I’m just an average on-line Filipino citizen. Thirty-something, I grew up to witness EDSA People Power during my younger years, EDSA 2, when I was in my first job, and EDSA 3, 4, as life went by.
I am a history buff, but sad to say, Filipino History is lacking in cultivation and popularity.
I do not possess a degree in political science, instead having a degree in Engineering from the State University. This, I hope, is one way I can pay back the country for my College years (being an Iskolar ng Bayan), and my High School years as well (MPPA). I am not a politician – nor do I want to think of even going into politics in its present form.
I adhere to the dream that one day, with God’s help, we will do it right:
- that one day, the Philippines will be able to stand on its own economic feet
- that Filipinos will be proud of their culture, government, and history
- that poverty will be no more and that the fight to end poverty in the Philippines will be our most cherished accomplishment
And lastly, I believe that the change to a federal form will aid in accomplishing these dreams.

Can you create a faq regarding the difference of a federal parliament type of government and our current government?
I have been thinking of federal government since 2002 and rename the country to the united islands of the philippines. It’s just a opinion though.

I’m just aware and interested about the issue/topic regarding the ammendments of our current Philippine constitution from the republic into FEDERAL parliamentary and i wanted to share my thoughts and aspirations being the ever-faithful citizen of my beloved homeland , my Philippines. For my insights about this, i agree to have our form of government change to Federal Parliament Nation. Why? Because this will help our fellow countrymen in every state to join hands to help our local, regional and national government in our battle for national prosperity and stability thru direct and clear government programs and this might also be the opportunity for our soon to be states to develop and prosper thru their own hardwork and perseverance by setting and creating state laws and different state programs to prove that the certain state can really stand independently and will prosper by the help of their people .
For our local and national leaders, just a piece of advice, for the constitutional ammendments you have to think it first not only 7 times but a million times. why? because, ammending our Philippine Constitution will not only affect one person, but the whole nation as well.
To our leaders, hope you will not only think of your own sake on how to become rich and what to do to acquire the wealth of the people, like the taxes that we were being paid, and from the remittances that you receive from us OFW’s you should not put it on your own pocket, instead put it to the Philippine treasury so that our fellow countrymen will be benefitted.
Our fellow countrymen who are vigilant enough of what’s our leaders are doing, our HEADS UP to you, we SALUTE you for your heartfelt service to ur country. Mabuhay po kayo.
For those who are always opposing to our government, instead of making any non-sense and exasperating critics/ annotations you better help the government for their national programs of stability towards a competitive Philippines. And remember that the government is not only President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo , but we the people, is the government with sovereignty and powers. We, everyone of us has the power to lead our government.
Try to see people in the streets having their rallies, demonstartions aginst the government..inisisting that they are hungry, they have no ffod to eat but they do nothing to feed for themselves.
THe government is there to help and assist us, but we should also act. We will also help ourselves, find means and ways for us to survive and not just by sitting pretty and blaming Gloria Macapagal Arroyo why they are still very poor, as poor as the mice.
Remember, “Heaven never helps if you will not act”.
Mabuhay ka Pinas!!!!
