Spiritual Dimension

Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Moral Dimension

1. Build a nation of character and promote the integral development and total well-being of all Filipinos through values formation
2. Discourage the glorification of sex and violence, pornography, dishonesty, vice, materialism and hedonism, and replace them with structures of virtue, peace,
3. responsibility and achievement.
4. Abolish all forms of gambling.
5. Abolish the death penalty.
6. End the use of torture.
7. End violence in school fraternities and other institutions, and regulate sports whose main aim is to inflict physical harm or violence on the opponent.
8. Actively promote responsible parenthood and natural family planning.
9. Encourage media to foster values that contribute to the formation of a national commitment that is maka-Diyos, maka-buhay, maka-bayan, at maka-tao .

Social Dimension

1. Consistently promote the culture of life, peace, active nonviolence and progressive disarmament.
2. Declare as contrary to public policy, public morals, public interest, good customs and the common good: the glorification of the culture of death and violence in movies, television, videograms, radio, print media, billboards, posters, and the exhibition and sale of guns and the posting of pro-gun stickers in public places.

Multidimensional Approach to Peace and Order

1. Make it a criminal offense for anyone except police officers or soldiers and licensed private security guards in uniform and on duty, to carry firearms or any other weapons in public places.
2. Increase the penalty for illegal possession of firearms or violation of any firearms law to reclusion temporal (12 to 20 years without parole or pardon). Impose perpetual disqualification to hold public office on violators who are public officials.
3. Disallow the obscuring of the windows of motor vehicles. (This makes sense in light of the Supreme Court’s ruling that vehicles should not be searched nor occupants subjected to bodily search.)
4. Ban the exhibit and/or sale of firearms and ammunition in malls and other public places.
5. Ban the manufacture, importation or sale of toy guns, air guns or replicas of guns.
6. Ban the export of firearms.
7. Ban the import of guns except high-powered guns for use by the police and the military.
8. Legalize and place under tight government control the local production and sale of firearms for use by the police and military as well as the civilians for sports and home protection. Manufacture and sale of firearms without authorization of the government shall be punishable with the same penalty for illegal possession of firearms as provided in No. 13 above.
9. Require applicants for firearm permits to show to the authorities that he/she has a gun safety deposit box at home approved by the police.
10. Mandate the periodic inventory, decommissioning and melting down of all confiscated guns for conversion into man-hole covers and other useful instruments.
11. Give financial rewards to those who take advantage of the general amnesty whereby individuals may voluntarily surrender unlicensed firearms with no questions asked and without incurring any criminal or civil liability. No other form of amnesty shall be allowed.
12. Impose the same penalty for illegal possession of firearms on anyone found guilty of “planting evidence” to incriminate others.
13. Formulate and implement a no-nonsense national strategy to eliminate the manufacture, distribution, trafficking, transshipment, sale and use of all illegal drugs.

I can see clearly that most of his measures are his responses towards the horrendous and abhorrent Maguindanao massacre last November. It's a relief that somehow someone's addressing that amidst the uproar of the Filipinos when the Supreme Court chose to close down the case. Where's justice now? Is this what they call Filipino justice? Is this the way our country defines justice?
But in his plans one could see flaws there... just HOW is he going to do these things?
That's the most definitive question of all.
I hope he'll be able to answer that once he's in the Office.
