01:10.5
Top officials galing sa defense establishment ng Pilipinas, including people who used to work for Digong at the highest levels,
01:18.5
including at least two individuals who were not only in Duterte's cabinet, but two individuals who were the chiefs of the armed forces of the Philippines.
01:25.9
All of them coming out.
01:27.0
And very strongly saying no to any kind of rebellion, no to any kind of secession, no to any kind of threat sa integridad ng ating bayan,
01:38.4
sa integridad ng ating karagatan, ating teritorya, lahat ng mga yan.
01:44.1
Alright, so if you look at it mga kamets, in many ways, si President Duterte is increasingly isolated.
01:53.0
Pagtitignan mo sa Mindanao mismo, whether itong mga leaders ng Bangsamoro,
01:57.0
whether itong mga leaders from Zambonga, Del Norte, Del Sur, all the key provinces,
02:02.3
with the exception of Davao and I don't know, Governor Alvarez, Pantaleon Alvarez,
02:05.9
it looks like Digong is isolated even sa Mindanao.
02:10.0
Now, I'm not saying na hindi popular si Digong, hindi popular ang Duterte's.
02:13.4
I think the Duterte's are still seen as the sons and daughters of Mindanao.
02:17.3
And every time nasa national or international level sila ang ating mga kababayan na Bisaya at ating mga kababayan na Mindanao,
02:24.8
ating mga kababayan na Mindanao.
02:27.0
So, they 100%, almost 100% basta sa mga surveys na kita natin, stand behind the former president and his family and loved ones.
02:37.5
Yes, agree ako dyan, but that doesn't mean na kung anong sasabihin niya, sunod-sunuran ng ibang tao.
02:46.2
Or kung anong sasabihin niya, sunod-sunod lang yung mga ibang politiko.
02:49.4
No, the picture is much more nuanced.
02:51.4
And I think kung may away sa pagitan ni Duterte at saka national government,
02:57.0
Norte, sa amin, mga Ilocano, I'm sure, there'll always be tribalism.
03:01.4
In the same sense na sa amin, sa mga Ilocano, mga Tagan-North, mga Solid-North, Liquid-North, Pink-North, Non-Pink-North, lahat yan.
03:09.1
You know, we close the ranks. I know may tendency na ganito. Unfortunately, tribalistic pa rin ang Pilipinas.
03:15.1
Pero pagdating dun sa call for total separation of Mindanao, I'll be honest guys,
03:20.7
this is more like Republic of Duterte or Republic of Davao rather than Republic of Mindanao.
03:26.3
No, walang separation.
03:27.0
Porto si Digong from other key players sa Mindanao.
03:30.5
At katulad ng mga iba't-ibang mga vlogs natin dito in conversation with our co-hosts, in my own vlogs, in my own analysis,
03:39.1
pinakita ko sa inyo guys yung mga datos na pinapakita na actually tayo sa nulozon, especially in the National Capital Region,
03:46.7
ay biggest source ng revenues.
03:49.2
More than 80% of total revenues in this country comes from the National Capital Region and surrounding regions alone.
03:54.4
So that means if the NCR...
03:57.0
Surrounding regions is only about 30% of the Philippine population or even less,
04:01.4
that that means yung nangyari dito is the other regions, especially from Mindanao among others,
04:08.5
are not fully ready yet to raise enough revenues for themselves.
04:14.1
Kaya nga it's really the national government who's funding them.
04:16.4
Now, as I said, naintindihan ko yung frustration na ating mga kababayan from Mindanao, from Visayas, different regions.
04:22.2
Kami nga taga Cordilleras, taga Baguio, may sariling inis din kami sa mga taga Manila.
04:27.0
Don't worry, nagigets ko yan.
04:28.4
But as I said, what we have to understand is the reason why hindi nararamdaman ng ating mga kababayan sa Mindanao and other regions,
04:35.5
itong mga subsidies essentially from the national government, from taxpayers in NCR, etc.,
04:40.9
is because ngininakaw ito.
04:43.2
It's because nasisiphon off ito.
04:46.0
It's because nag-gobble up ito ng mga warlords, dynasties, alam nyo na kung sino yung mga yan, diba?
04:52.7
Yun ang nagiging problema.
04:53.8
So I think yun yung talagang problema.
04:57.0
Yun ang dapat ayusin natin.
04:58.6
Hindi federalism ang sagot.
04:59.8
Ang sagot dyan is empowering the people in Mindanao and Visayas directly rather than going through corrupt warlords, dynasties,
05:07.6
na sinisiphon off lang ito para sa sarili nilang pakanan.
