THE PRO-POOR MANIFESTO OF 2011
The time has come for all Filipinos to acknowledge the reality that HUNGER as a social problem has now reached alarming critical levels, and therefore it is time to declare a STATE OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
We the signatories of this manifesto hereby declare a STATE OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY in order to address the problem of HUNGER on our own, and we at the same time call upon the GOVERNMENT to do the same, to also declare a STATE OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY on its own, in order to make this declaration OFFICIAL.
We the signatories of this manifesto hereby call upon all Filipinos everywhere, those who are in the Philippines and those who are overseas, to acknowledge the following realities:
About 50% of Filipinos now consider themselves to be POOR;
About 25% of Filipinos have experienced HUNGER at least once for the past three months;
About 10% of Filipinos have a life threatening SICKNESS and are in danger of dying because they could not afford medical care, and many of them could die without even seeing a doctor;
About 5% of Filipinos are now HOMELESS, not counting those who are living in shanties and makeshift dwellings under subhuman conditions.
We the signatories of this manifesto hereby call upon the GOVERNMENT to immediately implement the following programs:
POVERTY MAPPING- To establish a database of POOR Filipinos, in order to know who they are, and where they are, down to the barangay level;
FOOD BANK- To establish a system of feeding the HUNGRY by collecting surplus foodstuffs from food companies and restaurants, in exchange for tax credits;
HEALTH CARD- To establish a system of giving identity cards to indigent Filipinos who are suffering from SICKNESS, so that they could see a doctor and avail of medical care;
HOMELESS SHELTERS- To establish a system of providing temporary shelters so that HOMELESS Filipinos could have a place to during the night, with breakfast in the morning.
We the signatories of this manifesto hereby call upon the private sector to support the GOVERNMENT in implementing the above programs as soon as possible.
