00:00.0
One second lang guys ayusin lang natin para sigurado.
00:10.0
Ayan magsimula tayo. Ito na, ito na.
00:18.0
Ayan na, ayan na. Kamusta kayo dyan mga kameta?
00:31.0
Talagang ito ha. Ang bilis talaga ng panahon.
00:35.0
Ang bilis talaga ng panahon mga kameta.
00:37.0
Isang taon na pala since yung makasaysayan na araw na kahit si Ariana Grande ay napatweet, diba?
00:46.0
Pati si Ariana Grande, yung mga global celebrities na nakapansin ito.
00:51.0
Of course, exactly a year ago, ito po yung March 20, no?
00:55.0
If I'm not mistaken, March 20, 2022.
00:58.0
Paka, ano ha? May paka-Zalora, may paka-Shopee ha.
01:03.0
Ito sa March 20, 2020.
01:46.0
So, some of the supporters, at least some of the supporters of the previous Vice President have been questioning.
01:55.0
Where talaga siya yung natalo?
01:57.0
And perhaps, I would say, one big reason, aside from the fact that marami, of course, meron trust issues sa ating sistema.
02:07.0
Like, surprise, surprise.
02:10.0
The other reason that my sense is marami sa ating mga kababayan at marami sa mga supporters ni Ma'am Lenny Robredo, VP Lenny Robredo.
02:20.0
Isang malaking dahilan na siguro hindi sila naiwala na natalo talaga siya is because of the unprecedented number of people coming out.
02:28.0
We're talking about hundreds of thousands of people, mga kameta.
02:33.0
Siguro, the last time we saw anything like this, hindi po ito yung mga rally ni Tatay Digong.
02:38.0
Yung mga rally ni Tatay Digong, kahit yung meeting de avance niya, parang hindi kasing laki na ito.
02:42.0
I mean, I think the numbers suggest that ibang level po, ibang level po, yung numbers na nag-attend.
02:48.0
Hindi lang dito sa Pasig is Pink, pero dun sa mga ibang rallies.
02:52.0
Not to mention yung meeting de avance din ni Lenny Robredo noong 2022 elections.
02:57.0
Of course, tayo po, bilang isang vlogger, bilang isang analyst, pumunta tayo sa iba't-ibang meeting de avance.
03:04.0
Hindi lang kay Lenny Robredo, pinuntaan ko rin yung unit team, kay Sarah Duterte, and also kay Bongbong Marcos.
03:11.0
Of course, to be able to get a proper view of things, to be able to more objectively analyze what was going on.
03:17.0
So, kita niyo naman, I try to be as objective as possible.
03:20.0
At makita niyo naman, I always talk about the merits and demerits of each side.
03:24.0
Although, of course, I never buy into false equivalence.
03:28.0
So, going back to this mga kameta, based on our own personal observation, based dun sa mga aerial view, aerial shot, drone shot.
03:38.0
Based dun sa mga trending online, on Twitter, based dun sa mga commentaries, based even dun sa mga numbers.
03:47.0
Some would even say deflated numbers na lumabas from authorities, Philippine National Police.
03:53.0
We're talking about huge number of people. May paka-million strong feel yung mga rallies ni Lenny Robredo.
03:59.0
And as I say, dito mo talaga ma-realize, ang bilis ng panahon mga kameta.
04:04.0
One year na pala since that special day.
04:07.0
And of course, we know that after that day, sunod-sunod, every weekend, or every week at least,
04:12.0
we have this huge statements of support by Lenny Robredo's partisans, if I can put it that way.
04:20.0
And hindi lang sa Metro Manila mga kameta, sa iba't ibang panig ng, hindi lang Pilipinas, but mundo.
04:26.0
Nakikita natin na maraming mga supporters ni Lenny Robredo ay lumalabas at nagpapakita ng support sa kanya.
04:32.0
So, I just want to go back to this mga kameta because marami sa atin, unfortunately, may tendency.
04:38.0
May tendency na, hindi naman makalimot, pero, how should I put it? Ganito na lang.
04:44.0
Okay, so, ito yung hypothesis ko. I won't say theory.
04:48.0
Of course, yung isang dahilan na siguro yung iba.
04:51.0
Well, isang dahilan is because, sa aking palagay, marami sa atin, tinatrato ang demokrasya,
04:58.0
essentially as, you know, democracy is when there's elections.
