The rally is done. Ano ang pwede nating gawin?
1. Use this energy to get informed. Sino ba talaga ang mga karapatdapat na mamahala sa susunod na eleksyon?
We have three years to do home work and observe. Sino ba talaga ang gumagawa ng aksyon para baguhin ang sistema? Ano ang pruweba?
2. Normalize political discussions. Yung hilig at oras natin sa entertainment, memes at showbiz, ibigay din natin ang bahagi nun sa pulitika.
Kung dati hindi natin pinaguusapan dahil takot tayo sa bigat ng diskurso, pagusapan pa din.
Makikita natin sa algorithm and timeline kung lilipas din ang usap-usapan. Kung Showbiz news at Chismis ang mga susunod na mag-tretrending ulit, babalik lang tayo sa dati.
Di ko sinasabi na ito ang parating pagusapan. Kailangan lang na parte na sana ito ng iniisip natin. Yung goal ay pagbabago. Hindi bumalik sa dati.
3. Champion creators and news outlets that bring facts to light. Ang dali daling magpaikot ng tao dahil napaka-emosyonal ng diskurso ng pulitika. It can be toxic.
The goal is to unite and not divide. Walang kulay ang pagiging Pilipino.
Kung may mga Creator at news Organizations na ang intensyon ay ipagkaisa ang mga Pilipino gamit ang makatotohanan na pagpapaliwanag, ehemplo at diskurso, sila ang dapat i-aangat.
I just discovered Peso Weekly, thanks to my wife. I really like how they try to educate and inform. Marami pa.
TPC nga pala is grounded and very sound in his political discussions.
My former business partner Chris Tan who has always been so passionate, emotionally charged, and very brave with what needs to be said in politics.
Carlo Ople started Creators Against Corruption.
These are a few examples. Marami pa na pwedeng pakinggan at i-aangat.
4. For the next generation. Gen Z & Generation Alpha.
Learn from the mistakes of the older generations.
Look at how divided we are. This is exactly how the cycle prolongs itself. You will inherit this country. I'm truly worried for the future.
But if you learn and act differently. If we all try to understand and unite. All these older leaders in politics will eventually die. We want to replace them with actual leaders that can change the country.
It's hard if all our voices are shouting different things. We need to be united shouting against one thing. That is corruption.
No politician or public face is safe from that.
Corruption is corruption.
If we are united. If we don't point fingers at each other and direct all our anger as well as frustration towards one thing, then there is hope for change.

I am personally not a political person. I stay away from the heaviness and toxicity. I am honestly cynical about politics.
But there is always a hope that real change will one day come.
I truly hope this is that start. ♥️
