SEE THE NUMBERLESS STARS, my precious friend and constant companion, how they shine. Do they care that they are stars? Nay, for they are all born of one Truelight. And in that way they become free to shine.

The one Majority takes from both Judeo-Christian as well as elements of Islamic Democracy to form an Abrahamic Democracy which considers as whole and indivisible, the one REALITY of Almighty God and the unseen supernatural order with the seen material reality of the visible universe that form the seamless whole which is the habitation of Man who is created both spirit and earth and therefore may only be understood in that context as a human being inherently possessed with a divine dignity and intrinsic natural rights.
Our ideal of secularism does not subscribe to the concept of a militantly atheistic state divided against the truth of its own humanity, nor to the belief that religion is the source of the reality of our Almighty God, we recognize and uphold the separation of religion and state but acknowledge the transcendental reality of the one LORD of all creation as inseparable to the life of our shared humanity and therefore recognize and uphold all that is honorable and true in all religions within a free and democratic society that is both pluralist and synergistic.
Unique Elements of an Abrahamic Democracy
That Almighty God, our peerless LORD and the one common Creator of all common creation, seen and unseen, transcending the totality of all human experience is a supernatural Reality that singularly reigns, sovereign and supreme, over all other realities, seen and unseen, without neither beginning nor end as the one highest of spiritual Truths unseen;
That all lineages of sacred wisdom and sacred revelation diligently preserved by each and every honorable religion in time and dimensional space is the direct result of Humankind's reaction to God's Presence in exile time and the Holy Spirit of God Being Present throughout human history and collectively constitute as a one divine trust, a one Commonwealth Trust, provided for the common good of all the nations of the one family of the nations of mankind;
That Almighty God has invested in this visible creation, the one family of the nations of mankind, as responsible stewards and co-creators with His grace and that for this reason our LORD has gifted each human being with a will that is free;
That upon this free will and its dutiful and responsible human exercise is founded the bedrock principle of an Abrahamic democracy.
...decide today whom you will serve... As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.
Joshua 24: 15
Therefore, SERVIAM: Let us each produce the fruits of a good and honorable religion; live always in the light and be led by all true things. Let us each compete in virtue and good works; to prosper the peace that all our peoples may prosper, and our nations dwell in good will, growing to each their kindred fullness in time as keepers and friends to each other.
For that is what it means to say, "peace" - it means, "I am here for you for I see your human need, my beloved friend and constant companion. Therefore, I will be to you as your hope".
How then can this peace ever be won in battle?
Lakas CMD and the one Majority in the Context of the Philippine Republic
It is the aim of the one Majority to achieve one standard of Liberty on behalf of the one Filipino nation with Lakas CMD (Christian Muslim Democrats) as established in our Salutation #04 that our endeavor of Country become enabled in exile time and the will of the people be advanced in the Republic that represents them in the state.

Elections 2010: A Portrait of a Filipino Leader
WHAT do we need to see in our leadership?
We need a leader who is above of all committed to the truth: A strong leader.
Truth is when we see a table. It is solid. It is useful. It is good. It is meaningful because its purpose is good. All true things are meaningful because they are good. And they are good independent of our reality. They are good because God alone is good.
That is the truth.
To break the table is evil because it takes the substance of the good out of its truth, making the idea of the table incomprehensible to the human soul. To say that something broken is good is to allow mischief in the heart. To allow mischief to linger in the heart is to incline one's will toward evil. And to manifest this evil in the will is sinful.
Evil harms the reality of our relationships with God and with each other.
That is also the truth.
We need a leader that is grounded in moral reality and not a moral relativist who sees things in convenient shades of gray. A leader who is committed on building up our nation upon the ageless ground of timeless truth. For this is what commitment is: It must be a commitment to the truth, for where else would one be committed to or worse, who.
We need a leader who is faithful to the office of the Republic and not to the interest of the self; one who knows how to temper justice with mercy, being forbearing in hope, patient in adversity, and humble in spirit; one who is truly loyal to the one Peace which is the sheltering wings of Country and the honor of our state.
A secular leader, sincere in word, gifted with a strong sense of humanity and inspired by our one Almighty God being aflame with parental compassion for the one Filipino nation.
That to me, is the portrait of a true Filipino leader and where I am able to see this in one of our civilian candidates, that person shall have earned the full force of my own vote as a citizen of this one Republic.

The one Majority, its Vision and Mission
The one Majority is conceived as an Abrahamic Party (of Jews, Christians and Muslims) that seeks to fulfill its intrinsic promise of peace to all the national communities of mankind through secular engagement, responsible political action and honorable citizenship.
It is an independent civic and political entity that recognizes and upholds the secular ideal of the separation of religion and state.
Neither anti-religious nor pro-religion, this party recognizes the truth that the wisdom traditions that exists within all lineages of honorable world religions serve a valuable function in that it helps to guide, shape and inform the evolving moral conscience of the body politic as a whole.
It is pluralistic in nature yet cohesive in form, being singular in spirit and indivisible in its collective will to serve the individual good of the human person while seeking to advance the common good of the nation.
It seeks to prosper the peace that the people may prosper and adheres to the one Code, a common Code of Ethics.
It is closely allied with the one Solidarity, a global apostolate of the Peace of Jesus Christ, the Centrist Democrat International and the Lakas-CMD of the Philippines.
Vision
Peace to all men and women of good will, prosperity to all the nations of the one Family of the Nations of Mankind and a better, brighter, kinder world for all men, women and children of all the generations of life to come.
Mission
To establish and defend the one Abrahamic Peace (the one Peace), foster religious harmony among all of the honorable religions of our world and enable our nations to dwell in good will, shoulder to shoulder with each other, upon the common ground of the one Peace and to advance the Faithful Causes that serve the one Commonwealth Trust of the one Family of the Nations of Mankind.
