PETITION:

CROSSROADS – 1 Million SignaturesOr Let Us All Die As A Nation

PETITIONER:( Community Disaster Preparedness & Management )
CDPM Chairman: Rev. CrisMagno, Jr.
Valenzuela City, NCR, Philippines

We believe that the hopeof our country lies not on politics nor economics, not even by
political elitesnor intelligentsia, but by transformation of mind, the way Filipino
people think and behave, that's how and why we are acting out, that’s how we should
start the journey from the “DaangMatuwid” towards the brighter destiny of our
nation.
We are appealing to all moral and spiritual values advocates, Christians and Muslims
alike, to supporteducational moral and spiritual awareness and awakening of moral
obligations of this country to all sectors of society ,from city to cities and into all
provinces and every corners of the country.
Therefore, I demand, tothe office of the President , the Malacanang Palace,
Honorable Benigno Aquino III, to the office of the Vice-President, Honorable Jejomar
C. Binay and to the office of our honorable Mayor of Valenzuela City, Rex
Gatchalian, to boost and enhance E.O. 347 ( Values Formation ) & the Presidential
Proclamation No. 828 ( Good Governance and Good Citizenship to Fight
Corruption and Eradicate Poverty ), in a more intense and holistic way, by
instituting a solidarity ofministerial groups or Para-church organization leaders in
every cities, municipalities and provinces, involving them directly, backed-up with a
local resolution to be collaborated at DepEdand CHED in educating the youth both in
public and private schools on Christian values, principles and practices to be
integrated or executed on their values curriculum required on a weekly basis. By this
way, we would be able to save our children and our nation by an impending moral
decay and let a dystopian society reign over us as we face the day-to-day issueson
corruption and rebellion.
Our Aim :

"CROSSROADS" Transforming Our Local and National Communities

We are at a point where the future of Filipino people is going to be decided NOW or
else we repeat the history of socio- economic and moral decay.
Robert T, Kiyosakionce said “Your values become your destiny”. We need to
compete as a nation, but as Filipino human beings we need to connect and to
complement each other, to work not for our own benefits alone but for everybody, to
compensate the loss of each other, to break the bondage of greed and rebellion and to
free our nation from a sure destruction of youth‟s moral and spiritual fiber that will
eventually affect the destiny of our country.
There must be a mover to move a movement, and that mover should not be moved by
any circumstances; however, the success of the mover and its movement depends on
his motive and the unity of every believer to turn this country upside down by
transformational education rooted in the Word of God.
At some point in time, values advocates failed to move the movement until
somegroups or party-list advocatedto remove spiritual or ecumenical prayers and
religious ceremonies in government offices. We believe, that religion and spirituality
do help calibrate our individual and social moral compasses, especially against
corruption and violence.George Washington said “Of all the dispositions and habits
which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable.”“It is
impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible”.-George Washington.
Due to local and global economic competitions our society forgets the key to change
a nation which is the moral transformation and transformational leadership. To love
God and neighbors, to love and to be loved, to give rather than to receive, to treat all
men as equal and to abhor that which is its opposite - greed and egoism. The greed
effect shall be a vivid unavoidable economic crisis where companies, corporations,
banks, lawmakers, political leaders are building at the expense of others.In our
context, the lack of moral knowledge based on Christian valuesis the main reason
why this nation is perishing.
Let me delve you deeper to the real situation. Why such a poverty in the
land?Philippines Economy is emerging with GDP growth rate of 7.5% in the second
quarter of 2013, unemployment rate of 7.1% (January 2013), because media,
officials, statistics say it so. But my opinion, this is justan effect of what we call a
casino economybecause of the nation’s collapsed moral values. Greed, corruption,
abuse, exploitation,et al - these lead this nation to journey from poverty to poverty.
Elite social class of people –the casino players, the bankers, the tycoons, the
businessmen, incorporators, politicians, government officials even NGO are enjoying
the growth by using the people's taxes and investments, savings or deposits, assets,
insurance funds or even their own personal monies at the expense of the masses. The
so-called mother of all scam “ The Coco Levy Fund ” which has been a long time
struggle that lasted for 18 years and now the biggest crime syndicate in RP
“ The
Pork Barrel Scam ” – where trillions of people‟s money were allegedly misused and
corrupted. Recently the World Bank is accusing a certain tycoon for not paying his
own loan at PNBamounting to P38 Billion which should have been used to fight
poverty in our country. Another thing, his P1.2 Trillion tax evasion pending case
since 1987 can make this country rich than ever if the government is dead serious
against him. This excludes P45 Billion of 178 tax evasion cases in the land, most of
them were at upper-class– theseare just the result of the worst kind of conduct our
leaders modeling today and if there will be no deterrent forces, transformational
leaders who will intervene and stand in the gap, our youth and children are on their
way towardsmoral decaywhich will finally be the next corrupt leaders of thenext
generation.
