FROM: Arnulfo Laniba
RE : Vision for a Cost-Efficient School, Quality & Fast Education
Dear fellows:
Mission:
To provide each student a holistic education zeroing on in his talents (as God wills in Matthew 25 & Luke 19) which can make him independent (self-employed, not an employee, nor slave) in so short a time, e.g., even before the child reaches 15 years old, and ultimately, an enterprise (employer) even as early as 15 years old, then, finally, an industry (his talent becoming the skill and source of livelihood of the community) even when s/he is still in her/his twenties!
In short, a quick metamorphosis and evolution of a talent (seed) into enterprise (grown up tree) into industry (cluster of trees, forest).
The speed of learning will ensure us that long before they will get married, our children will have been successful already.
For this speedy and early talent-based mastery education, Charice Pempengko and also Manny Pacquiao is our living model and case study, in this type of education. Significantly and amazingly, there was no aid from the government, not even a support from a father (Charice’s father abandoned mother and child early in life) and no support from relatives and friends!, the mother and child was able to turn the later into an international singing phenomenon as early as when Charice was only 12 years old! And there was no huge financial capital spent, only an old cassette recorder and a microphone!
This is a very cheap – read: very affordable approach to education and success, it is an education which can enable everyone to finally live, survive and prosper in his native land, and there is no more need to suffer separation and find livelihood in another far away land that is hostile and merciless!
Let us save the lives of many brothers and sisters who have been forced to go out and search for the elusive income in Saudi Arabia, or in Canada, or in America. They are doing so in exchange for so much sufferings, sorrows and losses. Their marriages are breaking; their families disintegrating. Daily they face the abuses of their unmerciful employers who treat them as tools, not human beings.
The Talent-Based Fast Education (TFE) is an alternative to the long formal schooling that has been offered by the government and schools which end up our graduates into low-paying employment and grief-laden mystery-wrapped overseas employment – I said ‘mystery’ because until now they have kept so much information from us about what has happened to them, what is still happening to them. The only thing we could know is when one of them goes home on a coffin, or has disappeared forever untraceable, etc., etc.
The TFE is the implementation of our heavenly Father’s will in Matthew 25 (Parable of the Talents) and Luke 19 (Parable of the Pounds): EACH CHILD BORN ON EARTH IS GIVEN A SPECIAL TALENT OR TWO THAT SHE OR HE IS TO DEVELOP INTO SKILL AS SEED INTO A SEEDLING… INTO AN ENTERPRISE AS SEEDLING BECOMING A FULL-GROWN TREE…INTO AN INDUSTRY AS ONE FULL GROWN TREE BECOMING A FOREST!
One great example of a little least-expected talent is the music in Loboc town. It started with one man way back in Spanish occupation era, who taught music in the parish church to children.
After 400 years, that seed has become, not only a tree, but an industry. Industry means more than one child and person has become musician and singer. It is as if the whole town of Loboc has become musicians, composers and singers!
What a wonderful phenomenon!
In Loboc it is music. In Holland, may my memory still serves me, it is Phillips electric fluorescent lamps et al that has become an industry – the work and livelihood of a whole community or even country.
In Japan it is automobile, CD/DVD players, etc.
In Nokia country, it is the cellular phone.
In the Philippines, what will it be? Who can sow the seed and turn it into a forest? Helping so many people, giving jobs to many?
Answer: It will depend only on the talents the Good Lord has imbued the young Filipinos now.
And as parents and leaders, may we stop putting a cap to suppress their talents! The cap that we have been placing is the formal education which suppresses the talents of our children. Our formal education is – our formal schools are - leading our children away from their talents and into woks that serve only the employers who make products mostly harmful to the bodies and minds of the people!
Let us take another path! And this path is the Talent-Based Fast Education (TFE) taken by the Charice Pempengko and Manny Pacquio with only their mothers!!! No need of government help. No need of financing. No need of outside help – just the help and guidance of the Almighty All-loving Father in heaven. That’s all.
Our TFE implementation
The Venue & Locations:
• All 1-2 year Day Cares and the 1-year compulsory Kindergarten in each barangay;
• All Grades 1 to 6 centralized at the current Agsoso Elementary school campus;
• The planned High School shall be in Badbad Oriental where there is already a sufficient plain site and there is a better accessibility for all;
What shall be found and done in each campus? What is the curriculum?
1) All games and plays in Day Care and Kindergarten shall already be aimed to develop certain skills needed for work, leadership, freedom and adulthood.
2) The Agsoso Elementary School shall already contain MINI-SHOPS for basic talents and work skill such as carpentry, furniture, electronics, organic farming & livestock raising; baking and cooking; sewing/tailoring; music composition, accompaniment and singing, arts/painting; entrepreneurship, management and independence;
3) Each classroom in Badbad Or High School shall represent a skill or talent, as much as possible.
