Grant lands at the Kalayaan

A few weeks ago, the Chinese intimidated our Armed Forces in our very own waters, particularly the Kalayaan Group of Islands. Chinese wanted to be seen as the big bully who can do whatever it wants in other country’s territorial waters. Strangely, President Abnoy, the AFP and the Foreign Ministry would just investigate it. They could have filed a diplomatic protest but I guess they were scared of China. If they continue to do that then, we’ll end up one day being driven away but the Chinese. They’re now occupying the Kalayaan bit by bit.

It’s a given fact that most of us Filipinos are living below the poverty line. The government is even exacerbating the problem because of their program ‘Conditional Cash Transfer’ that encourages the poor and lazy people to double their laziness. Why would you find a job when the government will give you money on a monthly basis? The urban zones are also filled with squatters or euphemistically called informal settlers by the leftist pressure groups.

Because of the number of squatters in our urban areas, our government should grant lands at the Kalayaan Group of Islands. Tax incentives and monetary rewards should be given to those who would want to resettle there. That way, they can create new community that will help establish our presence in those islands. The government should also establish LGUs, Schools, Hospitals and Churches so that people will be persuaded to move there. If President Abnoy has political will, he can create this law as urgent. The money to fund for this land grant and monetary rewards can be taken from the Pork Barrels of our corrupt Congressmen and Senators.

The government could also declare it as free zones for squatters. We Filipinos are known as squatters nation so I don’t think we will have problem looking for people to squat every inch of the islands.

Kaya nga lang, the question is, if our congressmen are willing to let go of their pork barrels or even willing to listen to my suggestion. I don’t know why President Abnoy’s so called consultants and cabinet ministers weren’t able to come up with the same idea. Mahirap din talaga kung walang utak at duwag pa ang ating pangulo.