The casino economy is just a virtual economy that‟s why the poor and the middleclass cannot enjoy the inclusive growth. Hence, the urban and rural poor sector
remains poor. 90% of the banks are run by Chinese, 90% of black markets are
Chinese, 90% of the country's wealth are being enjoyed by the 10% richer sector.90%
daily goods are made in China. The tiger economy is just for the rich, no such growth
being enjoyed by the masses and that‟s why the writing on the wall is terribly
conflicting.According to the GDI 2013, the Philippines ranked the third highest in
terms of GDP expansion last year. The index ranked the world‟s largest economies
by how much their business growth environments improved in 2012.But
unfortunately, ASEAN FDI statistics shows that Philippines lags behind other Asian
economies that even the communist country Cambodia is on top of us.
The greed of the crooks and elites has eaten up our economy including our ignorance,
they have been linked to scams, be it PDAF, DAP, Malampaya, Coco Levy, et al in
an unprecedented scale yet they were supposed to be the transformational leaders of
this time since they had all the best in life. 80% of our senators and congressmen are
graduates of UP, Ateneo and La Salle. 60% of them were graduates ofMasteral in the
same schools.30% were graduates ofMasteral& Doctoral degrees inAIM, Harvard,
MIT, Sunhearst, and Oxford. 87% of top bureaucrats are career executive officers but it turned out to be otherwise; 80% of the legislators implicated on the PDAF
scandal were graduates of the said institutions because they have just been educated
by head knowledge on manners and morals on a high-end ethical standards yet they
missed out the vital meaning of life and supreme values of human being because they
have not gone through the experiential knowledge of God. Our crises in Mindanao
that left 70,000 evacuees just in one evacuation center alone was orchestratedby a
then UP professor who turned to be rebel is a clear sign of our destroyed culture of
morality.While 40% of the poor Filipino population living under poverty threshold
and 40% who are living for only $2 a day thriving to survive, a lot of our demoralized
politicians are thriving for social power to amass people‟s wealth. The poor
politicians coming from poor provinces are becoming wealthy in a very short period
of time. This real situation is a sign of complicated capital development, and as an
ordinary citizen thriving to survive, I am not just interested on data or census
irrelevant to workers‟ worldview but on building an economy based ongoods and
services, jobs creation, those that are of tangible value where the poor are winners of
ones‟ economy.
To sum it all, RP is still under the clutches of poverty, corruption, rebellion and
criminality even from our authoritarian past when the nation has been tagged as the
only Christian country in Asia supposedly blessed and prosperous but under curse
because we failed totransformthe minds of our children and mold their character. We
failed to inculcate values of love, sacrifice, discipline, hard-work and selflessness. In
fact, today we are in a total mess. We do not know what comes the next day even if
the PDAF crisis gets resolved soon though we know that the issue will take years in
the court. We are optimistic but we cannot bypass the emotional, social and
psychological scars it will leave behind this mess.
Japanese children have learned moral valuesthrough education in a historical, social
and philosophical context with reference to the impact of religion. South Korean have
learned the power of love and selflessness in the „60s that made them great now when
their scientists and engineers working the hard way back in Germany but decided to
return back home to rebuild their country.President Park in 1964 cried with them and
promised them that Korea would be well off if everyone works hard for Korea.
Indeed, we cannot change anyone‟s character, butwe can be the change-agents. Our
religious journey ironically made us one of the most corrupt country in the
worldbecause religiosity cannot transform character, Christian values does. It
revolutionizes morals and manners of every person. It solves the current issues the
nation is faced with including prostitution, crimes, bribery, scams, theft and all forms
of carnalities. In fact, it will revolutionize the society, politics and economy. It will
heal our broken land. We are all broken pieces, separated by economic interest,
ideological biases and social prejudice. The truth, values taught at home and ethics at
school are not enough to produce change in man because our youth generation today
is wise enough to be cheated. They have seen a lot of disappointment from thesocalled parents, leaders, teachers , professors, mentors, even religious leaders not only
leaders of this nation. Let‟s all accept, more often than not, we fall short of ideals.The
worst, our young people are being led to believe that cheating can be an ingredient in
the quest for success. Gone are the days during the pre-Hispanic era where Filipino
shows no elements of lies and deceit, dishonesty and selfishness. Today, teaching,
leading and mentoring moral values without moral ascendancy is becoming a social
pattern. There must be an element of Christianity should we really want a change in
man. This is not a matter of religion, religion will tear us apart, not even an issue
between church and state, this is a matter of Christian disciplines, character formation
in light of righteous living,changing values by way of changing minds,a key of
transforming our new generation (Matthew 25:31-46).
We do not need to retrieve or institute another moral recovery program,instead we
need to boost or enhancemoral transformation program i.e. E.O. 347 and
Presidential Proclamation No. 828by augmentingChristian values curriculum to all
public and private institutions at all levels. This processwill certainlytransform the
minds of the Filipino citizens and change the course of this nation from poverty to
prosperity.
