Right off the bat, the impact of the economic crisis could be easier if the Philippine government – particularly this administration would follow this simple but viable directions. This is not revolutionary and this is even quite easy to follow.
The problem however, aside from the current economic crunch, is execution. Most of the problems at hand have an easy solution; the difficulty however is in the implementation of the solution or what they call “execution”.
Solutions to whatever difficulties we face are quite easy to handle, more often than not, everyone with an average intellect always have an option to pursue towards solving whatever impediment is placed before their perceived redemption.
When the problem is psychology, then the solution is also psychological. For this exercise however, the problem is economics and surprisingly – the solution is also economics.
When people do not have confidence, it is imperative for the government to spend more, to stimulate the economy. Spend more in infrastructure, in social services and above all else, in education. Hire more teachers, build more classrooms, train the teachers, and consciously build confidence by spending more to boost market stability.
Directly, this would stimulate the economy and stabilize its condition. A very good example of this approach is the rice debacle early this year. People were falling in long stretches of line just to purchase NFA rice; there was no money for the rice problem but the government persisted in subsidizing the price of rice and when people realized that hoarding only increases the price of rice, prices started to seek its own level and eventually came down.
Tax less. By taxing people less, means more money in their pocket and inevitably, this means more spending money. When people spend, the economy is stimulated. More goods are bought as well as services. By taxing less, the economy is actually protected and the market psychology tends to favor a potential bull run for the market, all in the hope and intention of weathering this economic difficulty.
The market paradox is that by taxing less, it shows governmental prudence, and whatever bear scare/scenario is in flavor, the present thrust is adequate to deal with the unwanted but inevitable market jitters.
Spend more and Tax less.

HSSD Technical Seminar (2nd Semester, SY 2008-09) by Ronan S. Estoque, DPA
“When Reforms Don’t Transform: Reflections on Philippine Education” Lecture by Ronan S. Estoque, DPA
Last Wednesday, November 12, 2008, majority of the faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Department of Technological Institute of the Philippines – Manila visited the campus of University of the Philippines – Diliman to attend a lecture whose title is also the title of this article.
The lecture was held in the newly refurbished National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (NISMED) Auditorium which was filled to the rafters. The lecture was aptly called as a UP Centennial Thematic Lectures and the speakers were Dr. Cynthia Banzon Bautista, Dr. Allan B.I Bernardo and Dr. Dina Ocampo.
The lecture was simultaneously participated by other branches of UP nationwide (e.g. UP Los Baños, UP Manila, UP Visayas and UP Mindanao) through the Internet.
The HSSD Faculty participants were:
1. Leticia Espina, MA
2. Aquilina Redo, MA
3. Corazon Gregrorio, MA
4. Marichelle Dones, MA
5. Lorna Wy, MA
6. Claudio Tabotabo, MA
7. Roman Leaño, MA
8. Benigno Faral, MA
9. Nazario Cebreros, MA
10. Johnif Baylon, MA
11. Ronan Estoque, DPA
There were so many considerable educational points raised and expounded but for the purpose of this article, three (3) contentions stood out.
1. One Size Fits – All Mentality in Education must cease. Students are individuals and as such, the adoption of the one size fits-all mentality is actually a disservice to the profession of teaching.
2. Language versus Learning. The Bilingual Education Policy (BEP) as well as the use of English as a medium of instruction is a failure. Once and for all, Filipinos must decide whether education should focus on Language or Learning. Do we want our students to be language proficient (in this case, English) or do we want Filipino students to acquire the so called learning competency.
3. Decentralization. The educational situation in Manila is far different in the educational situation in Cavite, Bulacan, Cebu or even in Muslim Mindanao. Why should imperial Manila dictate educational policies which would probably only work in Manila?
There were a lot of educational points worthy of consideration that were raised in the abovementioned lecture but suffice it to say here that the experience was worth the effort of transporting HSSD faculty to the premier university that is UP.

Amnestry: Rape girl, 13, killed for adultery
The title of this piece was taken from cnn.com webpage headline last November 2, 2008. According from the said article, the girl was stoned to death watched by at least 1,000 spectators in a packed stadium.
This happened in Somalia, specifically in Kismayo last October 27, 2008.
I really do not know a lot about the specifics of the story but suffice it to say that what caught my attention are two facts that are beyond any dispute.
1. The subject was the victim, why is she the one condemned and punished?
2. The victim was only 13 years old, assuming (by a generous bending of logic) that it was her fault, any decent country shouldn’t be executing individuals - especially if they are minors.
I am tempted to ask about the perpetrators of the rape. Where are they now? From the said article, they were three (3) and nothing was mentioned about them.
There must be really something wrong with the society when the accused suddenly becomes the accuser and are ironically sided by the authorities/government.
The background of the society and government that made this possible is that such is an impoverished mixture with a strong flavor of military adventurism and a religious Islamic fervor.
Somalia is a country wallowing in poverty with no functioning government, warlords have been battling for military supremacy since 1991 and the same cycle of violence and senseless killing and execution is still happening up to this very second.
“The child suffered a horrendous death at the behest of the armed opposition groups Kismayo”, this was according to David Copeman, an Amnesty International Somalia campaigner.
