In line with this proposal... it will also be advisable if the government can propose a law that will state that before a person will be permitted to buy a car or register his car he must be able to present a proof or a document that will certify that he has the lot area or proper space where he can park or accomodate his car...in essence it should be a "NO PARKING SPACE; NO CAR" law this will eliminate the amount of cars parked on the streets... actually the street should be used for moving vehicles only and should not be used for parking... just like in singapore.

Modify the emission testing required for renewal and application of motor vehicles.  Gawin nila mga 3x a year.  It's useless kung once a year lang gagawin; every renewal of vehicle.  You want proof that it's useless?  Drive around and wonder kung paano pumasa ng emission testing ang mga kasama mo sa daan.

 

Same goes for the drug testing.  It's soooo useless kung every 4 years lang gagawin yan.  Just abstain from using drugs for 2 weeks prior to drug testing; better yet, magbayad ka na lang para pasado ang drug testing mo.

 

Create bicycle lane/motorcycle lane (no tricycles or pedicabs please) at major urban roads.  Right now ay not safe kasi eh, plus para maenganyohan ang iba na magmotor na lang kaysa magkotse (1 person/car?!?)

point taken there, actually when i was thinking about this idea that was one of the drawbacks i had... the fear that there might be imbalance and the three islands might want to be independent from the others. but what i was thinking is that if malacañang can pull off with this idea and satisfy the whole nation, i don't think they will think of separating from the country. Another thing perhaps another way to ensure that no island will breakout from the country is to centralize international trade and relationship through metro manila or should i say all vital part of the nation such as executive, judiciary, legislative and defense forces should be centralized in the capital.

this project i think will take a long time to implement... five to ten years estimated... it will be something that will start from scratch for major part of the country.... this is where the funds of the congressmen play a vital role... this time it should be properly documented. another important aspect of this proposal is the principle of "continuity" of course it will take around two administrations to complete the proposal, so it is very important that the succeeding government will commit to continue the plan.

again it is just a dream... hopefully it will come true some time in the near future.

Very novel an idea here.

 

On the first goal, regions with large populations will demand the lion's share of that reallocation of resources. With such a sweeping restructuring of industries and means of livelihood according to geography, the lay of the land, so to speak, unless there is willingness to retrain entire local workforces to match specific and related industry needs, there must happen mass migrations of people. Otherwise, fields will go untilled and factories idled while the workers acquire necssary skills.

 

Even then, that says nothing about what is already on the ground. We can convert the buildings. They are, after all, just shells. But what about the machineries and support infrastructure? Power stations, water districts, etc.? What about civil service? Where there are none, they will have to be built from scratch. Otherwise, you would have to dismantle and transport them cross-country.

 

To connect this with the secondary goal, we've all seen how informal settlers deal with government-led relocation programs. It will not work. I would love to see it happen though.

 

Now, while we are all making this national enterprise work and trying to figure out how to pay for it (planning alone will take decades), our neighbors have been busily improving and adding to what they already have in place. Very soon, we will discover that because they did not turn their worlds upside-down in a mad-scientist experiment, our exports cost ten times more than theirs. And then we will be far worse off.

 

Finally, once when our three major islands are independent of each other economically, you can be sure they will all want to be independent politically. What then?

hi there everyone

i was just lurking around and i notice the title of ths thread and its very interesting....actually i've been thinking about this for a long time now... i'll appreciate your comments on this be it positive or negative...

this has nothing to do with chacha or the impeachment hehehehe

Primary Goal: distribute resources across the country and making the whole country self-sufficient and possibly minimizing imports and maximizing export. Maximize the resources the country have.

Secondary Goal: to lessen the population in Metropolitan Manila and hopefully decrease the crime rate in the region

Strategy: Since it is impossible to get rid of the pork barrel of the congressman and senators, might as well lets make the most of those resources. First, we have to divide the country according to Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Then, iclassify the provinces of these three regions according to the industry wherein they will best fit (fishing, agricultural, poultry, cattle raising, industrial / technological, manufacturing and etc.) Meaning, in Luzon there will be provinces that will concentrate in certain industries and then the same with Visayas and Mindanao. There are hectares of undeveloped land and water resources all over the country. With the lawmaker's pork barrel, they can allot additional funds in developing these areas, providing necessary research centers in those provinces for specific industries at the same time as an incentive to the squatters here in Metro Manila, they will be provided with jobs and housing in these provinces.

A certain percentage of the products that will be produced will be consumed within the region and portions will be alloted for the urban areas and some will be for export, thus making the three different regions independent from the others.

Result: We will have a self-sufficient country at the same time we can boosts our export business.

Admittedly there are improvements needed in this proposal since it is just a general concept.