05:12.1
Having said all of those things, as I said, magsimula na.
05:19.7
Pag-usapan natin ang oposisyon.
05:22.1
Okay, okay, okay.
05:22.9
Ito yung tunay na oposisyon.
05:24.7
Hindi yung JAPEX na oposisyon.
05:27.0
Oposisyon na naging oposisyon lang dahil hindi binigyan ng posisyon.
05:32.2
Naging oposisyon lang dahil hindi binigyan ng posisyon.
05:36.8
Yung mga pulvoronic analysis dyan.
05:40.2
Ayan, parang gusto ko i-tweet yan.
06:06.7
Yung mga kabuljakang dyan.
06:09.3
Mga kabuljakang dyan.
06:10.8
Kamusta kayo dyan?
06:11.9
Yung mga hindi counted sa akin yung mga pa-oposisyon dahil lang hindi binigyan ng posisyon.
06:16.7
Hindi counted yan.
06:17.5
Or naging oposisyon lang dahil hindi nila nakuha yung kanilang mga discretionary funds.
06:23.9
Or naging oposisyon lang dahil hindi nila nakuha yung mga...
06:27.7
Confidential funds.
06:29.3
Or naging oposisyon lang dahil galit lang dahil hindi binigyan ng malaking pork barrel.
06:33.2
Billion, billion dyan.
06:34.8
Hindi oposisyon yan.
06:36.4
Ang tunay na oposisyon po.
06:38.6
Kaya nga sabi ko, I always made a distinction between functional opposition and...
06:43.9
Or instrumental opposition I'd rather say.
06:46.2
Instrumental functional opposition and genuine opposition or ideological opposition.
06:50.6
So yung functional instrumental opposition, ito yung mga tao na dapat kasama dun sa mga powers that be.
06:57.0
Ito yung mga kasama sa UNI team, ito yung mga kasama dun sa ruling coalition, ito yung mga kasama sa winning coalition, ito yung mga kasama sa winning team nung election and then hindi binigyan ng posisyon or nawala ng posisyon, nawala na akses sa posisyon, nainis sa gobyerno, ayan tuloy naging oposisyon.
07:13.4
Hindi po tunay na oposisyon yan.
07:14.8
Ang tawag po dyan instrumental oposisyon.
07:17.0
Naging oposisyon lang dahil hindi binigyan ng posisyon.
07:19.8
Speaking of the real oposisyon, that's Lenny Robredo.
07:23.3
That's Riza Ontiveros.
07:25.0
That's Franz Castro.
07:26.8
I can go on and on.
07:28.7
That's Leila Dalima.
07:31.9
Now, I can go on and on about it.
07:33.6
Ito yung mga tao na totoong oposisyon.
07:36.1
Totooong oposisyon sila dahil if you look at kanilang track record, they have opposed both Dutertismo and at the same time, they have never been a fan necessarily of authoritarian nostalgia slash Maharlika slash bagong lipunan slash bagong Pilipinas, yung mga ganun.
07:57.2
Ayan, kinote na natin yan.
07:58.8
Naging oposisyon dahil di lang binigyan ng posisyon.
08:03.8
Hindi po tunay na oposisyon yan.
08:05.5
Instrumental oposisyon po ang tawag dyan.
08:07.5
So, the genesis of yung term na yan is from Max Weber.
08:12.5
So, instrumental logic versus...
08:15.2
So, hindi po kasama dito sa usapin natin today ang instrumental or functional oposisyon.
08:25.2
go na go for BBs.
08:26.1
Go na go for Uniteam.
08:28.2
Hindi binigyan ng oposisyon.
08:30.0
Biglang nagbubuljakan na.
08:31.8
Hindi po, hindi po ano yan.
08:33.4
Hindi po tunay na oposisyon yan.
08:34.9
Yung mga tahimik dati sa Farmali, sa mga Swiss Bank accounts, sa Cayman Islands accounts,
08:43.4
and then ngayon bigla, ayan, biglang ngayon galit sa korupsyon, para sa good governance na bigla,
08:50.5
parang biglang for democracy, ganun yan.
08:53.8
Hindi yan tunay na oposisyon.
08:55.5
Yan yung mga hindi binigyan.
08:56.1
Hindi binigyan ng oposisyon, kaya hindi natuwa.
08:58.5
Marami din tayong kilala dyan, na dapat naging malakanyang vloggers.
09:03.6
Tapos di na naging malakanyang vloggers.
09:08.5
Naging oposisyon.
09:11.0
Fake po yan mga ganyang oposisyon.
09:12.6
Parang fake news.
