KAPATIRAN- PLATFORM BASED POLITICS

KPK BATS FOR PLATFORM-BASED POLITICS

In an effort to change the way politics is practiced in the Philippines, a communitarian political movement will pursue its educational mission with “new fervor, new approach and new method.”

This was announced by Johnny Cardenas after he took over the presidency of KPK (Kapatiran sa Pangkalahaang Kabutihan) from Reynaldo “Nandy” Pacheco who is now president of a new national political party called Alliance for the Common Good (Ang Kapatiran), which was accredited as a national political party by the Commission on Elections on May 8. 2004. KPK is registered as a foundation with the Securities and Exchange Commission and was launched in August 2002.

“Now is the best time to undertake a voter’s education campaign – an off-election period,” Cardenas said.

To replace the politics of pork barrel and the politics of personality, deceit, hypocrisy, dishonesty, patronage, pay-off, immoral compromises, and the politics of guns, goons and gold, KPK will promote a platform-based politics, the politics of the common good, of virtue and of duty.

KPK will ask all Filipinos, regardless of religion, social and economic status in life, “to measure each candidate, policy and platform by how they touch the human person, whether they enhance or diminish life, dignity and human rights and how they advance the common good.

With common good as its ideology, KPK seeks to promote an enlightened, mature and responsible citizenship from which servant-leaders will emerge, through character building, including good manners and right conduct, values formation, consistent ethic of life, and basic political education.

As a vehicle for social and political transformation, KPK shall tell the voters to take into account, apart from the moral fitness and competence of the candidates, the platform of the political party – whether it has clear, specific policy objectives which can be woven into a vision for the country, and whether the candidates of the party are all committed to the platform.

The education component shall include such universal principles as belief in Almighty God; life and dignity of the human person; call to family, community, and participation; rights and responsibilities; option for the poor and the vulnerable; dignity of work and rights of workers; solidarity, peace and active nonviolence; progressive disarmament; universal purpose of earthy goods and care for God’s creation.

OIL PRICE

This is an open letter to the Department of Energy and Secretary Raphael Popo Lotilla.

This unsolicited advise is not original to me, this is what I culled from conversing with Physical Economist Butch Valdez, a former Undersecretary of Education, that the Philippines should purchase oil on a country to country arrangement, and the way the commodity traders purchase commodities wherein the prices are more stable, long term
and most often at better prices.
The world consumes 81 million barrels a day and the supply is 82 million barrels a day.
We must NEVER purchase oil on the spot market like we do today as this is the most
expensive way to do it.
Demand that the oil retailers must publish their purchase prices as transparency
is one way to monitor if we are paying an overprice.
