FREEDOM FROM THE BONDAGE OF POVERTY : JAYVEE HINLO

"We have to have new ideas, 

we have to have new policies . . ."

JAYVEE  HINLO

President

Partido Federal ng Pilipinas

Jayvee Hinlo have not changed the idealism in him through the years.  During his college days in the early 80's in Bacolod City- Negros Occidental was considered the hotbed of NPAs. The Communist Party of the Philippines were very active in the province.  Those were the days when   student activists, laborers, farmers and other sectors of the society joined hand in hand organizing activities to protest the "alleged" atrocities of the military, corruption in government  and the alleged ill gotten wealth of the Marcos family.   Philippine economy slumped.  Rallies, long marches and people assemblies was an ordinary sight in Bacolod City.  

On the other hand, the moderates - student leaders and volunteers are busy organizing neighborhood associations training its members in backyard farming, food processing, soap making and other means of livelihood.  They espouses economic empowerment and self-governance.  Jayvee Hinlo belongs to the moderates.  After almost four decades, JV Hinlo remains the  same, an independent thinker,  idealistic  person who speaks with passion  advocating for  economic empowerment and self-governance, to free the people from the bondage of poverty and the dictates of the politicians and the central government.

When asked about what he thinks about the Duterte Administration, he replied: "The Duterte Administration must now focus on economic reforms. The Build, Build, Build Program  of the government is not enough. Our people should be empowered economically.  We must free them from the bondage of poverty!  A typical JV Hinlo, an independent thinker and a visionary.  He has not changed through all these years . . .