05:02.0
So, ang tendency po ng karamihan ng ating mga kababayan is magiging super active or relatively more active
05:09.0
noong panahon ng elections because we kind of, you know, we kind of create this one-to-one correspondence
05:17.0
between democracy and elections.
05:19.0
So, isang dahilan is because we treat democratic politics in a cyclical manner.
05:24.0
The other reason, of course, is, let's be honest, sobrang toxic na yung politika natin
05:30.0
over the past few years especially. I mean, let's just be brutally honest about it.
05:34.0
Especially since nanalo si dating Pangolong Digong noong 2016, ibang klase na yung mga politika natin.
05:40.0
I can say personally, grabe yung mga trolling na ginawa sa atin.
05:43.0
Grabe, may mga death threats, may mga kabastusan kung anong ginawa sa atin.
05:47.0
Pero, of course, tayo naman, alam mo naman, alam mo naman, alam mo naman, mga kafuego.
05:52.0
Hindi tayo magpapano sa mga ano na yan, diba?
05:55.0
Mga respect my opinion na lang tayo, right?
05:58.0
So, mga kameta, alam natin, napaka-toxic.
06:00.0
So, the other tendency is that when people are plugged in sa ating politika but very temporarily
06:07.0
because yung tolerance level po ay hindi pa rin nandyan, diba?
06:11.0
So, syempre, yung mga katulad natin, yung mga kafuego natin dyan, medyo matigas ang ulo, medyo matapang, kaya-kaya.
06:17.0
Yung iba nga sa atin, binabanat pa yung mga nagbabash, diba?
06:21.0
So, ako, personally, I enjoy bashing the bashers kasi alam naman natin yung mga bashers na yun.
06:27.0
Alam mo naman, diba? Karamihan yung mga yan. Ayaw ko na i-bash yung mga yan.
06:30.0
Alam nyo na, tingnan nyo lang profile picture pa lang, parang,
06:38.0
Gusto mo lang ganito, te!
06:40.0
Assuming totong tao pa.
06:42.0
Anyway, mga kameta.
06:44.0
So, naiintindihan ako.
06:45.0
So, number one reason is many of our people tend to treat politics,
06:49.0
I mean, treat democratic politics in a cyclical manner.
06:54.0
Especially presidential elections, every six years, doon lang natin nakikita na next level ang tao.
06:58.0
And of course, we have the two etsas.
07:00.0
You can also count etsa tres.
07:03.0
Although different socioeconomic class and background.
07:06.0
The second reason, mga kameta, is because super polarized yung politics natin.
07:10.0
So, marami sa ating mga kapababayan, as I said, they're plugged in but very temporarily.
07:15.0
Because, yun nga, nakaka-stress, diba?
07:19.0
Mahirap na nga ang buhay.
07:21.0
Ang daming drama sa buhay.
07:22.0
Ang daming ano, tapos ito pa.
07:24.0
Kailangan ko pa kausapin si OG Diaz.
07:27.0
Kailangan ko pa, mayroon pang drama si Liza.
07:30.0
Maraming drama sa buhay, diba?
07:32.0
So, kung maraming drama sa buhay, of course, syempre yung energy mo, limitado lang.
07:36.0
Kailangan mo magtrabaho.
07:37.0
Kailangan mo kumita.
07:38.0
Kailangan mo yung mga marites.
07:40.0
Yung mga katrabaho mo.
07:41.0
So, sa daming stress sa buhay, marami sa ating sinasabi na,
07:44.0
Well, there's just so much I can take.
07:46.0
So, the tendency is we have transitional or transient.
07:50.0
Transient activism.
07:53.0
But the third reason, mga kameta, sa aking palagay,
07:55.0
na maraming hindi nakamove on dun sa resulta ng last elections,
07:59.0
is because, mga kameta, lalong-lalo na yung mga nakakita.
08:03.0
Whether in person, whether through social media,
08:07.0
or katulad natin, both,
08:09.0
nakita nila, grabe, ang daming tao lumabas.
08:12.0
I mean, dik naman naman yung mga pictures, mga kameta.
08:14.0
Hindi ito yung mga katulad ng mga, alam mo, mga unity,
08:18.0
mga respect my onion type.
08:19.0
Hindi ito mga onion na, hindi ito mga sibuyas.
