MONETARY: Justice And Charity For The Survival of Poor Filipino Families

[Eric Encina <ericencina@yahoo.com>]

 

 

Dear Valiant Friends For Social Credit/Monetary/Economic Reform/Justice/Democracy:

 

"My advice is to re-focus on assisting (Filipino) women who have been driven into sexual slavery by poverty or by abduction, and not waste your time fighting with a ghost". (Art Bell's dead hoaxer or impersonator) - Dan Bell, Ken State University, Ohio, USA, dbell@kent.edu

 

After 14 years of very difficult Social Credit, monetary reform, economic justice and promoting alternative solutions, campaigns and efforts  in the Philippines, and along with our present individual and group  organic farming project for the poor Filipino families in the villages as alternative solutions for sustainable survival, for fighting against hunger, poverty and scarcity of money and the endless financial-economic crisis under the present infinitely unjust and silly debt-money system,   I, Eric V. Encina, the Filipino Social Crediter/Monetary Reformer and Economic Justice Activist,  and my poor Filipino poor family-companions  have another project with multi-purpose aims to fight for against poverty, injustice  protect and  defende the poor women, mothers and families from exploitation and deprivatons  and sustain life, the family and the children for the long-term.

 

We are  deeply  thinking some  practical strategies  as part of promoting alternative solutions for sustainable survival  tackling and wrestling dreadful poverty, financial-economic crisis, unemployment, crimes, exploitations of women and children, that is a home-based employment stategy for the member- poor families/women/mothers including ourselves:  The Livelihood Sewing Machine Project for the Poor Filipino/women/mothers or  families, let say, we will buy seventeen  17   sewing machines at US$120 each  (P6,000 Philippine Peso value), total amount needed of US$2,040.00 (P102,000.00 Philippine Peso)   and we  will make sewing activities that include a form of small business as a group of  seventeen  (17)  poor mothers/women/families as members  including ourselves,  to make and  sell clothes  in town both at the stall or in peddling methods  and or to use in bartering for foods and other life essential for the  children. Thus we can help ourselves to build some sort of self-employment to poor families, to provide employment for their growing children, or highschool graduates or college graduates than going to Middle East to work as domestic helpers or to Japan as entertainers the end up being exploited and sexually abused or being maltreated without mercy by the heartless, conscienceless and merciless opportunistic employers.  What do the monetary reformers or Social Crediters  think about it? Do you think it  can  help to alleviate poverty of poor Filipino families in the villages, to help prevent exploitation of Filipino  women by sexual slavery overseas? Right now there are so many Filipino women graduates of highschool and some in colleage and find no employment in the provinces and in the Philippines and mostly are without option to think going overseas as domestic helpers and or entertainers to Japan to earn some income to help their families survive in the Philippines in the endless struggles in financial-economic crisis, chronic shortage of money, poverty and hopelessness.

 

As the founder/President/Administrator of Filipino Alternative Solutions For Sustainable Survival, Inc. (A small registered NGO of poor Filipino poor Families for Monetary/Economic Justice, Reform and Democracy, Organic Farming and Sustainable Survival),   I  have been deeply  thinking about this idea/scheme/alternative employment solution even though as it can give a little impact as it is as a pilot experimental project  since the issues of  allegedly Art Bell's "Hate Letter to Filipino people" which found out to be a hoax and done by already long dead "Art Bell's hoaxer or impersonator". I am interested to this project and my poor Family member-colleagues after our meeting and brainstorming ideas  for the long-term and life-time strategy for life as part of looking for means to  combatting hunger, poverty of the poor member-Filipino families and their children and thus provide a little home-based "it's better than nothing" employment for the poor women/mothers and families, a little effort to prevent exploitation of women by sexual slavery and prostitutions both here in the Philippines and overseas.  Poverty, unemployment, money problems are serious here and thus a great  threat  to family life under the unjust financial-economic system. That's why we are initiating vegetable planting, food raising and sewing machines project for the poor women/mothers/families for the long-term. Since January 2006 we have been also trying to clear the plough the land in Yabton village of a tiny town in Ivisan of Capiz province Philippines. We have already planted some vegetables, herbal plants for our needs in the coming months and years as certainly life survival in this region is getting too difficult when prices of prime commodities or basic essentials are increases monthly and annually because of the debt-based economic pressures.  Foods are becoming so expensive particularly when 12% Expanded Value Added Tax has just been implemented this January 2006 as pressured by IMF WB.  When there is poverty and hardships, however,  POPULATION CONTROLLERS of the Western rich nations and shown in their foreign policies,  BLAME THE CHILDREN, THE BORN AND UNBORN BUT THEY SELDOM  BLAME THE ENORMOUS INJUSTICE IN THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM that causes poverty and hardships to poor families, women, children, suffering of the aged that lead to exploitations and many nefarious acts against humanity. They do not even see that they waste money only for contraceptives and for killing the unborn and the poor and innocent poor mothers.