4) REAL SHOPS will complement each classroom. Example: One classroom for English plus one English-practice shop, where the children can practice speaking, writing English. One classroom for Electronics complemented by an Electronic Shop opposite to the location of the Electronic Classroom. Science Classroom shall be complemented by a well-equipped Science Laboratory;
5) From School shops to real world shops – that is, actual business shops where our pudents (pupils/students) can apprentice;
6) VENTURE CAPITAL – a source of capital and other resources to help each graduate establish his/her own shop or business based on the talent she/he has developed; Thus, the route prosperity has been unleased! What then shall we do to ensure that we will not repeat the error of the sunk continent of Atlantis? What was the error of Atlantis? Answer: Knowledge-Wisdom-Wealth puffed up, but love edifies. The Atlanteans became great in mind but not in heart. They lacked love.
7) From Day Care to High School: LOVE-Character Development or the CULTIVATION OF THE HEART/TEACHING OF LOVE AS THE FOUNDATION.
World’s Faulty Education – Cause of Misery
“the heart… is almost totally neglected and the worldly intellect alone educated. This is why there is so much evil among human beings because they have merely a brain and no heart. For that very reason I allow misery and misfortune in human society, so as to awaken the inner feeling, neglected or led astray in early life, and make the inner voice heard again, so that man may again learn to prefer spiritual well-being and advantage to worldly success. Through misery and ills I awaken the sleeping hearts. In their misery they then seek Me, whom in their life of pleasure they had quite forgotten.”
The Eternal Father Jehovah, Secrets of Life, p. 179:3-4
www.franky1.com
The seat of emotion or feelings – that is, the seat of love, which composes the foundation of character, morality and righteousness shall be given emphasis.
Humility or humble love, for example, is the trait the faithful angels held; this shall be developed instead of pride and arrogance, the trait Lucifer adopted. What is pride or arrogance? It is a form of perverted Love of Self (Self-Love). How to overcome proud or arrogant self-love? Love for God above all and Love for Neighbor shall be taught and awakened to temper Love of Self and its many manifestations, pride-arrogance among them; without sufficient Love for God and Neighbor, the Love of Self will become Selfish, Lustful, Greedy, Proud, Arrogant, Oppressive, Suppressive, Criminal.
Divine Love or perfect Love is complete love: It is Love for God, Love for Neighbor and Love for Self. Selfish Love or Selfish Self-love is a conglomeration of bad traits including pride and arrogance.
Divine Love is the anti-dote of Selfish Love or perverted Love. By divine Love, you can overcome the wrong self-love. That is to say, with Love for God and Neighbor, you can temper your love for your self. You can prevent over-loving your self if you have love for God and neighbor.
It is to say, you will not become selfish (thereby hurting others, displeasing God) if you have love for God and your fellowmen. Self-love will not pervert if you have love for God and neighbor. If you have compassion for the poor, your self-love will pervert into cruelty and pride.
The failure to teach and mold the heart in the church, and both at home and in school is the main cause why fruits of perverted Self-love abound. What are the fruits of perverted self-love? They are: lack of unity and much disunity, lack of harmony and much disharmony, lack of loyal friendship and much treachery and betrayals, lack of teamwork and much competition, lack of cooperation and much division, lack of appreciation of the good of others and much envy and jealousy; in short, lack of deep love for the fellowmen and much apathy and hate, lack of overriding love and respect for God and His creation and much ingratitude and sacrilege.
What the Churches and Homes failed to do is the cultivation of love in the heart. The Churches focused on cold FAITH, a.k.a., intellectual religion, preventing the awakening of love in the heart. Faith should lead to the awakening of the love in the heart. Faith is in the mind; love is in the heart. Faith is useless unless it leads to the fulfillment of the great commandment and aim To Love God above all and the neighbor. The up-to-faith-only churches exposed our children to pride and arrogance. So, when they climbed up to college and get diplomas, they became ‘high class’ forgetting the soil which fed them when they were still young, now they think that money feed them. They forget the soil of God and worship the money of this evil system. Compassion for their old folks become minimal; for many of them who have reached the great cities and high pedestal of success and wealth, connection to their poor parents and origin is cut. They forgot their origin. They forgot their poor parents. They forgot their poor relatives. They scorn the poor.
They hate the land. They shun agriculture. They consider agriculture as an inferior course or career. To them, soil is dirty. To them, a glass or white-painted wall is class.
So, on and on, ‘educated’ people shun the land, hate the soil, spurn God’s ground for the training of humility and appreciation. They become proud, arrogant, vain.
