I've witnessed firsthand how the people of Visayas and Mindanao have been left behind while the power centers of Imperial Manila continue to thrive on our taxes and resources. Our hardworking farmers struggle to make ends meet, our communities languish in poverty, all while politicians and the elite in the capital live in untold comfort. This isn't just an isolated observation – it's a reality I've lived, and it's a reality so many of us know to be true. We deserve fair treatment, the right to self-determination, and a government that genuinely serves the people's interests, not just the whims of the powerful few in Manila.

The systemic corruption and economic imbalance that have plagued our nation for decades have reached unbearable levels in regions like Visayas and Mindanao. The excessive centralization of power in Imperial Manila has led to widespread mishandling of national taxes, resulting in severe underdevelopment and the chronic neglect of our local needs. The promise of economic prosperity and regional empowerment perpetually slips out of reach due to the monopolization of resources and decision-making by the national capital.

We are calling for the peaceful secession of Visayas and Mindanao from Luzon. This is not a call to divide, but a call to get back our fair share of what rightfully belongs to our regions. By pursuing self-governance, we can ensure that our wealth and taxes are utilized locally, directly benefiting the people of Visayas and Mindanao. It's time we say enough to this systemic neglect and take a bold step towards a future where we govern ourselves, meet our own developmental goals, and protect our cultural heritage.

The dream of every individual in Visayas and Mindanao is to thrive in a nation that values equity, transparency, and intentional development. We call upon each and every concerned citizen to join us in this quest for justice through peaceful means. Please sign this petition to support the fair and noble cause of self-governance and help create a balanced, prosperous future for the Visayas and Mindanao regions.
