** Figured I should re post this right about now... just to start up campaigning again!! **
** Note Additions added to the platform. **
About Me:
~ I am 3+ months old on eRep.
~ I have never won a political race/contest in my eRep career. (Lost 1 election for Party President of the Neo Whig to whitey9421 due to the fact that the party was filled with only a mere number of active members that I could talk to)
~ I was moderately active on the eUS forums and IRC. I am very active in the ePhilippines IRC, and registered on the forums.
~ I am currently at level 15, and each day growing closer and closer to 16.
~ I am very passionate/enthusiastic about everything and anything that I believe is right. I can go from posting about voting PRO for one thing, and then posting something about something completely different that I felt inspired to write about on a whim.
~ I lived in both eUSA and eIreland. I failed to do what I sought out to do; become a business tycoon, political machine, and a war hammer. In the ePhilippines, I hope and plan to do all of what I previously stated. But some of you might think that I am here for my own deeds. I am here to help the ePhilippines in any which way shape or form, by doing all of what I stated previously.
~ I am me, and I am simple. Therefore, I am simple.
Endorsements:
I have never been publicly supported by any "big" name in the eUS, in eIre, or the world for that matter. However, privately I have gained support from few, but I doubt any would admit it, because I lost my races. Supporting me could be your best, and your worst, idea. How? Well if you support me, and I win, you'd be one of the few, if any, to put your support behind the underdog, the rookie in the race, and you'd have more influence over the entire political field. If I lose, you'd second-guess everything you know about politics, that or you'd just forget about it and not vote for me again.
My Views: Taxes.
Firstly, I think that every single citizen should keep as much money (PHP/GOLD) in their pockets as physically possible. However, at the same time I feel that the government needs the money to make sure the national reserve doesn't dry out, and that the organizations such as the health and defense ministry can survive by giving out weapons and wellness without worrying about how long until they have to declare bankruptcy.
......** Bonus **
My Views: Government Spending; what I would vote for.
If elected into office as the Congressman of Mindanao, I will be very open as to why exactly I am voting YAY or NAY for a bill. There are a certain of types of bills that I WILL vote for and that I WONT vote for, and I shall explain to you exactly what I mean. For example;
Scenario 1:
*Player* proposes donating 1200 PHP from the National Reserve to the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines), I will vote YAY for the fact that providing any citizen with proper pay from their military duties and activities will be a great way to boost military size, and a great way to keep soldiers in the military.
Scenario 2:
*Player* proposes to change the Tax on Food from:
Taxes............................New.... ........Old
Value added tax (VAT)....20%...........10%
Import Tax.....................20%............1 0%
Income Tax....................20%............10 %
I would vote NAY upon this bill for the reason that it would raise prices significantly for food, and the work force for the ePhilippines needs to have food available for them at low prices so they can continue to filter the PHP within ePhilippines rather then around the world.
Scenario 3:
*Player* proposes to start a Trade Embargo with *Country A*. Trading with this nation would cease. I would have to look upon all of the details behind of this proposal. I would look at all the relations with *Country A* and the Philippines, and from there make my decision. Note, either voting YAY or NAY I would have a significant reason for so, and in doing so please know that I vote in that way for what I believe to be in the best interest of the ePhilippines.
.....** End Bonus **
My Views: Hospitals.
Hospitals should be bought, for each and every region in eIreland. Q3-Q5. No matter what, to ensure that if the ePhilippines were ever invaded, the freedom fighters could fight and subsequently gain back a significant amount of wellness back. Especially since the ePhilippines are new, I feel that we should have some people getting Q3-Q5 Hospitals built, and built quick so that when we finally have a government, they can buy it for a decent price to protect all of the ePhilippines.
My Views: Defense Systems.
Defense systems should be bought, for each and every region in the ePhilippines. Q3-Q5. No matter what, to ensure that if the ePhilippines were ever invaded each and every region would be able to have a significant force with it's wall, and an even more significant fierce force behind it. Just like with the hospitals, citizens that have the GOLD to start businesses should open up Defense System businesses so that when the time is here for the gov't to buy Defense Systems for the regions in the ePhilippines, they are available for a decent price.
My Views: Foreign Affairs.
While I don't personally believe that the ePhilippines have the resources, or man force large enough to send a force into to help out, or drive out anyone outside of Asia/Oceania, I think that the ePhilippines should offer a diplomatic approach to any foreign affair that might be involving any nations around ePhili at some point or another. However, at the same time, setting up our nation, getting the right people into power, should be the #1 priority.
My Views: ATLANTIS vs PEACE.
( *~* EDIT *~* ) It is in the best interest of the peoples of the ePhilippines that we do not join ATLANTIS rather become friends with, or perhaps even join PEACE.
My Views: Minimum Wage.
Leave it where it's at. There isn't much we can do really, without a congress or anything, or even a president for that matter, so leave it where it's at.
My Views: MPP's.
We need to set up Mutual Protection Pact's, when available.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or concerns please do PM me or simply post a comment. Because it's that simple.

Would you vote yes for PEP proposals?
I don't think I can openly say that I would vote for PEP proposals or not, it all depends upon how I perceive the present proposal and if I feel it is in the best interest to vote YAY for said proposal. However, I think that my loyalty lyes with my own party, and I'd more then likely be more willing to vote along party lines.