 

This is the major strategy that we have to do:

 

We must continue our efforts, campaigns, organic farming project,  activism or activities for MONETARY REFORM, ECONOMIC, MONETARY JUSTICE AND REAL ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY IN THE PHILIPPINES, we also continue our organic farming project as our long-term solution to hunger and food security,  however slowly and precisely.  We fight against the debt money system, the control of money, the debt enslavements of the IMF and WB,  but we must promote local alternative solutions, or schemes or ideas as practically as much as possible. There are poor Filipino couples and  families here being pressured to kill their unborn children because of poverty. Killing the unborn is not the solution to poverty. 

 

And so in addition to our small-scale ongoing   organic farming project in Yabton village here in Capiz province, we have a new alternative solution  project proposal as initially explained above. But our major problem is "figure", "money" "fund", "capital" to do so. Philippine money is truly devalued and being dollarised to the point of losing its value in front of the rising prices of prime commodities and basic essentials. At present, to be realistic, without overseas employment of Filipinos and without foreign aid, FILIPINOS ARE IN THE VERY EDGE OF HUNGER AND DEATH.

 

 Do you think there might be any possibility to look for US$2,040   in  USA in Philippine Peso  equivalent for us to buy   seven  (17) manual sewing machines for this Alternative Solution  Sewing Machines  Project For the Filipino families/women/mothers as a group of seventeen? Thus, US$2,040  ( Philippine Peso value)  will be used to buy 17  manual sewing machines at US$120 each   for the project for the poor women/mothers, and the little  remaining for our administrative  operating expenses and  and project implementation  needs this  2006.

 

Do you have any comments, suggestions, or correction?

 

If not acceptable to you,  just ignore this matter. We just want to explore too  of as part of our crucial plan  for the maintenance of  our monetary reform mission, alternative solutions for sustainable survival  mission, our own critical  survival and for the survival of our fellow poor Filipino women/ families and their children under the constant threat of debt-based, infinitely unjust and silly  economic system.

 

We must  continue to do the work for economic justice in low profile  as we do prayers to be always strengthened spiritually  and morally in the face of enormous and endless problems of survival, of poverty and injustice.

 

 

Thank you very much for any  material and financial  help in advance  for our mission for Filipino alternative solutions for sustainable survival mission  and for our life/family survival in the region in the Philippines.

 

May we also  inquire if you have "ORGANIC SEEDS' that may be considered to send to us in a very small quantity if and when possible, so that we use to grow, sprout or plant for our months or years of needs through organic farming project.  We must have plantations of vegetables or crops even in the little parcel of land  so that we can ensure to prevent hunger for the children and families we have here working and struggling to fight for economic justice.

 

Thank you very much for all your troubles reading this email again.

 

Sincerely yours for economic/monetary justice, reform and democracy,

What do you think about this project  for the poor families/mothers/women here in Capiz province, Philippines to also help address the problems of poverty, of exploitatin of women, of children and deprivations of poor families.   This is also called an alternative solution  employment project for the poor Filipino  families in the Philippines.

 

PROJECT PROPOSAL:

 

 

FILIPINO ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION  LIVELIHOOD SEWING MACHINES PROJECT FOR MARGINALISED AND POOR FILIPINO FAMILIES/WOMEN/MOTHERS  IN CAPIZ PROVINCE, PHILIPPINES

 

Area of Operation:     Lawa-an Village, inter-villages, Capiz province, Philippines

 

Number of Poor Family-Member-Participants:     Well-selected seven (17) poor member-families in the villages, Capiz Province, Philippines

 

Project Purposes:    For the survival and liberation of poorest Filipino families/women/mothers  from tremendous exploiting  economic hardships, system, policies and poverty towards life-respecting sustainable self-reliant and long-term livelihood sewing machines project and for the educational campaigns for monetary reform, justice and democracy   in the region.

