Reclaim and Regain the Wealth, Sovereignty and Dignity of the Filipino People and Nation: A Vision of Genuine Change for Filipinos

We dedicate ourselves to a Philippine society made prosperous, progressive and pro-environment by the genuine industrialization and sovereignty of the Filipino nation and people, and by the equitable empowerment and socially just liberation from poverty of the Filipino especially of the poor and disempowered. We commit ourselves to a genuine people’s nationalism: a Philippines principally for Filipinos and a Philippines controlled by Filipinos, a pro-Filipino society enjoyed by the majority, not just a few local partners of foreign big business. In short, a Philippines for the Filipinos.

We are not mere reformers, or agents of reforms that merely perpetuate the “free trade” system led by foreign capitalists only to favor a new set of Filipino cronies.. We are innovators for social justice and advocates of economic policies that benefit the majority instead of a economic and political oligarchy. We pledge to fight to realize the goals of the following New Vision for the Filipino Nation:

1. Genuine, pro-Filipino industrialization and nationalist economy: to attain genuine, pro-Filipino industrialization by developing core Filipino-controlled industries from machinery and R $ D to herbal medicine, principally for Filipino consumers, full and deep processing of local raw materials, including coconut, abaca and gold, protection of Filipino production against importation and smuggling, and prioritization of government budget for genuine industrialization.

2. Fair and equitable trade and debt: to ensure fair and just prices for Philippine exports, including coconut, banana, abaca and labor exports, now undervalued by foreign business cartels, regain national income lost from unfair trade, develop fair trade ties with countries and people’s organizations, capping debt payments, repudiating onerous debt, and demanding and exacting reparations and restitutions for previous unfair trade and onerous debt.

3. Local people‚Äôs control and anti-monopoly-cartel policy: to dismantle various foreign and local business monopolies and cartels, including petroleum, power, drugs and rice, promote and protect people‚Äôs cooperatives and alliances to replace exploitative cartels, reverse ‚Äúfree market‚Äù policies imposed by the IMF, WB, WTO and ADB and replace them with the pro-Filipino policies of people‚Äôs price and economic control, pro-Filipino government leadership and Filipinization of the (more…)