Lucifer and his hosts fell because of pride and arrogance.
We must beware lest our children be educated in their hearts with pride and arrogance. The sad thing is: they are already stamped with this evil germ of pride and arrogance!
It should be noted that Character Development thru Love-Cultivation is done at home first. The school shall serve as extension ground for such learning, for the school can serve as the broader ground to practice love for neighbor and God.
• In each of the five Day Care and Kindergarten campuses: safety campus, with fence if possible to protect from moving vehicles, kidnappers and from cliffs, etc; child-friendly playground;
• books and teachings tools which develop the whole personality of the child-pupil-student, namely: spirit-heart (the seat of emotion), soul-mind (the seat of thoughts) and the physical body;
• Especially in the elementary but most especially in high school:
1. One Classroom for every Subject (for the Theory)
2. One Workshop Room or Shop for every Subject (for the Pseudo-Practice or Initial Practice)
For example: There is a classroom for English and there is a corresponding English Practice Room with all the necessary tools, equipment, instruments, exercises, etc. to serve as pseudo-experience for the student to learn English, both in writing and speaking.
There is a Science Room and there is a corresponding Science Laboratory where Science is applied using tools such as microscope, etc.
There is a classroom for lecture in Carpentry/Furniture and there is a corresponding Shop for practice complete with the tools and machineries.
There is a classroom for Electronics lecture and its corresponding Shop Room for practice in electronics.
There is a classroom for the subject of Baking and there is a corresponding Practice Room for practice of baking.
This is the same for each subject and all subjects.
• SME-Industry Link. After the Initial Practice or Pseudo-Practice in the school’s shop, kitchen or laboratory, the graduating students are sent to partner Small & Medium Enterprises to work or practice as apprenticeships to perform the specific subjects or course
School’s Financial Sustainability:
Where do or will we source our funds for:
• the construction of classrooms and mini-shops, real shops
• salaries of teachers and administrators;
• books and other teaching materials;
• maintenance of the schools;
Sources of income and resources:
• Agsoso Elementary School Alumni Association (AESAA);
• Foreign and local foundations;
• The 40% share of the revenue of the water of Badbad Oriental-Badbad Occidental, Agsoso, Quinubcoban barangays;
• Turn the watershed into Orchard (fruit bearing trees), not just forest lumber trees: To be managed by AESAA and AESPTA (Agsoso Elementary School Parents-Teachers Association);
• Earnings of the school mini-shops, read shops;
• Earnings of the school-directed VENTURE CAPITALS/student business partnerships;
• Donations from successful students turned entrepreneurs, etc.;
May this will set the starting point of what I hope to be finally a reality not so long into the feature: The hands-on school that we are envisioning.
More ideas may be added…

SCHOOL EVOLUTION- NEW PARADIGM IN PACE WITH NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND NEW ERA MINDSET
SCHOOL EVOLUTION- NEW PARADIGM IN PACE WITH NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND NEW ERA MINDSET
What can PMI further help her mariners and nautical engineers?
So far, Philippine Maritime Institute or PMI has made the distinction that it has sent countless of Filipinos to the seas overseas as well-paid mariners and nautical engineers.
How many families have been liberated from debts and poverty? How many poor parents have tasted the life of abundance? How many wives have lived a life of luxury – in beautiful houses akin to mansions, provided with the present-day gadgets and appliances which make life easy, convenient and luxurious? How many children have been sent to expensive and quality schools?
Thanks to PMI which has been providing quality maritime education to our men, this life of ease and comfort was made possible. Our mariners and nautical engineers are among the highest paid workers. Their salaries exceed the basic needs of the family. Hence, they are able to buy luxurious things and live the life of the rich.
The earning of big income among our men is, to me, the greatest contribution PMI has done to the nation.
Now, as the new age comes in and the new century moves on, we ask: Is there something more that PMI can do to the nation? Not to stop what it has been doing for the nation, what more can PMI do for the greater freedom of the nation?
To answer this, let us proceed to the need that PMI and all has left off. This need has remained unsatisfactorily answered until now.
What is this need?
Answer: The need to make the income of our seamen profitable and able to generate more money, more gains, even employment. In other words, the need to stop the present state where the money of our seamen and all other OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) are spent as ‘dead expense’ – virtually, there is no ‘spending’ which we can consider as investment – family spendings are all ‘consuming’ and in many cases, ‘health-destroying’!
Thus, the life of convenience the family experiences is not sustainable unless the seaman keeps going back to the seas! This life of riches is attained at the cost of losing the family man (husband/father) almost all of the time – every year, year by year… and we know what further more painful costs this has already brought upon the members of the family: marital infidelities which resulted to marital break-up, juvenile delinquencies (children are the most affected).
