10 Reasons Why "The Real Mr. Green"(Nicanor Perlas) Should Be In The Presidential List

On my previous post, I cited my reasons why I chose Mr. Nicanor Perlas based on his track record and platform. Today is a blogswarming day as a part of our on-line protest against COMELEC's disqualification of Mr. Perlas. I also ask you to do the same if you are also supporting him and his quest for new politics. It's our time to raise our voice and let it heard across COMELEC.

10 REASONS WHY "THE REAL MR. GREEN" (NICANOR PERLAS) SHOULD BE ON THE PRESIDENTIAL LIST:

1) Mr. Perlas fought against corruption even without seeking public office. He fought the massive fraud and bribery surrounding the purchase of the BNPP, exposed the corruption at the Department of Agriculture which halted the use of 32 pesticide formulations. He even helped oust Fmr. Pres. Joseph Estrada at EDSA 2.

2)Mr. Perlas believes in participatory governance.He believes that the powers of democracy never just resides on those who are elected and the elite, but also to the subjects.

3)Mr. Perlas introduced sustainable farming. He helped thousands of farmers change their farming methods from the use of deadly pesticides.

4)Mr. Perlas is not a TRAPO. He never believes in personality-based politics(in which the COMELEC promotes) but believes in a politics based on strong track record and a systemic platform. He taught us that winnability should not be based on political machinery, name-recalling, celebrity endorsements, and money.

5)Mr. Perlas believes in multiple intelligence. A good politician should focus on just one issue. An issue can affect different aspects of the society like political, environmental, social, spiritual, cultural, and economic. Mr. Perlas' exceptional skills, talent and experience are enough to solve national issues ranging from environment to anti-corruption;from participatory governance to fair trade.

6)Mr. Perlas gained respect here and around the world. He became a keynote speaker on over 200 national and global conferences. Winner of various awards here and abroad.

7)Mr. Perlas believes in sustainable development. He convinced Fmr. President Fidel Ramos to include sustainable development as an appropriate paradigm for APEC(Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) and he succeeded. It was included at the APEC Leader's Declaration in the 1996 summit in Manila. He is the technical writer of Philippine Agenda 21(PA21), the highest government framework under the RAMOS administration. It was cited by UN as one of the promising examples of innovative approaches to sustainable development.

8)Mr. Perlas believes a nuclear-free Philippines and safer energy resources. He also not exposed the corruption at BNPP, he also save millions from the danger of nuclear power that crushed Chernobyl.

9)Mr. Perlas understands the poor more clearly than any politicians.He was with the UNICEF and Plan International in helping solving poverty. He also helped them through microfinancing.

10)Mr. Perlas believes that the power change is within us. He never take his mission alone. He believes that the power to change also resides on us. Just only believe on yourself. You have the power in your hands.
