Above, now we have “ISKONOMICS101 – Buhay at Kalusugan” (Life
& Health) with the 5 groups of items – here, I am presenting only my free
translations:
50% Tax Cut On Oil, Electricity –
Government will sacrifice and reduce by 50% taxes for crude oil and electricity
as assistance to businesses and ordinary Filipinos.
Vaccine For Everyone – Widen the
national vaccination program, gather medicines against Covid-19, build new
hospitals, and pursue a strategy against Covid-19 supported by science.
Innovative & Modern Schools – Build
new schools and invest in skills development of Filipino youth to strengthen
the educational sector, including the national labor force.
Mega Infrastructure – Build new bridges
to connect the country’s economic hubs.
Progressive Culture In Modern Times –
Build new infrastructures in the fields of agriculture and tourism, including
digital infrastructure.
Now, as an agriculturist (BSA major in Ag Edu, UP '65, with
2.36 weighted average that was computed including a few Failed’s), a retired teacher, self-taught digital writer
& editor & desktop publisher, and an indefatigable & independent blogger
since 2000 and today a senior 81, I will concentrate on Agriculture and Digital
Infrastructure. (Thank you, Isko Moreno for your digital attention!)
Farmers
We have 10 million farmers, and most of them are poor and
lead unsustainable lives, victims of lack of business sense, so we have to help
entrepreneurial-wise. We cannot solve farmer poverty overnight, no matter how
good the Secretary of Agriculture is. Nobody can eat if there are no farmers
among us – that’s how important farmers are.
Digital
Infrastructure
Our farmers must follow Regenerative Agriculture to avoid
contributing greenhouse gases adding to global warming. They follow uneconomic
ways of cultivation; therefore, digital inspiration, information &
instruction will help any number of them tremendously at any time. Currently, radio
training is being followed, which is ancient – digital is of the essence and of
the moment! Like, I have been proposing the creation of a Knowledge Bank starting
10 years ago (see my essay, 25 July 2011, “Mind, Knowledge Maps. Rice Farming
For Dummies[1],”
A Magazine Called Love, Blogger.com). A digital library as a
source of all kinds of guidance of even a million googlers asking questions all
at the same time should be perfect!
Isko
Moreno is the only presidential candidate who has paid attention to farming and
expressed appreciation of the Information Superhighway. His team of advisers is
awake and aware. Excellent!
Except that Iskonomics101 has 2 different entries in the
same Facebook post: “Buhay at Kalusugan” (Life & Health) and “Buhay at
Kabuhayan” (Life & Livelihood). That has to be resolved. If you ask me,
“Buhay” already includes “Kalusugan,” so the single choice should be “Buhay at
Kabuhayan.”
Now,
if Iskoconomics101 can capture all those contents & intents in A Single Captivating
Vision for the Philippines, Isko Moreno is the best candidate of all!@517
