Global forum on governance

THE 6th Global Forum on Reinventing Government opened this morning here in Seoul, Korea. Organized by the government of the Republic of Korea and the United Nations, the forum carries the theme, "Reinventing Government: Toward Participatory and Transparent Governance" and gathers heads and members of government and international organizations, business leaders, members of academe, media and civil society from over 140 countries. For four days, in plenary sessions and parallel workshops, the participants will discuss themes related to innovative governance, continuing on explorations made in earlier global forums in the U.S. (1999), Brazil (2000), Italy (2001), Morocco (2002), and Mexico (2003).

This forum is none the less ambitious than other similar initiatives. It wants not only to enable participating countries to exchange lessons drawn from our respective experiences with governance, but wants as well to identify areas of cooperation and lay the foundation for what it calls a "Global Network for Reinvention."

Every time, we hope the efforts indeed make a difference.

People are in doubt about what’s next after G.ARROYO.
What’s life after G.ARROYO? THERE SEEMS TO
PREVAIL PESSIMISM ON THE ABILITY
OF THE FILIPINO TO LEAD AND GOVERN
HONESTLY, WITH INTEGRITY AND DIGNITY.

THIS IS WRONG, ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

I AM OFFERING A FORMULA, THE MOTHER
OF ALL HOPES TO RESURRECT THE DEAD
SOUL OF BONIFACIO’S FILIPINO.

The formula comes from the mind of a poor
apolitical animal who knows much about
theory and practice of governance in our
country and overseas. This apolitical animal
came home from the cold, uncorrupted
and unscathed. So I am gladly sharing
with you his IGCRP. Read on…

WITH MALICE TOWARDS NONE THIS FORMULA IS
OFFERED TO THE PCIJ READERS AND THE FILIPINO PEOPLE:

INTERIM GOVERNMENT COUNCIL OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES (IGCRP)

RATIONALE

Upon resignation or removal of Mrs. Gloria M. Arroyo, the people of the Republic of the Philippines shall request the UN Secretary General Kopi Anan through the UNDP resident representative to appoint immediately a UN Secretary General Representative
(SGR- R.P.) to the Philippines (just like in Timor Lorosae) to carry out the duty of organizing the Interim Government Council of the Republic of the Philippines (IGCRP) and the Interim Criminal Courts (ICCRP) to conduct the trial of violators of the election law and relevant laws during the 2004 elections.

The primary function of the (SGR-RP) thru the help of local UNDP staff and UN Volunteers from overseas shall be to help the various sectors of society select their representative the Council (IGRCP) in terms of impartial policy and methodology, necessary administrative materials and administrative staff.

The Interim Government Council of the Republic of the Philippines (IGCRP) shall have a lifespan of one year unless extended by the UN Secretary General.

IGCRP’s primary function and responsibility shall be the preparation and conduct of a national election under UN supervision, nine (9) months after its formal creation and to issue interim policies to reform the bureaucracy. Its second important function is to organize an interim criminal court (ICC) to conduct trials of violators of the election law and if the IGCRP so decides to try those who have violated the Anti-graft Laws.

IGCRP shall effect the speedy reform of the Philippine bureaucracy by issuing policies governing resignation, compensation, and appointment to vacated positions.

IGCRP shall consider for decisions the possible resignation of the
FOLLOWING;

PC I J bloggers please recommend WHO ARE TO BE ASKED TO RESIGN, WHICH OFFICES SHOULD BE ABOLISHED BY THE COUNCIL.

ACTION

The Interim Government Council of the Republic of the Philippines (IGCRP) shall be composed of eleven members who are citizens only of the Philippines, who shall represent eleven sectors of the society and shall have been selected by the sectoral organizations and communities. A chairman/woman shall be elected by the eleven members from among themselves.
The UN SGRRP shall determine the modus operandi of the Council.

