Most Rev. Benjamin Almoneda, Bishop of Daet in the Philippines from 1991 to 2007, died on January 6, 2003 at the age of 92. He was the first non-Canadian bishop to come to our congress in Rougemont in 2004, paving the way for several bishops from other countries. (He had written to us earlier asking how Social Credit could be applied in the Philippines; we invited him to our congress, and he accepted).
Bishop Almoneda subsequently came to Rougemont several times for our congresses and study sessions, and liked to describe himself as "the first Social Credit bishop". In October 2004, he invited our full-timer Melvin Sickler on a two-month tour of the Philippines, ensuring, among other things, that Economic Democracy was presented to all the Filipino bishops. (Bishop Almoneda sent the Money Myth Exploded flyer to each bishop as a Christmas present that year.) He then had our main writings translated into Tagalog (the language spoken in the Philippines), including, of course, the Money Myth Exploded.
Here is what Bishop Almoneda said at our Rougemont Congress in 2007: "In the 15 years that I have known Social Credit, I have discovered a treasure, as we call Social Credit a treasure. But during this week, I appreciated this treasure even more. As Miss Tardif said many times, this week has been a great light. What I learned during this week is that the important thing to do now is education, to educate. They say that the mark of an educated person is someone who is able to communicate with anyone, the highest person to the lowest person...They talk about me as being Bishop Emeritus of Daet. Emeritus means retired. To understand this means you have to do something else after. And that is what I will continue to do even more: to share the ideals of Social Credit."
Thank you, Your Excellency, for all your efforts. We are certain that God will reward you a hundredfold, and we ask Him to send us other "Social Credit bishops" like you!
In this special issue of the journal, MICHAEL, the reader will discover who are the true rulers of the world. We discuss that the current monetary system is a mechanism to control populations. The reader will come to understand that "crises" are created and that when governments attempt to get out of the grip of financial tyranny wars are waged.
An Efficient Financial System, written by Louis Even, is for the reader who has some understanding of the Douglas Social Credit monetary reform principles. Technical aspects and applications are discussed in short chapters dedicated to the three propositions, how equilibrium between prices and purchasing power can be achieved, the financing of private and public production, how a Social Dividend would be financed, and, finally, what would become of taxes under a Douglas Social Credit economy. Study this publication to better grasp the practical application of Douglas' work. 
Reflections of African bishops and priests after our weeks of study in Rougemont, Canada, on Economic Democracy, 2008-2018
The Social Dividend is one of three principles that comprise the Social Credit monetary reform which is the topic of this booklet. The Social Dividend is an income granted to each citizen from cradle to grave, with- out condition, regardless of employment status.
Economic Democracy is a book to explain Social Credit in lessons presented in logical order so it may be easier to the reader to grab the main principles of Social Credit rapidly and somehow easily.
In This Age of Plenty deals with Social Credit, but it does not exhaust the topic. Social Credit principles address social and political matters, as well as, or even more so, than economics and will put civilization on a new course.
From Debt to Prosperity outlines briefly the economic analysis and constructive proposals known as Social Credit.
