1. Educational Reform: Implementing standards for achievement tests--and requiring our schools and students to meet these standards. Making primary education compulsory. Offering incentives to keep children in school. Adding an extra year to our educational system to bring our standards up to international requirements. Improving technical-vocational education options to pursuing university education. Improving the qualifications of our public school teachers. Making sure that textbooks meet international standards!
2. Health System Reform: Accessibility to basic medical services in rural areas. Educating communities in basic health care. Giving incentives (continuing development, better hospitals, etc) to make the best of our young doctors and nurses stay in the Philippines! Licensing and monitoring our health service providers. Promoting natural/herbal medicines (and research on these substances) in lieu of resorting constantly to synthetic drugs.
3. Proper approaches to reproductive health issues: Promoting natural family planning instead of contraceptives. Educating the masses about natural family planning and the need to properly space/plan births. Getting it straight that we do not have a population problem, but rather we have a density problem in the cities---thus furthering the drive to improve rural areas so as to decongest urban neighborhoods. Revising the approach to sex education: emphasis on values and personal development instead of focusing solely on contraceptives, anatomy, and the sex act.
4. Promotion of mental wellbeing: Promoting awareness and understanding of psychological conditions in order to foster understanding and support in communities. Offering opportunities for people with learning impairments and other mental disorders to be able to cope with the effects of their conditions and enhance their potentials. Using the Sanggunian Kabataan as a force to implement more structured, holistic activities for youth development. Advocating wider and more comprehensive support systems for the elderly. Employing mental health practitioners more in the field, particularly in handling crisis cases, disaster management, familial support, and community planning.
5. Agricultural Reform: Not land reform, but rather the improvement of agricultural technology and practice in the rural areas. Updating existing technology and teaching the farmers to use these innovations. Promoting agricultural research. Realigning agricultural goals to be able to cope with climate change.