For now, the program is being initiated by some NGO Christian organizations
primarily based in CRAME. The initiative is focused to PNP and government offices
but the end does not justify the means. The end result does not show any good report
since the latest Global Corruption Barometer of the anti-corruption watchdog
Transparency International shows PNP as the most corrupt institution in the
Philippines. Second, the initiative becomes futile for it is not being supported by the
local magistrates.I , myself had been disappointed when a government-run
campusesand DepEd did not show a bit of interest to talk about itas I was seeking
then an approval but failed .Advocates were having a hard time asking permit from
local officials.
Mr. President, our youth of today is no longer what we use to imagine a decade ago
since the advent of social media portals in 2002. RP today is the social media capital
of the world, youth is more likely to succumb to temptation online and less likely to
subscribe on moral and spiritual education.To all our government officials, we cannot
deny the fact that the Philippines is a God-fearing nation and the country‟s leaders
must accept that God plays a vital role in national life inasmuch as that when a
Christian nation is stripped of its spiritual and moral ideals, it loses its true identity.
This is the reason why God is on top of our Preamble, the 1987 Constitution begging
God “in order to build a just and humane society, and establish a Government that
shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and
develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity, the blessings of
independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice,
freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this
Constitution.”Therefore, with due respect, all of you who rules must rule under the
sovereignty of Almighty GOD. ( Romans 13:1-6 ).Under any and all circumstances
our government, our officials and all its laws, all of them without exception must
observe and serve God first before the people.With due respect, we are all getting
tired of seeing a government that seeks to “give back to the community”,to create
value than creating money.
Therefore, I further demand that the President should execute a second-tier bill
where all Filipinos will make a room for a 5-10 minute prayer or devotion in every
government offices, public or private firms, schools, NGO offices, Christian and
Muslim firms, business firms, and the like at least before all day-to-day
transactions begin be it a Catholic, Muslim, Aglipayan, IglesianiKristo,
Conservative, Charismatic and the mainline Evangelical group.
Transformation starts when the process begins. DepEd in the latter years was doing
great upon integrating MAPE and Values Education in preparatory and elementary in
exchange of GMRC but to nosignificant and remarkable result. Youth are becoming
more immoral than before, our parents were having a hard time to rectify their errors
because they have been badly influenced by their wicked and corrupt environment –
broken family, bad parenting, environmental influences, media and online networks
explosion, negative peer influences including school teacher‟s misconduct. At the
same time, our leaders and adult generation‟s morality were at bay because we have
not gone through the process of transformation before our emancipation age and it
needs a lot of soaking into to be able to overcome.Unless we integrate Christian
values curriculum and activitiesthat are relevant, soul-searching and mindchangingand make it a daily habit, the subsequent generation will still be the same
again or worse than today.
The numerous crises in our country today is an awakening moment that galvanizes
our souls where there must be something different to do this time. Something which
is more than teachings of religious mantra on elementary , character education on
high schools and colleges by theories, on boring and uninteresting rituals and
mediums of values education teachers on classroom settings, but through an
empirical knowledge approach orradical and practical Christianvalues education and
Christian ethicsonce affirmed by Greek philosopher Aristotle's concept of character
formation (e.g. a man becomes virtuous by performing virtuous deeds; brave by
doing brave deeds).Dynamic Christian methodologies which are interesting and
engaging such as workshops, mentoring, retreats, recollections, core groups, team-
building,motivational and inspirational films, developmental and leadership skills,
spiritual values, community involvement, et al. Those activities that will really
change the minds , the social and moral consciousness that will redefine themselves
as one with God and one with others, loveyour neighbor as you love yourself is a not
an option but a solution, And love God above all is the supreme purpose of man. A
transformational curriculum that makes the youth more proactive.A character
formation program based on Christian values.The25 minutes, weekly integrated
Christian moral education will certainly change the course of this nation.It is a
suitable moment to really mean what we say when Megan Young answers her
winning piece for this nation“"I treasure a core value of humanity and that guides
people why they act the way they do."
Former president Fidel Ramos instituted moral recovery program in 1992 which
known as Proclamation No.62 or MRP but to a very minimal degree of success due to
politicking and immoral misconduct of some stakeholders by money-making
activities and exploitation. It is being done sporadically and terribly affected the
advocacy at large. Furthermore, you can count on your finger the LGU and schools
cooperating with the religious sectorswhowere actively supporting the EO. Plus the
fact that the curriculum used by these stakeholders were almost the same curriculum
designed for theAdult or PNP and government officials which is not of course
relevant and effective to the young people‟s environment.Again, the solution to arrest
moral decay is not to recover the moral values or traits of our then culture but
totransform the heart and mind of every single Filipino so that righteousness will
reign over the country and as-a-matter-of-course usher us into a blessed and
prosperous society.
To our honorable Vice-President JejomarBinayand Mayor Rex Gatchalian, I
intend to write to your offices because if this letter would not reach the heart of the
Palace, I still got a second chance and maybe one of you can make it in our own city.
