07:60.0
And then yung mga pinaka-competitive ng potential candidates ng opposition
08:03.4
Mukhang may ibang plan
08:04.3
Yung iba ayaw na tumakbo sa Senado
08:06.2
Yung iba, iniisip nila kung tatakbo pa sila sa politika
08:08.9
So on and so forth
08:09.9
So, ang argument ko dito is
08:13.4
One way to figure out anong dapat gagawin ng totoong opposition
08:17.8
Sa darating na election
08:20.9
Is tulakad yung mga breakout stars na meron tayo over the past year or so
08:25.5
On one hand, para sa akin, breakout star talaga si Rafi Tulfo
08:29.5
Hindi necessary dahil sa kanyang ranking dun sa last year's 2022 elections
08:36.3
Because actually he was expected to top it
08:38.4
And then si Robin Padilla pa yung nakatop
08:40.1
Nevertheless, of course, expected na pag Tulfo, mataas talaga maging ranking yan
08:45.3
Because of the Tulfo brand and the appeal it has
08:47.8
Which we'll discuss more later on
08:49.3
But I think what makes Rafi Tulfo's case quite interesting is
08:52.8
Bentang-benta rin siya
08:54.3
Dun sa mga tao na hindi believe sa mga Tulfos
08:56.7
Or medyo ayaw or critical sa mga Tulfos
08:58.6
I would say even personally
08:59.5
I used to be more critical of the Tulfos
09:02.4
But when I started paying attention
09:04.1
Especially dito sa policy positioning ni Rafi Tulfo
09:06.9
Especially sa issue like China
09:08.2
Sa national security, critical infrastructure
09:11.6
Not to mention yung kanyang
09:13.6
Yung mga sinangabina sa land grabbing, etc
09:16.1
Parang in fairness naman
09:19.8
Mukhang matinoy yung kanyang positioning
09:21.1
Now obviously, this doesn't mean na
09:23.2
I'm gonna take back some of the criticism I've made of the so-called Tulfo brand of justice
09:29.5
At of course, I think pati sila namaminada naman sila
09:31.8
Na minsan medyo hindi sila gano'ng ka-exactly tama
09:34.9
Doon sa kanyang mga ginagawa
09:36.5
I mean, mga ba ang usapan yan?
09:37.8
But you know the context of the conversation
09:39.2
You can also check of course
09:40.4
Yung interview natin with Senator Rafi Tulfo
09:45.1
Available on YouTube yan
09:46.4
And I also posted snippets of that
09:49.0
But I think the other interesting case
09:50.8
I mean, she's not running for Senate
09:52.7
Mukhang medyo mahirapan siya kung she runs for Senate in the near future
09:56.0
But I think Representative Franz Castro is another interesting case
09:57.6
But I think Representative Franz Castro is another interesting case
09:58.6
But I think Representative Franz Castro is another interesting case
09:59.3
But I think Representative Franz Castro is another interesting case
09:59.5
But I think Representative Franz Castro is another interesting case
10:00.3
Of someone who's not a liberal
10:01.8
She's not your standard liberal democrat or liberal candidate
10:07.0
But I think she has done a very, very good job
10:10.0
Of becoming more and more a mainstream political figure
10:13.5
Almost a household name, right?
10:16.0
Malaking bagay yan
10:16.8
Considering where she started
10:18.3
Before the 2022 elections
10:21.2
Almost hindi natin siya kilala
10:23.3
Kasi mas kilala pa natin yung mga ibang mga progressives
10:31.8
Teddy Casino, for instance
10:34.2
So, si Nery Colminares, of course
10:39.1
Na tumahapog para sa Senado
10:40.6
On multiple occasions
10:41.5
So, I think she has done very good
10:43.2
Considering from where she started
10:44.4
Now, obviously, she has to push this
10:46.0
She has to push closer to the ceiling
10:47.8
But I think in terms of floor starting point na
10:50.5
She has done very well
10:51.7
That's why for me
10:52.4
Siya yung pinaka-breakout star of last year
10:54.5
Considering from where she started
10:55.9
Although, ultimately, ang argument ko dito is
10:59.5
Still remains as the most successful model
11:02.1
Of how the opposition should move forward
11:04.3
Essentially, bringing political appeal
11:06.2
And electoral acumen on one hand
11:07.8
At saka yung kanyang conviction politics
11:10.9
Mahalaga-mahalaga yan
11:12.0
Now, let's first start with President
11:14.1
Marcos Jr. and Rodrigo Duterte
11:17.0
So, essentially, two parts tayo today
11:19.1
Pagtating sa discussion
11:20.1
I just felt this is also, you know
11:22.0
Kaysa artificially slice-slice ko
11:23.9
Throughout the days
11:24.8
Kasi some other developments can come up
11:26.4
Sometimes, itong pwede natin gawin sa mga live
11:28.3
We can discuss two issues
11:29.9
Not relatively related to each other
11:31.5
Or yung mga kasama natin dyan
11:33.5
Pwede naman nila tignan na
11:34.9
Tignan nila yung iba't-ibang part
11:36.6
Na mga analysis natin
11:39.2
Doon sa ating mga platforms
11:41.0
Ayan, yung mga nag
11:41.8
Yung mga nagtutrol sa atin sa TikTok
11:45.8
Umayos naman kayo
11:48.1
Yung six years nga nasa power
11:49.6
Kayo, ang dami nagtutrol sa akin
11:50.9
Hindi gumahan din
11:51.5
Tapos gusto nyo sa tingin
11:52.9
Yung ngayon gagahan na yan
11:53.8
Anyways, thank you sa engagement
11:55.9
Balikan natin ito
11:59.3
Don't even try, alright
12:05.0
Unang-una pag-usapan natin yung kaso ni
12:09.8
Yung seeming makeup, no?
12:12.5
Dalawang higanting
12:16.1
Dynasties or political forces in the country
12:19.3
I don't want to say dynasty per se
12:21.4
Kasi yung kapatid nung isa
12:22.5
Medyo nandun sa kapila
12:23.8
Mamaya natin pupunta dyan
12:27.2
Si President Marcos Jr.
12:30.2
He's always available
12:31.7
To meet President Duterte
12:35.0
Para pag-usapan yung mga issues of concern
12:38.6
Yung mga hidwaan nila
12:41.8
Of course, hindi na amin ni President Marcos Jr.
