Marcos Solution: Creating a Renewable Energy Future

"We Do Not Inherit the Earth from Our Ancestors; We Borrow It from Our Children"

Native American Proverb

The decisions that leaders make today can either make or un-make our future. The policies being pursued now ultimately affect the collective interests of future generations including those already born and the unborn. From this perspective, leaders have a strong moral obligation to consider the well-being of the generations who will inherit the world long after we are gone.

Securing a viable energy future is one of the key pillars of sustainable development. And a viable energy strategy requires a sound environmental conservation plan at the same time. A future-oriented development effort of this kind entails a policy to provide a safe, secure, and sustainable alternatives to our current but unsustainable energy sources. Most, if not all, of our energy sources, are derived from imported fossil fuels which are not only exhaustible but also increasingly costly. Relying too much on carbon-based energy sources impairs our ability to adapt to the local and global challenges of climate change. Furthermore, fossil fuels are highly susceptible to the political and economic volatilities. Thus, we cannot entrust our energy future to unstable sources.

Bongbong Marcos has long been an advocate and champion of sustainable and renewable energy. It is his lifelong commitment to transform a future sustainable economic prosperity into a continuing inheritance for many Filipino generations to come.

Bongbong Marcos: SUCs for Free College Education

Invest in Our Future

“Education is one of the most important services that the government can provide to the people.” - Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. 

The Filipino Youth is the most indispensable asset of the nation.  An accessible higher education enriches our youth’s vigor, renews the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of the people, and develop our creative capacity to design our own future.

Why Bongbong Marcos?

Amidst deepening issues of government failures, incompetence, and scandals involving misconduct, corruption in most agencies of the government and with the recent scam, the infamous “tanim-bala" at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), the Philippines once again earned a disheartening criticism among the nations of the world- ruining the dignity of every Filipino wanting to have at least a decent life.    

Under these turbulent times, we are yearning for a leader who could provide us a clear direction and an assurance of a better future. Year after year, the people are always at the receiving end of government’s disorganized management and enormous incompetence. This is the norm for the past thirty years wherein meritocracy, competence and good ethical standard are set aside to cater political and quota- based appointments. And this will remain to be the case until a new brand of leadership fills in the governance vacuum and become a force of change.

The challenges of our time demand a new kind of leadership. We need nothing less than a revolutionary and a visionary capable of unsettling the corrupt and incompetent government leadership.

The Crisis of Education and the Tragedy of Underdevelopment

The theory of human capital tells us that the economic development of a country is largely influenced by the quality of its education. This simply means that a highly educated population is the key to a nation's progress.

A Call to Revolution

“A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

We need a revolution.

We need a revolution because the system that we are living under is not suitable for dignified human existence. This is not a fair and equitable system created for and by the people but by the excessive pursuit of self-serving interests by a powerful few.

We need a revolution that urgently calls for a change of values. Governance has lost its moral fortitude. The moral vacuum is now replaced by a culture of entitlement where people in positions of authority no longer profess a commitment to accountability and responsibility to the people whom they serve. The perversion of free enterprise has resulted to a de-humanizing market economy where development is held captive by few but highly influential economic actors at the expense of the common people.

Our democracy is losing its human quality. There’s nothing left of our faltering democratic institutions but a farcical and theatrical display of political showmanship, pretensions, and utter nonsense. Plain commonsensical wisdom seems to have abandoned many of our current breed of leaders in their approach to solving our country’s numerous problems. Our leadership culture in both public and private sectors is trailing behind other countries in terms of political maturity.

Constitutional democracy under Martial Law versus EDSA Lies

Most, if not all, legal pundits would agree to the fact that the declaration of the Martial Law in 1972 was well within the legal confines of the 1935 Constitution. As the constitution then stipulated, the President was not only authorized but was mandated to exercise it should circumstances require him to do so. This was clearly stated in Article VII Section 11 (2) of the 1935 Constitution which directed the President to “…place the entire or a part of the Philippines under Martial Law to prevent or suppress lawless violence, invasion, insurrection, or rebellion.” The provision also authorized him to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in exercise of this power. Failure to declare and implement the Martial Law under the pressing conditions of the time is not only anti-democratic but also purely irresponsible.

Today’s Revolution: Marcos Love of Country

What love could be far greater than love of country?

Love is the most powerful creative force that makes all dreams, hopes, and aspirations possible. It is the driving force behind every successful revolution and nation-building. All great leaders from nation-builders to statesmen possess this. Love of country is a leader’s obsessive capacity for greatness fueled by a clear vision and singular purpose.

We, the Youth, are heirs to that promising vision of greatness. We are the gift of the future sustained by love of country.
