Just call me by my name

As I embarked on my new journey in the recruitment processing industry, I had the pleasure of meeting individuals who shared my passion for speaking Spanish. Among them were two young ladies who, like myself, were newcomers to the industry.

In Filipino work culture, there's a sense of familial camaraderie where colleagues often address each other with affectionate titles rather than by their names. For instance, older women may be called "mother," older men "father," and so on.

During my time in Ortigas Center, we affectionately referred to one of our colleagues as "daddy." May he rest in peace. Now, in my current workplace in Eastwood, these two young ladies affectionately call me "mama," despite my insistence otherwise.

Personally, I prefer to be addressed by my name alone—simply Gerry. Being called "mama" is something I cannot embrace, as it holds a sacred place reserved for one person—my mother. On this note, I extend warm wishes to all mothers across the universe on this Mother's Day.

Yes to charter change: wakasan ang kahirapan at kurapsiyon

GUSTO mo bang MAKATULONG na WAKASAN na ang KAHIRAPAN at KORUPSYON bilang ORDINARYONG MAMAMAYAN?

As a concerned citizen, do you aspire to contribute to the alleviation or reduction of poverty and corruption within our nation?

If your answer is affirmative, we invite you to join us in advocating for constitutional reforms through the three-point agenda proposed by the CoRRECT Movement. Let's work together to spread awareness of the imperative need for these reforms.

1. REMOVAL of ECONOMIC PROVISIONS in the CONSTITUTION. Put the regulations, provisions, restrictions and other policies needed out of the Constitution into the REGIONAL PARLIAMENT LEGISLATION.

Ito ang unang susi sa pagwakas ng KAHIRAPAN at KAWALAN ng TRABAHO.
Ang pagiging bukas na ekonomiya ang syang ginawa ng SINGAPORE, CHINA, TAIWAN, at VIETNAM, MALAYSIA para mapaunlad ang kanilang bansa.

2. SHIFT to PARLIAMENTARY government system at levels of government (national, regional, local) with reference to Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Canada and Australia.

Ito ang unang susi para wakasan ang KORUPSYON at kung paano naging mas MAY DISIPLINA ang mga tao at sumusunod sila sa batas...

3. ADAPT EVOLVING FEDERALISM again with reference to Germany, Switzerland, Canada and Australia and UK.

Ito ang unang hakbang para mapalago ang mga PROBINSYA at ibalik ang METRO MANILA sa dati nitong ganda at kawalan ng trapiko.

Ating hikayatin lahat ng nga mga tao sa PILIPINAS na magingay, pagusapan ang CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS at ang THREE POINT AGENDA ng CoRRECT Movement para magkaroon na ng TUNAY na PAGBABAGO sa PILIPINAS.

It's time to verify

When it comes to social media, we are constantly bombarded with news and information. But not all of it is true! To verify the accuracy of news on social media, there are a few things you can do.

Is it credible?

Firstly, when evaluating an article, it's essential to check the credibility of the source. Reliable sources typically have a track record of accuracy and integrity, so it's wise to verify the reputation of the publication or author. If there are doubts about the source's reliability, it's advisable to cross-check the information with other reputable sources to ensure its accuracy and credibility.

Look for supporting evidence

Secondly, look for supporting evidence or quotes within the article that corroborate its claims. Reliable articles often include references to studies, expert opinions, or official statements that lend credibility to the information presented. By examining the supporting evidence, readers can better assess the validity of the article's claims and make informed judgments about its accuracy.

Your analytical skills

Thirdly, analyze the writing style of the article. Sensational phrases, extreme viewpoints, or overly biased language may indicate that the article is more focused on eliciting an emotional response than presenting factual information. It's essential to approach such articles with caution and critically evaluate the content to separate fact from opinion or speculation.

Verify its acuracy

Lastly, before sharing an article on social media or other platforms, take the time to conduct additional research to verify its accuracy. By independently verifying the information through reputable sources or fact-checking websites, you can help prevent the spread of misinformation and promote authentic and genuine news stories to your audience. Taking these steps can contribute to a more informed and discerning online community.

Yes to charter change: Parliamentary System

Article 6 & 7 - Form of Government

 

REFORM the current lousy PRESIDENTIAL Structure to the superior PARLIAMENTARY System
WHY PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM?

• MUCH LESSER CORRUPTION - Top 10 for the LEAST CORRUPT in the Global Corruption index all operate under PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM;
• SAVINGS of 400 to 500 BILLION PESOS ANNUALLY potentially due to REDUCTION in CORRUPTION;
• CHEAPER elections: for the candidates and the electorate, less elections being bought by oligarchs;
• YEARLY SAVINGS of 30 BILLION PESOS potentially due to cheaper and less elections;
• COST of RUNNING a GOVERNMENT is very much(maybe 50%) lower in PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM since the EXECUTIVE and LEGISLATIVE branches are fused;
• VOTE on IDEAS not personalities: LESS DYNASTIES;
• COMPETITION based on POLICIES : LESS POPULARITY contests / electorate forced to think and prioritize when voting;
• FASTER ELECTIONS: leads to cheaper elections which again reduces the risk of elections being bought by monopoly seekers / rent seekers/ oligarchs;
• MINORITY IDEAS get a turn in the spotlight : in a presidential system, mostly ideas backed by the political elite or pushed for by deep pockets get discussed;
• No more "OUST (INSERT NAME HERE)" shenanigans: if the leader you don't like has truly lost favor with the electorate, a simple NO CONFIDENCE VOTE can oust that person;
• LESS EXTREMISM: In parliamentary systems, oftentimes no one single party gets to rule outright. This pushes them to form coalitions. This usually ensures that extremist parties don't dominate;
• INTRAPARTY DISCIPLINE: there are competing egos in every party and this ensures the ones who lead parties truly know their stuff and have internal fortitude;
• EASE OF DOING BUSINESS will greatly improve especially if handled by REGIONAL PARLIAMENTS;
• TERM LIMITS and POLITICAL DYNASTIES will be IRRELEVANT;
• PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM ang sagot natin sa KORUPSYON, POLITICAL DYNASTIES, BALIMBINGAN, WEAK POLITICAL PARTIES, MAHAL NA ELEKSYON, VOTE BUYING, POLITICAL GRANDSTANDING at PERSONALITY BASED POLITICS;
• PHILIPPINES should shift to PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM using these countries as references (GERMANY, SWITZERLAND, UK, SINGAPORE, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, MALAYSIA) NOW na!

#YEStoConstitutionalConvention
#YEStoConstituentAssembly

SHIFTING to FEDERAL PARLIAMENTARY POLITICAL SYSTEM (now unitary presidential)
and ADAPTING a MORE OPEN MARKET ECONOMY by REMOVING all ECONOMIC PROVISIONS in the Constitution (now top 3 most restrictive economy in the world)
are the KEY INITIAL STEPS in UNTANGLING the BUREAUCRATIC MESS from the top to bottom, left and right, that has burdened our COUNTRY for a very long time now.