12:44.4
Na talaga may hidwaan sa pagitan ng administrasyon
12:48.2
At saka mga Dutertes
12:49.3
Because at least yung kanyang position is
12:50.8
He's still number one fan of Saddle Duterte
12:53.0
And everything is fine and dandy
12:54.1
Which we know, of course, is not the case
12:57.0
So, may report yung Bloomberg News kanina
12:58.6
Na republish dito sa South China Imports
13:00.5
Basahin natin mga ito, mga kameta
13:03.2
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
13:05.1
Has offered to meet with former leader Rodrigo Duterte
13:07.6
Amid rumors of a brewing destabilization
13:09.4
Being linked to his predecessor
13:10.8
Of course, itong destabilization plot
13:12.5
Ito pa yung sinasabi na
13:14.4
May mga retired generals or officials
13:18.2
Or mga sundalo na nag-uidraw daw ng support
13:21.9
Kay President Marcos Jr.
13:23.5
And of course, that automatically raises eyebrows
13:26.4
And makes people think that he's a good guy
13:26.9
Some people wonder kung ano bang mangyari dito
13:30.1
Ang mangyari ba dito
13:30.9
Iskudeta or something like that
13:32.2
And considering there were multiple persons
13:34.8
In the defense establishment
13:37.1
Who were not only purged
13:38.2
But were pushed out
13:39.3
You're talking about the
13:40.3
First National Security Advisor of Marcos Jr.
13:43.4
Talking about the AFP chief
13:46.2
In the first six months of Marcos
13:48.4
You're talking about
13:49.6
The defense secretary
13:51.9
The first defense secretary that Marcos Jr. had
13:54.3
And you can talk about many people
13:56.8
Red Tigers na tanggal
13:58.4
So, it's not like
14:00.3
You know, concerns or rumors
14:03.8
Of yung mga fissures or tensions
14:07.1
Sa defense establishment
14:10.8
Alam natin na noon pa lang
14:13.0
Especially in early 2022
14:15.3
May mga concerns na doon
14:16.8
Sa stability ng civil-military relations
14:19.5
Yung tinatawag ng civil-military relations
14:21.1
Ito yung relasyon ng Pangulo
14:23.1
At saka yung sandatan lakas
14:25.0
At saka yung mga defense establishment
14:27.5
Ako, personally, skeptical ako
14:29.9
Because katulad nung pinag-usapan natin
14:32.6
Doon sa isang episode natin
14:35.2
Na any of the relevant generals
14:38.2
Who are actually serving right now
14:39.7
Are sympathetic to
14:42.5
You know, calls for destabilization
14:44.8
Or anything like that
14:45.5
And honestly, for retired people
14:48.4
To withdraw their support
14:50.1
Like, as if they matter
14:52.9
Questionable kung yung mga
14:54.2
Nag-withdraw ng support
14:55.1
Ay people actually matter
14:56.6
In terms of having influence
14:57.7
Doon sa mga tao na nandun
14:59.4
Sa loob ng sandatan lakas
15:01.7
So, parang more rumors ito
15:05.4
Pa-effect lang yan
15:06.3
Kaysa real threat to
15:07.6
President Marcos Jr.
15:08.7
President Marcos Jr. being
15:09.6
President Marcos Jr.
15:11.2
You know, you have to be
15:12.4
You have to make sure
15:13.5
You keep things on an even keel
15:16.7
Ito yung konteksto
15:18.1
Sinabi ni President Marcos Jr. na
15:19.9
Wala naman tayong problema dito
15:21.5
Lahat pwede nga natin pag-usapan
15:23.1
So, ayon kay Marcos
15:26.6
To meet with Duterte
15:27.7
Ito, ayon sa kanyang
15:30.0
Communication Secretary
15:34.7
At pwede rin nila pag-usapan
15:36.4
Itong issue ng SMNI
15:38.1
Itong issue ng SMNI
15:39.8
Dahil, of course, alam nyo
15:42.2
Suspended ang SMNI for one month
15:45.7
Was it two weeks ago?
15:47.7
And damay rin yung show ni Digong
15:50.2
Although yung show ni Digong
15:51.5
Separately was also facing suspension
15:53.5
Dahil sa kanyang incendiary remarks
15:55.7
Including yung mga
15:56.6
Alleged death threats
15:58.9
Sitting member of the Congress
16:00.8
Whom we mentioned a while ago
16:03.7
So, as you can see
16:06.5
Ito yung sinasabi ko parate
16:09.1
President Marcos Jr.
16:10.7
Ang gagawin niya is
16:13.6
Bring down tensions
16:14.6
Parate ang gusto niya is
16:15.8
Bring down the fuego
16:19.9
Conflict avoidant siya
16:21.0
And some would argue
16:26.9
If he wants a meeting
16:28.3
Sabi ni Marcos Jr.
16:31.2
To have that kind of discussion
16:32.6
So, ito yung officially statement
16:34.5
Galing sa Malacanang
16:35.4
President Marcos is always available
16:37.3
To President Duterte
16:38.2
The President will contact him now
16:40.1
To ask if he wants a meeting
16:45.9
Siyempre alam nyo naman
16:46.8
Nag-drama si President Duterte
16:48.7
Also over the weekend
16:49.6
May mga sinabi siya pa siya
16:54.8
Among other things
16:57.5
My only concern is to help my friends
16:59.8
Because the NTC has not even
17:01.1
Come up with an allegation
17:02.0
Or charge of my wrongdoing
17:04.6
Has always been careful
17:05.5
Why is this happening?
17:06.6
Medyo nagwala si President Duterte
17:08.5
I'm just biding my time
17:10.0
One of these days
17:10.6
I will come up with a statement
17:11.6
Not necessarily defending
17:13.5
But just to say something
17:14.5
About the way things are
17:16.8
Kasi ang dami nang sinabi
17:18.6
Parati yung nagreklamo
17:21.6
Anong biding my time
17:22.8
Ang sinasabi niya
17:23.5
Kasi parati naman siya
17:24.2
Nagreklamo sa ETCA
17:26.5
Dun sa confidential phone
17:27.8
Na anak niya na tinanggalan
17:30.2
I'll just refer to my show
17:31.2
Because that's what is important to me
17:33.7
Suspended din yung show niya
17:35.1
Sabi ni Digong also
17:39.8
Na may secret meeting daw
17:41.2
With military police official
17:43.4
For any potential
17:46.5
Who would believe me
17:47.5
What police or military officer
17:48.7
Is crazy enough to meet with me
17:50.3
Well, I don't know
17:50.9
That must be crazy
17:52.3
I'm already retired and poor
17:56.0
How is he retired?
