Riyadh KSA 2K1 Chapter Central Region
Promises yet to be fulfilled
By Cito Beltran
More than dying for God and country, more than ridding us of a wicked mass-murderer and terrorist, the Fallen SAF-44 made us all pay more attention to the Bangsamoro Basic Law and question its legality and legitimacy. From indignation and anger, we now find ourselves asking the real questions and talking about possible consequences.
First and foremost, we now question whether the MILF can be trusted to govern a large area of one of our three main islands. How can we trust rebels who have not given up the option of armed struggle and who have stood mute if not in collusion with terrorists and sworn enemies of the state and its people? Now we ask how giving in to the MILF will bring peace with the different tribes, clans and political groupings who all claim to be co-equal with the MILF. Do we give all of them their respective independent Islamic State or Caliphate? Or shall we watch them butcher each other the same way their role model brothers in the Middle East are doing in Iraq, Syria, and Africa?
Rather than resigning ourselves to the will of the P-Noy administration we are now asking what are the non-beauty pageant reasons why the Aquino-2 administration is so fired up to push for the BBL? Is it true that the United States stands to gain access or tenancy somewhere in Davao or other parts of Mindanao to relocate their military bases in Japan, which is why the Japanese government has reportedly been fully supportive of the BBL because they can be rid of the political burden if not the curse of American military bases?
These are just some of the questions we have begun to ask or finally opened our eyes and ears to. Perhaps we should also ask the question on what will be the end result of the BBL? Will it lead to the total “Islamization” of Mindanao or worse will it ultimately lead to a new Philippine flag, one with only two stars left and a crescent moon? We all want peace but those who stand to gain the most in all of this, the MILF, must earn it not from the barrel of a gun or a Jihadist threat. Peace must be earned by shared responsibility and evidence of action. “You are either for us or against us.”
For his part, Senator Allan Peter Cayetano has stepped up and has demonstrated what being a true lawmaker and Gatekeeper is about by exposing the many wrong things in the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law. Given how the BBL gives the MILF 75 billion annually, their own police force and provisions for expansion of territories and a list of potential nightmares, Cayetano is doing well by going to media and educating all Filipinos why the BBL needs to be rewritten.

Patterns Of Leadership Behavior
The experienced leader uses many complex and subtle means to exercise his influence and stimulate those he leads to creative and productive efforts. The scope of leadership behavior is complex, ranging from highly leader-centered to highly group-centered.
1. TELLING. The leader identifies a problem, considers alternative solutions, chooses one of them, and then tell his followers what they are to do. He may or may not consider what he believes the group members will think or feel about the decision, but they clearly do not participate directly in the decision-making. Coercion may or may not be used or implied.
2. SELLING. The Leader, as before, makes the decision without consulting his group. However, instead of simply announcing his decisions, he tries to persuade the group members to accept it. He points out how he has considered organization goals and the interest of the group members and he states how the members will benefit from carrying out the decision.
3. TESTING. The leader identifies a problem and proposes a tentative solution. Before finalizing it, however, he gets the reaction of those who will implement it. He says, in effect, "I'd like your frank reactions to this proposal, and I will make then the final decision."
4. CONSULTATIVE. The leader here gives the group members a chance to influence the decision from the beginning. He presents a problem and the relevant background information, then ask the members for their ideas on how to solve it. In effect, the group is invited to increase the number of alternative actions to be considered. The leader then selects the solution he regard is the most promising.
5. JOINING. The leader here participated in the discussion as "just another member"--and agree in advance to carry out whatever the decision the group makes. The only limits placed on the group are those given to the leader by his superiors.
When you are the recognized leader of a group, you have certain prerogatives and powers. This is true whether you are the president of a corporation, the supervisor of a department, or the chair of a voluntary committee. How you use the power will affect both the productivity of the group and the freedom of the subordinates or group members. As you, the leader, use less of your authority and power, the group members gain greater freedom in making decisions; as you use more of your power, the group's freedom decreases.
An Effective Leader is:
1. Fair, just and sincere. Objective in dealing with people, promotes equal opportunity for everybody and is sincere in dealing with his/her constituency.
2. Flexible rather than rigid. "A bad leader reacts to change, a good leader responds." Flexibility means the readiness to respond and to adapt to changes that may occur.
3. Visionary and results-oriented creates a vision and has the capability to attain the best result-to-effort, outcome-to-task and output-to-input ratios.
4. Strong commitment to the ideals of the organization. Uphold and protect the principle that the group stand for.
5. Honest and responsible. Sacrifice personal agenda for the common good.
6. Motivates and unites. Promotes cooperation, volunteerism and teamwork among members.
7. Transparent and accountable. Discloses all transactions and activities of the organization and is answerable to the organization.
8. Creative. Resourceful and innovative in managing the organization and not bounded by traditional means, exploring other possibilities in pursuit of the organization's objective.
