My Prayer for the Philippines at Christmas and for the New Year…

I’m praying we will find a more forward looking leader who will prepare for the higher risks of disasters and trump it early with innovative initiatives.

– Can we plant more resistant grain to flood and rain?
– Can we have better engineered roads that factor in floods that eat up the sides of highways?
– Will we have nationally developed model houses that for the sake of public necessity will be freely available for immediate public use in preparation for more and stronger typhoons (with the growing possibility of an earthquake hitting the fault line that cuts north to south of the metropolitan capital)?
– Will we have laws that fix the excuses to swift national government response to calamity areas?
– Will we have more employment in local industries, not the over-extended originally stop-gap measures that became long-standing OFW employment destinations or the foreign-consumption call centers that sell foreign items?

Most would be praying for their dreams in 2014. But I think the man at the helm until it ends in 2016 can spend time at Serendra and SM than remedy and follow up solutions to more public-wide needs and issues that strike more ordinary folks. I pray for this man who thinks he should keep lecturing the media while he keeps bungling his job.

I pray the public will keep speaking their minds to find better solutions, because this year showed public officials had solved their future way beyond 2016 with huge public funds lost from funding ghost projects done at their behest. Let the people take more initiative at drafting better laws if the ones that Congress makes suits only the politicians’ interests.

It really appears, that the country needs to teach its leaders lessons on democracy and inclusive development – because politicians tend to foster only their own selfish interests.

And if Napoles comes out to be the buddy of most of these politicians, I hope the people will have the initiative to build for them detention centers whose security will not be breached by the likes of Mr. Leviste.

Yes, Lord, I trust no politician. Because they keep saying they are maka-Diyos, makatao, makabayan and they lie. They are mostly makasarili. Oh, I hope, God, we stop flying the yellow flags. It’s not the Philippine flag after all.