18:00.0
Yung mga nagsasabi na may
18:01.0
Destabilization plot
18:02.3
Ito yung insecurity nila
18:03.4
Maybe it's all in their mind
18:04.6
Wala namang daw nangyari
18:09.3
The Tercellinist program
18:10.5
That he remembered talking to
18:11.5
Some retired generals
18:12.4
But emphasized to them
18:13.2
That as long as there's no
18:14.2
Serious issue of corruption
18:15.3
Wala dapat problema
18:16.5
So, he also wondered
18:18.1
How I was dragged into
18:18.9
This talk of destabilization
18:23.4
And then doon naman
18:27.5
Well, I cannot be active
18:28.6
Participant in politics
18:30.0
She has to be on her own
18:32.6
Pushing back against
18:35.6
To be more active
18:37.5
He's pushing back
18:38.7
Against all of that
18:41.8
Marcos is quite careful
18:42.7
I really do not know anything
18:43.8
I'm outside Malacanang
18:44.7
I don't have any contacts
18:45.9
Anymore since I retired
18:46.8
I do not bother to ask questions
18:49.2
Now, if you read through
18:51.2
Parang dating niya sa akin
18:55.6
How should I put it
19:02.1
At the very least
19:03.3
Parang sinasabi ni Digong
19:07.7
Cool down lang tayo
19:09.0
So, maybe that's his way
19:10.8
Of de-escalating tensions
19:16.2
Maybe that's his way
19:17.6
Ayun natin ng away
19:19.5
All the way gano'n
19:21.0
His way of playing safe
19:24.3
Ang mga accusations
19:25.2
Ng destabilization
19:28.7
Mukhang nag-gets din niya
19:29.6
Na palaban si Marcos
19:30.9
Nag-gets din niya
19:31.8
Na palaban yung kampo nila
19:33.5
Nag-gets din niya na
19:36.2
Kasi siya yung presidente
19:38.1
Yung house leadership
19:38.9
Also with the president
19:40.7
So, maybe this is
19:43.3
Of trying to bring down
19:44.8
And also to make sure
19:46.8
Yung kanyang anak
19:47.4
Who's the number two
19:52.8
Medyo worried din si presidente
19:54.1
May mga sinabi din siya
19:56.1
Religious matters
19:56.9
That I'd rather not go to
19:58.0
Alam niyo naman mga
19:58.6
Meta-sensitive ako
19:59.5
Sa mga gitong issue
20:00.2
I'd rather not get into it
20:01.3
Whether he was serious
20:03.3
I'd rather not make a comment on it
20:06.6
Tama yung sinabi ni
20:07.4
PH Review among others
20:09.0
I won't say kabado
20:11.2
Pero medyo mukhang
20:14.2
Nakkaroon siya ng reflections
20:19.0
That's the time for some reflection
20:20.8
Including yours truly
20:23.3
They have to shift gears
20:27.1
Medyo nag-sports mode
20:28.2
Kasi si Digong eh
20:31.9
Sabi niya ang Pilipinas
20:36.4
Pumunta pa siya sa Japan
20:37.5
Without any coordination
20:39.4
Rotten yung Congress
20:41.6
Hindi ko naman sinabi
20:43.0
Pero mukhang na-gets niya na
20:44.9
The balance of power
20:45.7
Is very much skewed
20:49.6
At least temporary recalibration
20:53.4
Time is on his side
20:56.7
That the Marcos camp
20:57.6
Will do very well
20:58.5
In the 2025 elections
21:01.5
Camp did very well
21:02.4
In 2019 elections
21:04.3
Camp did very well
21:05.1
In 2013 elections
21:08.0
Probably with the exception
21:09.0
Of the Arroyo era
21:09.9
In 2007 elections
21:15.5
At maganda yung performance
21:16.5
Nang isang incumbent
21:18.8
Sa midterm elections
21:23.4
A peak fight right now
21:27.4
From a position of
21:28.2
Even greater strength
21:31.4
Constitutional change
21:32.5
At yun yung parating
21:34.9
This is very interesting
21:41.4
When he was a senator pa
21:43.3
Kung gusto magbago
21:44.4
Nang sa ligang batas
21:45.3
Gawin mo habang maaga pa
21:46.6
And then he also ran
21:48.5
On the federal party
21:50.8
Nung tumakbo siya
21:51.6
Bilang presidente
21:53.8
Once he won power
21:56.6
Nag-tone down siya
21:58.0
He didn't even mention
21:58.8
Federalism at all
22:00.7
First and even second
22:01.8
State of the nation address
22:05.2
During the election time
22:06.5
Parang medyo malabo ito
22:08.5
Wala naman clamor
22:10.7
Dahil dun sa reputation
22:11.8
Niyang kanang ama
22:12.6
Yung ginawa ng kanang ama
22:14.1
Constitutional change
22:18.6
Introduce a whole new regime
22:20.3
Personalistic regime
22:21.4
Slash dictatorship
22:23.2
Na medyo controversial
22:25.1
To talk about constitutional change
22:28.8
Iba na yung inip ng hangin eh
22:30.0
Medyo komportable na siya
22:32.3
Constitutional change
22:35.1
There is really a plan
22:35.9
For constitutional change
22:37.6
Changing the so-called
22:38.7
Aquino constitution
22:40.1
At least that's how
22:40.9
The pro-Marcos camp puts it
22:44.1
If you look at it
22:45.1
Earlier this year
22:49.1
Is not even the primary
22:50.2
Target of constitutional change
22:53.1
Because alam natin
22:54.1
In the parliamentary system
23:00.6
Na not necessarily
23:01.8
Ganong kakarismatic
23:04.4
Meron kang malaking
23:08.0
So you can become
23:09.7
As long as you have
23:10.5
The biggest party
23:11.6
In the parliament
23:13.5
The biggest coalition
23:14.2
In the parliament
23:16.1
Or super majority
23:16.9
Or the biggest plurality
23:19.9
I think parliamentary
23:22.2
To push for constitutional change
23:23.9
Maybe may pagka-federalism
23:25.1
Just to also win over
23:26.3
People like Robin Hood Padilla
23:28.3
And very interestingly
23:30.9
Yung isa sa mga tao
23:32.3
Na who will be very crucial
23:35.3
A constitutional change
23:36.4
Ito yung si Martin Romaldes
23:39.2
Sa kasalukuyan na taon
23:40.3
Magiging priority na talaga
23:45.1
Nira-rush na daw nila yan
23:46.6
Dahil mahalaga ito
23:47.6
Para sa ating bansa
23:48.8
We had a lot of conversation
23:53.6
About all these arguments
23:54.7
That constitutional change
23:55.6
Will automatically
23:56.2
Solve all the problems
23:57.4
There are many explanations
23:58.6
For national success
24:00.6
A communist country
24:01.2
Like China and Vietnam
24:01.9
Can be successful
24:03.0
Non-communist countries
24:06.1
Can be successful
24:08.9
Non-presidential systems
24:10.0
Can be successful
24:10.8
There are many factors
24:11.6
That explain success
24:12.8
Economic success especially
24:14.3
Including trade and industry
24:15.9
Especially trade and industrial policy
