A Three (3) Year Plan to Restore Integrity in Politics and Governance in Quezon City Generating Swing Votes for 2016 Presidential Elections

The Lord’s Promise in Isaiah 65: 22-24

22 Hindi tulad nuong una, sa bahay na ginawa’y iba ang tumira 22 Hindi tulad nuong una, sa bahay na ginawa’y iba ang tumira. Sa tanim na halama’y iba ang nakinabang. Tulad ng punongkahoy hahaba ang buhay ng aking hirang, lubos nilang papakinabangan ang kanilang pinagpaguran. 23 Anumang gawaing paghirapan nila’y tiyak na magbubunga, at hindi magdaranas ng mga sakuna ang mga anak nila; pagpapalain ko ang lahi nila, at maging ang mga susunod pa. 24 Ang dalangin nila kahit hindi pa tapos ay aking diringgin, at ibibigay ko ang kanilang hinihiling. Isa 65:22-24 22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the works of their hands. 23 They will not toil in vain or bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them 24 Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.

Are we one with this??? Today, popularity alone will not guarantee victory. Elections is nothing but MONEY politics. It makes the media go wild and crazy. Manipulated Survey and Paid Ads are their tools! Money and/or promise of position in government makes the adrenalin of political operators and mercenaries rise. Business for profit is the dominating interest. Public office became a mere extension of the big business to protect their economic agenda. They fund winnable candidates. Corruption means COMELEC. COMELEC only means Commission. Sacred votes no more… Bcoz of PCOS! OLIGARCHS AND FAMILY DYNASTY RULES! Not to mention the role of the “Unseen Hands”. C.I.A.

MAGING TAPAT PATAS dapat! Hindi tayo lumalahok sa eleksyon para lamang magpahayag ng magbuting salita ng Diyos at magpalaganap ng ating adbokasiya. Tapos na rin ang panahon ng eksperimento at pagbabasakali. Tayo ay makikipagsabayan sa kampanya laban sa mga tradisyunal na pulitiko. Subalit tayo ay lalaban ng parehas at walang hangaring mandaya. Kaya una nating ipinaglalaban ang makatotohanang pagpapatupad ng batas ng eleksyon at lahat ng mga kaugnay na polisiya nito upang maging malinis at makabuluhan ang halalang 2013. Mahalaga rin na magkaisa muna ang lahat ng nais ng maging tapat sa isang SECTORAL AGENDA na siyang imumungkahi sa mga LDCs. Kaya ang ating panawagan: MAGING TAPAT PATAS dapat!

ang Karapat-dapat! IBOTO Upang mayroon tayong katulong sa pagpapapirma sa ating petisyon, sa pagpapalaganap ng Patas na Eleksyon at pinagkasunduang Sectoral Agenda, oorganisahin natin ang lahat ng Urban Poor Organizations sa ilalim ng USAP at sa pamamagitan ng isang Sectoral Primaries, pagkasunduin natin sila na magbuo ng isang “Urban Poor Slate” na ating susuportahan at iboboto sa araw ng eleksyon. ang Karapat-dapat! IBOTO MAGING TAPAT

MAGING TAPAT MAGPLANO ng Nararapat! Ang dahilan kung bakit ang nalilikum na buwis ng taumbayan ay walang patumanggang nawawaldas lamang ay sa kadahilanang walang malinaw at pangmatagalang plano ang inihanda ng Local Development Council kasama mismo ang taumbayan. Gagamitin natin ang Rationalized Planning System (RPS) na pinanday ng DILG, DOF at NEDA, sisimulan natin ang pagbubuo ng plano mula mismo sa ating mga tahanan, pataas. Dito rin natin imumungkahi at pagtitibayin ang People’s Agenda. Kung kaya’t dapat tayo ay… ng Nararapat! MAGPLANO MAGING TAPAT

MAGING TAPAT MAGBAYAD ng Sapat! Hindi tatakbo ang sasakyan kung walang gasolina. Ang ating panawagan ay IBABA ANG BUWIS, MAGDEKLARA NG WASTONG KITA AT IBIGAY ANG ANGKOP NA BENEPISYO SA MGA MANGGAGAWA kapalit ng serbisyong masinop, matapat at may seguro. Pangunahin nating bibigyan ng pagkakataon na tangkilikin ng merkado ang mga produkto at serbisyong nilikha at matatagpuan sa ating mga pamayanan. IPATUTUPAD NATIN AND ISANG PROYEKTONG MAGBIBIGAY SA TAUMBAYAN NG INSPIRASYON NA MAGBAYAD NG BUWIS NG MAAGA, MAKATOTOHANAN AT MASAYA. ng Sapat! MAGBAYAD MAGING TAPAT