 

Reasons To Do The Project:     Most of the poor member-families/mothers/women are in the savage cruelty  of poverty, acute money problems, unemployment under the present debt money system.  Most poor families in Capiz province, Philippines are without any economic, banking, monetary access within the region, within the Philippines, without sustainable resources to make a living. Their husbands and families are only ordinary laborers, tenant farmers--landless, oftentimes, under employed or unemployed that result to suffering of their children of hunger, illnesses and malnutrition, and therefore suffering severely in the savage cruelty of monetary and material poverty, hopelessness  and other crimes in the villages. Women are exploited by prostitutions both here and overseas. There are so many poor Filipino women working overseas as domestic helpers and as entertainers in Japan and elsewhere where they are suffering some sorts of cruelties and abuses.  Filipino Alternative Solution  Livelihood Sewing Machines Project through Micro-credit scheme can help the poor marginalised women/mothers/families here find a slow, gradual and precise liberation from the cruel financia-economic  system and cruelty of poverty, per se, the lack of, or absence of money, and control of money. Member-Filipino families/women/mothers that follow the schemes and  conditions and monetary reform or alternative local  solution  philosophy will become model for the other alternative solution  projects  in the future  to other poor villages in the Capiz province and to other Philippine provinces.

 

Mechanics:     We need fund to buy seventeen  (17) manual sewing machines. Each member will have its own machine at home or at their village to use in making/sewing clothes, etc. and sell them in a modest price for a profit and or use the made clothes or products for barter for foods for their children, and if there is income earned, there will be money to pay the machine(s) in a monthly basis for five (5) years (2006-2011) to create A REVOLVING OR FILIPINO ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION  TRUST FUND for the next cycle of project.

 

Amount Needed:    US$2,040.00 for seventeen  (17) manual sewing machines: Each manual sewing machine costs US$120, that is (17) seventeen  manual sewing machines times US$120 equals US$2,040 at the present exchange rate of US$1 to P50 Philippine Peso Currency. Therefore, US$2,040 times P50 Philippine Peso equals P102,000.00 Philippine Peso currency. 

 

Where To Buy The Sewing Machines:    The manual sewing machines are available in Manila by order, in the neighboring Iloilo Province by order and in H-Tronics Mdsg.

No. 0063 36 522-6587, email: brandel_trendon@yahoo.com and to other sewing machine stores in 3 provinces in Panay Island, Philippines.

 

Price Per Machine:    US$120.00  in Philippine Peso value (There is a threat of increasing price per machine because of the newly-implemented ANTI-LIFE/FAMILY/ANTI-POOR/ANTI-JUSTICE 12% Expanded Value Added Tax by the Philippine Government beginning January 2006. (EVAT is originally imposed by   IMF and WB to collect more taxes to pay interest because of the country's huge and endless and life-killing  foreign and domestic debts.)

 

Members: How To Pay Monthly:    Each member-family who obtained a manual sewing machine at US$120 or P6,000 must be obliged as a matter of responsibility to pay in a montly basis on the agreed amount of US$2 or P102 to pay US$24 or P1,124 annually for (5) years period, that is US$120 or P6,120 with the very minimum interest of 2% per annum for the administrative NEEDS  OF OUR LITTLE OFFICE-CENTER  AND MANAGEMENT COSTS during the time frame of the project.

 

Therefore (17) seventeen  poor member-women/mothers/families in sewing machine project with the needed US$2,040 or P102,000.00 Philippine Peso (at the present exchange rate of of P50 as of this month of April or May  2006). Fluctuation of currency is the typical operation of debt money system.

There is no problem of the shortage of wealth, money and  food in the world in this modern age of plenty only if there is no monopoly. The real problem is selfishness, greed and avarice of mankind. There is no lack of God's Providence, what is lacking is justice and charity.

 

The global economy produces more or less US$30 TRILLION value of wealth production annually but only goes to the powerful and super-rich multinational corporations, global mega-bankers, commercial/financial institutions, millionaire-billionaire-tycoons that and who control money, wealth and population. Individual, organizations, institutions, systems, ideologies, beliefs, practices and policies are, alas, hostitle to faith, morality, life, family and the poor in the third world.

 

Hundreds of billions of tonnes of FOOD, and other goods go to waste every year in the whole world while more than 900 million people are suffering hunger, diseases and tremendously life-health devastating-killing material and monetary poverty and economic hemorrhage. Millions, billions to trillions of money are scandalously misused and wasted in the world for spiritually, morally, physically, economically, socially and environmentally damaging programmes and projects when undeniably millions of people are in the most shameful, devastating, dreaful, miserable and most degrading poverty.

 

Reportedly, there are around 7.5 million Millionaires to Billionaires globally with the collective assets of US$25 Trillion, and is expectedly reaching to US$44.9 Trillion in 2004 and much more in the coming years at the expense of the sufferings of billions of poor people in this planet.
