ADVOCACY
PILLAR IV:
INFRASTRUCTURE & ENVIRONMENT
COMPASS : “Heaven on Earth”
MISSION A:
GOD - GIVEN ATTRACTIONS
Natural geographic attractions that are unique to the Philippines are identified and their uses are controlled and subjected to Carrying – Capacity Limits:
- 1. With no – build zones
- 2. With carrying – capacity limits at any time for residents, for workers, and for tourist-visitors. God-given attractions should not be diluted by man-made attractions unless they are for accessibility and safety that protects and preserves the natural attraction.
MISSION B:
MAN – MADE INFRASTRUCTURE
Roads, bridges, and other infrastructure/structures must be world competitive as best in design, engineering, quality, cost, and time efficiency, with added disaster – prevention measures against earthquakes and typhoons. Scientific basis is used to protect natural habitats with nature allowed to do its wonders.
Additionally, historical structures and landmarks should be preserved in top condition as part of the country’s Heritage.
Repairs & maintenance are done expediently on a 24 hours basis to lessen inconvenience to the public.
MISSION C:
ISLANDS CONSTRAINTS INTO ADVANTAGES
The geographic uniqueness of the country-with earthquakes, typhoons, and many islands, are met heads-on as “Challenges to CONNECT” the islands by designing and building:
1. The Best Airports with unique Philippine design
2. The Best Seaports
3. The Best ICT and New Technologies
4. The Best designed and built roads, bridges,
railways, etc.
All infrastructure are designed and built to withstand adverse effects of earthquakes and typhoons.
MISSION D:
MINIMUM SPACE STANDARDS
The adage “a place for everything and everything in its place” is followed, as it applies to spaces for work, play, living, and public use. Public vehicles load/unload NOT on the road, but on Designated Indented Stations away from the road and public vehicles are dispatched sequentially based on scheduled interval times, with no overtaking allowed. Residences and other human needs are close to workplaces to lessen traffic and time commutes.
MISSION E:
ENERGY SOURCES VARIED AND SAFE
A mix-combination of energy sources from traditional to renewable to nuclear, and other New Technologies such as Modular nuclear power plants can be adopted, for as long as they are scientifically safe, tested, clean, and cost-efficient combinations.
