There are still a lot of achievements that were not mentioned here that are so overwhelming.
Currently, Syjuco is still active in doing his own thing when it comes to public service. He was a Congressman, representing the 2nd District of Iloilo, 11th and 12th Congress, House of Representatives, Republic of the Philippines. A member, Laban ng Masang Pilipino (LAMP), Mid 1998, Chairman, LAKAS NUCD, UMDP KAMPI, 2nd District of Iloilo, early 1998, Member of Manila and Cebu Polo Club, Competitor, Philippine Shooting Team with competed in the International World Shooting Championships at Thun, Switzerland, 1974. “Tito Boboy” is also into art. Aside from writing books, he also participated as an artist (painter) in several group exhibits and held one person exhibits Manila, Barcelona, Vancouver, and in West Broadway, New York City.
During our interview, he also mentioned how our Philippines should get more internet speed that what we are getting right now thus he launched Augment Broadband Speed (ABS), an organization that will pressure the government to take immediate actions in solving Philippines' very poor internet connection which is actually the slowest compared to our countries. He also discussed some of his platforms. In one of his 15 day agenda, Day 1 focuses on providing education for the masses as he believes that this will bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. Day 2 focuses on creating more jobs after people have been educated and skilled. He would like to change the policy of ownership of foreign investors from the current 40% to 60% which will still favor Filipino interest yet opening new opportunities for investors to open doors here.
Tito Boboy also discussed the current state of Social Service System (SSS) which is indeed a big issue right now and Filipinos should take note of. I'm also an active of SSS and I'm actually nervous and at the same time curious what is really going on with our contributions. Currently, President Noynoy Aquino did not approve the Php 2,000 across the board increase of SSS pensioners which is really bad because we all know there's been price increase of almost everything that we buy in tha market right now, and it would be a great help for the pensioners if it would increase. Tito Boboy explained that more than 32 million SSS workers in the private sector are in imminent danger of being cut-off from the retirement lifeline once SSS goes bankrupt. Once SSS goes bankrupt, our economy will be a big mess! There's a lot of explanation needed and more probing as well. The nation needs to know what the truth is. If senior executives of SSS gets the chance to earn almost 100 thousand a month but they can't give an increase to pensioners then there's really something going on. I'm working hard to earn money so that eventually when I grow old, I can use money if I need it for medicine or groceries etc.
After getting to know Tito Boboy, I found myself agreeing to the fact that he is indeed a qualified candidate for President. His credentials says it all and I'm not saying this because I'm being biased but clearly we Filipinos should vote for someone that is really qualified for this position, not because he/she is famous or he/she can solve the crime rate etc but because we know that he can solve the crisis here in the country and some of them are: corruption, lack of education, not enough work for Filipinos, crime rate, transportation and drugs. There's more indeed but clearly this candidate also should know how our country will rise again in terms of our economic state, we are far behind our neighbor countries when in fact back in the days of Marcos, we are much more ahead that Thailand or Indonesia even Singapore. I hope we can think more and take note who we are going to vote this coming election.
