act. In
short,credibility is what makes people follow the leader.

9. Pay your employees well. -- No exercise is better for the human heart
than to reach down and lift someone else up. This truly defines a successful
life. For success is the sum, not of our earthly possessions, but of how
many times we have shown love and kindness to others.

10. Pay your taxes. -- In 2003, P83 billion was collected from individual
income taxes. But 91 percent of this amount came from salaried workers from
the government and private sector, people who had no choice since their
income taxes were withheld mandatorily. Only P7 billion of the P83 billion
came from businessmen and professionals like doctors, lawyers, accountants
and architects,among others.

11. Adopt a scholar or adopt a poor child. -- You can make a difference in
the future of our country by making a difference in the world of children.

12. Be a good parent. Teach your kids to follow the law and to love our
country. -- Today's children will someday rule and lead this world. But
whether they will be bad rulers or good leaders will depend largely on how
we raise them today. Our future is in the hearts and minds of our children

-ok, let us do the math.

change the people = 100 yrs

change of the people from the old to mange the new system + change of system = 100 yrs + X

- maayo pa dili na lang ta mag change the system, change from within dapat.

You forgot something...

Change the System = 1 yr (MAX)

And no for close-mindedness...it's like telling yourself.. "Mamatay r man ghapon ko, nganong mukaon pa mn ko?"... it's dumb.

- naa man sa formula ang change the system bro.... peace

- change the system w/in a yr? unsa ang pinas, barangay? do you think, one year lang ang timeframe?

[masakiton]

Naningkamot bitaw, pero dha sa imong pag-paningkamot kay apil baya ang tax. So,
kung naa tax...naa goverment...
Kung naa goverment...naay mga poject...
Kung naa project...naa development...
Kung naay development...naay poy kalambu-an...

Unya na unsa naman ni ron...
Kung naa tax... naa goverment...
Kung naay goverment...naay poy corruption
Kung naay corruption...walay maayong project
Kung walay maayong project...walay maayong development...
Kung walay maayong development...walay kalambuan...


Mao ning usahay, mga momo ta sa dalan kay lawom na kaayo... sama sa kalawom sa sakit ug problema sa Pilipinas.

"Kung naay corruption...walay maayong project" <= ma wala kaha ni
unsa man kasigaradohan nga dili gihapon korakoton ang kwarta para sa projects?

kung ipa lusot lang diay tong freedom of information bill aron transaprent ang transactions?

This is OT. Singapore is a small piece of lot. You can basically track every bit of development within it. They don't need to change the type of government because of its SMALL LAND AREA.

The Philippines, on the other hand, is composed of 7,107 Islands. It basically is sprawling, hence the slow development... You can't have everything centralized in a Country with 7,107 Islands. You need to localize its growth and development.

And yes, the CAPITAL is more developed than everything else in the country (Cebu or Davao is not even half its development)...I'm Cebuano btw... but this concentrated growth and development sickens me.

Why do you think majority of province folks still flock at the CAPITAL?

mao na.. maski small piece of lot lang sila pero napa transform nila from 3rd world to 1st world
wala pa jud sila natural resources
kung dili pa maayo ila leaders?? ma ingon ana kaha na sila?

- maayo pa dili na lang ta mag change the system, change from within dapat.

I think dili ingun-ana ka complicated ang pag-change ug form of goverment. Mas complicado kung ang for development budget mo agi pa sa kauluhan (unsay gamit nganong maagi pa, kay kuhaan) unya kulangan na ang gibalik.

I think changes is not the hindrance sa atong kalambuan.

[masakiton]

Singapore has a very efficient government system plus a very efficient leader running the country. The system and the people runs it, works hand in hand. You mean, we need to change the people? It will take hundreds of years.

a good leader can make a good system
