truth and goodness to yourself for they are God’s; it is a matter
of divine responsibility to share them by leading the way” -

 Diagnosis of our National
Illness
• The Philippines is afflicted with interlocking
diseases of poverty, passivity, graft and
corruption, exploitative patronage, factionalism,
political instability, love for intrigue, lack of
discipline, lack of patriotism, and the desire for
instant self-gratification.
• This sickness is moral in nature – the bottom of
our economic problems and political instability
is the weakness and corruption of the moral
foundations of our society. (Senate Special Committee
on Moral Recovery, 1991)

 PGMA’s Prognosis
• The greatest obstacle that we as a nation
must overcome is inside us. The enemy to
beat is ourselves: when we spread
division rather than unity; when we put
ourselves above country and profit above
fairness; when we think the worst of those
with who we should be working for the
common good; and when we wallow in
despair rather than to rise to achievement –
indeed, when we make politics replace
patriotism in our country’s hour of need.” –
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

 FORMULA FOR A GENUINE CHANGE AND
DEVELOPMENT
When I was little
I dreamt about changing the world but it struck me for it seemed impossible
WORLD
So I reduce my dream somehow
And thought only about changing my country
NATION Again, to my surprise, that too seemed unattainable
To overcome my frustrations due to the inability to reach my goals
I concentrated in changing my family, thinking that may be this time I could
SOCIETY make a difference
But then again, I failed
And now as I lie on my deathbed
FAMILY I suddenly realized that if I had changed my self first, then by example I
would have changed my family
From this inspiration and encouragement
SELF I figured I could have better my country and who knows, I may have changed
the world
