How would you like to launch a historical fight against graft and corruption in the Philippines and bring good governance and morality in our government --- all for just a dollar?
You and I have always abhorred the pervasive corruption among our government officials in the Philippines and deplored the sad state of our country, where more than 30% of our people wallow in massive poverty. So, would you be willing to walk the talk and invest a dollar --- yes, one single US dollar, and, more importantly, your support and commitment --- in the fight against graft and corruption in the Philippines?
Our inspirations in this battle for national transformation are a man of God, the Reverend Father “Among Ed” Panlilio, the newly elected “Miracle” Governor of Pampanga, a man of dignity and integrity, and Tony Meloto, a champion of the Filipino spirit and the poor, the dynamo and power behind Gawad Kalinga.
What happened in that province is amazingly unbelievable. A humble priest, without political experience, without a bank account, without a political machinery, beating two “unbeatable” seasoned, well-funded, and powerful political giants. “Impossible,” said the political gurus when “Among Ed” first started his crusade. But the Greater Power above obviously had a grander plan for “Among Ed,” and proved the pundits wrong. Suddenly, there was hope for the Philippines.
Armed with his unblemished character, moral ascendancy, love of country, and a strong commitment to honesty and transparency in government, “Among Ed” handily won the election, in spite of widespread vote-buying and rampant cheating. It was evident that a visionary leader with integrity can truly inspire and bring out the best in the Filipino.
The billions of “missing” revenues from the Lahar collection in the past, which Governor Panlilio has exposed since he assumed office June 30, 2007, is only the tip of the iceberg of the invasive cancer of graft and corruption afflicting every level of government in the entire country.
Unfortunately, an honest man makes some people uncomfortable, so there is now a move to eliminate “Among Ed, or oust him thru a Recall, Recount, or, as rumored (hopefully not true), by “Requiem.”
Governor Panlilio has adopted Gawad Kalinga as the pillar of his vision for Pampanga and the nation. His crusade is gaining speed and momentum, and like the honorable Tony Meloto himself, and his GK, Among Ed and his mission for good governance will soon be unstoppable. Filipinos around the world are rejoicing and rallying behind him. And we want you to be a part of this historical transformation.
Come and fly high with this historic Dollar Moral Crusade, to get rid of plunderers among our government officials. Our country and our neglected poor need heroes like you in our battle for morality in government, for justice and dignity for our people. This is, indeed, a revolution. Not a revolution of arms where blood will be shed, but a revolution of ideals and of principle, where dreams and vision, sweat and tears shall bathe the nation clean.
A tall order? No. An impossible task? No, not with the Divine Providence and with YOU and people power! With these three components, nothing is impossible.
All this moral crusade needs is your personal commitment and moral support, an investment for the future of the Philippines. Let’s not miss this opportunity. Let’s use our power to help change our country for the better and lift our suffering fellowmen and their children out of the gutter of poverty, helplessness, hopelessness, and indignity.
