Self-help

THE EAR - The Freeman
August 17, 2015 | 10:00am

SELF-HELP. Someone from the Marcos regime during the martial law admin was heard on TV as batting for the revival of the Sariling Sikap or self-help program of the government under martial rule. "It was a successful community program," he said, stressing that many people learned how to use their energies to succeed in their community projects.

AGAINST. But there are people, many of them members of the anti-Marcos media who said that many unscrupulous government people used the self-help program to help themselves to the kitty ending up owning cars, luxury homes, big businesses, etc.
