[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] MONETARY: Another Letter of Eric Encina to Philippine Government
Madame Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo President Republic of the Your Excellency: I listened intensely at you recent ‘STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS’ (SONA) last July 24, 2006, and I seem to believe your desire to uplift the poverty situation of the Filipino people but I really doubt under the present debt-structured financial-economic system in the country. I have noticed that one of your ambitious dreams is to construct road that will link or connect Luzon, Visayas and Mindadao (the three (3) major islands in the Philippine archipelago) but the major problem is funding, actual money problem, the acute lack and shortage or absence of money and alas, the Philippine Government, without considering the monetary reform scheme, has decided again in a monumental mistakes to return to foreign and international borrowings at interest with no hope of recovery in sight under debt money system. It is reported that the Government is now again set to borrow its
remaining urgent financial requirements for 2006 as the only known option immediately after Your Excellency has laid down her administration’s fiscal needs and spending priorities in your 6th STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS. Under the present financial protocols, Philippine Government has to borrow again in the amount of US$1 Billion this year 2006 to foreign banks like Citigroup, Deutschebank, and JP Morgan as underwriters/agents that would
guarantee the sale of bonds of around US$750 Million or IOUs in an auction of three-year DEBT PAPERS that would, accordingly, mature in 25 and 30 years (that is, another long years of debt bondage of debt-based protocols for the Philippines). A Million Question Dollar Question: How long must we borrow money at interest? I would like to respectfully repeat to Your Excellency the proposal for the Philippine Government to solve the problems of funding without resort to commercial, foreign and international borrowings. MY APPEAL TO PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT TODAY: Filipino people are in the state of economic contingencies, exigency, life and death situation in the countryside: Government leaders must take action right now. Please do not make any delay. Delays means death to Filipino people! THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT MUST NOW CREATE AND PRINT THE MONEY DEBT AND INTEREST FREE ACCORDING TO THE WEALTH, NATURAL RESOURCES, MANPOWER AND PRODUCTION AND CAPACITY OF THE COUNTRY, ACCORDING TO THE LEGIMATE NEEDS OF THE GOVERNMENT AND OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE, BACKED UP BY THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES AND BY THE GOVERNMENT OR THE STATE, THAT IS, BY LEGISLATION TO BE PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE MAJORITY IN THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE, APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND HER
EXECUTIVE CABINET MEMBERS, AND STRENGTHENED AND GUARANTEED BY THE SUPREME COURT FINAL DECISION, THROUGH MONETARY REFORM ACT AND THUS BY IMPLEMENTATION, THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE BANGKO SENTRAL NG PHILIPINES OR CENTRAL BANK OF THE PHILIPPINES (which must be nationalized) TO BE JOINTLY EXECUTED AND IMPLEMENTED BY DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND NATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES RATHER THAN BY CONTINUALLY BORROWING MONEY AT INTEREST FROM THE PRIVATE, COMMERCIAL AND INTERNATIONAL BANKERS AT WHICH THE PRESENT DEBTS MUST BE CANCELLED, STOP PAYMENT OF INTEREST (as the country or government has paid more than enough), AND THUS WITHDRAWAL FROM BIS, IMF AND WB, AND OTHER MULTILATERAL OR BILATERAL BANKING INSTITUTIONS. And thus, the finance of production both private and public, the country's infrastructure and other government projects must be financed by the new creation of financial credit-debt-free,
and not by savings or taxes and finally, there must be dividend, or supplementary basic income to every Filipino citizen annually from the cradle to the grave with or without condition or means test. The private banks must be finally prohibited to create money debt at interest. The banks will continue to operate by law under monetary reform law based on the financial credit provision of the Government and can be used for loans and investments via interest free scheme but only charge service fee to the borrowers. Your
Excellency, this is the real ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY for all Filipinos: the real solution to poverty and money problems in the Your Excellency, please consider to refer the
proposal to THE HOPE OF THE NATION WILL CERTAINLY DEPEND ONLY ON MONETARY CHANGE PROPOSAL as stipulated here. In plain language, as Your Excellency, is the highest executive in the land, and as steward of the Philippine Government, you have the emergency powers, in order to solve the problem of money without resort to foreign and international borrowings, and shameful foreign aid, as a right and duty of independent and sovereign government to initiate and or mandate or instruct with commands and validity to create and manufacture Philippine Peso currency, say, P100 Billion, MARKED PESO, to be used as in circulation as a legal tender within Philippines, that is, for specifically for internal circulation and to be honored within internal transactions alone in the Philippine territory. Philippine Peso legal tender
currency can be converted, however, if necessary, to pay our legitimate debts by conversion to US$. There is no need to borrow money in US$ to foreign and international banks to pay the past borrowings—for this is the major cause of BALOONING DEBTS AND SKYROCKETING INTEREST PAYMENTS, unstoppable or endless budget deficits and inflationary pressures. Debt free money creation, I would further opine, to say, this will be a wise suggestion, so urgent than ever, that can cure the apocalyptic problems of debt and poverty in the Philippines. The malignant foreign debts, as dictated by IMF and WB, that are resorted without
option for dollar exchanges where fluctuation of currency is too unjust and under heavy manipulation by speculators, targeting for profits the floating bonds. The present debt structure that kills us already is causing us terrible heavy taxes most particularly the 12% Expanded Value Added Tax or E-VAT and might likely increase to 13% to even 15% that is going to put the survival of Filipinos, not only the businesses, into demise. It is recommended to put politics aside. This is another terrible barrier to development and survival of
the Filipino people. THE VERY URGENT PROPOSAL IS DEBT FREE MONEY CREATION or in simple language the creation and manufacturing of MARKED PHILIPPINE PESO by the Philippine Government through the facility of the Philippine Central Bank, and thus for the increased internal circulation within Philippines to address the acute problems of the shortage of money, of funding for infrastructures, for public services, even for the payments of legitimate debts and for curing poverty of millions of Filipinos through the extra basic income or dividend scheme policy. Your Excellency, in view of the nightmarish financial-economic-social situation in the I appreciate your prompt reply in advance. Thank you. Respectfully yours, Eric V. Encina Filipino Alternative Solutions For Sustainable Survival Movement c/o Lito Alhambra Old House, Homesite, Km2, Brgy. Lawa-an, Tel. No. 0063 36 6216-454 Email: ericencina@yahoo.com P.S. At
present, August 1, 2006, in the midst of our terrible sufferings, crisis, tension, pressures and our health problems, we the poor Filipino families from the villages or barangays are having small meeting-seminar here in Roxas City, Capiz, proposing the debt-free money creation and promoting organic farming methods and other noble causes for our survival especially for our children. We are hurt, very hurt citizens and we are honest, we are angry to Government, to government officials. We are also angry to the Church for not directly going into the issues. We are angry to Bishops and priests not helping us in our monetary reform proposals. The Philippine Government must not continue to be a useless, impotent and dysfunctional government of the Filipino people. And to become an effective government
of the people, PLEASE CONSIDER THE MONETARY REFORM PROPOSAL before the revolution takes place. Thank you. Eric V. Encina Founder.
