100 Things To Do for The First 100 Days

If you are Noynoy and win the presidency in 2010, what will you do for the first 100 days?

Here’s my own list:

1. All appointments for primary positions in the government, not only clean and honest, but should come from the names submitted by the Academe, NGOs, Civic and Religious groups, and should be screened strictly for past work history and credentials.
2. Strengthen the Sandiganbayan/Ombudsman by appointing more honest, clean and incorruptible prosecutors recommended by the Academe, NGOs, Civic and Religious groups, to investigate and prosecute all government officials involve in graft and corruption from Marcos time up to the present. Beside the maximum jail sentence, sequester all their assets here and abroad and penalized them 3 times their ill-gotten wealth.
3. Upgrade, expand, and renovate all existing jail houses and corrections that can accommodate new inmates with the result of point #2.
4. Hire more lawyers/prosecutors for all regional trial courts to speed-up the resolution of all pending cases. This will also free-up more space in jail house to accommodate new inmates as a result of  point #2.
5. Repeal the law that encourage squatting. All informal settlers should be relocated, once and for all, to an established relocation site. Schools, markets, jobs, health care, and other social services should be present.
6. Give rewards,  incentives and/or double the salaries of teachers, policemen, soldiers, and all government rank and file employees to discourage corruption. Incentives will be based on task output, i.e., if a new policy introduced by an employee that will save the government 10 million pesos each year, give 1% as bonus. However, if their greed is still not  moderated despite the incentives, haul them to Jolo, Sulu and be the frontline in combating Abu-Sayyaf, if they survive, transfer them to South/Central Luzon and face the NPA they should be dealt with the full force of the law.
7. No new tax should be introduced but enhanced tax collection should be strictly implemented. Again, BIR and Customs head and all it’s agents should be screened based on their past work history and credentials.
8. Remove the pork barrels of congressmen and senators. Salaries and incentives will be performance basis (also includes late/tardiness and absences). No work no pay, and worst, no allowance!
9. Removed and ban all posters, banners, tarps, and other propaganda materials of all politicians on any projects (i.e. roads, bridges, buildings, schools, etc.) being implemented nationwide.
10. Ban the construction of basketball courts and waiting sheds using government funds.
11. Introduce a new subject in the school curriculum like environment 101  (i.e.  require students to plant trees,  waste recycling and management, renewable energy, etc.)
12. Introduce ways to solve population problem that includes education and awareness to the poor.
13. A TV channel broadcasting 24/7 dedicated solely to livelihood information and know-how in the likes of kumikitang kabuhayan, usapang negosyo, ating alamin, but more detailed and specialized, that will teach basic skills for people to be entrepreneur-minded. Limit useless TV shows like PBB, Wowowee, telenovelas, etc. that not only exploit people of their weaknesses but no moral or redeeming values whatsoever.
14. Ban all forms of logging for the next 100 years. If caught, hang them on trees they are cutting not only give appropriate penalty but let them plant 100 new seedlings for every tree they cut.
15. Discipline citizenry every time they commit petty crimes  (i.e. jaywalking, not using overpass, spitting and urinating in public, vandalism, littering, etc.)  by doing  community service. Best example is to let them clean the entire stretch of EDSA or Manila bay coastal areas, or along the banks of Pasig River. There will be no shortage of free labor for the government, that’s for sure!
16. Limit unnecessary non-working special holidays (except traditional ones like Christmas, New Year, Easter, and All Souls Day)
17. Create a super-mega elite police force that will deal with high-tech crimes and terrorism.
