    Default Erap or GMA:who achieved more towards uplifting the life of the average Filipino


    Per the suggestion of riko_diko to start a thread examining the achievements of former Pres. Joseph Estrada and Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

    I'd like to take riko_diko up on his statement that Erap did more than GMA--despite his term being cut short by, allegedly, powergrabbers.

    But anyone may start.

    By supporting the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, she has helped a lot of farmers. She even donated a parcel of her own inheritance in Iligan City. She even convince her husband to donate portions of his land at Negros Occidental.

    During GMA's administration, we were twice given the opportunity to head the United Nation Security Council. The Philippines would again take center stage next month when it assumes the presidency of the Security Council and possibly chairs a summit of the leaders of the 15-member states that make up the most powerful organ of the UN. http://www.philstar.com/philstar/NEWS200508040414.htm

    To head UN Council would mean more edge at the International Community. More recognition for the Philippines would mean making the country more attractive business destination and of course getting bilateral and tripartite agreements would be an easy process because of other foreign government's confidence over the Philippines.

    Giving more financial and technical support for the Small and Medium Enterprise resulted to more companies to expand their business. Consequently, wider job opportunities for unemployed pinoys. While, allocating more funds for livelihood projects like SEA-K, gives poor individuals having no or low educational background hope to have a stable source of livelihood. Having access to loans with no interest, prevents them to seek the help of loan sharks (bumbay's 5-6) which only burries them to the ground. Lalo lang po silang naghihirap. Teaching these less fortunate pinoys how to fish (how to earn a living) will help them even more.

    Base on 2001-2003 records, from the 4 million unemployed filipinos GMA inherited from erap's administration, GMA did a very good job. 3 million jobs were generated, so obviously she has created 1 million jobs annualy from that period. From agriculture and fisheries alone, almost 800,000 jobs were generated due to her efforts of improving the lives of farmers and fishermen as well as their families. I recall reading a lot of news articles about her programs years ago. These people were given the opportunity to try an alternative means of livelihood. They were given trainings and access to non-collateral loans for livelihood programs. Also, they were advised to attend seminars about marketing their products for them to earn more.

    Copra became in demand resulting to higher price and for more coconut farmers to take advantage of. This was made possible by supporting and promoting coco biodiesel. Remember, the government aims to reduce our oil dependence?

    During those first 2 years, GMA ordered the release of (roughly) P300 million for microlending. Former Plain Housewives were given an opportunity to help their husbands by availing non-collateral loans from DSWD's SEA-K.

    When GMA took over right after erap's ouster from the presidency, GMA didn’t waste time. Despite, the criticisms of her political opponents, she remained focused with her duties and mission. She even took the risk of being criticized when she declared not to run in the upcoming presidential race. It was a clever move indeed and it did resulted positively. Suddenly, the opposition stopped hindering the president's projects. Result: many filipinos benefited, more baranggays were given potable water, dark far-flung areas were given light from the baranggay electrification projects while roll on roll off benefited our local traders because it’s way cheaper.

    If not for some bias newspaper especially tabloids and some radio newsmen, I bet even those without television can be aware of GMA's accomplishments. Or if we can only be more open to the possibility of GMA's sincerity to uplift the lives of the poorest of the poor, we might be able to learn more of her initiatives. I bet only a handful or maybe none here knows about the increase on cocofarmers' insurance that GMA instructed years ago. Am I right? FYI, more than a million farmers who benefited, from the original P5,000, she made it P10,000. Besides this effort, she also pushed on creating a Coconut Farmers Food Access Program, from which 229,503 (cocofarmers') families benefited from having access to cheaper basic goods.

    what say i?

    all these false alleluias are nothing but a vain attempt at painting a rosy picture of the country's deplorable condition under the present grip of the powergrabber at malacanang.

    life today under gma's rule better off than that in erap's time? hogwash.

    STOP that crap.