How to make this huge income of the seamen and other OFWs not just last longer, but become an investment, giving the family and the nation growth and development in all aspects of life, and secondly, cutting short the time for the seaman to leave his beloved family? More concretely, is there a way – a system and technology - by which instead of working as seaman away from home all his life, he can go home at an earlier age, say, 40, and be with his family without lowering the standard of life he has given to his family?
This is where PMI can provide an add-on service to her mariners and nautical engineers. This is a great opportunity which PMI can pioneer among other maritime schools or other schools for that matter.
In the fact that PMI or any other establishment has given families high income, how will PMI help her rich alumni make their riches profitable, productive and sustainable?
From my 40 years of research and over 20 years of business and development works, I have only one compact answer: TEACH OUR SEAMEN AND OFWs, or their families, ORGANIC AGRI-BUSINESS!
Why organic? Organic because that is the key to sustainability.
Why agri-business? Agri-business because it is also the key to sustainability.
We wish to spend a lot of time and space for this very important topic and direction of our families and nation. But to start, may I quote to you my article on Organic Farming as the primary direction of the nation for the new era.
This will give you the main idea.
ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IS THE WAY FOR THE PHILIPPINES TO GO
IN THIS CENTURY
To catch up with the very technically-mechanically advanced countries, will not be possible to us, or perhaps only by a handful of us; but I am referring to the vast majority of our countrymen. The Filipinos will be much wiser if we, parents, expend our P10 program to the training and fielding many of our children to ORGANIC FARMING – herbs, vegetables, spices, flowers and the much desired fruits.
Look, I have the following reasons why I campaign – have been campaigning - for a mass-return to agriculture:
1. Money or dollar, we must now more wisely know, is not the wealth – HEALTH IS THE WEALTH!
2. Gadgets too, and appliances are not going to give us health, but laziness, obesity, and lots of terminal diseases from being obese!
3. In countries who majored gadgets and appliances and abandoned agriculture, such as us and the USA, there is much confusion, aimlessness (as shown by many drug addicts), unhappiness.
4. It seems to me, that a world of gadget-appliances is full of laziness and God is not a God of laziness because He said, “You shall work for six days and rest only in the 7th as the holy Sabbath.” In God’s world, which this world is not, there is no sitting down in front of TV almost the whole day, but lots of work under the sun, much sweating, not sedentary lifestyle which induces cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes, rheumatism, etc. There is much health, muscles, strengths in work that produces honest sweats!
5. Don’t you realize that we have been violating God’s commandment to work 6 days? In these 6 days, TV watching, entertainment, games, sitting down, gambling, are not allowed! God said, You shall work, not sit down to be entertained, six days a week! That’s in Exodus 20.
6. Much of our misfortune, failure, losses, bankruptcy, lack of productivity, lack of profitability, poverty, misery CAN BE TRACED TO OUR LOUSY OBSERVANCE OF THE 6-DAY WORK-ONE-DAY REST COMMANDMENT!
7. The processed foods contain chemicals and, whether we accept it or not, all chemicals are by nature poisonous. They only differ in time and potency, but all chemicals are not fit to enter our body. They are toxic, even though the effect may be gradual. But it will catch us up, say, when we reach 50 or 40 years old. And then the regrets. And then, the massive out-waste of whatever savings we might have made in our whole lifetime, then, also the earnings of our children, will be sacrificed! See? So, we need to go back to ORGANIC FOOD.
8. Also, and here is where we can help, serve as well as earn at the same time, other nations in agriculture rather than if we continue with our industrial ambition: I believe their soil is the most poisoned compared to ours, for the flowing reasons:
a. Industrialized countries are older countries than us; they had exploited their soil longer than we do ours;
b. They have been the first and therefore longer in using the chemical fertilizers and pesticides that kill and poison the soil; This resulted to their soil being more dead than ours;
9. If they will return to organic farming instantly, e.g., drastic stop in using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, their more dead soil will not be able to give yield (fruits). There will be no harvest. I am 100.1 % sure of that. Only the chemical fertilizer is presently giving yield to their grains and fruits, giving ‘life’ to their vegetables, thus, artificial yield, full of chemicals, full of disease-causing substances.
