WHO CONTROLS THE
PRESENT?
How can we expect to defend our nation when we filipinos do not even possess
and control our resources and direction of our development?
As
of 2012 October 20, the Philippine Government as in the past, failed to
formulate an effective Anti-Money Laundering Law. It was due to in 2001, when the chinese
compelled the Philippine Government to remove tax evasion as one of the crimes
covered by the Anti-Money Laundering Law.
This has blocked our efforts in regulating the manner of paying taxes
for effective and equitable financial sustainability. The Philippine Government adjusted the law
according to what the chinese wanted.
WHO CONTROLS THE
PAST?
In
the 1900s, the Philippine Government passed a law requiring books in business
written in chinese to be written in the language Philippine government auditors
could understand. The chinese
refused. The United States Government
stopped the Philippine Government from enforcing the law.
Around
November of 1924, we developed a setup to check foreigners entering our country
as part of our defense system of checking further foreign infiltration. However, the United States dismantled them. An editorial appeared on June 5, 1926 in The
Tribune. It made a comment regarding: the chinese making a plaything of our
exclusion laws; their out maneouvering us from the start of our border checking
operations, making a fool out of us.
Meanwhile, we filipinos dismantled chinese bases of economic controls in
many parts of Manila and Luzon. The
Philippine Constabulary, a U.S. established unit to be the auxillary corps of
the U.S. Armed Forces in the Philippines, intervened.
We
tried strategies based on our present condition to gain control of as much area
of our nation as we could against the foreigners. The start of our series of
manoeuvres thru legal operations with the Retail Trade Nationalization Law in
1954 however, was out-manoeuvred by the Chinese. After we implemented this law,
some 8700 of the 10,000 chinese who rushed to get hold of certificate of
filipino citizenship papers after 1946, did so after 1954. Thus in paper, the number of chinese
registered as engaged in the retail trade was reduced and the number of us
filipinos engaged in the same business was increased. In reality however, there
was no physical difference. The difference was only in paper.
Many
of these chinese were able to aquire legal documents of being Filipino Citizens
in order to make their control of our resources resulting to displacement of us
original filipinos constitutional. They applied what the famous
Chinese General Sun Tzu said something like, “Therefore, the skillful leader
subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities
without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy
operations in the field.” They conquered our cities without the use of
traditional combat weapons. Except for President Carlos Garcia, all of our
presidents have been more than willing to be their puppet government. They have been
protected by the laws of the land. They have been protected by the law
enforcers of the land. They displaced us filipinos from our source of
livelihood and we have no big brother to protect us.
EFFECT OF THE CAUSE
ON THE PRESENT
Today
and here, what has been the result when as of 2007, between 80,000 to 100,000
chinese have been moving covertly inside our main homeland? These do not include those who have already
gained access to having legalized their status.
They have been able to continue taking over of our banking system,
building construction system, rice distribution system, real estate
development, airline industry, retail industry, etc.. They have been rendering us impotent in
solving the chronic rice shortage for decades.
Now they have been taking over development of our education thru Asia
Pacific College, UE, Centro Escolar University, etc.? What has been the result?
They
have developed a situation where in our military, police, and political
officials have been locked in under their social and economic influence to provide
them protection and access to having legal status of control of our resources
and development.
EFFECT OF THE
CAUSE- U.S. TAMPERING WITH OUR DNA
How
many decades have we been under what the U.S. term as, tutelage, protection,
training, technological support, and guidance of the mighty protective north
americans since the 1900s? In all those years, our defense system could
not proceed at any direction of development other than that under U.S. control,
tutelage, protection, training, technological support, policies, guidance and
dependence on. How many decades have we been at war against brother filipinos
in what the the U.S term as insurgency? How many years have been our defense
system been functioning as defense against brother filipinos? The situation is equivalent to the autoimmune disease of the immune system of an
individual human entity. In all those years, have we ever been able to develop
a defense system capable of defense against foreign invaders?
In
all those years that other nations like France, Germany, Israel, Japan, and
Vietnam, developed their nation, how has their status of economy and
defense become? Did they let their economy and defense be controlled by and dependent
on the U.S. or other foreigners?
If
we let the U.S. continue their tutelage, protection, training, technological
support, guidance, and control of our nation as what they have always been
doing, how many more years will it take before we will this time be able to end
being at war with brother filipinos? How many more years will it take before we
will finally be able to have the economic and defense status of nations
mentioned who have never been controlled by nor dependent on the U.S.?
