An update on our continuing response to the current political situation

1) Defend the truth amidst malicious attempts to muddle it (e.g., the discrediting of Lozada)
2) Provide support to whistleblowers by offering sanctuaries and financial support
3) Call on Secretary Neri and others in government to speak up on corruption and abuse of power
4) Demand lifting of E.O. 464; Ask the Supreme Court to rule on petitions regarding executive privilege (NEDA documents and Neri's
testimony)
5) Establish truth centers for awareness-building, reflection and formation toward sociopolitical engagement

1) Investigate and indict those culpable of serious crimes
2) Monitor closely proceedings underway at the Office of the Ombudsman
3) Push for the creation of an Independent counsel to investigate and prosecute wrong-doers
4) Facilitate coordinated action among concerned citizens, lawyers groups and conscienticized civil servants to build cases leading to the conviction of those who have violated the public trust

1) Reform the loan procurement, BOT and other development project approval systems to ensure transparency and accountability at different stages; promote freedom of information
2) Depoliticize, further professionalize, and strengthen the capacity of the Civil Service
3) Restore trust in the electoral process: revamp the Comelec; modernize elections; address warlordism and dynasties; promote party-building
4) Give greater numbers of people, especially the poor, a real stake in democracy: push for strict implementation of agrarian reform and other programs for inclusive and sustainable development
5) Form real communities of faith-discernment and action for the common good towards building a political culture with a social conscience
