Table of contents: title: Acknowledgment; title: Gracious thanks and due acknowledgment go to; title: many individuals and groups, too numerous to list; title: down in the limited space here. This book would; title: not have been written if the Piglets Program had; title: not been started, nurtured and propagated with; title: the help of many people. My gratitude goes to all; title: the donors, supporters, volunteers, workers,; title: helpers, coordinators, and implementers, who in; title: one way or another got involved with me in this; title: piglets recycle program in the Philippines that we; title: started as a common effort in early 2007.; title: I am specially grateful that all of us had been; title: connected by an idea, convinced that this piglet; title: dispersal concept would greatly contribute towards; title: economic and cultural change in the lives and; title: character of our sisters and brothers in the; title: Philippines and other countries that adopt our; title: concept.; title: I am specially grateful that people came to believe; title: that is not necessary to institute a controlling; title: organization in order to implement the giving of; title: piglets to families. Everybody is free to give piglets; title: directly to whosoever and whomsoever they want; title: to give them to, without the donations passing; title: thru an organization. The revolutionary concept is; title: described in this book, and I give due; title: acknowledgement to the first groups of people; title: who followed this sincere and more believable; title: donation concept.; title: "*"; title: Contents.; title: I.

Future Book Content	127; title: Publisher's List of Books	129; title: "*"; title: Chapter I; title: I sometimes meet with my Filipino friends in; title: New York to exchange notes and discuss matters; title: specially affecting our original country of origin. I; title: refer to Philippines in particular, where I spent all; title: my life until I retired in the 1990s and migrated to; title: USA to join my children.; title: In the course of our usual conversations, we could; title: not avoid discussing the Philippines and the; title: problems of this country. I surmise that other-; title: ethnic groups do the same thing about their own; title: countries of origin. We could not avoid admiring; title: USA as the best model to emulate with its; title: sophistication and high level of economic status.; title: In general, throughout its existence, USA has; title: shown the world, its high productivity, robust; title: economy and high purchasing power of the people,; title: with all positive economic indexes that are the; title: envy of the world. It's true that USA suffers; title: economic upheavals, in cyclical periods, like any; title: country in the world, just like during the recent; title: years of 2008-2009, but America still remains a; title: truly economic power and with very high standard; title: of living.; title: Filipinos I met in NY want to help our mother; title: country, the Philippines, but always the nagging; title: question is how or what is the best thing to do.; title: The problem of poverty and lack of jobs are similar; title: in all underdeveloped countries. Everybody is; title: looking for ways and means how to improve the; title: economic conditions back home. Everybody tries; title: to think of the best formula or best method for this; title: purpose. This desire to assist one's original home; title: country is only natural for overseas workers; title: and/or immigrants who changed their citizenship; title: status to another country.; title: Backyard piggery; title: After thinking of several ways and exhausting the; title: list thereof, we stumbled on the idea to give; title: piglets to families back home. After all, raising pigs; title: or backyard piggery are very popular among; title: country folks in the Philippines. The pig as a farm; title: animal is very prolific and productive. It's a very; title: common livelihood	that has	proven	to have; title: improved the economic lives of many families. The; title: government,	the	churches,	and	charitable; title: organizations	have	used the	pig as	giveaways; title: during calamities and disasters as they know it's; title: the best tool for displaced families to start new; title: lives. In some instances, giving back 1 or 2 piglets; title: were required of these recipient-families to be; title: given to other families, to perpetuate and spread; title: the aspect of social welfare to many.; title: The giving	back	or recycling newly born; title: piglets to other families was the key to our; title: decision. We thought mere dole-outs without; title: recycling are not conducive to prosperity.; title: We conducted studies and exchanged notes in the; title: internet with other internet forum groups plus we; title: researched for results of such projects in the past.; title: All the findings that we gathered were not; title: encouraging, as most of past piglets dispersals; title: were failures. They were successful in one respect.; title: They were dole outs, pure and simple, as the pigs; title: were made to grow just to be eaten, consumed or; title: sold. None were ever given back to be distributed; title: to other families.; title: Fortunately, for the first time, as far as we are; title: concerned and based on our initial venture, we; title: succeeded now to spread the pigs to other; title: families. We found the methodology and the best; title: formula in conducting piglets dispersal or recycling; title: program and applied it to several towns. We had; title: both good results and and discovered some; title: weaknesses, too.; title: So, the purpose of this book is to describe our own; title: concept, explain the various requisites,; title: ramifications, related stories and guidelines; title: towards a properly managed and monitored piglets; title: program.; title: I think that it's necessary to record this for; title: posterity as the pig remains a very useful tool for; title: economic development not only in the Philippines; title: but other developing countries as well. The stories; title: started in many towns will continue and many; title: more stories shall ensue in the future, as sequels; title: to this one.; title: (more inside the book)
