Surprising even myself, I am now going political. Because not
a single one of the candidates for PH President has made any statement
equivalent to a Vision of the
archipelago in the near/far-future. “Where there is no vision, there is no
hope” – George Washington Carver.

So now I present as my gift to
you xm@s,
which is an acronym:
x =
Unknown. Thus, since our candidate
leaders are without Vision, the letter
X refers to the absolutely necessary Vision! Male & female, all of them
have much to say and/or claim, but none mentions either or both Vision and
Mission.
m = Mission.
Now to clarify Vision and Mission, from ClearVoice,
I pick this u
Your Mission statement
focuses on today; your Vision statement focuses on tomorrow. @BrittSkrabanek
Applying that, the Vision is what you are pursuing with the
Mission you are undertaking. So:
Vision: What is the candidate promising as the future of the Philippines?
Mission: What must be accomplished
to bring about the fulfilment of that Vision?
The Vision does not
achieve itself; it is a status that must be brought about. “Mission
accomplished!” means the Vision has been achieved. And no, it is not solely the
Leader who must labor to bring that Vision to reality; the Followers must
contribute to the overall Mission.
@ =
Approach: This is the Way Toward
Accomplishing The Mission to bring about the Vision. The Visionary Leader has
to encourage the followers, in this case the would-be President and us
Filipinos – to walk the path of Cooperation working towards the Mission towards
the Vision.
@ also
refers to Adam’s Agriculture (AA).
We are in the Garden of Eden; my King’s
name is Adam and so I have found
my Queen, her name is Eve! AA is what
you and I can recognize as regenerative
– it goes and grows all by itself.
s =
Strategies. What are the tactics
to be used? What are the citizens – directly under the lower leaders – supposed
to do to help bring about the accomplishment of the Mission to help achieve the
Vision that belongs to everybody?
When William Dar
was on his 2nd 5-year term as Director
General of the International Crops
Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) based in India,
in a shared document dated 23 June 2005, this appeared: “ICRISAT’s mission is
to help empower 600 million poor people to overcome hunger, poverty and a
degraded environment in the dry tropics through better agriculture[3].” Borrowing from that, since ICRISAT’s Mr Dar is now PH Chief of the Department
of Agriculture (DA), we can say this:
DA’s mission is to help
empower 100 million poor people to overcome hunger, poverty and a degraded
environment in the archipelago through regenerative agriculture.
The
best presidential candidate could learn from all of the above!@517