24:17.8
But we had separate vlogs
24:20.4
Pero natin pag-usapan later on
24:22.9
Si Speaker Romaldes
24:24.6
Na House Bill No. 7352
24:27.2
Enabling measure for resolution
24:30.0
Or the resolution calling
24:30.9
For constitutional convention
24:32.8
Garnet 301 affirmative votes
24:35.0
With only 7 lawmakers
24:36.2
Voting against it
24:43.0
The twin resolutions
24:43.9
Are in a rush to amend
24:44.8
These restrictive provisions
24:45.9
Of the constitution
24:48.2
Restrictions on investment
24:51.6
Kailangan natin yan
24:55.3
Although as I said
24:57.0
There are many ways
24:57.6
To get the economics right
24:59.0
Including you know
24:59.8
Bring down corruption
25:00.6
Which you don't necessarily
25:01.7
Need to just change
25:02.5
The form of government
25:04.0
With existing laws
25:05.6
Commitment to that
25:06.9
And there should be
25:07.8
Necessary reforms
25:11.7
If it's just about economics
25:13.4
Actually nakapasa tayo
25:22.0
Senate and Congress
25:23.6
Yung IRR lang kasi
25:25.7
Finalized on time
25:27.0
Delayed the implementation
25:29.0
Before we can say
25:35.9
Na binili mo lang
25:38.7
Yung argument nun
25:40.6
Debate around that
25:41.3
At yun yung pushback
25:44.6
Many pro-Marcus people
25:46.3
Win in the Senate
25:47.1
The balance in the
25:50.6
Really talk about it
25:58.7
Political succession
26:05.3
A good retirement
26:06.0
Or semi-retirement
26:07.2
Look at ano nangyari
26:08.7
Nung wala na siya
26:18.2
Probably si Ramos
26:19.6
Lang hindi masyado
26:21.6
Ramos is probably
26:22.4
The only ex-president
26:24.4
Que Corazon Aquino
26:25.2
Didn't face as much
26:26.7
From their successors
26:32.1
Very good retirement time
26:34.0
You also want to make sure
26:35.0
That after you step down
26:36.3
From office in 2028
26:37.5
Or whatever it is
26:38.9
You have a successor
26:42.5
So that's what I'm saying
26:46.1
There's a very high
26:48.6
That there will be
26:52.2
Hindi lang sa kongreso
26:53.1
Pero ba't isa sana
26:55.6
Constitutional change
26:56.3
After 2025 elections
26:58.5
Lots is happening
27:00.8
And these are issues
27:02.1
That we'll continue to cover
27:03.3
In the coming months
27:08.1
Now interestingly
27:08.9
Because there's still
27:10.4
Opposition in the senate
27:11.4
And that opposition
27:14.1
After 2025 elections
27:15.6
Just to play safe
27:17.1
Mukhang plano dito
27:18.7
For a people's initiative
27:21.3
Ng isang people's
27:22.8
You can more or less
27:27.9
Kasi kailangan mo
27:28.6
Ng super majority
27:33.0
Of constitutional change
27:34.3
So you may be able
27:35.6
To actually circumvent
27:37.3
So-called people's initiative
27:38.5
Again we can have
27:39.0
A different vlog on that
27:39.9
Pag-usapan natin yan
27:42.0
The clouds are gathering
27:44.3
Constitutional change
27:45.7
So time is actually
27:50.0
In the Duterte camp
27:52.4
Are you gonna accept
27:53.4
A subordinate position
27:55.4
Into full-on opposition
27:56.5
And then there's a wild card
28:00.2
May issue a warrant
28:01.0
Of arrest sometime this year
28:05.0
Of the Marcos Jr.
28:06.3
And then the next question
28:07.8
What will the Marcos Jr.
28:08.9
Administration do
28:11.2
If this comes before elections
28:12.9
Because this could allow
28:16.0
Yung Duterte camp
28:16.7
To mobilize their people
28:18.1
But this could be also
28:19.3
A way to completely
28:22.1
Any potential rival
28:23.9
And railroad the way
28:26.0
All the way through
28:27.0
And push for constitutional change
28:28.8
We'll keep it there
28:29.7
Thank you very much
28:30.5
For discussion on this part
28:32.0
I hope you appreciated
28:34.2
Because I'm showing to you
28:36.0
There's so many aspects to this
28:37.8
At ang daming mga
28:40.0
Ang dapat titignan ni
28:43.3
But in the meantime
28:44.4
It looks like both sides
28:48.6
If not a rapprochement mode
28:54.2
If you look at time
28:55.2
It's really on BBM side
28:56.9
And whether the other side
28:58.7
Is just gonna sit back
29:00.2
I have my doubts about it
29:03.1
Now let's go to the next part
29:05.0
I think this is very important
29:09.7
Yan na naman yung mga
29:15.1
Helpless case sa Senado
29:16.7
So huwag na kayo tumakbo
29:17.9
Huwag na kayo mag-ambisyon
29:19.7
Huwag nyo salangin pera nyo
29:21.0
Focus na kayo sa LGU level
29:27.1
Hindi madaling LGU level
29:28.5
Minsan mas mahirap pa yung LGU level
29:30.5
Because pagdating sa Senado
29:33.2
Name recognition pa lang
29:35.4
I'll just give you a good example
29:37.4
Lito Lapid for instance
29:38.5
I think he tried to run
29:41.8
I'm not sure he was very successful
29:44.4
I don't think even
29:46.7
Pasa yung movie lang niya
29:47.8
Ang probinsyano yun na yan
29:49.3
Pasa name recall lang
29:52.4
Minsan mas mahirap yung LGU level
29:54.0
Kasi ang kabanga mo dyan
29:55.6
Yung napakalakas na dynasty nandun
29:57.8
And you need massive machinery
30:01.9
And all of others
30:02.8
To actually have a chance
30:04.5
LGU could be much harder
30:06.2
Kaya sa national level
30:07.9
Nagmamagaling dyan na
30:09.6
Huwag na mag-ambisyon
30:10.9
Nandun lang sila sa LGU
30:12.7
Of course I agree
30:18.0
You have to get mayors
30:22.9
Potentially running for
30:29.6
Pretty decent chance
30:32.1
She'll be in a position
30:32.9
To do an Exhibit A
30:34.8
Exhibit A culture
30:36.6
In the case of Davao
30:37.5
In terms of politics
30:40.1
Kung talagang yung Exhibit A na yan
30:41.5
Ay magandang may exhibit
30:47.5
For national projection
30:48.4
And even presidential
30:49.4
National projections
30:54.7
Was the successful one
30:57.9
But there are many
30:59.5
Which are extremely
31:00.4
Extremely difficult
31:01.2
Extremely difficult
31:02.1
And then there's also
31:04.9
The other aspect of this
31:08.9
If there is gonna be
31:10.6
Which most likely
31:11.7
Push for constitutional change
31:13.4
The real opposition
31:14.7
Has to have a seat
31:17.1
The only real opposition
31:18.9
The minority in the Senate
31:20.9
Doon naman sa Kongreso
