EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 715 -
ESTABLISHING THE KILUSANG KABUHAYAN AT KAUNLARAN AS A PRIORITY PROGRAM
OF GOVERNMENT, PROVIDING FOR ITS ORGANIZATIONAL MACHINERY, AND FOR
OTHER PURPOSES
WHEREAS, the history of the
Philippines is the saga of a people who sailed the seas and reshaped
the land to create better conditions of life for
themselves;
WHEREAS, the present government, taking pride in this brave and
creative spirit, launched nine years ago a thorough-going program of
reform and in the process led the nation out of the Old Society into
the New Republic;
WHEREAS, in this program of reform and transformation, new directions
in policy were charted, among them a course that would bring into the
life of the nation a fresh experience in social justice;
WHEREAS, social justice had always been in reality a mere sop to
conscience or a phrase in the slogans and the rhetoric of politicians,
until it was accorded its true worth and meaning by the present
government;
WHEREAS, this revitalized concept of social justice recognizes man and
his capability for useful and life-enhancing production as one of the
most important resources of the nation;
WHEREAS, having committed ourselves to reform, we are determined that
social justice shall serve as a weapon to stimulate and assist
productive elements in Philippine society to contribute their energies
and resources to the development process;
WHEREAS, one way of achieving this goal is to transform the rural
communities into more viable human settlements, with the people relying
primarily on their own human, financial, and physical resources in the
locality through self-help and self-reliance;
WHEREAS, the Kilusang Kabuhayan at Kaunlaran was conceived as a
nationwide movement to mobilize such local resources for the
establishment of viable productive enterprises that would provide
sources of livelihood within the community, and thus make social
justice a real part of day-to-day life; and
WHEREAS, there is need to adopt the Kilusang Kabuhayan at Kaunlaran
formally as a government priority program and to install the
organization machinery to support it.