The eleven members (11) shall come from the following:

1) representative of all political parties, preferably non-elected and not appointed to any office by former Presidents Ramos, Estrada, and Arroyo;
2) representative of all NGOs which have not received any funding from the government from the time of former President Ramos;
3) representative of all business organizations who have not accepted any government position from the time of Prseident Ramos;
4) Representative of all Students Regent, Student Council Presidents of private and public Universities and Colleges;
5) Representative of Labor Organizations who have not held any elective or appointive position in the government from time of President Ramos;
6) Representative of the religious sector from the Catholic, Protestant, Iglesia ni Kristo and other sects;
7) Representative of Women’s Organizations who have held any elective or appointive office in the government

10) Representative of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) who have worked as OFW for at least 5 years;
11) Representative of Philippine Arts representing dance, music, theatre, cinema, literature.etc. who have not accepted any government position from the time of President Ramos.

SAFEGUARDS ON MEMBERS OF IGCRP

1) Members of IGCRP are not allowed to run for any elective office for at least two elections after the termination of IGCRP.
2) Members of IGCRP are prohibited from accepting any appointment in the government for at least five years from the termination of IGCRP.
3) As a reward for their patriotic service, IGCRP eleven members are automatically members or delegates to the constitutional convention IF CALLED BY by the elected officials in the first national election.

Something more follows:

SO MUCH HAS BEEN SAID BY BLOGGERS AND COMENTATORS ABOUT THE NEED FOR CHANGE.
BLOGGERS ARE NOW CHALLENGE TO OFFER THEIR OWN FORMULA.

SO MUCH HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT THE HOPELESSNESS OF THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION. THE SITUATIONS IN RWANDA, IN EAST TIMOR, IN DARFUR, IN AFGHANISTAN, IN RAQ, IN HAITI, ETC. WERE MUCH WORSE.

THIS IGCRP FORMULA IS ONLY THE FIRST SPERM FOR CHANGE, LET OTHERS PUT FORTH THEIR SPERM AND CONTEND TO FERTILIZE THAT ELUSIVE OVUM OF
HOPE FOR THE COUNTRY.

ASK YOUR QUESTIONS, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE
ABOUT THE IGCRP FORMULA. IF YOU THINK THIS FORMULA IS A GOOD START, SPREAD IT AROUND.

DO YOU THINK FILIPINOS CAN DO IT? I KNOW UN WILL HELP US DO IT.

SO IF YOU THINK THE FORMULA IS OKAY, LET US ALL, repeat LET US ALL WRITE KOFI ANAN FOR HELP AND LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW ABOUT IT.

we replace and replace our head until the right one that has a vision and the bones to that vision take its seat… but one thing im sure… its not the top 6 people in our country today…

1. gma
2. noli
3. drilon.
4. de vene
5. davide
6. exec sec.

this leader shall rise…this leader may in fact be active here in pcij… but this leader will not have a traditional method… everyone will think that he is an oppressor. to find out that that he was the blessing.

look at christ…

if we establish the IGCRP, Interim Government Council

the six people. the council should make sure they
are out of the running. please read and help polish
the IGCRP just above just comment. thanks

Nobody except you and all people who agree with you. Its a matter of numbers. If more people agree with you than agree with me then you get what you want. But first you have to show you have the numbers and that did not happen.

sinunod ko yung payo mo. sinampol
ko yung 166 comments, labinglima (15)
kayong halos pareho ang comment,
ayaw pag resigning si Gloria. Yun
namang tulad ko APATNAPU’T WALO
(48) three times as many. Yung
walang panig, bagamat sinabing nandaya
si gloria ay labing anim (16) . In terms
of percentage:

Gangster’s group is —-19 %
Group for resignation — 60%
noncomittal group —– 21%

Pag pinagsama yung nagsabing nandaya
81%. Parang resulta noong huling
survey yan bago nagkumpisal si gloria.
bagamat tila medio watered down ni
prof miranda, dapat plus 10 unfavorable
opinion against gloria..

ayun sabi ni Pimental checkmate na si gloria
DAPAT ISUNOD NA SI NOLI, MASAMA RIN
ANG RECORD NIYA SA TV.

MASASABI KO LANG SA INYO: TANGING LUNAS
SA BAYAN AY YUN INISIP KONG
“IGCRP” Interim Government Council
of the Republic of the Philippines.

THIS IS MY LAST COMMENT, SALAMAT
SA PCIJ. IT’S TIME WELL SPENT FOR
MY COUNTRY.