08:21.0
Hindi ito mga, ano, yayamanin na red sibuyas.
08:27.0
It is not the red sibuyas.
08:29.0
It is the, ano, ha!
08:31.0
You get what I'm saying?
08:32.0
So, I think, marami sa ating nakakita nito,
08:34.0
yung maraming tao na nagdagsan sa roads,
08:37.0
nagdagsan sa mga boulevards.
08:39.0
I mean, filled up whole boulevards, right?
08:42.0
It's so impressive, at least visually,
08:44.0
that this caught the attention of the world.
08:47.0
Ariana Grande joined the chatroom.
08:50.0
So, I think that's also one big reason sa mga kameta na
08:53.0
marami hindi na naiwalan na
08:55.0
bakit nanalo yung kabila tapos ang laki pa ng agwat?
08:59.0
So, Lenny Robredo, you know, 25-30%,
09:03.0
between 25-30% and then yung isa, almost 60%.
09:07.0
So, marami sa ating mga kameta, including mga kameta,
09:10.0
hindi na naiwalan sa resulta.
09:11.0
Kasi sinabi niya, o bakit wala naman ganon si BBM, diba?
09:13.0
O wala naman ganon si Sarah, diba?
09:15.0
O bakit sila nanalo sila ng ganyong kalaki pa ng agwat?
09:19.0
So, some would say the entire results are,
09:21.0
again, these are allegations.
09:22.0
Some would say the entire results are fabricated.
09:24.0
Some would say that, yeah, maybe natalo,
09:26.0
but it should have been much closer, etc., etc.
09:29.0
So, there are a lot of theories about that.
09:31.0
So, mga kameta, ako naman ang stance ko is like this.
09:35.0
First of all, diba?
09:37.0
First of all, of course, yung number of voters po natin
09:41.0
At least eligible voters natin ay lampas sa 50 million.
09:44.0
So, even if 1, 2, 3, even 5 million
09:47.0
coming out throughout the months,
09:49.0
that doesn't necessarily suggest that, you know,
09:52.0
50 million are with Lenny,
09:54.0
or 30 or 40 million with Lenny.
09:56.0
Again, I'm just trying to, you know,
09:57.0
I'm just trying to approach this in a scientific way, right?
09:59.0
So, well, you could argue that this was just
10:03.0
the tip of the iceberg,
10:04.0
or some would say this is probably already half,
10:07.0
or 20 percent, or 10 percent of the total support.
10:10.0
So, 1 million or 2 million of us,
10:12.0
15 million total vote ni Lenny,
10:14.0
baka hindi totally unreasonable.
10:15.0
That's one argument, no?
10:17.0
Obviously, as I said, the counter argument would be
10:19.0
this was just the tip of the iceberg.
10:20.0
This was just the tip of the iceberg.
10:22.0
Eh, yung kabila nga, ba't yung tip ng iceberg nila?
10:24.0
You know, parang ganon yung argument, diba?
10:26.0
Again, I'm just laying out the argument there.
10:29.0
But what I'm saying is that,
10:31.0
you know, these are,
10:33.0
parang the idea of 1, 2 million coming on the street,
10:35.0
and then getting 15 million in total,
10:37.0
might not be totally out of this world also.
10:40.0
I'm just saying, right?
10:41.0
Now, the other thing we have to keep in mind is
10:44.0
the surveys we're suggesting,
10:46.0
and I'm talking about different kinds of surveys,
10:48.0
not one survey, not two surveys,
10:49.0
but different kinds of surveys,
10:50.0
including surveys attached to very reputable agencies,
10:53.0
reputable experts groups,
10:55.0
people na kilala natin, na malapit sa ating puso,
10:57.0
na kilala natin, colleagues natin,
10:59.0
napakagaling na political scientists, statisticians.
11:01.0
Well, they were also suggesting that,
11:03.0
well, the actual numbers of the vote,
11:05.0
you know, turnout for a specific person
11:07.0
will be quite different from the enthusiasm
11:09.0
we're seeing here, you know?
11:10.0
So, flash in the pan,
11:12.0
kumbaga, could be the counter-argument.
11:14.0
Again, ha, or like the froth on top of the,
11:17.0
So, that was the other thing that we're looking at.
11:21.0
But there's a third thing, mga kameta,
11:22.0
that I want to emphasize here.