31:22.2
Ilalang bang opposition dyan
31:26.1
Yung totoong opposition
31:28.1
Nagpapa-opposition lang
31:33.6
To various in the Senate
31:34.6
And mukhang sa Congress
31:36.7
It's just so lopsided
31:40.6
Naka 300 plus na sila
31:50.6
But in the Senate
31:51.7
Dahil malitang Senado
31:54.7
You may just need
31:58.1
From the real opposition
31:59.6
And with conviction politics
32:01.3
Na things don't go
32:06.1
It's a name recall issue
32:08.0
There are many people
32:08.9
From the opposition
32:09.6
Who actually have
32:10.8
Sufficient name recall
32:13.3
Like Kiko Pangilinan
32:14.6
To certainly give
32:16.7
And Franklin Drilon
32:21.1
Of course many of us
32:21.9
Are hoping that he'll still
32:22.9
Make another run for this
32:25.2
Baka third time lock
32:28.2
So there are like
32:30.5
I can think about
32:31.6
At the top of my head
32:34.4
Potentially may run
32:35.4
Parang alam natin
32:37.0
Kino-position niya
32:43.6
Opposition leaders
32:47.4
Even if one third
32:50.1
Two or three of them win
32:51.1
Together with his auntie
32:52.5
And then who knows
32:53.2
Maybe two or three
32:53.8
Independents in the next senate
32:55.0
They may make enough noise
32:59.0
Enough opposition
32:59.9
To make it very difficult
33:01.4
For the other side
33:02.7
The constitutional change
33:05.1
It's both indispensable
33:07.8
It's not totally undoable
33:09.2
And let's not also
33:10.7
Underestimate how difficult
33:12.6
And sometimes LGU
33:13.4
Is much difficult
33:14.2
Much more difficult
33:15.9
Especially if you have
33:16.9
Already people with
33:19.6
All of those things
33:20.8
Ang talagang naman ngayon is
33:23.9
What's the way forward
33:25.5
For the opposition
33:27.2
What is the way forward
33:28.0
For the opposition
33:30.0
Pagdating sa opposition
33:41.1
Parang outlier there
33:46.1
Insisting na siya
33:50.0
For the first time
33:52.1
Walang taga-opposition
33:53.3
Na nalas sa senado
33:55.5
And then last year
33:58.7
Something is not working
34:01.5
Pagdating sa opposition
34:04.6
Ang opposition sa Pilipinas
34:08.1
In not necessarily
34:10.9
Liberal in the sense of
34:12.3
Very conservative
34:15.0
System conservative
34:17.4
Hindi naman talagang
34:19.4
Change ang gusto nila
34:20.2
Yung mga konti-konti rin there
34:21.6
Tapos medyo pa disente
34:23.6
And then medyo okay naman
34:25.2
On some of the other policies
34:26.4
Social cultural policies
34:29.0
In fairness naman
34:29.7
Also against corruption
34:31.5
Now we can have a long argument
34:33.5
Anti-corruption initiatives
34:36.5
Or some of the liberal
34:38.1
But generally we know
34:38.8
That they're better
34:43.6
Authoritarian people
34:45.7
Hindi yun gumana eh
34:49.4
Wala nang appeal yun
34:50.1
Wala nang appeal yun
34:51.7
And if you look at it
34:53.9
For 2028 for instance
34:58.7
If there were to be
35:00.3
Ang maging top 2 candidates
35:04.3
So let's first start
35:05.7
With the Rafi Tulfo case
35:07.2
What Rafi Tulfo shows us
35:08.8
Is something quite interesting
35:11.4
Because in the case of Rafi Tulfo
35:12.7
It looks like he's
35:13.7
He's diversifying his base
35:20.0
The Duterte style of base
35:21.7
Yung gusto niyang
35:26.1
But if yung kalaban mo
35:29.4
Sa kanya na yan eh
35:30.7
Medyo mahirap yan
35:32.3
That constituency
35:35.3
It electorally makes sense
35:37.3
To broaden his base
35:38.8
And at the same time
35:45.7
Sa education for instance
35:47.7
He's really genuine
35:48.4
About some of the things
35:50.0
And then increasingly also
35:51.5
We see that on foreign policy
35:52.6
For instance right now
35:53.4
Na yung kanyang positioning
35:55.4
Hindi ito out of nowhere
35:56.8
If you have been actually
35:57.6
Following Rafi Tulfo
35:59.5
He has been making
36:00.0
Some very good interventions
36:02.9
Sa mga land grabbers
36:04.4
Of course yung mga busada
36:06.9
These are big issues
36:08.0
And I think he's genuinely
36:08.8
Considerable about these things
36:09.7
But if you look at it
36:11.1
He raised big issues
36:13.2
Itong National Grid
36:15.0
Corporation of the Philippines
36:16.4
A very problematic
36:19.1
Legacy of President Arroyo
36:21.0
Essentially allowing
36:22.4
A Chinese state-owned company
36:24.2
To have 40% stake
36:25.8
And arguably have
36:33.4
This is the allegation
36:34.2
And this actually was raised
36:37.5
Senator Miriam Defensor
36:38.6
Then Senator Rizon Tiveros
36:40.7
Of course the most prominent
36:43.7
Who has even suggested
36:45.0
That the President
36:45.9
Should even consider
36:51.2
Critical infrastructure
36:52.1
Nakita niyo natin
36:54.7
Also took a tough stance
36:55.7
On West Philippine Sea issue
36:56.8
And openly called out
36:58.0
Actually the Vice President
36:59.1
For taking a position
37:00.5
On the West Philippine Sea
37:03.1
Ng ating administration
37:21.6
Ni Rafi Tulfo yan
37:24.4
Dapat sigurado yun
37:25.2
Ng Vice President
37:26.1
Ng kanyang position
37:26.9
Yung hindi ka nakalayo
37:29.3
Or you're not sending
37:31.1
That may undermine
37:39.0
Greetings sa China
37:41.1
Dami memes and spoof
37:45.2
With the Philippines
37:46.1
Sabi ni Sarah Duterte
37:47.6
We hope that our partnership
37:49.5
Agriculture trade
37:50.2
Investment science
37:51.5
Pero parang si Tulfo
37:53.9
Hindi natuwa masyado
37:56.3
Ang point niya is
37:57.8
Well you wanna make sure
37:59.3
That the statements you make
38:00.3
Especially sa gitna
38:01.9
Nang hidwaan natin
38:02.7
Sa West Philippine Sea
38:05.2
The wrong signals
38:09.5
Ito yung malaking
38:21.2
Sobrang agree ako
38:24.7
Kaibigan na sinasabi
38:26.3
Justing transition
38:27.4
Meaning hindi kawawa
38:29.7
Yung mga ating mga
38:32.6
Cheapening drivers
38:33.4
We wanna make sure that
38:34.5
Anong proposal nun
38:36.8
Or something like that
38:37.7
Or mag-new car sila
38:39.9
Mas mahal pa sa fortune
38:40.9
Or something like that
38:42.5
Or something like that
38:43.1
There's nothing wrong
38:45.4
But it has to be done
38:46.3
In just reasonable
