Talk:Emmanuel T. Santos

Philosophy
The core ideology of Emmanuel Tiu Santos is liberal social democracy. This is a synthesis of liberalism (liberal democracy) and social democracy. Liberal social democracy is a political, economic, and social philosophy that can construct a political system consisting of a liberal, libertarian, democratic, and republican state, union of states, or global union of states; a social system that envisions the construction of  a just, humane, open, and prosperous society where every individual is afforded a safety net to ensure his  human dignity; an economic system basically anchored on laissez-faire or market forces tempered with State intervention to level the playing field, promote social and economic justice, while attempting to approximate the egalitarian ideal. The core values of Emmanuel T. Santos are: love, truth, justice,freedom,initiative, creativity, knowledge, power (empowerment),self-fulfillment or sublimation, apocalyptic liberation, and happiness. The purpose of his life, raison d'etre, is to seek the perfection of his humanity and attain apocalyptic liberation; to touch the lives of others to make their life better or realize their best self. And attain happiness. Emmanuel T. Santos' epistemology uses reflective thinking, critical and analytical thinking, meditation, introspection, intuition, observation, and experience.

The National Economy
The 1987 Constitution of the Philippines clearly defines the character of the national economy as a mixed system of private enterprise and State intervention. The new charter is emphatic in declaring that the State recognizes the indispensable role of the private sector and that it is State recognizes the courage private enterprise and to provide incentives to needed investments. The Philippine economy is definitely not socialist or communist. Nevertheless, it is predominantly free market in character. However, the nationalist objectives is clear as it is made a State policy to develop a self-reliant and independent national economy effectively controlled by Filipinos. Aside from exercising its negative regulatory power, the State is mandated to take positive steps to ensure the equitable development and economic empowerment of the people in the countryside. Thus, it is State policy to promote comprehensive rural development and agrarian reform. Consistent with the private enterprise character of the economy, non-governmental, community-based, or sectoral organizations are recognized to work as a partner of the State to ensure people initiative and participation in the development of the people and the economy.
