Sandali...


Alam mo yun lahat ng tao gumagalaw, may tumatakbo at sumisigaw "intayin mo ako!"-- may mga ayaw maiwan. May mga taong napakabagal, maiiwan nga ba ng takbo? may mga mahuhuli. may mga tinitingalang nauuna. may mga nadadapa. may umiiyak at humihingi ng tulong at may mga tahimik na tumatayo at nagpapatuloy. Lahat ng tao gumagalaw.

Pero nasan ako? Minsan na akong nagkamali. Gusto kong makarating sa dulo, para matapos na ang lahat. Gusto kong makahinga ng malalim at lasapinang hangin pag-dating dun. Pabilisin ang oras at isigaw "Tama na!"

Per nasan ako? Minsan na din akong nadapa. Sa tindi ng hangarin nadulas, bumagsak... ang sakit. may gasgas, sugat at pasa. Aray! Tumayo at tinawanan ang sarili, binulong pa sa isip "kaya ko pa! alam kong marami nang nadapa at tumayo ulit.. kaya ko!"

Pero nasan ako? Minsan na akong tumigil sa pagtuloy ng paglalakbay para magtanong "nasan ako?" "nandito nga ba ako?". Sumagi pa nga sa isip ko "Hindi ba mapapansin kung bigla akong mawala, may magtatanong ba kung nasan ako? May titigil ba kung matatanaw niyang wala ako? Ewan. Cguro wala. Sabay sabing "Sino nga ba ako?" "Ikaw kilala mo ako?" "Ang kapal mo 'tol" "wag kang magdrama" "wag kang babalik, baka maiwan ka.."

Pero nasan ako? Hihilingin ko parin bang bumilis ang takbo ng mga kamay ng relo para matapos na... matapos ng walang patutunguhan at napag aralan. Sandali wag muna. Gugustuhin ko bang madapa, masugatan, masaktan, marinig pati ang pinakamaliit na pagsabi ng "inutil" at pinakamalakas na bulong na sigaw ng bawat taong dadaan at titingin lang. Sandali, wag muna alam ko kaya ko. Kailangan bang tumigil para magtanong kung walang kikilala at makakakilala sa akin, ako, sa buhay ko, sa pagkatao ko. Sandali wag muna. Alam ko kung sino ako.

Pero nasan ako? Heto nakaupo, dinarama ang malamig na hanging dumadampi sa mukha galing sa labas ng bintana. Naririnig ko ang bawat kalabog ng paa, gulong ng dadaan na sasakyan, busina, pagsara ng pinto, pagtunog ng plato, paglipat ng pahima ng libro, pag andar ng kamay ng relo, pagpatak ng ulansa labas, tahimik. Nakaupo, tinatanog ang sarili, Nasan ako? Buntong hininga sabay sabing may pupuntahan ako, may pangarap ako.

Teka, sobrang nakakabinging katahimikan na bumabalot sa isip at puso ko sa maingay na sigaw ng mundo. Wag muna, sandali, may pupuntahan ako, may pangarap ako.

senators on issues (polsci)

1.­) What pressing social, political, economic issues would you focus on the senate?
a. social issues­- As a senator, I would like to improve on the strengthening the rights of an individual in every status of life, lessen/ minimize the discrimination factors from the classification on social classes. Empower more on the foundation of the society which is the family—give more family oriented programs and works for them so that they can establish their lives more organize and to strictly do something about the family planning and its implementation.

b. Political Issues- I like to focus on the political dynasties, very strict implementations of laws even to the makers of the law and the implementers of the law

c. Economic Issues- Focus more on the economic stability—programs that will do something that will comparatively contribute to the stability of the peso- dollar rate, stability of the GNP. Focus on the good relationship on local and foreign investors. Most important focus on empowering the small scale business entrepreneur.

2.) What bills are you going to prioritize as a senator?
As a senator, I want to focus mere on the health, to pass a bill about the standardization of the medicine and the medical products, so that the consumers may have a great deal and lessen the problems on medicine overpricing. Another is the bill about the strict implementation of the medical background of the medical personnel so that the people will somewhat be assured of their health. Another is to add more program and bills for the implement and upgrading of the medical field, the Medicare program in particular.

3.) How do you intend to use the pork barrel?
The country wide development fund (CDF) or the so called Priority Development Assistance fund ( PDAF) as a senator I’ll be given about P200 million. I’ll spend for the health care, indigent patients, at public hospitals and do something about the problem of lack of medicines, equipment and facilities. A more budget for the funds used for the health of indigent people. A scholarship program on the carrier threat--- professionals—the doctors, nurses, educators ect. Train them very well, this program is for the lower class for them to use their abilityto showcase more and enhance the the capacities and capabilities. Another portion is savings in case in case of calamities or any other case of emnergency. I will use the pork barrel money in distributing additional funds for this and empowering the other parts of the government especially the local.
Bills and implementing about the following:
The Philippine Economy. We need to attract investments through incentives and better value-creation for companies investing in the Philippines.
Without a substantial increase in foreign investments in our country, we will not be able to generate jobs for our countrymen.
We need to give incentives to Filipinos who are returning home to invest and set up businesses in the Philippines. We need to give incentives to the SMEs for starting up enterprises and creating jobs for workers.
Healthcare. Every Filipino’s health is important. We need to take a look at how we can lower healthcare costs and make healthcare services more affordable to the masses. We need to address family planning other health-related issues in the country.
Education. It’s time that we introduce measures to increase the quality of education in the Philippines. Also, we need to ensure that every Filipino child is not deprived of the right to education. The children are the future of our nation and I strongly believe we must invest in education more than we do for the other areas of our society.
Governance and Unity. We must stand as a nation and be proud of our homeland. However, we must work towards a clean, honest, transparent and united government. Graft and corruption among the government ranks must be checked. Accountability by and lifestyle check of every government employee should become an integral part of the Government’s management agenda.
Peace, Order and Harmony. With the threats of terrorism and the unresolved insurgency problem, we need to work towards achieving national peace, order and harmony.


4.) How would you intend to use your power as a senator to check on executive abuses?
As a senator, under the legislative department. I will deeply encourage to be accurate and precise in doing the checks and balances on each and every branch. Have more and organize investigation of the legislation for the executive and appropriate and more realistic and realizable budget for the year.

5.) In your capacity as a senator of the republic how would you secure economic and political stability?
To secure political stability, I will do more in sustaining and acting immediately on the current political and economic issues so that these will have an immediate cure on the issues and problems and these will have no impact on or lesser impact on the bigger political and economic status. To sustain this, there will have an effect on the equilibrium like the dollar-peso exchange rate, the stock market, the GNP rate, the people-people relationship, the people state relationship. These simple ways can make a big impact on the political and the economic stability.
