This academic congress intends to identify the current issues, map the various approaches that have been tried in the past, provide some assessment of their gains and failures and draw out possible actions that must be done by the next administration. It is intended to empower the general public by making these issues transparent. It is not solely addressed to the candidates for the 2010 elections. At the end of the forum, the public should be able to draw their own measurable objectives and milestones that can be achieved within the next six years hence allowing them to craft questions which they can ask from their candidates and make wise choices. The forum should draw responses from the political candidates that will go beyond mere generalities or rhetoric.

We attended the lecture on Debt and Deficits yesterday and I asked from the organizers copies of the powerpoint presentations of Professor Diokno, Medalla and Briones. However we were told that the presentations will be posted on this website, but what is only uploaded are the videos of the lectures, which are very difficult to download and watch if the connection is slow. In addition, the details on the lecture is even more worth noting. We work on the executive side of government and their inputs are very important especially in planning and policy. I hope since this is an open lecture forum, you would also share these very important and eye-opening resources. THANK YOU.
