Philippines 2030 Journey to Nationhood
Philippines 2030 journey to nationhood: towards a national community of responsible citizens / Jesus P. Estanislao. – Makati City, Philippines: Institute of Solidarity in Asia, Inc., 2006. (242 pages)
The revolution this book proposes is for ordinary citizens to take up the cudgels for our country and contribute to its progress such that sooner rather than later, the Filipino would be proud of the Philippines. We have long awaited for Presidents and other elected officials to solve our problems and deliver genuine development. The wait would be over if ordinary citizens would roll up their sleeves and work together with others. Instead of asking, what can the President do for our sector and commnunity, many more should be asking: what can we do for the country? Indeed, what can our sector contribute to the progress of the Philippines? What can our commnunity contribute to national development?