11:24.0
Again, ha, please, you know,
11:26.0
don't shoot the messenger,
11:27.0
wag kayong mag-alit.
11:29.0
The other thing we have to keep in mind, mga kameta,
11:31.0
is that there was actually a difference
11:32.0
in strategy of Lenny Robredo
11:34.0
and strategy of Bongbong Marcos
11:36.0
when it came to rallying support.
11:38.0
So, yung style nila
11:40.0
ng camp ni Lenny Robredo,
11:42.0
the strategy was,
11:43.0
ask your supporters to concentrate
11:45.0
in certain area and send
11:47.0
a very strong signal,
11:49.0
or very strong visuals.
11:51.0
While kung pansin nyo,
11:52.0
si BBM mas mahilig sa motorcade.
11:55.0
So, ang ginagawa ng campaign nila BBM
11:57.0
was not to concentrate all of their supporters
11:59.0
in a certain area,
12:01.0
but actually motorgate through
12:03.0
different provinces, etc.
12:05.0
So, ang maging counter-argument na kabila is,
12:07.0
you would think that konti
12:09.0
yung support kay Bongbong Marcos
12:10.0
because it's very well dispersed
12:12.0
along the, you know,
12:13.0
mga iba't ibang panig ng ating bansa
12:15.0
na motorgate ni BBM.
12:20.0
So, in short, you could say
12:21.0
one has a more horizontal approach,
12:23.0
one has a vertical approach.
12:24.0
So, horizontal in the sense that
12:25.0
spread thin yung kay BBM
12:27.0
going through motorgate different areas
12:29.0
while kay Lenny's concentrated.
12:31.0
So, suddenly you have this
12:32.0
very, very impressive visual.
12:34.0
This is the other thing
12:35.0
that we have to keep in mind.
12:36.0
The fourth thing we have to keep in mind,
12:38.0
while the support that came out for Lenny
12:40.0
in a lot of these big cities
12:41.0
tend to be the middle class
12:42.0
of the Philippines.
12:44.0
the middle class in general
12:47.0
And then some numbers suggest that
12:49.0
just a plurality or barely a majority
12:51.0
of the middle class
12:52.0
is actually sided with the opposition
12:54.0
against the UNITEAM, etc.
12:55.0
So, again, I'm not making
12:57.0
a final judgment here.
12:58.0
I'm just trying to
13:00.0
help you guys understand
13:02.0
yung lay of the land.
13:04.0
And how statistically speaking,
13:06.0
the way things turned out
13:08.0
based on the final results
13:10.0
may not be totally crazy or out of this world.
13:12.0
But, nonetheless, of course, mga kameta,
13:14.0
we need full transparency
13:16.0
pagdating dun sa counting process, etc.
13:18.0
At katulad ng pinag-usapan natin, mga kameta,
13:21.0
eto yung pinag-usapan natin last meeting,
13:25.0
as much as we have to pay attention
13:27.0
meaning the vote count part,
13:29.0
we also have to pay attention
13:31.0
meaning yung mga allegations
13:34.0
meaning cheating that happened
13:35.0
before the vote was even casted.
13:37.0
And we know there's a lot of,
13:39.0
well, at least allegations
13:41.0
and there are a lot of groups
13:42.0
who are saying that actually
13:43.0
a lot of vote buying happened.
13:44.0
So, you could question
13:45.0
the entire integrity of elections
13:46.0
from that point of view alone,
13:49.0
even without going to the technicalities
13:51.0
of the vote count,
13:54.0
All of this criticism
13:55.0
that is coming from
13:56.0
former ICT secretary
13:58.0
and former AFP Deputy Chief
14:01.0
General Rio Jr., for instance.
14:05.0
So, I'm just trying to give you
14:07.0
the lay of the land
14:08.0
because ayaw natin maging,
14:09.0
you know, I don't want to give
14:10.0
just a biased, partisan point of view.
14:12.0
I'm just trying to show you guys
14:13.0
what are the arguments
14:14.0
and counter-arguments here.
14:15.0
But, again, as I said,
14:16.0
politics is an emotional thing.
14:18.0
Politics is a visual thing.
14:20.0
Politics is a question of heart.
14:22.0
Politics is a question of conviction.
14:24.0
It's a question of aspiration and hope.
