The change we need. Who should change? People or Government?

It's been a question that has been asked for 25 years! Yes, indeed! 25 years of the rule of the oligarchs and the capitalists in this country. Ever since the Cory Magic and the People Power propaganda came to life, many people have in fact become jobless, and hunger is a rampant issue in our society.

Jobless. Hunger. Some issues that probably were resolved only if the government's thinking.

Now here's one question. How can we expect change from people if:

- They're deprived financially
- If people are too busy talking about showbiz, politics from the media
- And hungry coz they have nothing to eat!

Here's a simple analogy

If you have no job, of course you get no money
If you got no money, you can't afford buying food
And if you don't have the money to buy food, you'll starve

Whatcha gonna expect to a person who's hungry? CHANGE?! Are you nuts? Or are you hungry as well?

But given a chance people would be disciplined

They will abide the law, and won't throw trash anywhere.

Now what? Was there an eradication of hunger when people abided the law? Did
job opportunities popped up nowhere when people learned how to throw trash?

Now after we talked about people. Let's talk about the government!

Government guys have:
- salaries
- benefits
- bonuses

Yes money = No hunger

Anywhere in the world, it's the job of the government to provide job opportunities for its people.

Parliament System

Some examples of countries wherein there is a parliament system are:

Australia, Canada, Japan, Singapore, United Kingdom

These countries are the same countries where 1.3 million OFW's* went to, coz of a lot of job opportunities.

Let's go for some facts. 2.9 million Filipinos* to date, are UNEMPLOYED. Now what's the reason why the government can't provide jobs for this number of people?

6.8 MILLION* filipinos are underemployed
*Credits to NSO

Why is it that a lot of Filipinos have no jobs?

HERE'S A SIMPLE ANSWER

The 1987 Constitution!

I'm afraid, there are a lot of foreign investors who don't wanna do business in our country. According to the 1987 CORY constitution

ONLY 40% OWNERSHIP IS ALLOWED FOR FOREIGN INVESTORS.
AN AIDE MEMOIRE ON INVESTMENTS IN THE PHILIPPINES - CHAN ROBLES & ASSOCIATES LAW FIRM

Foreigners can only own 40% of an educational institution.
Foreigners can only own 40% of a business.
Foreigners can only own 30% of an advertising company.
Foreigners cannot own media.
Foreigners cannot practice professions.

Among the rest of the countries in Asia, only the Philippines has this kind of constitution! See? ONLI IN DA PILIPINS!

Don't wonder why the Philippines lacks job opportunities!

NO FOREIGN INVESTORS = NO JOBS = NO MONEY = NO PROGRESS

The only thing there is?

MONOPOLY OF RICH FAMILIES, HEGEMONY OF THE MASS MEDIA, MEDIOCRE LIFE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS, ETERNAL SUFFERING OF THE POOR

And that's for 25 years, still counting!

Now who needs change? People or government? It's the government!

Don't you ask me what I've done to this country! I paid taxes, but where are my taxes and your taxes going? To the croc politicians!

We need to change the Cory Constitution! The 1987 Constitution!

Now on the brighter side, who says the Parliamentary system of Government is good?

Ramos, Arroyo, Singaporeans, Canadians, Japanese, Australians, Norwegians, British do

Change the Presidential System and Let's Go for a parliamentary form of government!

Amend the 1987 Cory Constitution. The Centrally Oligarchic Restrictive Yellow Constitution.

we all have to change for the better if we want this country to succeed

[mark_012590]

Obviously, Cory Aquino was the root of the economic downfall of our country. The TS has a point. The foreign investors should aquire full aquisition of the ownership of their business. Otherwise, progress will be too blurry for a country that has been KO'ed coz of poverty

there is no need for change..the country is hopeless.. never mind nationalism, never mind patriotism, never mind the government.

Just look out for you, your family and your environment zone. Your safety is your responsibility. You own your future. Live at your own time and motion, take each day as it comes..just let things be.

Work on those that you have direct control of. Forget that there is supposed to be the government who watches over your welfare because they dont serve their purpose anyway. Theyre just a bunch of hungry crocodiles.

At the end of the day...what counts to you really are the hows and whats of those that are in your grip.

It is what it is.. change maybe was but is no longer an option.
