Letter To The Editor

No less than the President himself has declared the lack of information on Federalism that he has proposed to revise and supplant the Unitary Republic to eliminate excessive use of powers concentrated in the national government rooting corruption, criminality and heinous drug.

What matters now is full dissemination   of intellectual knowledge on indispensable formation of two or more States into entirely new Federal Union to supplant  the Republic as to whether or not such constitutional revision shall be positive change fulfilling aspirations of the Nation?

In the absence of any government and private effort to rightfully distinguish facts of Federalism to reconcile with the issue of its validity as positive change,  the Journalist presides over Mass Media as the Court of Last Appeal

Constitutional Revision is the exercise of inherent right to self-determination. Whether or not old house of the Republic  is so corrupted and rotten necessitating indispensable revision into new house of Federal Union of two more States to eliminate the excessive use of power concentrated in national government that is proximate cause of evil  and wrong.

The proposal submitted by Constitutional Consultative Commission to the Congress does not positively show how Government shall proceed from Zero Current Account, Internal Debt of 105,498 million dollars  and External Debt reduced by present administration from 77.3 billion dollars  to 72.5 billion dollars.

From 1946 to 2016, government had commenced operations on zero current account and annual budget deficit constrained to borrowing from time to time.

Where RP Gross Revenue is less than 1 against Liability of 72.5 Liability with no Net Revenue, pronouncements by local and international rating entities of so-called well managed RP economy is false news invalidly justifying foreign loans to RP, No. 51 among 198 borrowers after Russia, No. 21, China. No. 15 and US No. 1.

Debt, worst poverty forfeiting economic freedom, is the foremost constraint against any positive change.

Our book, Building Federalism discerns corruption as taking another’s possession for personal gain responsible for surrender of political sovereignty in the insertion to the Constitution of US Parity Rights and free use of land for US military bases  recovered by providential Act of God, eruption of Mt. Pinatubo hurriedly ousting US forces from the Philippines.

Corruption, however, sank Filipino Nation to the abyss of unrepayble indebtedness  to World Bank at 26.2 billion dollars in Martial Law Regime that tripled to 77.3 billion dollars under 1987 Constitution  from 1987-2016, which is, worst poverty  forfeiting economic freedom and affecting political independence.

Government is a contrivance of human wisdom providing human wants (Edmund Burke).

After government has secured freedom, equality, independence, democracy, justice and rule of law, it builds economy which is  a system of producing and distributing the material needs of society; a means of saving money and avoiding waste (Merriam Webster).

Corrupting proceeds of foreign loans is not human wisdom in government  depriving self-sufficiency in food production to feed the Nation constrained by importing inferior rice from countries that learned production from the Philippines that has lost its integrity and dignity.

The Republic cannot forever sleep through the night awaking each morning with unrepayable External Debt.

Constitutional Revision shall grant  Federal Union the option not to assume the External Debt of the Republic  but stipulating to redeem properties  that may be attached properties covering by foreign loans invoking International Law mandating that sovereignty and patrimony of a Nation cannot be annexed.

Constitutional Revision is breaking into  a new dawn securing Credit to build economy of Gross Revenue far exceeding and surmounting Government Expenditure netting gains to repay Credit and redeem properties that may be attached.

Constitutional Revision is Reform of Law of the Land not to be outrightly opposed but participated in being the inherent right to self-determination.

Should Revision turn out to be miserable, those who did not participate for being outrightly opposed shall suffer their own voluntary misery.

Our time is most opportune to finally build Filipino character imbuing reason,           resting divided minds to peace and flowing hearts with love.