And should there be no positive responses coming from the three offices, let Julius
Caezardeclare its gambling metaphor again “ Roll the Dice! ” or let your humble
offices follow his old admonition“ Nararapat Nang MagdesisyonBago Pa Man
DumatingAngDaluyong!” Julius Caezar.
Mr. President, let me assert that the program is not the problem but the people who
execute the same. We still have HOPE. And we can rise above the storms if we could
just make a new paradigm of transformational leadership together with Christian
organizations on every locality where there is transparency, integrity, solidarity and
passion to educate our new generation without any budget asked from your office/s
unless mandated by your resolutions. We will commit to do the hard work this time
as we are facing a point of no return, to practice what we preach, to walk what we
talk, we will walk from house to house and sacrifice our family budgets just to save
our devastated and dying nation.This is not a joke, we have been volunteering for
decades; our Para-church organizations ,missionaries, pastors, ministers, church
leaders have long been ministering by the grace of God, without remunerations. In
fact, thousands of pastors and church leaders nationwide were already involved with
CCT program or 4Ps as volunteer instructors/facilitators of family development
sessions done regularly. They have been there for 2 yearnow sacrificing their family
budgets just to teach values on family matters. I myself have gone through walking
from house to multipurpose hall where sessions are being held. With due respect Mr.
President, let there be a resolution for moral transformation where LGU, DepEd,
Ched and religious NGO collaborate together and that a new transforming curriculum
be integrated into their values subjects.
Mr. President, I am appealing that the program should be done under the auspices
of LGU with strict implementation rather than advocating from a national mandate
without a responsible parties who will manage and execute the program locally
bythe mayor’s and governor’s initiatives as a leader of every cities and provinces.
By these, our ministers and Christian leaders or Church leaders would have all the
access to volunteer and minister to the youth sectors in all level ( private/public ) –
elementary, high schools and college institutions which is said to be the backbone of
our nation's bright destiny.
To my fellow Filipinos local and abroad , if not this way, kindly show us the way
because we are NOW at a crossroads of choosing which really lead us through the
"DaangMatuwid" when our own President himself together with the nation’s
legislators, senators, cabinet members, LGUs and NGO are caught on a crossfire in
the PDAF scandal. HELP! Sagad Na Sa ButoAngAtingPagdarahop at

conspiratorChuck Colsonnoong 1981, naauthor of the book “Born Again”;
atangwikaniNinoy "Chuck, I want to make a confession to you, God gave me a gift,
I said, a gift to articulate that brought me to the pinnacle of political power. I
promised when I was in prison I said that if and when I redeem my freedom I'd like
to use this gift now to witness for Him."He showed me the way" I know he said to
Colson. Also, Ninoy shared to “The 700 Club”, hosted by Pat Robertson in 1982,
that on “the solitary confinement of my cell, I knelt down on that floor and prayed,
and it was only when He came into me, that I was changed.” Thus,he started
reading the Bible and wondered “why Filipinos are not taught to read the Bible on
their own.”, Ninoy Aquino.
I believe that the finer aspect of life is not what we are today and that what we,
Filipinos are becoming or possessing one day, but it is what we think and believe we
are in the eyes of man and in the eyes of God. The battle between good and evil is
raging in the country today where corruption is becoming an institution and that good
men and women cannot just cry out to Heaven but propelled to go out and get
involved, rebuke and exorcise the demons and vampires around who run this nation
like hell.
I encourage my co-ministers and Christian leaders of this new generation to go and
engage, build this nation from a caterpillar status into a butterfly phenomenon. But
that changes will start from our minds, the way we think and believe and behave.
How we manipulate our environments and influence others depends on our motives
but we need to ask ourselves before another social disaster begins again should we
have done a right decision or not, have we created significant impact or not, or are we
simply adding into the best recipe of social and moral disaster by posting negative
comments, passive involvements and sin of omission (James 4:17).
We are at a point where the future of Filipino people is going to be decided NOW or
else we repeat the history of social, moral, economic and political decay. Let my
Christian community start the awareness and awakening , come out from their fourcorners of the church and act out their social responsibility biblical doctrine, utilize
their multi-faceted God-given gifts to helping people, an opportunity to reach and
disciple communities, a chance to forming groups and social ministries. Cease the
silence. As the saying goes, silence in the face of evil is itself evil. When the
foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? ( Psalms 11:3 ).We cannot
escape nor run from the real issue. Let‟s face the music, let us unite and ignite our
social obligations and change the culture of corruption. Our spirit of unity will shape
the soul of the new generation. Restore the pride and dignity of our country.Bring the
change until change is no longer a question. Let there be a minimum of One
Millionsignatures for CROSSROADS and touch the heart of the Palace or let us
all die as a nation.
I urge Christians and Muslims alike to join with me. Good Luck and God Bless
Philippines! Mabuhay KaPilipinas!Allahu Akbar Alhamdulillah!

