Al Raposas first State of the Republic Address



Filipinos and foreigners alike, greetings.

After the closure of the elections, I went to my room to pray for the results to turn around to my favor, even if I fully know that at the single moment before the closure of the elections, I was behind ten percentage points. I prayed for this nation's safety under a new administration... I just leaped with joy and thanked the most gracious God that it was I who will lead the country as her 51st Country President!



Now, I have one letter for you, R.

After the miraculous elections last July 5 (Day 2054), it is I, Al Raposas, who won for Country President. Foreign affairs of many countries, including our NaN allies, congratulated and gave me their government list. I therefore open my Cabinet to the citizens. However, I gave the Ministry of Finance to Liana Paldrov because I needed a person I can contact even offline in this position. Our financial standing is delicate. Still, the other positions are open. You can send me a message about your ministry of interest in the next 24 hours. I will then release my official cabinet roster.

• Minister and Vice Minister of Defense (in-game)

• Minister of Foreign Affairs (in-game)

-- Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs (to our NaN allies)
-- Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs (to other countries)

• Minister and Vice Minister of Education (in-game)

• Minister and Vice Minister of Culture and the Arts: in adherence to our commitment to promote Philippine culture, arts and national patrimony

• Minister and Vice Minister of Transportation: the government shall subsidize moving fees for citizens who need to finish their daily orders, or who is abroad and is needed to fight here in the Philippines


It is up to the sub-ministries in Foreign Affairs how they will manage their ambassadors. Each minister (excluding vice ministers) will be given 250 PHP salary every week once they submit to me a summarized report of their progress in the government set goals. I ordained vice ministers to increase citizen participation in the government. This will make our people feel they are always part of the process to progress.

I now welcome you to the Age of R! The first R is restructuring of the government offices.



The second R will be reconstruction.

After updating the Ministry of Finance, our finances stood at around 15,000 PHP. The minister and I agreed to set the financial standing of the country to at least 20,000 PHP by the end of my term, after including all the expenses. Also, the supply program of which I revived when I was Minister of Defense shall be put into regular basis once more.

Concerning military affairs, I plan to rebuild and expand the armed forces under government control. A single military unit which consisted of Div 1 to 4 had been a proposal since time immemorial, but never applied. I will see that some progress be done in this sector soon.

Soon, if the national finances can handle it, needy citizens can now avail loans from the government to buy mines or farms.


The third R will be restoration.

Our core regions had been under occupation for months, and the past administration had done virtually nothing to remedy this problem. No regions meant no finances and jobs. I am bent to restore some, if not all of the core regions for the first time for far too long. Jobs will be restored, and the market patronized once more.

Someone commented to me:


This struck me, for real. So, Filipinos, the Age of R has now come. The Filipino people can begin hoping again for a better Philippines. But is hoping enough? We must also work. I therefore appeal to you, my people, to cooperate with me towards progress! Thank you and good day.



Yours truly,
Al Raposas
President of the Republic of the Philippines
Duke of Luzon
Second Commander of Philippine Military Academy
