SENIOR CITIZENS MONTHLY PENSION, ENOUGH?

Ating alamin kung saan napupunta ang P500 na buwanan o monthly pension para sa NAKATATANDA o senior citizens. Numbering 300,000 in Quezon City alone, each elderly receives P500 based on the law that crated the pension in 2010.

Noong 2010 ang pension na P500 ay makabibili ng 14 kilos na bigas dahil ang halaga ng bigas ay P35 por kilo.

Ngayong 2020 ang kilo ay P50 por kilo kung kaya't ang P500 pension ay makabibili na lang ng 10 kilo ng bigas.

One kilo of rice = 4 cups.

Ang isang kilo ng bigas ay maaaring maubos sa loob ng 2 araw para sa senior citizen. Sa loob ng isang buwan, kailangan ng 15 kilos ng senior citizen.

Sa halagang P50 por kilo ng bigas, ang 15 kilos kada buwan ay nagkakahalaga ng P750.

Sapat ba ang P500 para madagdgan ng taon ang buhay ng senior citizen?

CONGRESS AND SENATE: please recalculate the benefits for senior citizens, immediately before they expire. Mabuti pa si PDD inaalagaan nyong mabuti.

It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.

Hubert H. Humphrey

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.

PRG DECLARATION

Philippines for Righteous Governance (PRG)
Forbes Park, Makati City, March 26, 2009

WE, FILIPINOS OF DIFFERENT CREEDS, DECLARE AND BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD (A DIVINE BEING) WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH; THUS, IN GOD WE TRUST.

We, are citizens of the Republic of the Philippines comprising of individuals and various organizations, and hereby state a DECLARATION OF UNITY in common vision for RIGHTEOUS GOVERNANCE and GENUINE SYSTEMS CHANGE. Because of this declaration of unity, we do hereby state the following:

That the Philipines today is in a state of MORAL DECAY perpetrated by our present leadership who has shamelessly displayed the absence of morality in governance, integrity, justice and love of country.
Our nation is tainted with crimes against God and humanity where HUMAN RIGHTS are systematically violated resulting in the disappearance and death of over a thousand victims. The past several administrations had never instituted a GENUINE LAND REFORM that could have resulted in economic prosperity, promotion of nationalism and morality, dignity in the Filipino; thus we cannot anymore stand as mere spectators of dismal and flagrant display of historical failures to bring about GENUINE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC REFORMS.

That the Philippines today needs GENUINE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC REFORMS that will be mustered by NON-TRADITIONAL POLITICIANS and a few exceptional traditional politicians at all levels of public governance, from the Presidency down to the Barangay Captain level. They will run the Philippines to be a great country with righteous governance, with shame; will possess integrity, selflessness and not greed; must dispense proper justice, promote peace, push for poverty alleviation, put the country back to order, enhance ecological balance, uplift morality, good values, and LOVE OF FAMILY, and be more nationalistic through LOVE OF COUNTRY.