38:47.2
At hindi bara-bara
38:48.0
At hindi bara-bara
38:48.6
Kasi malaking sektor din
38:50.5
Ang pinag-usapan natin dito
38:51.7
At kung napaka-mahal
38:54.3
Yung process of transition
38:56.9
Mga ordinary consumers
39:04.4
Ang solution dyan
39:06.0
Actually last year
39:07.2
For the very first time
39:08.5
China became the biggest
39:13.1
I mean it's insane
39:14.2
The level of success
39:16.1
In the past 5 years alone
39:19.7
Naalala ko yung first time
39:24.2
Parang pinagtatawanan
39:25.1
Yung pangalan pala
39:32.7
Pag tinignan mo yung mga itura
39:35.5
They're really impressive
39:36.6
Now I don't know about
39:38.5
Some other people
39:39.8
Can say a lot about it
39:41.9
China is gonna be big
39:43.0
Pagdating sa electric cars
39:48.4
We can have our own arguments
39:49.9
About how China got
39:50.8
This technology and all of that
39:51.9
But I think you should also
39:53.1
Credit the Chinese government
39:55.4
For very good industrial policy
39:57.5
Supporting yung kanilang
39:59.1
Mga EV manufacturers
40:00.9
So they're at least
40:07.8
And their cars are beautiful
40:09.1
I'll tell you that
40:10.0
I mean I'm more into
40:11.3
You know European cars
40:14.9
I like nice fancy cars
40:16.0
But I will give it
40:17.3
To the Chinese cars
40:17.9
They really look good
40:19.5
The color schemes
40:21.1
The design is gorgeous
40:22.3
And the price is super good
40:26.1
At least in terms of
40:26.8
What you first see
40:28.5
Hindi naman natin alam
40:29.3
We have to see over 5-10 years
40:30.6
Anong itura ng mga kotse niyan
40:31.9
From the first things
40:34.0
We're seeing here
40:34.7
I think especially
40:35.4
BYD cars are good quality rin
40:41.1
Are also investors there
40:45.8
The appeal of the Chinese cars
40:47.7
Especially electric Chinese cars
40:49.4
I really can see that
40:50.4
And China is also dominating
40:52.3
EV battery industries
40:54.3
EV mining industries
40:55.8
The future of cars
40:57.8
I have to admit it
41:06.1
I find Japanese cars
41:08.3
Reliable over time
41:09.7
But when it comes to
41:13.5
Makakalaban sa mga
41:14.6
Chinese companies
41:17.0
Let's see if the other big ones
41:22.8
Ang lakas ng China
41:23.5
And they can do it
41:24.3
At very very competitive
41:27.5
I was surprised to see
41:28.4
Even in the Middle East
41:29.4
Mayayaman na bansa
41:31.9
United Arab Emirates
41:33.1
Sobrang uso na ngayon
41:36.1
Ng mga Chinese cars
41:37.9
Galit na galit ako
41:39.2
Sa ginagawa nilang
41:39.9
Pagbubuli sa West Philippine Sea
41:41.1
But that never blinded me
41:42.4
To the many successes of China
41:44.3
And the amazing work ethic
41:45.8
And the amazing determination
41:47.2
Of the Chinese people
41:47.9
To be a world power
41:48.9
Including in high-tech technology
41:50.6
Including in EV battery
41:55.3
Bakit some are pushing
41:56.4
For reliance on China
42:04.2
Is actually more on the
42:05.1
Probably national security grounds
42:07.1
Siguro ang concern na dito
42:08.9
Kasi once bumili ka na doon
42:12.4
Kasi yung maintenance mo
42:14.1
Most likely yung other
42:15.8
Mga galing sa kanila
42:16.9
Most likely galing din yung
42:18.1
Kanilang charging station
42:19.9
So you're locked in
42:20.9
Into their technology
42:23.3
Si Ruben nagka-comment
42:25.7
Personally I'll choose the Tesla
42:27.4
Or actually I'd rather
42:28.6
You know go for Taycan
42:29.7
Or something like that
42:30.5
Kung ma-afford natin
42:32.0
But what I'm saying is that
42:33.4
The direction of the Chinese cars
42:34.6
Is really really good
42:36.5
Price competitiveness
42:46.1
It looks like a Lexus
42:47.2
And it's electric
42:48.4
And the price is pretty competitive
42:50.1
Because if I were to get
42:51.2
An ordinary Tesla
42:52.3
And then there's this SUV
42:57.3
I probably will be okay
43:00.3
From a national secret standpoint
43:03.3
I'm not sure I wanna put
43:05.8
That's why yung TikTok natin dito
43:07.1
Mahal na mahal ko kaya
43:08.7
Pero burner phone yan
43:09.9
Because I don't want to put
43:10.8
My personal data there
43:12.7
But I can see from a
43:14.9
Non-national security
43:16.3
Economic perspective
43:17.3
Yung appeal ng China
43:18.5
Yung appeal ng China
43:21.4
Personally I'm okay with Tesla
43:22.7
Although personally
43:23.2
I'm not okay with Elon Musk
43:24.8
Now going back to this
43:26.1
Ang position ni Rafi Tulfo is
43:27.9
Paano na para mas mapabilis
43:35.5
Malitong binasa ko
43:36.7
Ito ito yung sa China pala
43:39.2
Nasa prangkisa ko
43:40.8
China is already invading
43:42.1
The West Philippine Sea
43:43.0
Will we allow them to take over
43:44.6
Even if they don't have
43:46.4
That's a good quote
43:47.7
That's actually a good quote
43:51.4
I see the appeal of Chinese cars
43:53.0
Especially EV cars
43:55.0
If you take a national security standpoint
43:56.6
I think this quote from Tulfo
43:58.0
Is very very good
44:01.7
From a political standpoint
44:02.9
In terms of messaging
44:04.0
And communication
44:05.3
Ang ganda nung sinabi niya
44:09.0
You're free to disagree with me
44:09.9
Pero itong sinabi niya
44:10.5
China is already invading
44:12.3
The West Philippine Sea
44:13.2
Gusto ba natin na
44:14.5
Ba't yung mga kalsada natin
44:19.2
Yun yung sinabi na
44:20.9
It's a very strong statement
44:22.8
And Tulfo is very good
44:24.4
In coming up with these quick statements
44:26.0
Parang Tom Friedman style
44:29.0
You can say something
44:29.7
That will take probably
44:31.5
For other people to say
44:34.1
So I think this is a very strong positioning
44:35.9
I'm sure many people
44:38.2
If they make contracts
44:38.9
With big Chinese companies
44:42.8
Public utility vehicle
44:49.2
In the next five to ten years
44:50.4
As we transition more to
44:52.2
To electric vehicles
44:56.8
Yun yung dilema ngayon
44:59.1
Siguro will Japan
45:01.3
Will be the alternative
45:02.9
Tesla is very expensive
45:04.8
I don't know if we can
45:08.3
But I think Japan
45:17.0
So what is the alternative here?