10. Now, a growing number of Americans et al are awakening to the danger of chemicals used as fertilizers and pesticides and they want to go organic, but they are faced with the harsh option, namely: if they stop using chemicals, no yield will result. So, if they stay with their own soil, they have only two choices: (1) CONTINUE WITH CHEMICAL FARMING & SUFFER THE INCREASING CANCERS FOR THE YEARS TO COME, OR (2) DRASTIC STOP IN CHEMICAL FARMING, GO ORGANIC, BUT FOR THE FIRST 5 TO 10 YEARS, THE SOIL WILL NOT YET BE ABLE TO GIVE ANY SUBSTANTIAL YIELD WHICH MAY MEAN HUNGER, UNDER-NUTRITION, UNDER-NOURISHMENT which is very dangerous because there hiding in their body fats (and Americans are mostly fat), lots of chemicals and cancer agents are laying in wait, which will suddenly rise up, if the immune system of the people suddenly slow down due to less food, these cancer agents will rise up and eat the fats and cause the body to decay; hence, more cancer!
11. So, the USA, Europe, Japan, et al need other faster option, while they work hard to heal their soil, and this faster option is namely: to contract other nations to produce organic food for them, while they are busy working for their deader soil to return to organic. I’m informed that Negros Province, Philippines, has been contracted by Japan and EU to produce organic sugar, organic vegetables, etc. Negros is thus setting the trend of what I envision the Philippines will go in the next years and onward: FEED THE WORLD WITH ORGANIC FOOD. Negros is the pilot. And we shall follow though.
12. EVEN IF WE DON’T REALIZE IT AND EVEN IF THEY DON’T SAY IT, they need us. We can help…. If we just open our eyes of brotherly love. And only then will we be blessed, for giving love to our global neighbors and brothers.
That is the way the Philippines should go from now on….
TOO LATE [NOT PRUDENT] TO COMPETE THE JAPS, GERMANS & AMERICANS
I have already noticed the sad situation of us, Filipinos trying to copy and overtake the Japanese, Taiwanese, Americans, Germans, Europeans SPECIFICALLY IN INDUSTRIAL FIELDS, a.k.a. in manufacturing.
We are decades or even century behind in science and technology, in the know-how in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and the likes.
There may be a few exceptional Filipinos whom these foreigner countries adopt through scholarships and employment to become THEIRS! But we are talking of the 99% of the Filipino men, and also women who are not scholars.
For them, I have no better RECIPE OR FORMULA OF SUCCESS AND STABILITY EXCEPT THIS: THE LAND (that is, agri-business) + TALENTS + THE NR EDUCATION.
When I mentioned “the Land,” I refer to livelihood based on the land. This includes farming as well as livestock.
With the emergence of ORGANIC FARMING, we can aim high, in the arena of global trade and commerce. What is the high aim? TO SUPPLY ORGANIC SPICES, VEGETABLES & FRUITS TO THE INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES!
Quickly see that in this scenario, Filipinos are no longer going to compete with YOU-ropeans and YOU-nited States of America et al. You go on with YOUR manufacturing, and we will go on with our FARMING to feed you with healthy, nutritious food.
This is relevant if we consider the community of nations as a team or family. You who are brighter, take care of the manufacturing of music gadgets, and the likes, while we, who are inferior intellectually will concentrate in FOOD PRODUCTION.
To succeed in this, the land in the Philippines must be freed from the hacienderos and be equally distributed to every family, e.g., 3 to 5 hectares per family. No land will be granted unless the recipient will cultivate it personally or through the help of some fellow farmers. No more hacienderos, to be exact.
Imagine each household teeming with vegetables and fruits. That is where the Filipinos will succeed and find happiness. The Filipinos find the niche in farming if we realize and see that all over the world, but especially in the industrialized countries, the soil has been double dead due to the use and over-use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
In my calculation, the soil in Germany and USA and other older, industrialized nations are dead and deadly simply because of the aforementioned reasons: they are old and have been longer in using chemical fertilizers and pesticides and also, they have put into their soil not to mention air, water, more chemicals than other nations.
As they become aware of the danger their soil is now giving them, they would consider stopping own farming and go to other lands to buy grains, vegetables and fruits. More and more number of their citizens are coming to realize that their soil are now very dangerous, and how difficult to stop using the chemical fertilizers for the simple reason that the soil, being dead, will no longer give yield without the chemical fertilizers, which are the givers of artificial fruits.
So, my fellow Filipinos, if we are entrepreneurial or enterprising enough, find the niche: ORGANIC FOOD FOR OUR INDUSTRIALIZED NEIGHBORS-NATIONS!
HOW THE INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES CAN HELP THE PHILIPPINES NOT COMPETE THEM BUT SUPPLY THEM WITH ORGANIC FOOD?
Japan, Europe, America must let our Overseas Workers go home so we can all concentrate in food production. These manufacturing countries shall help us restore our damaged farms, make farm terraces, and refill them with organic soil.
Instead of worrying about immigrants, the rich manufacturing nations must consider helping poor countries succeed in farming so all those migrants, immigrants can go home. For the USA, Europe, et al, no more threat of being out-populated by immigrants.
