Nicanor Perlas
Aquino Government: Technical Advisor to the Presidential Commission on the Bataan Nuclear leading the government’s decision to mothball the troubled Plant, despite it being very near completion, and having cost $2.1 billion
Ramos Government: Pesticides Technical Advisory Committee, which role was decisive in the consequent banning of 32 of the most damaging pesticides and government’s investment of P760 million in integrated pest management, an achievement that has far-reaching effects to Philippine agriculture and the ecology
Ramos Government: Principal technical writer and key formulator of Philippine Agenda 21 (“PA21”), a pioneering framework on development and a counter-weight on trade liberalization. The PA21 has been characterized by former President Ramos as the most consultative policy document in post-martial law and is still the recognized blueprint for sustainable development in the country.
Civil Society Co-Chairman for the Philippine Council for Sustainable Development and through his expertise, formulated and implemented Philippine Agenda 21.
Philippine representative to United Nation bodies such as the UNDP, FAO, UNCSD and UNICEF. Consultant and Advisor to critical government agencies throughout several presidencies, as consultant to the Senate, House of Representatives, NEDA, DSWD, DA, DENR and as the official Philippine delegate to the United Nations and APEC
Principal negotiator during the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (“APEC”) and pivotal to preventing radical and one-sided trade liberalization. Mr. Perlas successfully introduced strong sustainable development language in the Leaders and Ministerial Declarations of APEC, and constrained the Individual Action Plan of the Philippines to abide by sustainable development principles.
If these do not count for work in polity or the State, I do not know what else could.

Thanks for the info, will update the post Although regarding his role in PA21 I'll need a source for that, in the meantime I will put technical writer. :) Come back and see what I have added maybe you'd like to comment on them again!

It's too bad your "track record" is so traditionally-oriented, i.e., based on political positions and titles and not the real and more substantial -- not to say, more valuable to our people and ot the world -- track record of true service to the country. Of achievements in saving and protecting our natural resources and our farmers, of education to help build strong, safe and sustainable agricultural industry, writer of strongest economic and development plan now adopted by other developing nations, awarded nationally and internationally for real works on helping the poor, of education that brings out the greatest potential of its students from young age to senior.

If you gave as much effort to truly studying that and assessing that in a non-biased way, coupled with a true, non-egoic political will to truly serve the greater good and a willingness to learn something new, you might just change your analysis and conclusions...your vote. I warn you, it can be tough to change...but as one candidate has said and shown us, if we are open to the new and the true, the impossible becomes possible.

Thanks so much for your comment Teresa. Looks like I hit a raw nerve :P

Anyway, I don't think I need to answer to any of the accusations you made in your comment above, since this post and the first one with it specifically says that I will be listing down only two things for each presidentiable - ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT and GOVERNMENT TRACK RECORD. That of course does not mean that the presidentiables have nothing else of value... But those two things are of mighty importance. It doesn't matter if you are an Einstein, if you get yourself into a job that you have no idea or experience in. It's like all your life you worked as a hamburger maker then one day you tried a job in painting.

We can't afford a president who will be using training-wheels once they get the job.

Besides, the Philippines is already known for making great laws, and a fact that later on our legislation is used as a reference in other countries. What we lack is the willpower to implement, and the willpower lost because of a a consensus that is not there. We need a consensus builder, someone who can harness everybody's ideas and energy into constructive output. Something I think Gloria Macapagal was so able and skillful at, and why you see our economy stronger than any of the three previous administrations, whoever will take over this administration will definitely reap the rewards of this administrations solid and strong consensus about uplifting the economy.

Thanks again for your comment! :)
