• IN A DEMOCRACY, THE FUNDAMENTAL FUNCTION OF THE GOVERNMENT IS TO
SERVE THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE.
• THOSE WHO RUN THE GOVERNMENT ARE CALLED PUBLIC SERVANTS.
The role of the government is to serve the welfare of all sectors –
producers, consumers, employees, businessmen and the rest of the
society and the economy.
5. SUPPORT FOR ENTREPRENEURS
ENTREPRENEURS ARE IMPORTANT. THEY CREATE GOODS,
SERVICES AND JOBS.
With proper and adequate assistance programs, our government can
develop a larger entrepreneurial economy. Priorities should be focused on
micro and small enterprises. Such mass and community-based projects
utilize labor, material, management and technology. Hence the poor masses
are benefited.

The best way to empower the people is to improve their
knowledge, skills and values.

organize their enterprises.

programs in the forms of peace and order, transportation and
communication facilities, fiscal and monetary policies,
electricity and other favorable assistance.

“Development is people’s development of themselves, their lives, their
environment...Freedom is essential to development, not just a product of
it...But it should not be freedom to exploit. People cannot develop if thy

organize in their own power in their own interest.”
