Urban Poor represents the largest marginalized sector in our society that has no equitable representation in policy making body of our government;

During election period, everybody became politically partisans, particularly the leaders, resulting to divided urban poor sector, vulnerable to bribes and vote buying;

No established common sectoral agenda that will bind the urban poor as well as program and strategy to sustain its development and advocacy work; and

No strategy to effectively consolidate the voting power of the urban poor.

Strengthen and present USAP as NEUTRAL organization to effectively sell and facilitate the Sectoral Primaries System to identified major and secondary players in urban poor movement as well as friends and allies in government and private sector;

Present the negative implications of the continuing vote buying during election period to the the urban poor and nation as a whole;

Offer USAP Road Map and PHRASES as reference to develop the Unified Sectoral Agenda to bind the sector; and

Establish a Unified Campaign Secretariat that shall be transformed as the Common Legislative-Executive Support Staff for the winning official Urban Poor Candidates.

PHILOSOPHY: Sovereignty resides in the people, (Art. II, Sec. 1, 1987 Philippine Constitution), hence there must be congruence between the source of power (the people) and the leaders invested with the authority to exercise the power. (Law / Government Bureaucracy)

IDEA: The representatives who exercise the sovereign power of the people must be produced by a process that allows broad-based participation by them.

CONCEPT: The primaries can be understood therefore as a GOAL, PROCESS and MEANS

To raise and select God-loving, progressive and competent public officials from the rank of the urban poor sector, concerned with the common good and committed to the empowerment of the sector and the Filipino people to achieve a prosperous Philippines.

A CONSULTATIVE MECHANISM CONSISTING OF:

• PHRASES as reference for the development of the Unified Sectoral Agenda as the Political Platform;

• Vetting, i.e. qualifying, nominating, screening, etc.• Endorsing, short-listing and voting to produce the

official Urban Poor candidate.

TO BE IMPLEMENTED BY:• A Formal ‘Mandating Body’ (Structure & System)

backed up by a Unified Campaign Secretariat.

It is an Organizational Tool to Arouse, Mobilize, Unite and Organize Urban Poor Sector’s Enlightened Participation and Involvement in Effecting Leadership Change.

1. Mobilize at least 30% of the electorate per congressional district, particularly among the Urban Poor and the youth who registered as voters, to participate in the Sectoral Primaries and later support the chosen candidates.

2. Unite reform minded urban poor organizations to work for the election of good, responsible, and reform oriented Urban Poor leaders, particularly at the highest levels of government.

3. Provide an environment and a structure for a political machinery to emerge, where various urban poor advocacies may be represented and become part of the platform of government to be adopted by the USAP official candidate.