UNIVERSAL
PATTERN
An
HIVirus infiltrates the human body thru an immune cell of that human body. Attached inside the immune cell, the virus
utilize the DNA of the host immune cell to establish its identity as that of
the host immune cell, and takes over control of that cell. Other uninfected immune cells are not able to
detect the HIVirus because it has the identity and DNA of the infected host
immune cell. When it has completely
taken over the host immune cell, that immune cell dies. The HIVirus replicates the process to the
next human immune cell. After 15 years
of replication of the process, what will be the status of all the immune cells?
Can the immune system still defend the body
against other invading pathogens that result to TB, tumors, meningitis, and
other apparently non HIVirus initiated?
In the national body, it is no different.
When a foreign body takes over control of our Determinants of National
Attributes, can our defense system still defend our nation against other invading
nations?
OUR ORGANIC DNA
When
we became separated from Madre España in 1898, we were born as a nation. We inherited the organic Determinants of National Attributes from the founding fathers of our nation. This unwritten
code was the factor inherent in us, in: producing a national character and
identity that binds us, as a nation; driving the direction of our development;
and providing cohesion and continuity of development thru generations.
Carrying
that unwritten code within us, as a nation, we developed a system of politics,
defense, judiciary, economy, and education. Being an infant nation, we
struggled to be united, to adapt to the situation, and to control our resources
and direction of our development.
"The
Friars in the Philippines" by Coleman, and "GDP per capita in 1900 by
country. Definition, graph, and map" by NationMaster.com 2010 reported
that during our birth as a nation in 1898:
We
were among the most educated in all of Asia. Our economy and standard of
living were ahead of most of our Asian neighbors and even many European
countries at that time. In 1900, the estimated GDP per capita for the
Philippines was $1033.oo. We were the second richest nation in Asia, just
a little behind Japan, having $1135.oo. We were far ahead of China,
having $652.oo or India having $625.oo.
Corpus in his “Roots of the Filipino Nation” and Jose in his “Rise and Fall of
Antonio Luna”, reported how our nationalism and unity at their peak in the
1900s were unprecedented and never anymore been surpassed.
THE ORGANIC DNA OF OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE
SYSTEM
At
the birth of our nation, we had an infant but vibrant national defense system.
It was clear who our defense system belongs to, for it was clear who we
were, not as individuals, not as tribes, nor petty kingdoms, but as a
nation.
Our newly developed but infant defense system underwent the ultimate test of
its class and potency when a foreign entity, the north americans of the United
States, violated our newly born nation in 1898 by their invasion. Without
any aid from any nation, our defense forces engaged the aggressor forces of the
emerging most powerful nation in the world in 1899. It was our
first encounter with a foreign aggressor force as a filipino nation. We
lost in many battles but we also defeated them in battles like Balangiga,
Mabitac, Pulang Lupa, and other documented battles. So potent were our
defenses that, the aggressor forces were not able to break our resistance for
years.
Ellis
G. Davis, Company A, 20th Kansas of the U.S. occupational forces in the
Philippines, wrote about us in the 1900s: "They will never surrender
until their whole race is exterminated. They are fighting for a good cause, and
the Americans should be the last of all nations to transgress upon such rights.
Their independence is dearer to them than life,…".
The aggressor forces of the emerging most powerful nation in the world had to
resort to what terrorists engaging a stronger force today do- kidnapping of
civilians among us. But at that time, it was on a massive scale which
included extermination of the civilians among us. According to just the
documented reports, among the places where these form of terrorism took place
were in Marinduque, Rizal, Bulacan, Batangas, Laguna, Albay, and Samar.
Their demand: surrender of those of the defense forces among us. It
was because of such terroristic acts that the defense forces among us were
compelled to give in to their demand. It was because of such terroristic
acts that 800,000 to 1,000,000 of us filipinos died.
To be able to function effectively in defending our nation against foreign aggressor
forces, we must first, have a functional defense system. For our nation to have a functional defense
system, we must first of all have possession and control of our resources and
direction of development which includes that of defense. To take possession and control, we must first
take possession and control of not cash, not oil, nor any materials which
strong nations of today did not have when they started to be a nation. We must recover our Determinants of National
Attributes. It must be our inherited DNA, and not tampered by the U.S. during their occupation in the 1900s.
It is our DNA of 1898, that we have lost today that we need to
recover. Only then can we even start to build a defense system that can equal the status that we had in the 1900s.