14:26.0
So, kung ikaw ay nakapunta
14:27.0
sa mga ganitong events,
14:28.0
and when you saw so many people
14:30.0
so passionate and enthusiastic,
14:32.0
it's very understandable
14:33.0
that your expectation
14:34.0
would be very high.
14:36.0
if the expectation is very high,
14:39.0
the final official results
14:40.0
were something na hindi tugma dyan,
14:42.0
I can also understand
14:43.0
while marami sa ating mga kababayan,
14:45.0
I'm very disappointed
14:46.0
yung marami dyan nadidepress,
14:48.0
iba almost parang PTSD level na,
14:50.0
na hindi nakakatulong,
14:54.0
yung iba nag-denial mode,
14:56.0
nag-faces of grief,
14:59.0
again, I understand it.
15:00.0
And I understand it again
15:01.0
because of this particular backdrop,
15:05.0
of this particular context.
15:07.0
Yun po yung pinag-usapan natin
15:10.0
what I really want to talk about
15:12.0
huwag na yun sila
15:13.0
Robin Hood and all.
15:14.0
Next time na yan,
15:15.0
parang magulo na masyado
15:16.0
kung pinapapasukin ko pa
15:20.0
kasi nagda-drama rin sila
15:21.0
na mag-resign siya
15:23.0
Ilan na ba yung factions
15:25.0
Mag-faction na naman ulit
15:27.0
nagkaroon na constitutional change,
15:29.0
Pag-usapan kayo separately.
15:30.0
I don't want to be
15:31.0
the muddy waters.
15:33.0
Mamaya natin pag-usapan natin
15:34.0
mga constitutional experts natin.
15:36.0
Specialty, of course.
15:39.0
Let me go to this mga kameta
15:40.0
because what I want to talk about
15:44.0
Remember yung argument ko
15:45.0
nung panoon na yan.
15:48.0
during the election was
15:51.0
hindi manalo si Lenny,
15:55.0
Even if, let's say, okay.
15:57.0
Even if legitimately tanggap nyo
15:58.0
na hindi siya nanalo, alright?
16:00.0
Or tanggap nyo na hindi siya
16:01.0
legitimately nanalo.
16:02.0
Okay, baliktalan natin.
16:07.0
si Lenny sa election na yan
16:08.0
because she was able to
16:09.0
mobilize so many people
16:11.0
not for an ETSA revolution 1,
16:13.0
for an ETSA revolution 2,
16:15.0
but for an election.
16:17.0
Just the number of people
16:19.0
The sheer enthusiasm,
16:22.0
The people would go
16:25.0
The size of the campaign.
16:26.0
The level of volunteerism.
16:28.0
This is almost unprecedented.
16:30.0
We have not seen anything like that
16:31.0
in a very long time.
16:33.0
At least as far as
16:35.0
progressive, liberal, opposition
16:37.0
leaders and a campaign
16:41.0
So in spite of lack of budget,
16:44.0
in spite of all of the attacks
16:47.0
from not one but two camps,
16:49.0
if not three camps at some point,
16:51.0
Tatay, Isko, BBM,
16:54.0
lahat yung mga different camps nila.
16:56.0
They were all converging
16:59.0
Nakiusupan yung mga ibang candidates
17:02.0
but gladly at least
17:03.0
hindi sumama si Manny Pacquiao
17:04.0
sa Kudus to Senator Pacquiao.
17:06.0
You know what I'm saying?
17:10.0
to be able to mobilize
17:11.0
that kind of enthusiasm
17:13.0
against the grain of
17:14.0
six years of authoritarian populism,
17:16.0
against the grain of
17:18.0
a lot of negativity
17:21.0
and toxicity and all.
17:24.0
that in itself was a victory.
17:28.0
that's why binabalikan ko
17:29.0
itong issue na ito.
17:31.0
Because as I argued,
17:33.0
as I argued repeatedly,
17:34.0
even after the election
17:35.0
over and over again,
17:38.0
to sustain momentum.
17:40.0
The word is sustain,
17:42.0
It's one thing to generate
17:46.0
But for enthusiasm
17:49.0
into political capital,
17:51.0
kailangan mo nang
17:54.0
Yun po ang challenge parati.
17:56.0
And yun yung argument natin
17:57.0
repeatedly last year,
17:59.0
Sinasabi natin yan,
18:01.0
Doon sa mga article natin
18:02.0
na Lenny and the Future
18:03.0
of the Pink Movement.
