WE COME TOGETHER with the hope that there should be no poor Filipinos among the 100 million on home soil and over 10 million more spread through a hundred countries, whom instead of living life to develop their full potentials, are left with no choice but to exist and survive, rather than thrive, from day to day, for the past 50 years.

A philosophy of prosperity rather than that of survival shall be inculcated and actively nourished.

The penchant for self-pity should be discarded, and in its place, an attitude of pride and recognition of self-worth shall be harnessed.

The spirit of nationalism and patriotism should be reestablished in this generation and in our children’s generations.

Failures of the past should be remembered for the lessons they offer, but not as justification to fear the future and the opportunities it brings.

The attitude of optimism must prevail at all times.

There should be no poor people in the world – regardless of class, color or creed – specially for those who value work and discipline, self-drivers and go-getters, and those doing, accomplishing and achieving great undertakings and endeavors, not only for thy self, but also for others.

There ought to be no poor nor a culture of poverty of the mind, heart, spirit and a culture of poverty of the imagination as well, among the inherently happiest people on earth, born in the naturally richest lands and seas of Asia, and whose creativity and compassion are awe-inspiring and life-enhancing.

There ought to be no sick Filipinos nor there ought to be a culture of disease in the mind and a culture of disease in the spirit among the inherently healthiest people on earth who had anciently known that nature can heal and whose hands and hearts can heal the world.

There ought to be no more elder or younger Filipinos who will live in a culture of constant fear and in a culture of relentless greed any longer, aggravated by the lies and deceit and synonymous impropriety of their leaders that their followers may think as all right and in order, anymore, be they of and by their own doing or undoing, because from this day onward: 

We take charge. We invest.

You and I will take charge of our own destiny.

You and I will invest our time, our money, our talent, our energy, our technology, our entrepreneurship, our resources in evolving our complex present from an uncertain past into a colorfully better future.

We do this because it is not only our own future that is at stake. It is also that of our children, our grandchildren, our nation's and our world's future.

Our loved ones and others, they, too, deserve to live lives in freedom with responsibility and responsiveness to the call of the times. They, too, should live in happiness and in health, as did our great ancestors from whose discipline, truth, wisdom and values this manifesto takes inspiration, and better than we do today.

The future is here. And in constant pursuit of enlightenment and divinity, imagine love, peace, synergy, anything and everything there was, there is and there will be in positivity, probability, possibility and proactivity. That future starts in you and me – right here, right now. Make our future your personal challenge. Inspire others, believe, live, and hope that poverty will end, and our people will thrive.#

This Manifest Greatness manifesto is originally conceived of, envisioned and initiated for practical implementation by journalist Emmanuel Mario B Santos aka Marc Guerrero and Marc Guerrero Communications Inc on the 9th of December 2009 in Manila, The Philippines, to serve as guiding inspiration in the buildup of a YouNoodle group for the worldwide celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week UK 2009 dubbed as “Genuine Entrepreneurship Workshops.” GEW Philippines shall come to be known as Entreprize Philippines, aptly, The Prize of Entrepreneurship in the World according to The Philippines, a private social media business startup project. (Philippine and world copyright 2009, 2010 by Emmanuel Mario B Santos aka Marc Guerrero and Marc Guerrero Communications Inc.
