This is about what YOU, as the PRESIDENT, suggest to be done about government, systems and policies. The most acceptable suggestions will be placed in the top 10 reserved pages/comments
(Updated 20180407)
- - - Updated - - -
Form of government: Status Quo (as it is); unless proponents of change have a convincing proposal; federalism is not an answer to corruption nor allocation of development funds; proper administration and audit is the likely solution
-Transparency - Publication of the attendance, votes and achievements of congressmen/women and senators for nationwide information
-Taxation
--strict and proper collection/refund
--provisions to ensure that a minimum wage earner can support a family of three
-Elimination of Political Dynasties - Outlaw the candidacy of 1st/2nd degree relatives for successive government positions up to 3 levels lower (governor, vice-governor, board member; mayor and vice-mayor)
-Breakdown of Monopolies/Cartels - allow the entry of new local/foreign players who can provide guaranteed permanent better service at 10% less cost; China may be a willing investor but is it the best available technology?
-Foreign business equity shall never be equal or greater than 50%
--Citizens acting as dummies shall be prosecuted
---Involved companies shall be penalized
-Protection of Sovereignty - Allow only joint research on declared sovereign areas; if China illegally built a structure on Philippine jurisdiction without any permission and without intent to share the benefits, why not allow the US to build a similar structure beside it in a joint benefit sharing?

-Panatang Makabayan - restore the original version in the education system
Penal System
-No death penalty but convicts will be required to do hard physical labor for food quality upgrade privileges
-Food provision - should be revised to make convicted criminals realize the hard prison life (work for better food) instead of the usual free board and lodging idea