18:04.0
Basayan nyo ulit.
18:05.0
Ang dami nag-share yan.
18:07.0
siguro million ang views na ito.
18:12.0
I wrote, I think,
18:13.0
three columns along these lines
18:16.0
on how the opposition
18:18.0
can still be a winner
18:20.0
regardless of what happens
18:21.0
in these elections.
18:22.0
So, I've been writing about this.
18:24.0
And I've also said na
18:26.0
the Philippines can always
18:27.0
replicate the progressive victory
18:30.0
if certain mobilization tactics,
18:33.0
certain charismatic leadership projection,
18:35.0
and charismatic leadership enlistment
18:38.0
would come into picture.
18:39.0
Yun yung parati natin
18:40.0
sinasabi, mga kameta.
18:41.0
Anyway, going back to this,
18:43.0
ang argument natin is
18:44.0
sana, mga kameta,
18:50.0
is a country kung saan
18:52.0
hindi lang may pakiantao
18:54.0
during elections period lang.
18:56.0
At hindi lang may pakiantao
18:59.0
yung kanilang kandidato.
19:01.0
we have a situation sometimes
19:02.0
nanalo na ang kandidato nila
19:03.0
tapos nag-switch off na sila
19:06.0
In fact, in many ways,
19:07.0
yun ang parang sinabi ni BBM na
19:09.0
kami nang bahala,
19:10.0
pwede na kayo mumuwi.
19:11.0
Parang halos ganun yung sinabi niya
19:12.0
dun sa inauguration speech niya.
19:14.0
But that's wrong.
19:15.0
That's not how democracy works.
19:16.0
Democracy is about
19:17.0
active citizenship.
19:19.0
participatory politics.
19:21.0
You have to participate.
19:22.0
And democracy is not about
19:25.0
It's exactly what happens
19:26.0
after the ballot is cast.
19:29.0
You make sure na the election
19:31.0
You make sure you challenge
19:32.0
if wala integrative elections.
19:34.0
kung nanalo ang candidate mo,
19:35.0
you push your candidate
19:36.0
to really fulfill
19:37.0
his or her promises.
19:40.0
Kung nanalo naman yung
19:41.0
kabila, yung kalaban,
19:42.0
or someone that you believe
19:43.0
is a threat to democracy,
19:44.0
or a threat to your values,
19:46.0
or a threat to our economy,
19:48.0
our foreign policy,
19:49.0
then you also have to
19:50.0
mobilize for that.
19:51.0
At yun po yung parating natin
19:53.0
Na medyo kapos tayo
19:54.0
pagtating sa ganun.
19:55.0
So, we're good in generating
19:57.0
We're good in generating
19:59.0
at least, you know,
20:00.0
a semblance of movement.
20:02.0
But we know very well,
20:04.0
if you want to create
20:05.0
isang kilusan talaga
20:06.0
para sa pagbabago,
20:07.0
a progressive movement,
20:08.0
which is what allowed
20:09.0
America to go from
20:10.0
super tropical populism
20:11.0
of the late 19th century
20:12.0
to relative democratic
20:14.0
activism and progressivism
20:16.0
of early 20th century.
20:17.0
So, I can give you examples
20:18.0
from all around the world.
20:19.0
Sabi nga nila, di ba,
20:20.0
you won't have change
20:21.0
unless you struggle for it.
20:22.0
And struggle is not
20:23.0
just a matter of one month,
20:24.0
two months, one week,
20:26.0
No, it's a matter of
20:27.0
sustaining it over months,
20:29.0
and sometimes decades.
20:31.0
That's how you get
20:32.0
real, real change,
20:33.0
transformational change.
20:34.0
Hindi lang yung feel-good moment.
20:35.0
Hindi lang yung pakit moment.
20:38.0
you know, that day of
20:41.0
and then forget about it
20:42.0
after six months, one year.
20:43.0
So, pinabalikan ko yung mga kamayta
20:44.0
because as I said,
20:45.0
the challenge here
20:47.0
that moment of enthusiasm
20:48.0
into an actual movement
20:50.0
for progressive reform.
20:53.0
the jury's still out.
20:56.0
parang medyo kapos
20:58.0
sustaining this momentum.
20:59.0
But the other side
21:04.0
expect the mobilization
21:09.0
but expect it perhaps
21:10.0
middle of next year.
