NIYAYAKAP DIN NAMIN bilang mga kaanib at kasapi ang lahat ng mga samahan at indibid­wal na mabubuhay nang malinaw na naaayon sa mga simulain at layunin, at magtataguyod sa pamamaraan at asal na sa Kalatas na ito ay tinutukoy, hindi man sila tahasang umanib o sumapi.

Bahagi 1.  Mga Simulain   

(Part 1.Principles)

Ang bawat kaanib at kasapi ng Pamayanang SanibLakas, sa abot ng makakaya, ay magsasabuhay ng sumusunod na simulain:  

(Each affiliate and member of Pamayanang Saniblakas shall, to the best of one’s capability, shall live by the following principles:)

1. Ang pantay na dignidad ng bawat tao ay patatampukin at ipagtatanggol bilang batayan ng sama-samang pag-aangking-lakas, at itataguyod ang lahatang-panig na pag-unlad ng bawat isa sa pagpapakatao at pakikipagkapwa-tao, bilang mga anak ng Kalikasan at ng Sangnilikha.

(1. The equal dignity of every person shall be exalted and protected as the basis of collective empowerment, and the well-rounded development for each one in being human and relating with others as fellow-children of Nature and Creation, shall be promoted.)

2. Ang pagsulong sa pagpapakatao at pakikipagkapwa ay isang panghabambuhay na lakbayin, na nagmumula sa marangal na kalooban, tiwala sa sarili at pagmamahal sa kapwa. Ang sama-samang pagsulong ng kalooban at katatagan ng alinmang samahan ay nakabatay sa pagsulong ng kalooban at katatagan ng mga indibidwal na kaanib at kasapi nito.  Ang lakas ng isang malusog na samahan ay ultimong nagbubuhat sa pagsasanib-lakas ng mga kaanib at kasapi sa kanilang mga diwa, sa pagsasanib-lakas nila sa kanilang mga pag-iisip, at sa pagsasanib-lakas nila sa kanilang mga pagkilos; hindi sasapat kung ang pagsasanib-lakas nila ay sa isa o dalawa lamang sa mga ito at hindi sa lahat.  Ang anumang pagpupulong na idaraos ay kaparaanan ng sama-samang paghahanap ng katotohanan at liwanag na siya namang gabay sa sama-samang mga pagpapasya.

(2. Growth of a person and one’s capacity for healthy interrelationships is a life-long process which springs forth from the inner self, self-confidence and love for others. The collective growth of inner character and strength of any organization is based on the growth of inner character and strength of its individual affiliates and members. The strength of a healthy organization ultimately springs forth from the synergies of spirit, of mind, and of action of the members; synergies in only two of these three would not suffice. Any meeting to be held shall flow along the process of collectively searching for the truth and light which shall, in turn, guide all collective decision-making.)

3.  Itataguyod ang pluralismo sa mga usaping may iba’t ibang lehitimong pananaw at paninindigan sa hanay ng mamamayan.  

(3. Pluralism shall be upheld on matters where there are varying legitimate views and standpoints among the people.)

4. Ang pamumunong kinikilala ng Pamayanang ito ay ang “pamumunong balani,” iyong humahatak sa lahat ng kaanib at kasapi na mas mahigpit na magtulungan upang maitaguyod ang anumang pinagkaisahang mga simulain, layunin at hakbangin. Hindi tunay na pinuno ang mga nagtatampok sa sarili lamang nilang mga katangian at kakayahan, at di nagtatampok at nagpapasulong sa kakayahan ng mga kaanib at kasapi.

(4. The only type of leadershjip recognized by Pamayanang SanibLakas  is “magnetic leadership,” which draws in all the affiliates and members to work more closely together to advance the principles, purposes and actions agreed upon. Projecting only one’s own characteristics and capabilities, and not projecting and enhancing the characteristics and capabilities of the affiliates and members, is not the mark of a real leader.)

(Part 2. Aims of the Pamayanan)

2. Magbuo ng aktwal na mga pagsasanib-lakas, gaya ng malulusog na samahan, pormal man o di pormal, para sa mga layuning masaklaw o partikular, pangmatagalan o pangmadalian lamang, at pag-ugnay-ugnayin ang lahat ng mga samahang ito sa balangkas ng mas matatag at mas malawak na Kaisahan.
