Mala-pagong ya panagdisisyon et aga nayari ed Pilipinas [Turtle-pace decision-making is not an option for the Philippines]

Onsasakit so oluk no nanonotan kon dakel so taon ya sinayang na Pilipinas pian onaliguas.

Say 20-taon ya oley nen Marcos et sakey ya baleg a factor no akin tayo mairap. Lost years.

Tinmombok iray kudita ed panaun nen Cory. Abalang langulan oportunidad. Enrile, Honasan sikaray nandiral na ikonomiya. Cory could have agreed to a repudiation of some Marcos-incurred debts but instead acquiesced to pay them. Frequent brownout was the norm.

Intuloy nen Ramos so polisiya nen Cory ya privatization: danum, koryinti, balatyang. Amay National Steel Corporation inlakod Malaysian firm ya undercapitalized tan nanotang na pondo diad loob na bansa. Nen 2004, abankrupt so NSC.

Si Estrada nakal. Tinmombok si Arroyo. Say kanonotan to et walad neoliberal paradigm a kapara nen ama ton si Diosdado Macapagal, aliwan state-led development. 

Apirmaan so Republic Act 7103, Iron and Steel Industry Act nen 1991 ya so mandato to et so industriya ed balatyang sikato so "the springboard and basis for launching Philippine industrialization."

Aga nasabi yan mandato no ag da ikonikta ed pankaokolan ya manbooy sarilin kotsi, sarilin tren, sarilin makina.

In short, the indigenous steel industry would  and should complement the industrial policy of the government in the making of a national car, national railway system, ships, agricultural machines, electronics and appliances. It would and should support the development of military technologies in support of a vision of transforming the country into a maritime and technological superpower. This industrial policy should also include research into nuclear technology, aerospace and advances in pharmaceutical sciences. The state universities led by the UP should play a pivotal role as the policy would pole-vault them into the best universities not only in Asia but in the entire world.

As the architect of its industrial blueprint, the president must see to it that the departments of the government, private institutions and government corporations are in line with the agenda.

No nagawa ya, I don't think countries in Southeast Asia could overtake us.

But the signs are there that they could.

Japan agreed to forgive Myanmar's debt and recently poured money in billions of dollar to create an industrial zone.

Counting from Macapagal to Arroyo's time, 1961-2010, those 49 years were wasted by lack of political will, greed, corruption, over-dependence, lack of self-reliance, or seriously lack of grand vision for the country. Half a century of good policy centered on industrialization could have propelled us as one of the world's superpowers.

But all is not lost if all Filipinos, not just the president, would turn around this undeserved and pathetic condition that we are into.

First in the order of the day must be the revision of the 1987 constitution that renounces war as instrument of national policy when all nation-states must be ready to defend their sovereignty against external aggression and internal subversion. Militarism goes hand-in-hand with industrialization.

Antoy mantatantan ed panangibonog na Hacienda Luisita tan antoy nagagawa ed Camp Gregg ed Bayambang ? [What delays the distribution of Hacienda Luisita and what is happening at Camp Gregg in Bayambang?]

Say inkaswapang. Greed.

Say tutul na Korti Suprima et ibonog so intiron 4335 ya iktarya na Hacienda Luisita. Saya et naibonog la komon ya abayag la nen kasumpal ya nipasa so ley na CARP nen panaun nen Cory Aquino. Balet iray akandalin tan iray managgaway ley et angiyan na baraan pian aga naipila so hacienda.

Nen Nobiembre 2011 inpaway na Korti Suprima ya kaokolan lan ibonog so sayan hacienda ed bili ton P 40,000 kada iktarya basi ed prisyo na taon 1989. Manduaran taon la naani et ag ni asumpal so pangibonog.

Say rason et iray Cojuangco ya abayag lan akinabang ed satan ya dalin. Et so sangkabalgan ya onsosomlang ed satan nayari si Danding, Jose Peping tan si PNoy.

Si Pnoy so nanenengneng kon baleg so impluwensiya no akin ag onggagalaw so panangibonog.

Indeed, it is Pnoy who is greatest stumbling block in the distribution of the hacienda. The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) needs only his go-signal to fully implement the SC decision. One word and DAR could speed up the distribution without unnecessary delays.

What the Cojuangco's did to the lands there in Tarlac, they want to repeat their land-grabbing at Camp Gregg in Bayambang.

These Chinese-descent Filipinos - the Cojuangcos - have benefited from their devious tactics of sucking the wealth of this country from the common people, their land and its resources. Their unconscionable greed is nauseating and now they wanted to claim the lands of the anacbanuas, the children of the land.

All their glories and their riches - the revolutionary taxes in 1898-1899 - had come from the toil, blood and sweat of ordinary people. Who's heir should be proud of that?

Now, Pnoy, the hacienda has sustained you and your family or clan for many years. It is time now to return it to its real owners and stop your kin from grabbing the lands in Pangasinan!