“Any weeks from now, I will be admitted into a less than the ordinary charity ward of
Jose Reyes hospital for my gall bladder stone operation. I have seen and experienced
the pain of getting into troubled- line up that will take you 6-8 hours before you reach
the old, poor table of a poor doctor and be diagnosed by his poor medical apparatus
and then be scheduled for a poor type of surgical operation, that will count from
weeks to months depending on the budget comes from the poor PDAF allocations
(due to corruption) for this poor public hospital. It is my prayer and hope, that one
day,there will be no more poor hospital for there will be no more poor Filipinos
should the PDAF get abolished to put into the public purse”

Gatchalian Mayor Valenzuela City, NCR PETITION: CROSSROADS – 1 Million SignaturesOr Let Us All Die As A Nation PETITIONER:( Community Disaster Preparedness & Management ) CDPM Chairman: Rev. CrisMagno, Jr. Valenzuela City, NCR, Philippines We believe that the hopeof our country lies not on politics nor economics, not even by political elitesnor intelligentsia, but by transformation of mind, the way Filipino people think and behave, that's how and why we are acting out, that’s how we should start the journey from the “DaangMatuwid” towards the brighter destiny of our nation. We are appealing to all moral and spiritual values advocates, Christians and Muslims alike, to supporteducational moral and spiritual awareness and awakening of moral
  • 2. obligations of this country to all sectors of society ,from city to cities and into all provinces and every corners of the country. Therefore, I demand, tothe office of the President , the Malacanang Palace, Honorable Benigno Aquino III, to the office of the Vice-President, Honorable Jejomar C. Binay and to the office of our honorable Mayor of Valenzuela City, Rex Gatchalian, to boost and enhance E.O. 347 ( Values Formation ) & the Presidential Proclamation No. 828 ( Good Governance and Good Citizenship to Fight Corruption and Eradicate Poverty ), in a more intense and holistic way, by instituting a solidarity ofministerial groups or Para-church organization leaders in every cities, municipalities and provinces, involving them directly, backed-up with a local resolution to be collaborated at DepEdand CHED in educating the youth both in public and private schools on Christian values, principles and practices to be integrated or executed on their values curriculum required on a weekly basis. By this way, we would be able to save our children and our nation by an impending moral decay and let a dystopian society reign over us as we face the day-to-day issueson corruption and rebellion. Our Aim : "CROSSROADS" Transforming Our Local and National Communities We are at a point where the future of Filipino people is going to be decided NOW or else we repeat the history of socio- economic and moral decay. Robert T, Kiyosakionce said “Your values become your destiny”. We need to compete as a nation, but as Filipino human beings we need to connect and to complement each other, to work not for our own benefits alone but for everybody, to compensate the loss of each other, to break the bondage of greed and rebellion and to free our nation from a sure destruction of youth‟s moral and spiritual fiber that will eventually affect the destiny of our country. There must be a mover to move a movement, and that mover should not be moved by any circumstances; however, the success of the mover and its movement depends on his motive and the unity of every believer to turn this country upside down by transformational education rooted in the Word of God. At some point in time, values advocates failed to move the movement until somegroups or party-list advocatedto remove spiritual or ecumenical prayers and religious ceremonies in government offices. We believe, that religion and spirituality
  • 3. do help calibrate our individual and social moral compasses, especially against corruption and violence.George Washington said “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable.”“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible”.-George Washington. Due to local and global economic competitions our society forgets the key to change a nation which is the moral transformation and transformational leadership. To love God and neighbors, to love and to be loved, to give rather than to receive, to treat all men as equal and to abhor that which is its opposite - greed and egoism. The greed effect shall be a vivid unavoidable economic crisis where companies, corporations, banks, lawmakers, political leaders are building at the expense of others.In our context, the lack of moral knowledge based on Christian valuesis the main reason why this nation is perishing. Let me delve you deeper to the real situation. Why such a poverty in the land?Philippines Economy is emerging with GDP growth rate of 7.5% in the second quarter of 2013, unemployment rate of 7.1% (January 2013), because media, officials, statistics say it so. But my opinion, this is justan effect of what we call a casino economybecause of the nation’s collapsed moral values. Greed, corruption, abuse, exploitation,et al - these lead this nation to journey from poverty to poverty. Elite social class of people –the casino players, the bankers, the tycoons, the businessmen, incorporators, politicians, government officials even NGO are enjoying the growth by using the people's taxes and investments, savings or deposits, assets, insurance funds or even their own personal monies at the expense of the masses. The so-called mother of all scam “ The Coco Levy Fund ” which has been a long time struggle that lasted for 18 years and now the biggest crime syndicate in RP “ The Pork Barrel Scam ” – where trillions of people‟s money were allegedly misused and corrupted. Recently the World Bank is accusing a certain tycoon for not paying his own loan at PNBamounting to P38 Billion which should have been used to fight poverty in our country. Another thing, his P1.2 Trillion tax evasion pending case since 1987 can make this country rich than ever if the government is dead serious against him. This excludes P45 Billion of 178 tax evasion cases in the land, most of them were at upper-class– theseare just the result of the worst kind of conduct our leaders modeling today and if there will be no deterrent forces, transformational leaders who will intervene and stand in the gap, our youth and children are on their