45:18.7
Those are the things
45:19.1
We have to talk about
45:19.8
But I'm glad that
45:21.2
Actually at least
45:21.9
Raised this issue
45:22.6
Now let's go to the last part
45:23.9
It's all about France Castro
45:24.9
Because this is an interesting case
45:26.9
I'm not saying that
45:28.2
She'll be the next
45:28.9
Necessary president
45:33.7
Considering where she started
45:35.1
When she had even
45:40.1
Leftist candidates
45:41.0
Like Nery Colominares
45:42.3
Like Nery Colominares
45:46.3
So on and so forth
45:48.0
So on and so forth
45:48.8
She has come very far
45:51.5
Really come very far
45:52.5
And I think this is
45:53.3
This is really impressive
45:55.2
What I'm impressed with
45:57.6
Diversifying his messaging
45:59.0
And then positioning himself
46:02.1
On the West Philippines
46:03.8
That's quite interesting
46:04.6
Because of course
46:05.1
Alam natin ang paninindigong
46:06.3
Medyo kaibigan sila
46:08.5
Itong positioning na
46:09.7
Now we can have a long debate
46:11.3
About intentions and all of that
46:12.6
But I don't give a bit of doubt
46:14.9
It's also the effect that matters
46:16.0
If someone is popular
46:18.1
Who is one of the top
46:19.4
Candidates to become
46:20.7
The next president
46:21.4
Assuming they will be
46:23.1
At 2028 elections
46:23.9
That's the thing we said
46:25.1
In the previous part
46:26.5
Na baka hindi naman yari
46:27.7
2028 presidential elections
46:29.4
Baka ipaparlimentari na nila
46:30.9
I-engineer na nila yung transition
46:38.5
To become the next
46:40.2
Republic of the Philippines
46:41.7
So yung kanyang repositioning
46:45.5
Puts him in a position
46:46.3
To get the BBM vote
46:49.6
And also get some
46:50.9
Vote from the other side
46:53.0
Because of his good position
46:53.9
In the China-West Philippines
46:54.8
Issue among others
46:58.7
I think from where she started
47:00.1
She has come a very
47:06.3
There are many factors
47:08.9
There was a little
47:13.4
Interview natin si
47:17.3
And pinag-usapan natin
47:19.2
Yung kanyang background
47:19.9
Yung kanyang educational
47:21.0
Background in particular
47:22.1
And as you remember
47:23.7
She actually took
47:26.1
Parang education siya
47:30.3
But specialization is
47:32.0
So teaching mathematics
47:34.3
Kanyang expertise
47:36.4
Unlike some people
47:38.0
She didn't rely on
47:40.3
Whether clean or not so clean
47:41.7
She had to work her way through
47:43.6
Like she had to get
47:45.1
She had to work through
47:47.0
Self-educated person
47:48.3
And at the same time
47:49.1
A world-class educator
47:50.8
Automatically placed her
47:52.2
In a very good position
47:53.5
Very very good position
47:57.0
With Sara Duterte
47:58.3
Well I don't know
47:59.6
How good of a lawyer she is
48:03.1
Last time I checked
48:05.3
Neither the vice president
48:06.8
Or a lot of people
48:09.0
Debit kind of people
48:12.5
Specialization education
48:16.5
Yung problema natin
48:17.8
Sa education system
48:20.5
Ng Duterte administration
48:24.5
Yung education system natin
48:26.2
Noong panahon ng pandemic
48:28.8
I have some graphs
48:30.1
That I can show you
48:30.7
Na Philippines is
48:33.1
Even by third world standards
48:35.3
And nakita naman natin
48:37.1
Functional literacy
48:41.6
Ng mga pupils natin
48:43.0
7th grade onwards
48:44.3
I mean may problema talaga sila
48:45.5
Seriously when it comes to
48:46.6
Functional literacy
48:48.1
These are serious problems
48:49.1
So I think that first
48:50.5
That's the first thing
48:51.3
That's the first lucky thing
48:54.1
The right person to go
48:56.5
With Sarah Duterte
48:57.9
Precisely because
48:59.1
Of not only her advocacy
49:04.8
Which is really about
49:05.6
Teachers and education
49:06.7
But also about her
49:07.5
Because of her own
49:19.0
I rather listen to her
49:21.2
Some random lawyer
49:22.9
In charge of their bed
49:25.6
Kung magaling na lawyer
49:29.3
Made her authentic
49:30.9
But also authoritative
49:31.9
That was very very important
49:33.3
Ito yung isang strength
49:40.3
For the not so right moment
49:43.0
If you would put it that way
49:43.9
But the other one is also
49:46.6
Kitang-kita natin
49:47.5
Yung kanyang back and forth
49:48.5
Not only with Sara
49:49.2
But also with the father
49:53.9
One reason and suspend
49:58.0
He was accused of
50:00.4
Making incendiary comments
50:01.6
Against people like
50:08.1
Has been also very critical
50:10.1
Deterred administration
50:11.6
And also she has been
50:12.3
Going to all to the
50:13.0
Not only with the daughter
50:13.6
But also with the father
50:15.4
And then you also had that
50:18.9
Which Franz Castro
50:20.1
Has pushed against
50:22.3
Again unprecedented
50:23.1
But that could be just
50:24.1
The beginning of more
50:28.8
The former president
50:30.6
Maybe you can talk to
50:31.6
Attorney Ruben Carranza
50:33.9
Once this is available
50:37.9
And most important thing
50:39.2
Actually not necessarily
50:45.4
Second most important
50:46.5
Thing at the very least
50:50.4
She deals very well
50:51.9
With the current leadership
50:55.7
But you need that
50:57.3
In such a minority
50:58.2
And difficult position
51:03.2
I think she has become
51:05.0
Comfortable sa media
51:06.4
Nung na-interview natin siya
51:07.6
And I'm seeing it
51:09.1
As she engages the media
51:10.3
That's very important
51:12.7
Is very very important
51:13.9
Especially when you're taking
51:15.0
Positions against
51:16.3
Very powerful people
51:17.2
And you're coming from
51:19.0
Structural disadvantage
51:20.0
Being a progressive
