it is becoming apparent now. p.noy, the much-awaited messiah? the one --- who will usher in a new dawn? where is he now on his promise of raising the filipino out of poverty?
contrary to good economic sense, he has just doubled the dole-outs. a palliative for ending poverty is to directly give dole-outs to the poorest of the poor. it will just increase the misery of the filipino. even encouraging the attitude of receiving something without having to do anything. i'm talking about the conditional cash transfers to the poorest of the poor in selected households nationwide. a poor family gets 1,400 pesos a month for medicine and education. the only condition is their children go to school everyday for the next five years, and the mothers go regularly to the health center.
can we call this a new paradigm for solving poverty? a way out into the new morning for the filipino?
this is even much cruel than marcos' or arroyo's. i think he will get negative grades even lower than gma's.
