Be better than before, than yesterday...

1.  A realtor/developer who is a protege of a former Country's Chief Officer who suddenly had huge mega projects after her term of office

2.  A whiz kid whose talent is supposed to be monetizing an agri company but turned out to be well connnected to a MM city chief officer involved in his Batangas real property and later in a subway project;

3.  A local exec who would have gathered a large tract of land by backfilling large portions of the Laguna Lake.  The LLDA law says the Lake cant be reclaimed

4.  One of the Philippine wealthiest but who conned stockholder with property valuation, buying land along the path of highways (while others do not know)   and lately being involved in flood control projects

Must they be respected.  I did so for a while.

Clarity in observing listening, Sunnao (open mind) communications

Be better than before, than yesterday...

Memorandum

To:     All

Thru:    CCS

CC: xxxxx

Subject:   February 19,, 2026

Objective:

    1.  To achieve efficiency by having people follow a uniform process  or system

    2.  To move as a community forward

    3.   To achieve viability and continuity by being profitable

Background

   1.   An elderly employee was less than truthful regarding her timing in and then

         attending to personal matter, and doing the payroll herself, failed to deduct

         her undertime

   2.  A staff mentioned about her previous employer (not a nice topic when we

       are enjoined to observe FAR

  3.  An elderly staff discussed generically about cash advance, but the topic assigned was about revolving fund and pcf.  not a good communication or initiative to research

  4.  An elderly staff answered that we do not have system!!??

  5.  Closed mind talaga isa pang elderly:    injecting her agenda despite a prescribed

        agenda

What to do:

    1.  Practice SUNNAO.   Empty your cup.   Nothing will be poured into your cup if

        its full.

    2.  Observe ABCD DOCTRINE

         ACCEPT

        BELIEVE

        COOPERATE

        DANCE WITH THE MUSIC

   3.  LISTEN

        1  Hear with your ear,  LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART

        2.  A doctor can cure you by asking you questions and listening to you.

        3.  Dale Carnegie prescribes listening as an important practice in winning

            friends  and influence people

       How can we achieve our goal and be successful when certain people are hell

       bent on disagreeing (rather than agreeing)  right even the conversation starts

    4.  A SYSTEM IS IN PLACE

      Many new hires comment in a similar manner as we have heard today:  But that is 

      being objected to vehemently by this post.  No effort has been spared to 

      strengthen our system by documenting this properly at:

      1.  MC

      2.  Handbook

      3.  Admin plans

      4  Memoranda

      5.  Gmeet and  and seminars /workshop

      The only problems lies in:

     1.  Closed mind

     2.   Lack of ABCD, FAR, 3fold duties

     3.  Living in the past:   mentioning past jobs always.  (They can always return

          to previous employers if they are so endeared)

My former classmates at the prestigious university remarked during a reunion that I got one of the best courses

Be better than before, than yesterday...

During one of the get togethers we had of alumni of a prestigious Catholic universities we went to the topic of courses taken at the undergrad and their values.   Mine was on behavioral sciences.  Most of them were on sciences and engineering, math.

They said they are fixed and and predictable but human behavior is not.

But even behavioral sciences is perplexed on human behavior -  no one can predict.  Maybe BF Skinner

behavioral reeenforcements works on birds, and dolphins but not much on homo sapiens.  Did you see the horror video on the  orcas devouring the trainer, or tigers too mangling trainers?

Some of the most ungrateful species belong to the homo species.  You do everything to please and motivate them but in the end they bite back (like the snakes) and are ungrateful.  And that you must accept.  No behavioral science theory can predict and or shape how people behave.  You have to be prepared for the worst

Just look at our well paid policeman teachers, and solons.    They have not changed.     

    Has the police force improved its public service?

    How about the quality of education?

    How about the graft and corruption allegation vs solons and members of the executive branch

The question lies in the human character, will and integrity.     Not much of external carrots and sticks

Kaya the military excels in instilling internal changes in the mindsets of soldiers.  Hence theirs success

Lack of integrity, lack of corde seen in many quarters - "when the cat is away...."

Be better than before, than yesterday...

I have to do a lot of repeated travels to talk face to face with people.  The pandemic and the current "repre sent tibs"   "tong gressman"   have thrown integrity and character to the window and the dogs.    Our staff dont care about the community -  about the bayan   Forgot to become BAYANI.  Panay sarili.

That means:   no improvement, walang malasakit, walang unity, walang teamwork.  Poverty for the outsiders.   

No sense of mission.    Selfish.    Kanya kanya and with it comes feeling entitlement and with it theft and dishonesty.    Sayang mga Pinoy.    Sayang pinag aralan

Nawalang integrity...
