I was sitting yesterday, reading Hon. Benigno Simeon Aquino III's 4th SONA when he said we shall follow "ang tuwid na daan." Upon reading this, I felt like standing up and saying, "Oh no! Not again."

I am impatient to learn his sentiments on the problems the country is facing now.

"This uneasiness has produced acts absolutely unjustifiable; but I hope they will provoke no severities from their governments. A consciousness of those in power that their administration of the public affairs has been honest, maybe. So far as I have yet seen, they do not appear to threaten serious consequences."
- Thomas Jefferson

I know, he is cool, reserved in political conversations, but free and familiar on other subjects, and a very attentive, agreeable person to do business with. It is not impossible to have a clearer, better organized lead...

I am glad that the construction of the Aluling Bridge is complete. I have been following with great interest the course of other countries, what if we should also follow such course?

I congratulate you, dear President, on the great success the Administration has so far made. I will continue to hope and pray for your assertive leadership.

 

Stop Hunger Now!

 

 The stomach is a bottomless pit, a hole as big as the world...

Hunger affects hundreds of millions of people. The world produces enough food to feed all its people, but that food is not distributed equally among the rich and poor or across national boundaries. In addition, war, drought, or pestilence can produce local outbreaks of mass starvation.

Children suffer from the effects of starvation more quickly than adults. According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), malnutrition contributes to the deaths of more than 6 million children under age five each year. Typically, starving children develop a condition called malnutrition, which is characterized by a wide array of health problems, including extreme weight loss, stunted growth, weakened resistance to infection, and impairment of intellect.

"The war against hunger is truly mankind's war of liberation."
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy, U.S. President

Due to poverty, basic needs are not met, such as food.
What the government should be doing is giving actions to mitigate hunger and malnutrition. We should increase awareness on these issues, and there should be an advocate for stronger political action to end hunger.

"The earth has enough knowledge and resources to eradicate this ancient scourge. Hunger has plagued the world for thousands of years. But ending it is a greater moral imperative now than ever before, because for the first time humanity has the instruments at hand to defeat this cruel enemy at a very reasonable cost."
- Sen. George McGovern

We have the ability to provide food for all within the next three decades.

The world should see hunger and malnutrition eradicated from human population... and all together, let's end it NOW.

"The day that hunger is eradicated from the earth there will be the greatest spiritual explosion the world has ever known. Humanity cannot imagine the joy that will burst into the world."

- Federico Garcia Lorca, Spanish Poet
