Altho I would agree to most of what you've written here, it seems to me tho as a list of what the people needs to have (and I'm sure this country is aware of what they lack) and this list is not the way of how to improve them because the real problem in this country falls down to "how can we provide them". It's easy to say "Free healthcare for all" but HOW? Who doesn't want a Free Healthcare anyway?

Second, I disagree with "Elections overseen by the UN from start to finish" this is a free democratic country and having an international organization with an interest "monitoring" the election can be biased. I know the objectives of UN, but who controls the UN? What are their interest? Who are the members?

The real problem and solution in this country will never be answered with just election. This is true with other countries as well. We've seen them change position and passed laws but did anything change? Sadly, everyone views that election is the answer. If we want to change and improve this country, we have to start within ourselves and in our family because those politicians only have their interest in their minds.

I would like to see more Filipinos starting their own businesses here and employing Filipinos. Generate more jobs and produce Filipino-owned brands and products. If more Filipino become entrepreneurs then many Filipino wouldn't have to go elsewhere to find work. Education is also the key on changing things. Are we breeding the right values that will make this country prosper? Is national beliefs and pride alone can make this country united? Little things that we can do to change this nation if put together can create a national awakening against its status quo. If someone go beyond of daring to go against the core values that this country has which had impeded its growth, then we can see people starting to follow the way to change and development.
