Join the new world

It has been a while since I have been here, settling down for a Presidential vote, personally invested once again. Once more into the abyss, so to speak!

Those familiar with my previous campaigns may remember my very detailed blueprints for the future, however, this month we face a medley of unknowns. No plan can really stand up against the mighty winds of "V3", the new resources, and the new tweaks to the economic module, so I will not attempt to. I can, however, say what the next month for me will be all about:

1. Restoring our relationship with the SEA bloc. While we certainly did not intend to make anyone angry at us, our relationship with Singapore and Malaysia has been damaged by some of our actions. In the days I have returned I have devoted most of my efforts to fixing this and bringing back the sense of cooperation to our area.

The biggest part in this plan is something that Shnipe, Jelly, Dr. Straatman, Fruitcommando, Myung Kei and I worked on extensively for the past few days. It's a new alliance proposal between Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines currently waiting for congressional approval in our three nations. More details will come out as it reaches closer to becoming a reality!

2. However, the main tenement of PACMAN is a unified military [Pacmen, AKA Pac Attack]. Instead of our three nations having really tiny militaries, PACMAN will unite our Ministry of Defenses into one big PACMAN MoD [with local organization for home defense, of course] that can hopefully be more active in the world, be more fun, and utilize everyone's resources more effectively. This is basically my plan with the Military for this month--devoting it to Pacmen and following what structure comes out of that.

3. Keep active, and keep vigilant! Given our population, we have to constantly be aware of PTOers, and Indielfi has done a fantastic job at finding them 🙂 Keep reporting! I hope to be able to put together some more people to also start utilizing the API as well to root them out.

While it does not seem like a lot, keep in mind there is a lot we really do not know right now, and quite a bit resting on PACMAN. Not to mention that things have been going relatively smoothly outside of the Singaporean War.

As for the cabinet, if everything works out (some spots are yet to be confirmed) it looks like this:

President: Hekter
Vice-President: Mr. Knoll (Keegan!)

Minister of Defense*: indielfi with assistance by CplUseless
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Shnipe with assistance by Jelly9473
Minister of Home Affairs: Revilo X
Minister of Finance [For Life]: Negosyo sa Tao

The Ministry of SEA Affairs will no longer be necessary, and is being absorbed into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

*PACMAN will leave this department handling local defense and supplies.

With this said, I greatly look forward to serving the ePhilippines for another month!

Sincerely,
Hekter
2.5-Term President [Dec-Jan, April]

Wakka wakka wakka wakka!
