Ihalal ang Kontra Trapo sa Senado. P-S-B! Paredes, Sison, Bautista.

Sunday afternoon
At home in Pasig City
Philippines

To my beloved countrymen,

Our country and people are besieged by:
a.) Environmental and social issues like the:

• global warming,
• waterways pollution,
• youth and drugs problem, and
• education woes and student welfare;

b.) Peace, Order and National Security:

• Local and Global Terrorism;
• Dissidents/Military Abuses and Human Rights Violations.

c.) Economic Issues:

• Unemployment/Underemployment;
• Brain Drain and Filipino Migrant Workers’ Plights;
• Government and Business Corruption.

By and large, the answer or solution to our woes as a country and people is:
a.) Good Leadership – a God-fearing, principled, selfless, resolute, and no-nonsense leadership!
b.) A Servant-leader who is dedicated to:

• work for the common good of every Filipino regardless of religion and social and economic status in life

• make politics an effective means for the integral development or total well-being of all rather than a tool for the advancement of a privileged few

• make every Filipino a vehicle for social and political transformation;
• translate into reality a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Woefully, at present, we are unfortunate to have and contend with political leaders who unashamedly and relentlessly indulge in their own brand of politics which is synonymous with:
a.) Celebrity, entertainment, or circus;
b.) Pork barrel;
c.) Political family dynasty;
d.) Patronage;
e.) Pay-off;
f.) Deception;
g.) Abuse;
h.) Hypocrisy;
i.) Dishonesty;
j.) Cheating;
k.) Immoral compromises; &
l.) Guns, goons, & gold (in 100s of million pesos, or billions)

They are the obiquitous, age-old, antiquated and abhorred traditional politicians, or, the TRAPOS!!! – whose only “achievement” is the brazen corruption of all that is good in government of which the inevitable pathetic consequence, of course, is the utter destruction and impoverishment of our beloved country and people.

All these, the TRAPOS, committed, in the name of “public service” and the high positions they occupy, in order to enrich themselves, their families, and their private or family businesses and interests, at the expense of and wanton disregard of the Filipino people who are:
a.) Poor, very poor;
b.) Downtrodden;
c.) Marginalized;
d.) Suffering;
e.) Abused;
f.) Violated;
g.) Neglected;
h.) Discriminated;
i.) Jobless;
j.) Hungry;
k.) Homeless;
l.) Sick
m.) Dying;
n.) Jailed; and
o.) Killed.

The foregoing considered, are we still surprised if the Philippines, once second only to Japan in economy in the 50s and 60s, have deteriorated to become now one of the poorest and the most corrupt in Asia?

Our motherland remains to this day as one of the richest country in natural resources; and our people, one of the most intelligent and talented peoples in the world!

We have come this low, very, very low because of our bad and soul-less leaders that we, yes we, have elected, time and again, and have perpetuated, allowed and tolerated to do what they did or did not do, and continue to do what they did and what they did not do..

These TRAPOS are the cancer cells or cancerous parts in our society! Shall we not extinguish them? Shall we not amputate them! Shall we not save the life, or what is left of it, of our motherland, the Philippines – our Inang Bayan nating mahal?

We must, and we shall! Not later, but now! Time is of the essence! It is crucial!

Therefore, during the coming elections, on May 14, 2007, let us BOOT out these TRAPOS!

Instead, let us all together VOTE for the SINCERE, HONEST, FEW GOOD MEN of Ang Kapatiran Party:

a.) Atty. JESS PAREDES,
b.) Atty. ADRIAN SISON, and,
c.) Dr. MARTIN BAUTISTA..

P-S-B, for, PAREDES, SISON, BAUTISTA!

PAREDES, SISON, BAUTISTA, with GOD AND all of us behind them in support, shall provide the first few steps in the journey of a thousand miles towards a God-favored, harmonious, healthy, peaceful, joyful, prosperous, vibrant, and honorable country and people!

Such is the country and people we want! Such is the country and people we see! Such is the country and people it shall be!

Together, on May 14, 2007, we can all make it happen!

May God’s favor and blessings be with us all in this our greatest and proudest endeavor ! ! !

I remain,

Humbly yours,