  • 4. way towardsmoral decaywhich will finally be the next corrupt leaders of thenext generation. The casino economy is just a virtual economy that‟s why the poor and the middleclass cannot enjoy the inclusive growth. Hence, the urban and rural poor sector remains poor. 90% of the banks are run by Chinese, 90% of black markets are Chinese, 90% of the country's wealth are being enjoyed by the 10% richer sector.90% daily goods are made in China. The tiger economy is just for the rich, no such growth being enjoyed by the masses and that‟s why the writing on the wall is terribly conflicting.According to the GDI 2013, the Philippines ranked the third highest in terms of GDP expansion last year. The index ranked the world‟s largest economies by how much their business growth environments improved in 2012.But unfortunately, ASEAN FDI statistics shows that Philippines lags behind other Asian economies that even the communist country Cambodia is on top of us. The greed of the crooks and elites has eaten up our economy including our ignorance, they have been linked to scams, be it PDAF, DAP, Malampaya, Coco Levy, et al in an unprecedented scale yet they were supposed to be the transformational leaders of this time since they had all the best in life. 80% of our senators and congressmen are graduates of UP, Ateneo and La Salle. 60% of them were graduates ofMasteral in the same schools.30% were graduates ofMasteral& Doctoral degrees inAIM, Harvard, MIT, Sunhearst, and Oxford. 87% of top bureaucrats are career executive officers but it turned out to be otherwise; 80% of the legislators implicated on the PDAF scandal were graduates of the said institutions because they have just been educated by head knowledge on manners and morals on a high-end ethical standards yet they missed out the vital meaning of life and supreme values of human being because they have not gone through the experiential knowledge of God. Our crises in Mindanao that left 70,000 evacuees just in one evacuation center alone was orchestratedby a then UP professor who turned to be rebel is a clear sign of our destroyed culture of morality.While 40% of the poor Filipino population living under poverty threshold and 40% who are living for only $2 a day thriving to survive, a lot of our demoralized politicians are thriving for social power to amass people‟s wealth. The poor politicians coming from poor provinces are becoming wealthy in a very short period of time. This real situation is a sign of complicated capital development, and as an ordinary citizen thriving to survive, I am not just interested on data or census irrelevant to workers‟ worldview but on building an economy based ongoods and
  • 5. services, jobs creation, those that are of tangible value where the poor are winners of ones‟ economy. To sum it all, RP is still under the clutches of poverty, corruption, rebellion and criminality even from our authoritarian past when the nation has been tagged as the only Christian country in Asia supposedly blessed and prosperous but under curse because we failed totransformthe minds of our children and mold their character. We failed to inculcate values of love, sacrifice, discipline, hard-work and selflessness. In fact, today we are in a total mess. We do not know what comes the next day even if the PDAF crisis gets resolved soon though we know that the issue will take years in the court. We are optimistic but we cannot bypass the emotional, social and psychological scars it will leave behind this mess. Japanese children have learned moral valuesthrough education in a historical, social and philosophical context with reference to the impact of religion. South Korean have learned the power of love and selflessness in the „60s that made them great now when their scientists and engineers working the hard way back in Germany but decided to return back home to rebuild their country.President Park in 1964 cried with them and promised them that Korea would be well off if everyone works hard for Korea. Indeed, we cannot change anyone‟s character, butwe can be the change-agents. Our religious journey ironically made us one of the most corrupt country in the worldbecause religiosity cannot transform character, Christian values does. It revolutionizes morals and manners of every person. It solves the current issues the nation is faced with including prostitution, crimes, bribery, scams, theft and all forms of carnalities. In fact, it will revolutionize the society, politics and economy. It will heal our broken land. We are all broken pieces, separated by economic interest, ideological biases and social prejudice. The truth, values taught at home and ethics at school are not enough to produce change in man because our youth generation today is wise enough to be cheated. They have seen a lot of disappointment from thesocalled parents, leaders, teachers , professors, mentors, even religious leaders not only leaders of this nation. Let‟s all accept, more often than not, we fall short of ideals.The worst, our young people are being led to believe that cheating can be an ingredient in the quest for success. Gone are the days during the pre-Hispanic era where Filipino shows no elements of lies and deceit, dishonesty and selfishness. Today, teaching, leading and mentoring moral values without moral ascendancy is becoming a social pattern. There must be an element of Christianity should we really want a change in man. This is not a matter of religion, religion will tear us apart, not even an issue between church and state, this is a matter of Christian disciplines, character formation
