Ito ay isang panawagan sa lahat ng Filipino na nagnanais ng mabuting kinabukasan para sa susunod na henerasyon.
Even if we all disagree in most issues, this is one issue where we have to unite in full force. Opposing this House Resolution No. 1109 is not only a manifestation of our nationalism but of our own survival.
Arroyo’s “Palaka” (Partido ng Lakas at Kampi) wants to stay in power forever via the Con Ass (ASS****).

"Napakasarap patayin ang mga congressman! Akala nila g*go tayong lahat" blurted in exasperation the secretary of Bro.Mike Velarde...She expressed with vehemence the sentiments of many Filipinos upon learning that the House of Representatives have approved House Resolution 1109 calling for a constituent assembly without the participation of the Senate.. The indignation is well deserved, and we should not mince words in making the representatives who voted for the resolution know what they have done.

The Catholic Church Vi's-a-Vi's the State
Mga Kababayan:
Democracy is a mockery under the present administration and the worst graft and corruption in history continues, the country sinks deeper in debt while everyone especially the small hard-working middle class and the vast majority of poor peopledo not have jobs, starve and die due to unaffordable medical care.
The Catholic Church has been silent too long and hesitant to get involved in the so-called affairs of the government. Separation of church and state is a non-issue..
Vi's-a-Vi's also means counterpart.
In the Old Testament, the Lord chose to give the Ten Commandments to Moses who became both the state and church leader and delivered the people out of slavery.
In the New Testament, Jesus Himself showed just anger and drove the tax collectors out of the temple.
In modern times, the late Pope John Paul II told his countrymen "Be not afraid" to get rid of their own Polish Communist leaders and they succeeded.
In Pampanga, Among Ed Panlilio did not ask to become governor. He answered the call of the Lord so that ang mga Kapampangan do not have to choose between the lesser two evils. His archbishop gave his blessing and allowed him to run and the people elected him to power.
There should be no reason now not to support him to continue in politicsso he can act in creating a "just society" to benefit all Pinoys.
Yes, today, now is the time to re-empower the people and elect honest qualified candidates.. ..
There are good men and women as evidenced by Kaya Natin candidates. We must act, each and everyone, the executives, the employees, students, the farmers, the fishermen, the vendors, ang mga hahirap, the overseas foreign workers teachers, Catholics and non-catholics. Each one of us has to do his part and we will win. Huwag matakot, Kaya Natin !

Let us not wait for 2010. Let us begin today..The title of my idea is "Cong, Bakit ka nagHudas sa Bayan?"
The first step is ostracism. Atake sa hiya!Demonstrations need not be large. Three people picketing the front of the residence of each of these rascal congressmen can be a start. Placards must not be derogatory, no insults please. But it should carry only one message.A simple message like "Cong, Bakit ka nagHudas sa Bayan?" is best. The pickets need not even be daily. The crowd can come back growing weekly. And if the front of the residence is not possible, the immediate entrance to his subdivision may even be better. this should be timed when he is going in and out of his home.When you see him in public, shout "Cong, Bakit ka nagHudas sa Bayan?" Don't even touch him and even if the temptation is great, never spit on his face or throw a big rock at his direction or car. Never violence. Just "Cong, Bakit ka nagHudas sa Bayan?"When he has a public engagement like a speechor a ribbon cutting, a single placard saying "Cong, Bakit ka nagHudas sa Bayan?" will paint a thousand pictures. The same is true with his family members. have the placard ready when his wife or her husband goes shopping "Mrs., Bakit nagHudas si Kong sa Bayan?" Go to where his children go to school, and adapt the placard accordingly "Bakit nagHudas ang Tatay nyo sa Bayan?"When the movement steamrolls, have a candlelight vigil in front of the parish church. this time getting more numbers. "Ipagdasal ang mga Hudas sa Bayan".The second step is ensuring the media becomes part of the initiative. make friends with the local radio station. They have the widest reach. and in key cities, send advisories of the big events to the local ABSCBN or GMA7 news people.Always assign someone to rehearse talking points so that when media appears, throw him immediately in front of the reporters.The next steps will be demanded by exigencies as they develop. The idea is snowball the momentum. The numbers are secondary if consistency is achieved. Even one placard bearer can make a difference if he does it in a strategic place on a strategic time. But never engage in violence or violating the law. This must be a peaceful effort. For us overseas workers, let us send this message to our relatives in the Philippines. Every citizen can start this, and imagine if this can be done, in big or small gatherings, all over the more than congressional 200 districts all over the country. This is people power at its best. By the time may 2010 comes, if this pushes through, serious opposition and disdain against traitorous incumbents should have gathered momentum. Let our people show their indignation through this "antiHudas" citizen army of simple and ordinary people showing their angst by asking a simple question. That is the power of constituency. This is democracy at its best.It is only through a nationwide indignation, localized, that these rascals can be thrown out.Hindi makukuha sa email lang ito. It must penetrate to the grassroots, to the barangays.So mang ramon, mang cesar, mang toto, aling emma, aling mila, aling anita, mang ram, mr. dick, among ed, mang louis, aling sylvia, mang eric, mang perry, mang nonoy, mang bobby, maski si mang P3, etc., game na ba kayo?*******************************************************************