Instead of maltreating us, you should let us go home? How? Give us a plane ticket back home? No, for as we arrive home, the poverty here will drive us again to go back to Japan, et al, where we are treated as undesirables and exploitables!
You can practice brotherhood for the heavenly Father’s sake, not by accepting 200,000 Filipinas as entertainers a.k.a prostitutes in Japan, but by helping the fathers and husbands of these 200,000 young Filipinas in our farming et al and thus, these Japayukes (Filipina prostitutes in Japan) can go home and stay home!!!??
Though this is not a Complain Desk or a Distress Bureau, against Japan, yet, we have from our ancestors what we call “gaba”. It is a retribution or more specifically, a judgment or punishment from the Almighty if we suffer the oppression, do not hold a grudge but bear it more with patience and forgiveness, which we, Filipinos, do often exercise. Look, you cannot find in our hearts that we keep some hatred against the Japanese who raped our grandmothers, mothers, aunts, or who tossed up our young infants in the air to be caught or charged with the knife in their long gun’s tip (it is known as bayoneta).
We came to know their atrocities, and have been astonished, but look, you cannot find in our hearts that we care revenge against them. In fact, we even hold the Japanese in high respect.
Yes, despite what they are doing to our thousands of Japayukes.
If the Japanese were compassionate to their foreign brethren and not limit their compassion to their fellow Japanese, they would intervene with their industrial and financial might to help us, poor and weak Filipino men, to get lifted up, and succeed here in our villages, so that we will no longer see, to our hearts bleeding with blood, our beloved mothers and wives and sisters and daughters go to Japan!
Thus, to you, our Japanese brothers, consider what I have said here now, because if you will not recognize the universal brotherhood of all mankind and continue to oppress and take advantage of the poor and weak, how will our common God and Creator bless you and protect your from nuclear plant explosion and melting or from tsunamis?
I am asking you so that we together can ascend back to the sphere of true love and eternal life. Do not acquire your existence, sustenance or luxury by making others cry and die!!!
Please…….!
My heart has been bleeding for so many years now…because of this that you do to us, the monkeys and the turtles of this civilized mankind! Just think and try to feel if your wife or sister or daughter is made into sex objects by love-less men of lust! Would you be happy?
Do not worship your false god of Science and Technology and Industry, your secondary and frontal god, where you have been placing your confidence and pride. Your pride, which is selflove, which is your primary and more subtle god behind your god Science and Technology & Industry, will not see your through for pride precedes every fall.
Japan’s salvation rests in your move to return to the God of Meduhed, the founder and patriarch of Japan. This God of Patriarch Meduhed is the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This is the same God the Japanese abandoned when they turned to worship their arts and sculptures, the first work of their hands and then to the other works of their hands, namely: through Science and Technology and Industry. (The Household of God, vol. 1, www.franky1.com). The same God came down and was name Jesus Emmanuel of Nazareth, not the other Jesus.
To avail genuine salvation, all has to go to the genuine Savior. He is not the present Jesus whom the Americans and the Catholics and so-called majority Christians are worshiping now! He is not!

Look, I have the following reasons why I campaign – have been campaigning - for a mass-return to agriculture:
1. Money or dollar, we must now more wisely know, is not the wealth – HEALTH IS THE WEALTH!
2. Gadgets too, and appliances are not going to give us health, but laziness, obesity, and lots of terminal diseases from being obese!
3. In countries who majored gadgets and appliances and abandoned agriculture, such as us and the USA, there is much confusion, aimlessness (as shown by many drug addicts), unhappiness.
4. It seems to me, that a world of gadget-appliances is full of laziness and God is not a God of laziness because He said, “You shall work for six days and rest only in the 7th as the holy Sabbath.” In God’s world, which this world is not, there is no sitting down in front of TV almost the whole day, but lots of work under the sun, much sweating, not sedentary lifestyle which induces cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes, rheumatism, etc. There is much health, muscles, strengths in work that produces honest sweats!
5. Don’t you realize that we have been violating God’s commandment to work 6 days? In these 6 days, TV watching, entertainment, games, sitting down, gambling, are not allowed! God said, You shall work, not sit down to be entertained, six days a week! That’s in Exodus 20.
6. Much of our misfortune, failure, losses, bankruptcy, lack of productivity, lack of profitability, poverty, misery CAN BE TRACED TO OUR LOUSY OBSERVANCE OF THE 6-DAY WORK-ONE-DAY REST COMMANDMENT!
