It is a pipe dream — in the merest question of perhaps, should Federalism become a nationwide truth — that one ironclad integration of Filipino cultures be divined into social existence. Another inquiry of impossibility comes into scene, if a child is borne of obscure birthrights, how would he continue living under the state of confusion?

        In the face of sociopolitical crisis midst changing times in the Philippines, the ambition to sire a unitary entity of a culture child is yet to be radically realized, otherwise, shall remain an altogether ignis fatuus for reaping the grains of a Filipino utopia; Whereas, the grand design of Juan's personality will be further dispelled into the extremes of insanity, as if by the complex psychological ordeal of dissociative identity.

        It is a pipe dream — in the merest question of perhaps, should Federalism become a nationwide truth — that one ironclad integration of Filipino cultures be divined into social existence.

        Its perfect storm shall transcend the economic and social aspects of all eighteen Philippine regions, bringing forth the destruction of balanced mutual benefaction of Nueva Ecija's rice production and Palawan's world-class tourism industry, Cotabato's fishery between the rest of Mindanao's excellent mango yield, and Manila's ever-vainglorious supremacy over the rest of underprivileged terrains and islands of the Philippines.
