I Writer See Leni Robredo President & Leading National Primate Change Vs Climate Change, Raising PH Up Regenerative Development!

With wide-ranging public corruption and widespread private poverty, my country the Philippines should now forsake Sustainable Development and pursue Regenerative Development nationwide!

Ms Leni must save her country from itself! Here is 16-time Palanca Awards winner Jose Dalisay with a poem of encouragement for Ms Leni in the form of a tribute to her husband Jesse Robredo who was a shining exemplar in public service, who served handsomely his country from being Mayor of Naga City to Secretary of Interior & Local Government under President Noynoy Aquino.

Mr Robredo died in the crash of a light airplane in 2012. So, Mr Dalisay’s poem is both a tribute to Jesse and Leni (poem & picture from a Valentine’s Day Facebook sharing by Milwida Sevilla-Reyes). The original title of the poem was “Jesse’s Poem” but which I thought was uninspired and uninspiring; so, following literary tradition, I assigned the very first line as title:

If This Was What I Died For

If this was what I died for
Let no one grieve.
When wife became widow
She could not believe
That hurtful accident could make
Of loss a boundless gain
And of my bones a pillow
To dream away the pain.
If this was what I died for
Then I live on.
My adjourned crusade
Shall now be won.
Between the two of us we knew
This was always she –
The one to crush a rock in hand
To set the jewel free.
If this was what I died for
Let us rejoice.
The mother of our children
Has found her voice
Singing neither lullabies
Nor dirges for the dead
But battle hymns of love and hope
For the armies to be led.

Mr Robredo lives on in the person of his wife Ms Leni who lives for her country, our country.

My adjourned crusade shall now be won.

The Crusade for Good Government. This is reflected in the many mini projects of Ms Leni with private funds, as she is denied public funds by the President, and with the consistent achievement by the Office of the Vice President of the international ISO 9001: 2015 certification for quality management systems, obtained in 2017 and again in 2020. Honesty & integrity.

Between the two of us we knew  
This was always she –
The one to crush a rock in hand
To set the jewel free.

Husband & wife always knew wife would one day set the captives free, from public corruption and private poverty.

Agriculture is the #1 industry in the Philippines. Today, we cannot ignore climate change, and within Agriculture lies our salvation from this global/national threat. Therefore, exercising the art of communication for development, I now say to would-be President Leni Robredo: “To save the Philippines, let us forsake the Un/Sustainable Developmentthat we are currently following, and instead undertake & uphold Regenerative Development¸ where there must be Heart in the Art, especially in Agriculture!”@517

“Leocadio Sebastian Is A Good Man – Why Do You Tie A Good Man Down?” – Asking For A Friend!” – Frank A Hilario

For all the bad things people have said of Leocadio “Leo” Sebastian , resigned Undersecretary for Operations of the Philippine Department of Agriculture (DA), I am not mad, just sad; those people are the ones guilty – of judging without evidence at hand. Very much interested in Leo’s leadership for further agricultural development of my country, and an alumnus of UP Los Baños myself, I would like to be counted as a supporter of Leo as an honorable man. Here’s my short list on Leo: Leocadio Sotor Sebastian BS Agriculture and MS Genetics, UP Los Baños PhD Plant Breeding & Genetics, Cornell University Executive Director, PhilRice Regional Director for Asia Pacific, Bioversity International Awards: Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) PCAARRD Award for Research Management (Pantas) JICA Presidential Award, and “Medal for Contribution to the Cause of Agriculture and Rural Development” (Vietnam) awarded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam on 26 Nov

Knorr Of Big Business Unilever Thinks Big Business Regenerative Agriculture – My Tiny Country PH Also Should!

Image
“Knorr’s plan for 50 regenerative agriculture projects is predicted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water use by an estimated 30% while improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods.” That is regenerative agriculture (RA) news by Julian Cirineo (05 Nov 2021, “Unilever Wants To Rethink How Farms Work To Secure Food And Resources For The Future,” Rappler , rappler.com ). Note: 50 (not 5 only) RA projects to improve greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and water use by 30% – plus improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods. Note the last 7 words in the above paragraph. How can RA improve biodiversity? RA requires that the farmer practices multiculture (a few or many crops grown at the same time in the same place), where monoculture (such as rice-only or corn-only) is the practice – the biodiversity improves crop health because of the ensuing balance of nature, such as some organisms feed on other organisms that would otherwise become pests or cause diseases. RA is your

Ma'am Leni, Angat Buhay, Remembering Adam & Eve: Here Is How The Females Can Show The Males How To Take Very Good Care Of Their Garden Of Eden!

Image
The males of the species have wreaked havoc on this, our Garden of Eden that the Angel called “Climate Change” is telling us: “Get out! Get out!” (“Garden of Eden” image from Adobe Stock, stock.adobe.com ) We have poisoned the soils of the Garden of Eden so much that greenhouse gases (GHGs) are generated & contribute much to climate change – and since we don’t want to stop poisoning the Garden, the Angel of Climate Change is telling us: “Out! Out!” The intelligent response is shown in the lower image above: “We will not move on. We will MOVE FORWARD. Angat Buhay.” In this case, the Females have been thinking much better than the Males! (“We will move” image from Facebook, facebook.com , “Leni” image frm Facebook, facebook.com ) We cannot live outside of the Garden of Eden – we have to learn to live in it. And so we have to change our modern agriculture to “Garden-of-Eden Agriculture” – we have to move forward and let the natural forces work! I must blame the males, all those Ad