7. The processed foods contain chemicals and, whether we accept it or not, all chemicals are by nature poisonous. They only differ in time and potency, but all chemicals are not fit to enter our body. They are toxic, even though the effect may be gradual. But it will catch us up, say, when we reach 50 or 40 years old. And then the regrets. And then, the massive out-waste of whatever savings we might have made in our whole lifetime, then, also the earnings of our children, will be sacrificed! See? So, we need to go back to ORGANIC FOOD.
8. Also, and here is where we can help, serve as well as earn at the same time, other nations in agriculture rather than if we continue with our industrial ambition: I believe their soil is the most poisoned compared to ours, for the flowing reasons:
a. Industrialized countries are older countries than us; they had exploited their soil longer than we do ours;
b. They have been the first and therefore longer in using the chemical fertilizers and pesticides that kill and poison the soil; This resulted to their soil being more dead than ours;
9. If they will return to organic farming instantly, e.g., drastic stop in using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, their more dead soil will not be able to give yield (fruits). There will be no harvest. I am 100.1 % sure of that. Only the chemical fertilizer is presently giving yield to their grains and fruits, giving ‘life’ to their vegetables, thus, artificial yield, full of chemicals, full of disease-causing substances.
10. Now, a growing number of Americans et al are awakening to the danger of chemicals used as fertilizers and pesticides and they want to go organic, but they are faced with the harsh option, namely: if they stop using chemicals, no yield will result. So, if they stay with their own soil, they have only two choices: (1) CONTINUE WITH CHEMICAL FARMING & SUFFER THE INCREASING CANCERS FOR THE YEARS TO COME, OR (2) DRASTIC STOP IN CHEMICAL FARMING, GO ORGANIC, BUT FOR THE FIRST 5 TO 10 YEARS, THE SOIL WILL NOT YET BE ABLE TO GIVE ANY SUBSTANTIAL YIELD WHICH MAY MEAN HUNGER, UNDER-NUTRITION, UNDER-NOURISHMENT which is very dangerous because there hiding in their body fats (and Americans are mostly fat), lots of chemicals and cancer agents are laying in wait, which will suddenly rise up, if the immune system of the people suddenly slow down due to less food, these cancer agents will rise up and eat the fats and cause the body to decay; hence, more cancer!
11. So, the USA, Europe, Japan, et al need other faster option, while they work hard to heal their soil, and this faster option is namely: to contract other nations to produce organic food for them, while they are busy working for their deader soil to return to organic. I’m informed that Negros Province, Philippines, has been contracted by Japan and EU to produce organic sugar, organic vegetables, etc. Negros is thus setting the trend of what I envision the Philippines will go in the next years and onward: FEED THE WORLD WITH ORGANIC FOOD. Negros is the pilot. And we shall follow though.
12. EVEN IF WE DON’T REALIZE IT AND EVEN IF THEY DON’T SAY IT, they need us. We can help…. If we just open our eyes of brotherly love. And only then will we be blessed, for giving love to our global neighbors and brothers.
That is the way the Philippines should go from now on….
TOO LATE [NOT PRUDENT] TO COMPETE THE JAPS, GERMANS & AMERICANS
I have already noticed the sad situation of us, Filipinos trying to copy and overtake the Japanese, Taiwanese, Americans, Germans, Europeans SPECIFICALLY IN INDUSTRIAL FIELDS, a.k.a. in manufacturing.
We are decades or even century behind in science and technology, in the know-how in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and the likes.
There may be a few exceptional Filipinos whom these foreigner countries adopt through scholarships and employment to become THEIRS! But we are talking of the 99% of the Filipino men, and also women who are not scholars.
For them, I have no better RECIPE OR FORMULA OF SUCCESS AND STABILITY EXCEPT THIS: THE LAND (that is, agri-business) + TALENTS + THE NR EDUCATION.
When I mentioned “the Land,” I refer to livelihood based on the land. This includes farming as well as livestock.
With the emergence of ORGANIC FARMING, we can aim high, in the arena of global trade and commerce. What is the high aim? TO SUPPLY ORGANIC SPICES, VEGETABLES & FRUITS TO THE INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES!
Quickly see that in this scenario, Filipinos are no longer going to compete with YOU-ropeans and YOU-nited States of America et al. You go on with YOUR manufacturing, and we will go on with our FARMING to feed you with healthy, nutritious food.
This is relevant if we consider the community of nations as a team or family. You who are brighter, take care of the manufacturing of music gadgets, and the likes, while we, who are inferior intellectually will concentrate in FOOD PRODUCTION.
To succeed in this, the land in the Philippines must be freed from the hacienderos and be equally distributed to every family, e.g., 3 to 5 hectares per family. No land will be granted unless the recipient will cultivate it personally or through the help of some fellow farmers. No more hacienderos, to be exact.
