RIGHT FOR A HABITAT


THE PREAMBLE OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS SAYS, "THE RECOGNITION OF THE INHERENT DIGNITY AND OF THE EQUAL  AND INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF ALL MEMBERS OF HUMAN FAMILY IS THE FOUNDATION OF FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND PEACE IN THE WORLD."

IT WAS ALSO STATED THERE THAT, "IT IS VERY ESSENTIAL IF MAN IS NOT TO BE COMPELLED TO HAVE RECOURSE, AS A LAST RESORT, TO REBELLION AGAINST TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION, THAT HUMAN RIGHTS SHOULD BE PROTECTED BY THE RULE OF LAW."

VARIOUS GROUPS AND ORGANIZATION LODGED THEIR PETITION TO THE UNITED NATIONS TO REAFFIRM THE HUMAN RIGHTS TO ADEQUATE HOUSING.  HOUSING IS A RIGHT OF EVERY HUMAN.

WE HAVE STILL PLENTY OF LANDS THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED INTO SOCIAL HOUSING. EVERY LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS ARE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING HOUSING FOR ITS DWELLERS. THIS WILL BE THE BEST SOLUTION FOR INFORMAL SETTLERS SPROUTING IN THE CITY.

FROM THE SENATORS DOWN TO BARANGAY CAPTAINS THEY HAVE SO-CALLED DEVELOPMENT FUNDS THAT WERE USED UNWISELY AND INDISCRIMINATELY. EVEN SK OR SANGGUNIANG KABATAAN CHAIRMAN HAVE THIS. 

EVEN TEN PERCENT (10%) OF THIS DEVELOPMENT FUNDS WERE USED FOR HOUSING, WE THE FILIPINO PEOPLE WILL NEVER BEGGED TO OTHER NATIONS TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR OUR PEOPLE.

OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS  ENJOYING THIS BASIC RIGHTS AND HAVE MORE HOUSES, WHILE THEIR CONSTITUENTS DEPRIVED THE RIGHT FOR A DECENT HABITAT.

Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
