A Letter to an Investor

Images after Yolanda compiled by International Business Times, London



Below is the template of the letter that we sent to a potential Investor for the planned settlement effort for some of the victims of tropical cyclone #Haiyan codenamed #Yolanda that are spread out in nine (9) Regions of the Philippines.

We are reaching out here to other investors. This same message is shared with other philanthropic individuals and organizations that would want to share in the rebuilding of the devastated places left by the super typhoon. The task at hand is gargantuan that economic expert Gov. Joey Salceda initially estimated a total of Six Hundred Sixty Four Billion Philippine Pesos (PHP664-B) for the entire reconstruction to be accomplished. Gov. Salceda has since toned it down to PHP398-Billion. Our estimate, coinciding with the draft Senate Bill authored by Sen. Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. is a conservative PHP150-Billion that will be spent in a spread of more or less five (5) years of rebuilding and rehabilitation.

We hope that our brothers and sisters all around the world will understand that the real task simply begins after all the relief goods have been given away.

The Investor

Dear Investor:

In the past, the proposal of the our group for a US$2-Billion fund in favor of the Philippine Government for an environment friendly resettlement project to be located in the village of Sampaloc in Tanay, Rizal Province was approved by the Investor.

The Center for Man and Society (Centre di Humanes et Societas, Inc.), over a working period of at least one year, obtained the formal Letter of Intent to the Philippine Government from the Investor to fund the shelter development project. The letter was delivered to Malacañang Palace and the housing officials of then Excellency Joseph Estrada, President of the Philippines. With the situation that the project was stalled when a new administration took over from President Estrada, we formed several private companies such as CyberparkHoldings, Inc. and Greengold CyberparkHoldings Corporation, along with Cyberpark Telecom, Inc. and other concerns.

For a start, we hereby further signify our formal intent to enter into investment venture partnership with Investor for an initial fund facility as speedily as the Investor can allow to jumpstart our development projects for the rehabilitation of communities devastated by Typhoon Yolanda.

Thank you very much and hoping for your most favorable response and being able to work with you and the Investor’s Designated Representatives in the very near future.

Faithfully Yours,

Centre di Humanes et Societas, Inc.

NARRATIVE OF FUND

In a past venture the Investor approved a fund through the efforts of Centre di Humanes et Societas, Inc. for the Republic of the Philippines Government with an absolute value of USD 2-Billion at tranches of USD50-Million for a shelter development project in the village called Sampaloc, Municipality of Tanay, Rizal Province in the Philippines.

Over a brief working period in the year 1999 when a composite private study group prepared a Project Feasibility Study and the government positively evaluated the viability of the project, a formal Letter of Intent from the Bank to fund the shelter development project was sent to then His Excellency Joseph Estrada.

After Pres. Estrada left office, there was no occasion to revive the momentum of the investment partnership with the Investor following the ascendancy of a new government under Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal Arroyo vice His Excellency Jose Marcelo Ejercito or also known as Joseph Estrada.

The fund was obtained through representations and negotiations, document submittals and evaluation over a period of less than one year. The formal Letter of Intent was issued on the approval of fund for the Sampaloc, Municipality of Tanay, Rizal Province, Philippines shelter development project by the Agent of the Investor based in the United States of America.

-- Solomon-Adonis P Botictic, Centre di Humanes et Societas, Inc.

New Prospects and Directions

The recent disaster in Visayas as shown below, galvanized our resolve to take new directions and work on new prospects. We will do our share in the rebuilding of these lost social enclaves in all of 9 regions, formerly lively, dynamic, alive and healthily breathing communities now reduced to tatters, broken down to no-man's lands.

We fully understand the difficulty with which people in the government are responding to the horrendous affair. The politicians will always be politicians, undressed down to their birthday suits, the mark will always be there. Our government workers will not be able to do anything on their own without the pols who are fighting each other.

The determination of our group, is for private sector to enter into the picture. What may be better is for the business sector to band together and achieve results on its own, without bothering the public sector.

A distinct feature of our plan however, is placing some focus on relocation. For instance, Tacloban and Samar households along the coasts will always be in danger from storm surge, tidal wave, tsunami and other similar events that are ever worsening and growing fiercer every year.

We have followed the campaign of hazmapping.com for the past two years since our inception and find the concept of relocation to capacity building for more community resilience practicable. Strengthening communities is not objectionable, but it is not the be all in disaster preparedness an already costly enterprise. We also wish to extend our heartfelt support to those campaigning for greater global awareness vs. Climate Change as well as those that are trying to caution the people of the world about solar storm.

NASA: Study says massive solar storm could wipe out power grid
Brent McGrady Albany Weather Examiner

August 21, 2010

NASA has previously warned in a study that a solar storm on the surface of the sun could hit earth in the coming years causing mass destruction of our power grids. But unlike the coronal mass ejection that provided views of the aurora borealis at lower latitudes than normal earlier this month, this type of solar storm could be so powerful it may wipe out the power grid on the entire planet.

A storm is coming: Sun's poles are set to FLIP within four months and it could lead to bad weather and radio disruption

The sun’s magnetic field is expected to flip in the next three to four months and it could lead to changes in our climate, storms and disruption to satellites. 

This solar event only happens once every 11 years and signals what physicists call the Solar Maximum - a time when the Sun's solar activity is at its highest. 

During this peak in activity the outbursts of solar energy can increase the amount of cosmic and UV rays coming towards Earth and this can interfere with radio communications, cause solar bursts of light - known as flares - and can affect the planet's temperature. More > >