Imagine each household teeming with vegetables and fruits. That is where the Filipinos will succeed and find happiness. The Filipinos find the niche in farming if we realize and see that all over the world, but especially in the industrialized countries, the soil has been double dead due to the use and over-use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
In my calculation, the soil in Germany and USA and other older, industrialized nations are dead and deadly simply because of the aforementioned reasons: they are old and have been longer in using chemical fertilizers and pesticides and also, they have put into their soil not to mention air, water, more chemicals than other nations.
As they become aware of the danger their soil is now giving them, they would consider stopping own farming and go to other lands to buy grains, vegetables and fruits. More and more number of their citizens are coming to realize that their soil are now very dangerous, and how difficult to stop using the chemical fertilizers for the simple reason that the soil, being dead, will no longer give yield without the chemical fertilizers, which are the givers of artificial fruits.
So, my fellow Filipinos, if we are entrepreneurial or enterprising enough, find the niche: ORGANIC FOOD FOR OUR INDUSTRIALIZED NEIGHBORS-NATIONS!
HOW THE INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES CAN HELP THE PHILIPPINES NOT COMPETE THEM BUT SUPPLY THEM WITH ORGANIC FOOD?
Japan, Europe, America must let our Overseas Workers go home so we can all concentrate in food production. These manufacturing countries shall help us restore our damaged farms, make farm terraces, and refill them with organic soil.
Instead of worrying about immigrants, the rich manufacturing nations must consider helping poor countries succeed in farming so all those migrants, immigrants can go home. For the USA, Europe, et al, no more threat of being out-populated by immigrants.
Instead of maltreating us, you should let us go home? How? Give us a plane ticket back home? No, for as we arrive home, the poverty here will drive us again to go back to Japan, et al, where we are treated as undesirables and exploitables!
You can practice brotherhood for the heavenly Father’s sake, not by accepting 200,000 Filipinas as entertainers a.k.a prostitutes in Japan, but by helping the fathers and husbands of these 200,000 young Filipinas in our farming et al and thus, these Japayukes (Filipina prostitutes in Japan) can go home and stay home!!!??
Though this is not a Complain Desk or a Distress Bureau, against Japan, yet, we have from our ancestors what we call “gaba”. It is a retribution or more specifically, a judgment or punishment from the Almighty if we suffer the oppression, do not hold a grudge but bear it more with patience and forgiveness, which we, Filipinos, do often exercise. Look, you cannot find in our hearts that we keep some hatred against the Japanese who raped our grandmothers, mothers, aunts, or who tossed up our young infants in the air to be caught or charged with the knife in their long gun’s tip (it is known as bayoneta).
We came to know their atrocities, and have been astonished, but look, you cannot find in our hearts that we care revenge against them. In fact, we even hold the Japanese in high respect.
Yes, despite what they are doing to our thousands of Japayukes.
If the Japanese were compassionate to their foreign brethren and not limit their compassion to their fellow Japanese, they would intervene with their industrial and financial might to help us, poor and weak Filipino men, to get lifted up, and succeed here in our villages, so that we will no longer see, to our hearts bleeding with blood, our beloved mothers and wives and sisters and daughters go to Japan!
Thus, to you, our Japanese brothers, consider what I have said here now, because if you will not recognize the universal brotherhood of all mankind and continue to oppress and take advantage of the poor and weak, how will our common God and Creator bless you and protect your from nuclear plant explosion and melting or from tsunamis?
I am asking you so that we together can ascend back to the sphere of true love and eternal life. Do not acquire your existence, sustenance or luxury by making others cry and die!!!
Please…….!
My heart has been bleeding for so many years now…because of this that you do to us, the monkeys and the turtles of this civilized mankind! Just think and try to feel if your wife or sister or daughter is made into sex objects by love-less men of lust! Would you be happy?
Do not worship your false god of Science and Technology and Industry, your secondary and frontal god, where you have been placing your confidence and pride. Your pride, which is selflove, which is your primary and more subtle god behind your god Science and Technology & Industry, will not see your through for pride precedes every fall.
Japan’s salvation rests in your move to return to the God of Meduhed, the founder and patriarch of Japan. This God of Patriarch Meduhed is the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This is the same God the Japanese abandoned when they turned to worship their arts and sculptures, the first work of their hands and then to the other works of their hands, namely: through Science and Technology and Industry. (The Household of God, vol. 1, www.franky1.com). The same God came down and was name Jesus Emmanuel of Nazareth, not the other Jesus.
To avail genuine salvation, all has to go to the genuine Savior. He is not the present Jesus whom the Americans and the Catholics and so-called majority Christians are worshiping now! He is not!