Re: THROW THE RASCALS OUT
There is a more positive and productive way(for our Democracy) of throwing out these rascals in shame NOW!!! We can very well dodge or parry their Chacha via Senate-less ConAss by providing an alternative called ChaCorr(Charter Corrections) via People's Initiative and Referendum so our people shall have the opportunity to exercise their inherent Freedom of Choice. In this strategy we translate the crisis they are creating into an opportunity for change via ChaCorr. In other words, their Chacha via Senate-less ConAss becomes "blessings in disguise" for our Democracy.
The attachment herewith briefly orients you about the concrete strategy for the said ALTERNATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL CORRECTIONS FOR CHARACTER CHANGE (ACC4CC) or PROJECT: AGAK, for short.

Kaya Natin! Statement on HR 1109
We, the leaders of Kaya Natin!A National Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership wish to express our strong condemnation of House Resolution 1109 which will allow the House of Representatives to convene itself into a Constituent Assembly. We believe that this is a blatant attempt by the present administration and its allies to perpetuate itself in power beyond 2010. Moreover, we believe that this goes against what majority of Filipinos want as seen by recent survey results that show majority of Filipinos are not amenable to any form of Charter Change before the 2010 National Elections. This will only continue to sow disunity among Filipinos in our already fragmented society. Instead of focusing on amending the present Constitution, we believe that our lawmakers should go beyond their personal interests and give priority to ensuring the passage of policies and laws that would help improve the quality of life of majority of Filipinos such as the Extension and Reform of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARPER). Finally, we appeal to all our lawmakers to live out what it truly means to be duly-elected representatives of their constituents by supporting and voting for what are the true sentiments and beliefs of their constituency.

My Friends and Fellow Patriots --Greetings! Indeed, this is a tragic moment in the history of our beloved birth-country, the Philippines. The rush-to-judgment decision by the Lower House of the Philippine Congress -- at the exclusion of the Upper House -- in hastily approving the Constitutional Assembly legislation evokes a damning travesty on the rule of law and the fundamentals of good government. It smacks of the unmitigated arrogance of power of pseudo-leaders who are supposed to harness their moral responsibility, ethical rectitude and political will to take the high road of statesmanship on behalf of the Filipino nation.Unfortunately, this drastic move by the Lower House only goes to show that the current administration and its cohorts blatantly symbolize an utmost disregard for advancing the Filipino nation's common good and our people's general welfare. That it was done under the cloak of darkness further proves that the administration' s duplicitous leadership will not stop at anything until they get their way -- at the expense of the fundamental mandate of Democracy as a responsible and honest "government in the sunshine." Lastly -- genuine Democracy has succumbed to the insidious manueverings of arrogant politicians imbued with the malicious intent of feigning the rule of law by resorting to the tyranny of the majority at the expense of simple justice, basic fairness and common sense. As a result, Philippine Democracy has been forcefully dragged into the throes of its predictable demise. Indeed -- "government of the people, by the people and of the people" has just been dealt its death knell.The fact of the matter is Democracy usually dies under the cloak of darkness -- just as HR 1109 ConAss legislation came to be shaped and formed by political thieves in the middle of the night via the unconscionable decision and warped judgment of those entrusted with the sacrosanct duty to serve the people with honesty, integrity and responsibility. Not too far removed from this damning episode in the history of Philippine Democracy will be the emerging anger and predictable disgust of the sovereign Filipino people at whose expense the Malacanang leadership and its minions in the Lower House maliciously perpetrated its traitorous travesty by launching a virtual coup d'etat against Democracy..This cruel tragedy has once again mocked the fundamentals of responsible government .And with it -- the sovereignty of the Filipino has been cruelly silenced. With this act cleverly orchestrated by the current leadership under the hypocritical rule of the majority that has long lost its moral ascendancy -- we cannot help but mourn the demise of Philippine Democracy! God help us!