51:20.7
In the Philippines
51:22.6
In most countries
51:23.2
Most other democracies
51:27.1
Chile, Argentina, Brazil
51:29.3
Leftist progressives
51:30.1
Can become president
51:31.4
That's not the case yet
51:33.4
And if you look at
51:34.9
Like Asia Barometer
51:36.0
Philippines is a very
51:39.0
Right wing country
51:45.2
Than South America
51:47.3
Social value system
51:48.3
Based on the evidence
51:50.7
Kasi pinag-aalalan ko
51:51.5
Bakit nanalo si Digong
51:52.6
Nag-sulat tayo ng libro
51:53.6
So I have to go through
51:54.4
Different surveys
51:55.2
World virus survey
51:59.5
Totally unsurprising
52:00.5
Na nananalo yung mga katulad
52:02.0
Or pwede manalong katulad
52:03.5
Although in France
52:06.4
Is very difficult
52:06.9
But this brings me
52:07.9
To the last point
52:08.5
Naalala niyo yung picture
52:12.8
Andun lahat yung mga
52:13.6
Opposition leaders
52:14.3
Andun din si Laila Dalima
52:16.0
Which made of course
52:17.1
This Christmas very special
52:18.2
Andun din si Lenny
52:19.5
And then andun sa gitnang-gitna
52:20.9
Nakatayo si Franz Castro
52:24.2
For a very long time
52:25.2
Hindi ganun kaganda
52:26.0
Nung relasyon ng mga
52:26.9
Liberal centrists
52:27.9
And leftist progressives
52:29.5
Especially sa Pilipinas
52:31.0
Sobrang grabe yung idwan
52:33.5
And not to mention
52:37.0
Leftists themselves
52:40.5
Was not just a picture
52:41.5
I don't think it was just a party
52:42.9
I think there was
52:43.4
Much more to that
52:44.4
And I think it shows
52:48.5
With some openness of heart
52:56.0
You know soul searching
52:56.8
It is possible to imagine
53:00.1
More and more people
53:00.9
Like Franz Castro
53:04.0
Of progressive movement
53:04.9
But also mainstream
53:08.8
She's the breakout star
53:12.4
Philippine politics
53:13.1
Not because she's the most important
53:15.0
In Philippine politics
53:17.0
Considering from where she started
53:19.9
Nang narating niya
53:21.4
Which tells you something about
53:23.5
Perhaps where the opposition
53:26.3
My position is very clear
53:28.2
It's an evidence-based position
53:30.3
It's not just a position
53:34.7
Not only the leader
53:35.5
Of the opposition
53:39.4
Of what could work
53:40.3
Of what could work
53:40.5
For the opposition
53:41.8
Because if you look at
53:43.3
She won last year
53:45.3
In a very difficult race too
53:46.9
Where no one else
53:47.7
From the opposition
53:48.2
Won any national polls
53:51.5
A complete domination
53:52.6
With Marcos Duterte
53:53.9
And if you look at it
53:55.7
She had many strengths
53:58.0
And one of her strengths
53:59.7
Electoral strategy
54:01.1
Isang sa mga strength
54:14.2
Pilipino or Ingles
54:15.4
Ang primary language
54:16.8
That helped her a lot
54:17.9
She also has a very strong
54:20.2
Grassroots movement
54:21.0
And the other thing
54:21.8
With Riza Undiveris
54:22.6
Is that she's very good
54:23.5
Also in combining
54:24.2
This kind of progressive
54:26.3
But also being very smart
54:27.4
About choosing her battles
54:28.5
And building coalitions
54:31.3
Kilala ko rin yung ibang senador
54:33.0
Na hindi necessarily progressive
54:34.3
Pero they actually have
54:35.4
Pretty decent relationship
54:36.3
With Riza Undiveris
54:37.3
Rafi Tulfo should be one of them
54:39.0
Last time I checked
54:44.2
For the opposition
54:45.2
But she cannot do it alone
54:50.1
Walk in her footsteps
54:51.1
And now we're seeing
54:52.3
With Franz Castro
54:53.2
With Riza Undiveris
54:54.2
With more and more
54:59.9
We may have more role models
55:05.3
Dapat may konting tapang
55:07.0
May konting conviction
55:08.0
But also may konting
55:11.7
Kailangan lahat ng mga yan
55:14.7
Na mananalo ng kahit isang dalawang pesto
55:18.9
Huwag tayo magano
55:20.6
It's a fight worth fighting
55:22.8
But more than that
55:23.7
It's a fight that has to be fought
55:25.6
Good luck sa Pilipinas
55:27.6
Alam ko dami sa inyo
55:30.3
Except yung mga kadidias natin dyan
55:32.0
Tuan-tuan kayo na
55:33.2
Na marginalize yung isang
55:36.2
Never Duterte dyan
55:37.8
Medyo timing ngayon
55:38.5
Mga Never Marcos eh
55:40.9
Let's be absolutely clear about this
55:42.5
Let's be absolutely clear about this
55:43.8
There's a very good chance
55:46.0
We may have a totally
55:48.4
A totally new constitutional order
55:51.0
Liberal progressive opposition
55:53.7
So they have to fight the fight
55:55.6
And they have to fight it
55:56.4
Smarter and better
55:58.5
Traditional liberalism works anymore
55:59.8
It's not what I think
56:00.4
It's the evidence
56:01.2
Three elections proves that
56:03.5
Pre-election survey for 2025
56:06.3
Are also showing that
56:07.2
So something drastic
56:08.6
Has to be done here
56:10.9
New personalities
56:13.7
Or all of the above
56:16.4
Thank you very much
56:17.2
Marami salamat sa atin
56:20.4
Diretso na sa Beijing yan
56:24.0
Maganding EV batter nyo
56:25.5
Huwag na kayo magalit sa akin
56:27.9
Thank you very much din
56:28.6
Sa ating mga YouTubers
56:29.6
Mga kaibigan natin
56:31.0
And thank you very much
56:31.7
Also sa mga kausap natin
56:36.3
Isang oras na ba tayo?
56:38.1
Thank you sa mga nakinig sa atin
56:39.5
Actually I like it
56:42.6
I did this diretso lang
56:44.1
Because I've been
56:44.6
I was writing about it
56:45.7
I mean that's the thing about
56:47.7
Because when you're a writer
56:48.7
You really have to organize your thoughts
56:50.2
You have to really
56:52.4
And you have to have
56:53.1
Key arguments and framework
56:55.5
I'm very very thankful
56:58.4
Pasensya na ako yan