Ang ating panawagan … ng Nakalapat! MAMUNO MAGING TAPAT

The Situation Addressed Urban Poor represents the largest marginalized sector in our society that has no equitable representation in policy making body of our government; During election period, everybody became politically partisans, particularly the leaders, resulting to divided urban poor sector, vulnerable to bribes and vote buying; No established common sectoral agenda that will bind the urban poor as well as program and strategy to sustain its development and advocacy work; and No strategy to effectively consolidate the voting power of the urban poor. its

Our Response Strengthen and present USAP as NEUTRAL organization to effectively sell and facilitate the Sectoral Primaries System to identified major and secondary players in urban poor movement as well as friends and allies in government and private sector; Present the negative implications of the continuing vote buying during election period to the the urban poor and nation as a whole; Offer USAP Road Map and PHRASES as reference to develop the Unified Sectoral Agenda to bind the sector; and Establish a Unified Campaign Secretariat that shall be transformed as the Common Legislative-Executive Support Staff for the winning official Urban Poor Candidates.

The Sectoral Primaries PHILOSOPHY: Sovereignty resides in the people, (Art. II, Sec. 1, 1987 Philippine Constitution), hence there must be congruence between the source of power (the people) and the leaders invested with the authority to exercise the power. (Law / Government Bureaucracy) IDEA: The representatives who exercise the sovereign power of the people must be produced by a process that allows broad-based participation by them. CONCEPT: The primaries can be understood therefore as a GOAL, PROCESS and MEANS

As a Goal To raise and select God-loving, progressive and competent public officials from the rank of the urban poor sector, concerned with the common good and committed to the empowerment of the sector and the Filipino people to achieve a prosperous Philippines.

As a Process A CONSULTATIVE MECHANISM CONSISTING OF: PHRASES as reference for the development of the Unified Sectoral Agenda as the Political Platform; Vetting, i.e. qualifying, nominating, screening, etc. Endorsing, short-listing and voting to produce the official Urban Poor candidate. TO BE IMPLEMENTED BY: A Formal ‘Mandating Body’ (Structure & System) backed up by a Unified Campaign Secretariat.

As a Means It is an Organizational Tool to Arouse, Mobilize, Unite and Organize Urban Poor Sector’s Enlightened Participation and Involvement in Effecting Leadership Change.

Objectives Mobilize at least 30% of the electorate per congressional district, particularly among the Urban Poor and the youth who registered as voters, to participate in the Sectoral Primaries and later support the chosen candidates. Unite reform minded urban poor organizations to work for the election of good, responsible, and reform oriented Urban Poor leaders, particularly at the highest levels of government. Provide an environment and a structure for a political machinery to emerge, where various urban poor advocacies may be represented and become part of the platform of government to be adopted by the USAP official candidate.

Requisite Conditions Unified Sectoral Agenda; God-loving, progressive and competent Candidate; Conscientisized Electorates; Unified Campaign Secretariat; Adequate Resources and Cooperative Media.

How are we to Organize and Develop the Sectoral Primaries? Nomination and Primaries shall start in the Barangay. Every Barangay will have at least one (1) electoral vote regardless of the number of registered primaries electorates. Any number above the increments of 500 signed up primaries electorates = 1 additional Electoral Vote. Maximum Electoral Votes per Barangay = 12. Barangay Electoral Voting: one electorate, one vote reconciled at the Barangay level as evidenced by a SMS with a FG Control number. In the event that no nominee gets 50% of the electoral votes a run off shall be conducted for the top two. Winner is the one with the highest electoral votes garnered.

Why a Barangay Electoral Voting System? To equalize participation and ensure balanced representation of all areas in a Congressional District; Ensure non-domination by limited Urban Poor organizations that are disproportionately large; Make the process less subject to manipulation or suspicions of manipulation.

Who will Organize and Facilitate the Primaries? The USAP Unified Campaign Secretariat (USAP- UCS) in cooperation with (hopefully… PCUP, NUPSC, M4NT and UP Office of Legal Aid) Designs the overall scheme and prepares the operations templates. They will assist in the formation of the Facilitator’s Group (FG) and Local Screening Committee (LSC). They shall establish a Voting Control System. Assigned pre-numbers will be distributed to Barangay Facilitators Groups (BFGs) to effectively register the Sectoral Primaries electorates. There will be control numbers for voting through SMS.

Who will Organize and Facilitate the Primaries? The Facilitators Group (FG)   They will be responsible in organizing the Barangay Facilitator’s Groups (BFGs) and Barangay Selection Committee (BSC); Conduct local caucuses and orient the like-minded organizations and individuals who will be invited as BFG members. Invite Spiritual and Religious Leaders in the Barangay to present the Sectoral Primaries System and invite them to compose the BSC. They will be composed of Non-Partisan movements and organizations affiliated, allied with USAP and likeminded groups and will primarily be responsible in conducting the Sectoral Primaries.