21:12.0
Expect it by 2024,
21:13.0
there'll be moves made.
21:19.0
based on all of the
21:20.0
preliminary surveys
21:21.0
out there mga kamayta,
21:24.0
to become a Senator.
21:28.0
top three or top five
21:29.0
in the Senate race
21:32.0
It could be anyone's game
21:36.0
people are wondering
21:42.0
political momentum.
21:44.0
tulfo factor here,
21:45.0
which could really muddy
21:46.0
the water for that camp.
21:47.0
And that could create
21:48.0
a lot of new space,
21:53.0
if that is the strategy,
22:01.0
you are perpetuating
22:02.0
this cyclical approach
22:04.0
At the same time,
22:05.0
let's just be practical
22:06.0
and work with what we got.
22:07.0
It's not like those people
22:09.0
sa mga boulevards na yan,
22:10.0
sa million-strong shows na yan,
22:13.0
nawala ng pag-asa lahat,
22:16.0
A lot of them still have
22:17.0
a lot of residue,
22:18.0
or more than a residue
22:21.0
not only for Lenny,
22:22.0
but what Lenny stands for,
22:23.0
and people similar to Lenny.
22:24.0
So, the idea is that,
22:28.0
imobilize yung voters and all,
22:31.0
these people coming out.
22:33.0
you know where I stand.
22:35.0
sustaining momentum
22:36.0
is very important
22:37.0
in different ways.
22:38.0
Now, I heard that
22:39.0
one argument is that
22:41.0
organization in Lenny,
22:43.0
it's one way of keeping
22:44.0
at least the spirit
22:46.0
and progressive commitment.
22:49.0
it has to go more than that.
22:50.0
There has to be, like,
22:51.0
really chapters made,
22:52.0
really organizations made,
22:54.0
grassroots movements made,
22:56.0
of these very people
22:57.0
who showed up that day.
22:58.0
You know, warm bodies
23:00.0
showing their support,
23:03.0
not multiple times.
23:04.0
At least 15 million people
23:06.0
in a very difficult,
23:08.0
under very difficult
23:10.0
in a very, very difficult
23:12.0
I mean, you had not,
23:13.0
I mean, Lenny was not
23:14.0
against one person,
23:15.0
she was against two, right?
23:17.0
and BBM combined.
23:18.0
Very, very difficult
23:20.0
And yet, and yet,
23:21.0
she was able to bring
23:22.0
all of these people.
23:24.0
I think this is gonna be
23:25.0
the debate right now.
23:26.0
Are we gonna wait
23:30.0
a transient thing
23:31.0
or there's more to it
23:32.0
or some would say
23:33.0
maybe there's already
23:34.0
something happening
23:35.0
you're just not appreciating
23:36.0
or others would say
23:37.0
eh, mukhang that was just
23:39.0
a flash in the pan.
23:40.0
Mukhang malabo na
23:42.0
ganitong enthusiasm again.
23:43.0
But I don't know.
23:44.0
I think the jury's still out.
23:45.0
I think Lenny still has
23:52.0
the right lessons
23:53.0
from the last elections
23:54.0
and if she runs for the Senate
23:55.0
and tops the race
23:56.0
or emerges amongst
23:59.0
a 2.0 version of this.
24:00.0
But all I'm saying
24:04.0
to be a real democracy
24:06.0
a strong opposition.
24:07.0
And when it comes to
24:08.0
having a strong opposition
24:09.0
it cannot just be
24:10.0
near every elections
24:12.0
election period, right?
24:14.0
through and true.
24:15.0
And para sa akin,
24:18.0
this semi-movement
24:20.0
that emerged last year,
24:24.0
of what we could have
24:25.0
in our democracy.
24:28.0
or progressive movement
24:31.0
because if you go
24:32.0
to other countries
24:38.0
South Korea for instance,
24:41.0
even to a certain degree
24:42.0
in a lot of these places
24:45.0
of democratic struggle,
24:47.0
passionate commitment.
24:48.0
I was in Hong Kong
24:51.0
that hundreds of thousands
24:52.0
of people were there.
24:53.0
People coming out
24:55.0
over and over again
24:57.0
they were constant
25:01.0
is not a democracy.
25:02.0
It's just a city state
25:03.0
under control of China.