  • 6. in light of righteous living,changing values by way of changing minds,a key of transforming our new generation (Matthew 25:31-46). We do not need to retrieve or institute another moral recovery program,instead we need to boost or enhancemoral transformation program i.e. E.O. 347 and Presidential Proclamation No. 828by augmentingChristian values curriculum to all public and private institutions at all levels. This processwill certainlytransform the minds of the Filipino citizens and change the course of this nation from poverty to prosperity. For now, the program is being initiated by some NGO Christian organizations primarily based in CRAME. The initiative is focused to PNP and government offices but the end does not justify the means. The end result does not show any good report since the latest Global Corruption Barometer of the anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International shows PNP as the most corrupt institution in the Philippines. Second, the initiative becomes futile for it is not being supported by the local magistrates.I , myself had been disappointed when a government-run campusesand DepEd did not show a bit of interest to talk about itas I was seeking then an approval but failed .Advocates were having a hard time asking permit from local officials. Mr. President, our youth of today is no longer what we use to imagine a decade ago since the advent of social media portals in 2002. RP today is the social media capital of the world, youth is more likely to succumb to temptation online and less likely to subscribe on moral and spiritual education.To all our government officials, we cannot deny the fact that the Philippines is a God-fearing nation and the country‟s leaders must accept that God plays a vital role in national life inasmuch as that when a Christian nation is stripped of its spiritual and moral ideals, it loses its true identity. This is the reason why God is on top of our Preamble, the 1987 Constitution begging God “in order to build a just and humane society, and establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity, the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution.”Therefore, with due respect, all of you who rules must rule under the sovereignty of Almighty GOD. ( Romans 13:1-6 ).Under any and all circumstances
  • 7. our government, our officials and all its laws, all of them without exception must observe and serve God first before the people.With due respect, we are all getting tired of seeing a government that seeks to “give back to the community”,to create value than creating money. Therefore, I further demand that the President should execute a second-tier bill where all Filipinos will make a room for a 5-10 minute prayer or devotion in every government offices, public or private firms, schools, NGO offices, Christian and Muslim firms, business firms, and the like at least before all day-to-day transactions begin be it a Catholic, Muslim, Aglipayan, IglesianiKristo, Conservative, Charismatic and the mainline Evangelical group. Transformation starts when the process begins. DepEd in the latter years was doing great upon integrating MAPE and Values Education in preparatory and elementary in exchange of GMRC but to nosignificant and remarkable result. Youth are becoming more immoral than before, our parents were having a hard time to rectify their errors because they have been badly influenced by their wicked and corrupt environment – broken family, bad parenting, environmental influences, media and online networks explosion, negative peer influences including school teacher‟s misconduct. At the same time, our leaders and adult generation‟s morality were at bay because we have not gone through the process of transformation before our emancipation age and it needs a lot of soaking into to be able to overcome.Unless we integrate Christian values curriculum and activitiesthat are relevant, soul-searching and mindchangingand make it a daily habit, the subsequent generation will still be the same again or worse than today. The numerous crises in our country today is an awakening moment that galvanizes our souls where there must be something different to do this time. Something which is more than teachings of religious mantra on elementary , character education on high schools and colleges by theories, on boring and uninteresting rituals and mediums of values education teachers on classroom settings, but through an empirical knowledge approach orradical and practical Christianvalues education and Christian ethicsonce affirmed by Greek philosopher Aristotle's concept of character formation (e.g. a man becomes virtuous by performing virtuous deeds; brave by doing brave deeds).Dynamic Christian methodologies which are interesting and engaging such as workshops, mentoring, retreats, recollections, core groups, team-
  • 8. building,motivational and inspirational films, developmental and leadership skills, spiritual values, community involvement, et al. Those activities that will really change the minds , the social and moral consciousness that will redefine themselves as one with God and one with others, loveyour neighbor as you love yourself is a not an option but a solution, And love God above all is the supreme purpose of man. A transformational curriculum that makes the youth more proactive.A character formation program based on Christian values.The25 minutes, weekly integrated Christian moral education will certainly change the course of this nation.It is a suitable moment to really mean what we say when Megan Young answers her winning piece for this nation“"I treasure a core value of humanity and that guides people why they act the way they do." Former president Fidel Ramos instituted moral recovery program in 1992 which known as Proclamation No.62 or MRP but to a very minimal degree of success due to politicking and immoral misconduct of some stakeholders by money-making activities and exploitation. It is being done sporadically and terribly affected the advocacy at large. Furthermore, you can count on your finger the LGU and schools cooperating with the religious sectorswhowere actively supporting the EO. Plus the fact that the curriculum used by these stakeholders were almost the same curriculum designed for theAdult or PNP and government officials which is not of course relevant and effective to the young people‟s environment.Again, the solution to arrest moral decay is not to recover the moral values or traits of our then culture but totransform the heart and mind of every single Filipino so that righteousness will reign over the country and as-a-matter-of-course usher us into a blessed and prosperous society. To our honorable Vice-President JejomarBinayand Mayor Rex Gatchalian, I intend to write to your offices because if this letter would not reach the heart of the Palace, I still got a second chance and maybe one of you can make it in our own city. And should there be no positive responses coming from the three offices, let Julius Caezardeclare its gambling metaphor again “ Roll the Dice! ” or let your humble offices follow his old admonition“ Nararapat Nang MagdesisyonBago Pa Man DumatingAngDaluyong!” Julius Caezar. Mr. President, let me assert that the program is not the problem but the people who execute the same. We still have HOPE. And we can rise above the storms if we could
