As president, what would you be prepared to give up in exchange for the freedom of your favorite family member being held hostage by vicious terrorists?

You, your family and most trusted personnel happen to be in the presidential yacht that has met an accident and is now sinking. For whatever reason, you as President must be saved and hence have to board the rescue raft that could unfortunately fit only one other person. Those you leave behind have a very slim chance of survival. Who would you bring along with you–your mom, spouse, your only child, your lawyer, defense secretary, etc?

Assuming you staunchly practice your religion and there is a law being proposed that is widely popular among legislators and the masa alike but which goes against the very core of what you believe in, would you support this law?

Great blog!

This is my dream scenario too and it’ll be easy for me to ask “DO YOU SUPPORT THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH BILL?” I feel the bottomline of all our problems is runaway population growth. There are no problems with our attitude. We have our values in place. Our problems lie with our political leaders and our staggering population. No matter how many slex, nlex, wlex or elex we build, no matter if our growth is like China’s, IF WE DO NOT CONTROL OUR POPULATION, every effort, time, money will go down the drain. It’s a no brainer. No matter how big the vessel is, if water continues to pour, it will overflow and overflow relentlessly.

I would ask, “Of all your accomplishments as a public servant, which one has served the greatest good – the one that has impacted the most Filipinos positively?”

IF 90% of Filipinos earn less than 20,000 pesos/year, we must first improve their income.
1. Encourage rural folks to plant more fruits and vege. Give them FREE seeds like Ponkan oranges that can grow locally, supervised by agriculturist. Build roads and bridges to bring product to market. Will result to more income and less importation of Ponkan orange.
2. Encourage same to grow small animals like chiken, sell what they cannot consume. Adopt lease/lend animal program. Result would be more income, healthier Pinoys and less imports.
3. Make sure there is money for the above, corruption must STOP from top to bottom. Elect only uncorruptable offcials or those less prone to corruption. Don’t vote for a candidate that
is spending BILLIONS for a position that earns less than a million. You know for sure he will get it back plus 500% or more interest that is why he wants the positionn badly. Elect an honest person so funds will ba available for roads, bridges, schools, medicines and other programs that will improve the earnings of 90% of Filipinos. GOD bless the Philippines

GianT, you’d be surprised to find out some of these street kings, with their police sirens and back-up suv’s (with basic military arsenal) aren’t even government officials. some of them are just rich, well-connected businessmen who either have genuine fear for the laws of karma catching up with them or they just want to impress their kind.

ok mm, here’s my one question:

exactly how passionate are you in your desire to improve the lives of the hungry and impoverished?