25:04.0
It's a different story
25:05.0
but if you go to Taiwan,
25:06.0
if you go to Korea,
25:08.0
Scandinavian countries,
25:09.0
you go to Europe,
25:10.0
you go to Latin America,
25:15.0
exactly one year ago
25:21.0
every few months,
25:24.0
for commemoration
25:25.0
of something important,
25:31.0
mobilizing against
25:37.0
and winning the elections
25:38.0
as he did last year
25:39.0
because that was important.
25:40.0
If you sustain the movement
25:41.0
and the movement is there,
25:42.0
then that movement
25:44.0
come election day
25:45.0
because one risk is that
25:46.0
if you try to mobilize again
25:47.0
during election day,
25:48.0
baka medyo late na
25:51.0
and by this time,
25:55.0
into the political soil.
25:56.0
So yun po yung mga
26:01.0
because I'm trying
26:02.0
to keep an open mind
26:03.0
and not to come off
26:04.0
as someone who's just saying,
26:05.0
oh, eto yung mali,
26:07.0
No, I'm just saying
26:08.0
there's a lot of potential here
26:09.0
but potential is just potential
26:11.0
unless it's realized.
26:12.0
And to realize it,
26:13.0
you have to sustain it
26:14.0
and sustaining that potential
26:15.0
is extremely important
26:17.0
to having a competitive,
26:21.0
carrying the torch,
26:22.0
carrying the baron
26:24.0
for democratic struggle
26:26.0
and reform in the country.
26:27.0
Anyway, thank you very much
26:34.0
Kay Annabelle Gamoras,
26:35.0
Catherine Palmeras,
26:39.0
Thank you very much.
26:40.0
Kay Edna De Villa.
26:42.0
Thank you very much also
26:44.0
Kay Ma'am Eden Olona
26:45.0
as always also joining us,
26:47.0
Kay Noemi Tablada
26:48.0
as always supporting us.
26:49.0
Marami po yung sumusuporta sa atin.
26:50.0
I always appreciate it.
26:52.0
mataas na engagement natin ngayon
26:54.0
because I can see many people
26:55.0
have strong feelings about it
26:57.0
even if the enthusiasm level
26:59.0
has kind of faded
27:01.0
and it's not the same as yesterday.
27:03.0
Pero parang ano yun eh?
27:04.0
Char, parang first love.
27:06.0
Char, baka pwedeng bumalik.
27:10.0
Baka may pagka-old flame ito.
27:12.0
Huwag naman sana super old flame.
27:14.0
Natin dito sa mga supporters natin
27:17.0
Andami natin mga supporters.
27:19.0
Andami comment na to.
27:21.0
mamaya tayong magdebate.
27:29.0
Thank you very much.
27:36.0
Nagviral yung ano natin ah.
27:37.0
Yung interview natin
27:41.0
Hindi yung original gangster.
27:42.0
OG as in OG Diaz.
27:46.0
Parang weird nga eh.
27:47.0
Mas nagviral siya dito,
27:50.0
YouTube channel natin
27:52.0
kaysa dyan sa Facebook
27:54.0
because our following is way bigger there on Facebook
27:58.0
120,000 views na po tayo dyan.
28:00.0
I think this is among my highest
28:03.0
Of course, dito sa Facebook
28:04.0
naka-millions views na tayo
28:05.0
for some of our videos.
28:06.0
So, anyway, mga kameta,
28:08.0
check nyo rin yung kay OG Diaz.
28:10.0
And please also continue to support
28:11.0
yung podcast natin,
28:12.0

magpopost na rin tayo na mga kameta.

28:22.0
Sabi ko nga, diba,
28:23.0
we're hoping sana,
28:25.0
we'll push ahead with doing more
28:26.0
studio interviews and all.
28:29.0
magkakaroon na tayo,
28:31.0
ng stint more formally
28:32.0
again in mainstream media.
28:33.0
But that will be a different thing
28:34.0
that will be more about geopolitics.
28:36.0
But I want to do more interviews
28:37.0
like yung ginawa natin with OG Diaz.
28:39.0
Talk to people in the showbiz industry.
28:41.0
Talk to sports people.
28:42.0
You know, something that's more
28:43.0
out of what I do in mainstream media
28:45.0
and God willing, I'll be doing more
28:46.0
in the mainstream media.
28:47.0
We want to do that.
28:48.0
