Speak Out: If I were President...

If I were president of the Philippines, I will do the following for the good of the country:

1. Make family planning compulsory for all spouses, with emphasis on those living in squatter areas and those along the beach.

2. Limit the number of holidays to only three, namely: New Year’s Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day. At present, we have so many holidays and non-working days, such as Sundays, fiestas, birthdays, anniversaries, lunch breaks and coffee breaks.

3. All forms of gambling should be held on Sundays only. At present, gambling like jueteng, lotto, sweepstakes, mahjong, tong-its, hantak, chikicha, tigbakay, piyat-piyat, video carera, jai-alai, bingo are conducted almost daily. This practice is destructive to the national economy.

4. Elected officials must not be appointed to cabinet positions. This practice deprives the constituents of their representative in Congress. Besides, the practice is very expensive because a special election will have to be conducted to replace the one who is now a Cabinet member.

5. Abolish sectoral representatives in Congress. Their presence is unnecessary, uncalled for, and a waste of public funds. Besides, they are considered second-class citizens in the Halls of Congress.

6. Elected officials must serve for only one term. Let us give a chance to others who are also qualified.

7. Let the government pay for the election expenses of all candidates. By so doing, a poor candidate will have the chance of getting elected. At present, only the rich gets elected.

8. No government official shall receive a salary higher than that of the president. At present, there are officials of government corporations receiving salary very much higher than that of the President of the Philippines.

9. Prohibit the display of pictures and names of public officials in public places like: comfort rooms, airports, bridges, ambulances, garbage trucks, garbage bins, fire trucks, police vehicles, vans, flyovers, skywalks, artesian wells and trees.

10. Organize vigilante groups in all cities, municipalities and barangays to go after hoodlums-in-robes, grafters, drug lords, drug pushers, ex-convicts, snatchers, pickpockets, robbers, swindlers, illegal recruiters, illegal loggers, dynamite fishers, smugglers and professional squatters.


Could you believe this fella? This is a perfect example of morally right but politically incorrect. In short, all heart but no brains. If one is politically incorrect then trust me, you won't last 6 months in Malacanang.

After all, this is all there is to it; IF HE WAS PRESIDENT...

[tolstoi]

I will make it illegal to own a land.

Land should be taken over by the government.

Condo Units are payable up to 30 years, salary deduction.

I will make 700 pesos as minimum wage.

Build more roads

I will let Mindanao free from Philippines so they can make their own country

I'll make our money a Philippine Dollar instead of Philippines Peso

Death Penalty for corrupt people- right away

I AGREE WITH THIS:

1. Make family planning compulsory for all spouses, with emphasis on those living in squatter areas and those along the beach.

4. Elected officials must not be appointed to cabinet positions. This practice deprives the constituents of their representative in Congress. Besides, the practice is very expensive because a special election will have to be conducted to replace the one who is now a Cabinet member.

5. Abolish sectoral representatives in Congress. Their presence is unnecessary, uncalled for, and a waste of public funds. Besides, they are considered second-class citizens in the Halls of Congress.

8. No government official shall receive a salary higher than that of the president. At present, there are officials of government corporations receiving salary very much higher than that of the President of the Philippines.

10. Organize vigilante groups in all cities, municipalities and barangays to go after hoodlums-in-robes, grafters, drug lords, drug pushers, ex-convicts, snatchers, pickpockets, robbers, swindlers, illegal recruiters, illegal loggers, dynamite fishers, smugglers and professional squatters.

I DONNOT AGREE WITH:

2. Limit the number of holidays to only three, namely: New Year’s Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day. At present, we have so many holidays and non-working days, such as Sundays, fiestas, birthdays, anniversaries, lunch breaks and coffee breaks. oHHH COME OONNNNN AS IF YOU DO NOT LIKE HOLIDAYS!!!

3. All forms of gambling should be held on Sundays only. At present, gambling like jueteng, lotto, sweepstakes, mahjong, tong-its, hantak, chikicha, tigbakay, piyat-piyat, video carera, jai-alai, bingo are conducted almost daily. This practice is destructive to the national economy.THIS SHOULD BE LEGALIZED

6. Elected officials must serve for only one term. Let us give a chance to others who are also qualified.IF A PERSON IS DOING GOOD AND PPL WANTS HIM TO STAY LET HIM STAY!!

7. Let the government pay for the election expenses of all candidates. By so doing, a poor candidate will have the chance of getting elected. At present, only the rich gets elected.I TELL YOU NOT ALL RICH POLITICIAN USE THEIR MONEY. MOST OF IT ARE PAYED BY THEIR SUPPORTERS LIKE BUSINESSMEN ETC.. .

9. Prohibit the display of pictures and names of public officials in public places like: comfort rooms, airports, bridges, ambulances, garbage trucks, garbage bins, fire trucks, police vehicles, vans, flyovers, skywalks, artesian wells and trees.I DONT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS.

...the beach?

2. Limit the number of holidays to only three, namely: New Year’s Day, Independence Day, and Christmas Day. At present, we have so many holidays and non-working days, such as Sundays, fiestas, birthdays, anniversaries, lunch breaks and coffee breaks.
...holidays and non-working days such as... lunch breaks and coffee breaks?

3. All forms of gambling should be held on Sundays only. At present, gambling like jueteng, lotto, sweepstakes, mahjong, tong-its, hantak, chikicha, tigbakay, piyat-piyat, video carera, jai-alai, bingo are conducted almost daily. This practice is destructive to the national economy.
In some other places, gambling and economy are almost synonymous.

6. Elected officials must serve for only one term. Let us give a chance to others who are also qualified.
Qualifications do not assure a job well done. Re-election of officials allows the citizens to have the continuity of a good serving official.

7. Let the government pay for the election expenses of all candidates. By so doing, a poor candidate will have the chance of getting elected. At present, only the rich gets elected.
Do we have a limit of candidates?

9. Prohibit the display of pictures and names of public officials in public places like: comfort rooms, airports, bridges, ambulances, garbage trucks, garbage bins, fire trucks, police vehicles, vans, flyovers, skywalks, artesian wells and trees.
I WOULD AGREE!

10. Organize vigilante groups in all cities, municipalities and barangays to go after hoodlums-in-robes, grafters, drug lords, drug pushers, ex-convicts, snatchers, pickpockets, robbers, swindlers, illegal recruiters, illegal loggers, dynamite fishers, smugglers and professional squatters.
If vigilantes are above the law, no way.
