THE PRESIDENTIABLE

THE PRESIDENTIABLE

MAR ROXAS

A People’s Campaign of Renewed Hope…

• Anchored on Ninoy’s and Cory’s legacy of change through the ways of democracy
• Embraces the qualities of integrity, humility and trust-worthiness in public leadership
• Recognizes the absence of these qualities in government as a major cause of widespread poverty, misery and despair.

The Vision for the Philippines:

A country with…

1. A re-awakened sense of right and wrong, through the living examples of our highest leaders;

2. An organized and widely-shared rapid expansion of our economy through a government dedicated to honing and mobilizing our people’s skills and energies as well as the responsible harnessing of our natural resources;

3. A collective belief that doing the right thing does not only make sense morally, but translates into economic value as well;

4. Public institutions rebuilt on the strong solidarity of our society and its communities.

Our Mission:

We will start to make these changes first in ourselves—by doing the right things, by giving value to excellence and integrity and rejecting mediocrity and dishonesty, and by giving priority to others over ourselves.

We will make these changes across many aspects of our national life.

A Commitment to Transformational Leadership:

1. From a President who tolerates corruption  to a President who is the nation’s first and most determined fighter of corruption.

2. From a government that merely conjures economic growth statistics that our people know to be unreal  to a government that prioritizes jobs that empower the people and provide them with opportunities to rise above poverty.

3. From relegating education to just one of many concerns  to making education the central strategy for investing in our people, reducing poverty and building national competitiveness.

4. From treating health as just another area for political patronage  to recognizing the advancement and protection of public health, which includes responsible parenthood, as key measures of good governance.

5. From justice that money and connections can buy  to a truly impartial system of institutions that deliver equal justice to rich or poor.

Economy

6. From government policies influenced by well-connected private interests  to a leadership that executes all the laws of the land with impartiality and decisiveness.

7. From treating the rural economy as just a source of problems, to recognizing farms and rural enterprises as vital to achieving food security and more equitable economic growth, worthy of re-investment for sustained productivity.

8. From government anti-poverty programs that instill a dole-out mentality  to well-considered programs that build capacity and create opportunity among the poor and the marginalized in the country.

9. From a government that dampens private initiative and enterprise  to a government that creates conditions conducive to the growth and competitiveness of private businesses, big, medium and small.

10. From a government that treats its people as an export commodity and a means to earn foreign exchange, disregarding the social cost to Filipino families  to a government that creates jobs at home, so that working abroad will be a choice rather than a necessity; and when its citizens do choose to become OFWs, their welfare and protection will still be the government’s priority.

Government Service

11. From Presidential appointees chosen mainly out of political accommodation  to discerning selection based on integrity, competence and performance in serving the public good.

12. From demoralized but dedicated civil servants, military and police personnel destined for failure and frustration due to inadequate operational support  to professional, motivated and energized bureaucracies with adequate means to perform their public service missions.

Gender Equality

13. From a lack of concern for gender disparities and shortfalls, to the promotion of equal gender opportunity in all spheres of public policies and programs.

Peace & Order

14. From a disjointed, short-sighted Mindanao policy that merely reacts to events and incidents  to one that seeks a broadly supported just peace and will redress decades of neglect of the Moro and other peoples of Mindanao.

Environment

15. From allowing environmental blight to spoil our cities, where both the rich and the poor bear with congestion and urban decay  to planning alternative, inclusive urban developments where people of varying income levels are integrated in productive, healthy and safe communities.

16. From a government obsessed with exploiting the country for immediate gains to the detriment of its environment  to a government that will encourage sustainable use of resources to benefit the present and future generations.

DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS

How To Install A Water Line To Your Refrigerator 

Here is a step-by-step water line installation refrigerator guide. A new refrigerator with a water dispenser andice maker needs to be hooked up to a COLD water line. Usually behind where a refrigerator is installed, there will be a water valve that you can use to hook cold water to your fridge. If there is no water valve behind your fridge, you will have to run a water line to the closest cold water pipe to get your refrigerator access to water. You may have a cold water pipe either behind the wall where the fridge is or possibly in the floor under the kitchen. You will need to locate where the cold water pipe is, drill to access it, and install a water valve and flexible water tubing. This usually will take an hour and a half or so to complete. You will need a refrigerator water line installation kit, a drill, a wrench, drill bits, a screwdriver, and a water line cutter to complete this project.

NOTE: If you already have an installed cold water valve behind your refrigerator, all you will need to hook up your fridge to water is some flexible plastic water tubing going from the wall valve to the fridge water inlet valve.

Step 1 – Locate and select the COLD water pipe in the floor or wall you will be using for the fridge water line. (If you have a choice, select a vertical pipe not horizontal, as sediment can enter the fridge water line easier)

Step 2 – You will be drilling a hole into the cold water pipe so turn off the main water supply to your complete house.

Step 3 – Gain access to the cold water pipe (in the wall or floor) and drill a 1/4″ hole into the pipe making sure it is as centered as possible. Make sure NOT to drill too far and make another hole out the other side of the pipe.

Step 4 – Use the water valve (saddle valve) that came with your fridge water line kit and attach it to the cold water pipe using a screwdriver and the clamps it came with.

Step 5 – Attach it right over the hole you drilled. Get the screws on the clamps tight enough until the sealing washer or gasket swells up. This sealing washer is what prevents water leaks so be sure it is tight enough until it swells to cover and seal the hole. Do not tighten the clamps with excessive force as you can actually distort the copper piping.

Step 6 – Get out the plastic water tubing from your fridge water line kit. Start the line from the refrigerator but do not install it onto the fridge yet. You may have to drill a hole through the wall or the floor if needed to get the other end to the water valve. Keep an extra 8 to 10 feet of water tubing rolled up neatly behind the refrigerator to allow enough tubing to be pulled out if you have to slide the refrigerator away from the wall.

Step 7 – Put the compression nut and ferrule onto the water tubing that came with your kit. Connect the water tube to the water valve and tighten the nut with your hand, then turn once more with a wrench. Do not over tighten.

Step 8 – Now your plastic water tube should be connected to the cold water valve you just installed. You need to clear out the water tubing to get out any gunk before attaching it to your fridge. Get a large empty bucket. Put the end of the water line into the empty bucket. Turn the main water on to your home. Now, turn the new water valve on with the end of the water line in the bucket. This will flush the gunk from the tube into the bucket. Run the water line into the bucket until the water is perfectly clean and clear. Once the water is clear, turn off the new water valve.

Step 9 – Now the other end of your water tubing needs to be connected to the refrigerator. Slide on the pressure nut and then the ferrule from the water line kit onto the plastic water line then carefully attach the nut (water line) to the refrigerator water inlet valve. Do not over tighten.

Step 10 – Now it is time to check for water leaks. Turn the water on at the water valve you just installed. If you find any leaks simply tighten the nuts or the screws on the water valve only slightly until leak stops. Never over tighten.

Step 11 – If there are no leaks, plug in your refrigerator and turn the ice maker on. When the ice maker makes ice for the first 4 times, throw the ice away as it will contain debris from inside the tubing in the fridge/freezer. If you have a water dispenser on your fridge, dispense about a gallon of water and spill it down the kitchen sink drain. This is to flush the water tubing system which can have debris or dirt from the manufacturing process.