  • 9. just make a new paradigm of transformational leadership together with Christian organizations on every locality where there is transparency, integrity, solidarity and passion to educate our new generation without any budget asked from your office/s unless mandated by your resolutions. We will commit to do the hard work this time as we are facing a point of no return, to practice what we preach, to walk what we talk, we will walk from house to house and sacrifice our family budgets just to save our devastated and dying nation.This is not a joke, we have been volunteering for decades; our Para-church organizations ,missionaries, pastors, ministers, church leaders have long been ministering by the grace of God, without remunerations. In fact, thousands of pastors and church leaders nationwide were already involved with CCT program or 4Ps as volunteer instructors/facilitators of family development sessions done regularly. They have been there for 2 yearnow sacrificing their family budgets just to teach values on family matters. I myself have gone through walking from house to multipurpose hall where sessions are being held. With due respect Mr. President, let there be a resolution for moral transformation where LGU, DepEd, Ched and religious NGO collaborate together and that a new transforming curriculum be integrated into their values subjects. Mr. President, I am appealing that the program should be done under the auspices of LGU with strict implementation rather than advocating from a national mandate without a responsible parties who will manage and execute the program locally bythe mayor’s and governor’s initiatives as a leader of every cities and provinces. By these, our ministers and Christian leaders or Church leaders would have all the access to volunteer and minister to the youth sectors in all level ( private/public ) – elementary, high schools and college institutions which is said to be the backbone of our nation's bright destiny. To my fellow Filipinos local and abroad , if not this way, kindly show us the way because we are NOW at a crossroads of choosing which really lead us through the "DaangMatuwid" when our own President himself together with the nation’s legislators, senators, cabinet members, LGUs and NGO are caught on a crossfire in the PDAF scandal.

I promised when I was in prison I said that if and when I redeem my freedom I'd like to use this gift now to witness for Him."He showed me the way" I know he said to Colson. Also, Ninoy shared to “The 700 Club”, hosted by Pat Robertson in 1982, that on “the solitary confinement of my cell, I knelt down on that floor and prayed, and it was only when He came into me, that I was changed.” Thus,he started reading the Bible and wondered “why Filipinos are not taught to read the Bible on their own.”, Ninoy Aquino. I believe that the finer aspect of life is not what we are today and that what we, Filipinos are becoming or possessing one day, but it is what we think and believe we are in the eyes of man and in the eyes of God. The battle between good and evil is raging in the country today where corruption is becoming an institution and that good men and women cannot just cry out to Heaven but propelled to go out and get involved, rebuke and exorcise the demons and vampires around who run this nation like hell. I encourage my co-ministers and Christian leaders of this new generation to go and engage, build this nation from a caterpillar status into a butterfly phenomenon. But that changes will start from our minds, the way we think and believe and behave. How we manipulate our environments and influence others depends on our motives but we need to ask ourselves before another social disaster begins again should we
  • 11. have done a right decision or not, have we created significant impact or not, or are we simply adding into the best recipe of social and moral disaster by posting negative comments, passive involvements and sin of omission (James 4:17). We are at a point where the future of Filipino people is going to be decided NOW or else we repeat the history of social, moral, economic and political decay. Let my Christian community start the awareness and awakening , come out from their fourcorners of the church and act out their social responsibility biblical doctrine, utilize their multi-faceted God-given gifts to helping people, an opportunity to reach and disciple communities, a chance to forming groups and social ministries. Cease the silence. As the saying goes, silence in the face of evil is itself evil. When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? ( Psalms 11:3 ).We cannot escape nor run from the real issue. Let‟s face the music, let us unite and ignite our social obligations and change the culture of corruption. Our spirit of unity will shape the soul of the new generation. Restore the pride and dignity of our country.Bring the change until change is no longer a question. Let there be a minimum of One Millionsignatures for CROSSROADS and touch the heart of the Palace or let us all die as a nation. I urge Christians and Muslims alike to join with me.

I have seen and experienced the pain of getting into troubled- line up that will take you 6-8 hours before you reach the old, poor table of a poor doctor and be diagnosed by his poor medical apparatus and then be scheduled for a poor type of surgical operation, that will count from weeks to months depending on the budget comes from the poor PDAF allocations (due to corruption) for this poor public hospital. It is my prayer and hope, that one day,there will be no more poor hospital for there will be no more poor Filipinos should the PDAF get abolished to put into the public purse” -Ptr. Cris