09:17.4
speaking of the real oposisyon,
09:20.5
Ako, dami naman galit sa akin dyan.
09:22.9
You know, okay, I'll be honest guys.
09:24.1
I'll be very honest about it.
09:26.1
I'm fundamentally disappointed
09:27.8
with so many thought leaders,
09:30.5
with so many columnists and experts
09:32.5
who should have known better,
09:34.5
pero hindi sila nagsalita.
09:37.7
gets ko na siguro may mga iba tayong mga kaibigan
09:40.2
na hindi nagsalita masyado
09:42.0
after not one, not two, but three election losses
09:45.6
dahil siguro they're thinking about friendships,
09:48.7
they're thinking about interpersonal relations,
09:51.7
they're thinking about their colleagues, their careers.
09:56.1
So, wala akong pakit dun sa mga hardcore dilawan
09:59.4
na out of this world.
10:02.5
Mag-Google trends na lang sila forever.
10:04.6
I'm talking about the people who should have known better.
10:06.7
I'm talking about the people who read the proper materials.
10:09.3
I'm talking about the people who have progressive tendencies.
10:12.7
I'm talking about the people who understood what was going on.
10:16.6
And yet, they remain quiet.
10:18.9
And they remain quiet for months after months and after months.
10:22.0
And some of them, I was told,
10:23.9
hindi lang sila duwag.
10:26.1
But they were actually bashing yours truly.
10:29.9
Para maging pogi sila dun sa mga fanatic base nila ng dilawan.
10:34.0
Those people are always gonna be a disappointment.
10:36.5
Now, that doesn't mean I'm perfect.
10:38.4
That doesn't mean I always got everything right.
10:41.0
Marami din tayong mga mali dito.
10:42.7
May mga analysis here and there.
10:44.9
But overall, you know, if you look at my body of work,
10:48.2
meaning thousands of articles, books, etc.
10:50.9
Thank God we got many things right.
10:53.2
Now, having said that,
10:56.1
So bad na actually during elections and after elections
10:59.5
for six months to one year,
11:01.6
it looks like parang ako lang, right?
11:04.9
Sababash na naman tayo.
11:06.0
Sabi nila Cloud Chaser.
11:07.4
Who came out and said,
11:08.4
please, please, please, please.
11:10.5
Itong denialism, toxicity,
11:13.8
itong mga SD card lang lahat,
11:16.7
ito yung it's just disinformation,
11:19.5
Mga ganun diskurso po.
11:21.4
As much as emotionally it gives you sucker,
11:25.9
As much as it's emotionally comfortable,
11:28.2
it's intellectually and politically self-defeating.
11:31.2
Parati ko sinisabi yan.
11:33.3
Agree naman talaga ako, mga kamets,
11:35.2
na disinformation play the role.
11:37.1
But to say it's the factor,
11:39.3
meaning more than 50% of causality,
11:43.9
May problema yung mga ganyang pag-iisip, diba?
11:49.1
Yung mga ganyang pag-iisip,
11:50.2
either masyado kang invested sa ganyang argumento
11:52.6
dahil it's good for your business,
11:53.7
or medyo sublight talaga.
11:56.6
Kailangang may level up yan.
11:59.9
So actually, it's a disinformation
12:01.4
to say that only disinformation
12:03.2
or more or less disinformation
12:05.8
explains everything.
12:06.8
No, it's not true.
12:09.1
pagtatawanan ka in any serious
12:11.2
scholarly or academic or intelligent panel.
12:15.9
As emotionally appealing that may be,
12:19.5
walang kwenta yung mga ganyang arguments
12:21.0
in a really serious context.
12:23.8
I'll just be very honest about it.
12:25.5
Yes, disinformation,
12:25.9
information was a factor
12:29.7
But it was not the factor.
12:31.0
There were many other factors
12:32.3
which I explained in great detail
12:34.6
dun sa pieces natin
12:35.5
sa Journal of Democracy,
12:37.2
sa mga libro natin,
12:38.2
sa mga articles natin,
12:39.5
sa mga book chapters natin,
12:40.9
Cambridge University Press,
12:42.4
Oxford University Press,
12:45.2
think of any major publications
12:46.8
we try to contribute there
12:49.1
yung power of disciplinary politics,
12:51.6
dissolution with democracy,
12:53.1
democracy fatigue.
12:54.1
Ang dami kong mga explanation dyan.
12:55.3
Now, so either some people are tamat,
12:58.2
or some people refuse
12:59.3
to appreciate the nuances
13:00.8
and complexity of the situation.
13:06.6
biglang nagtapang-tapangan na yung mga iba
13:09.4
and then, you know,
13:11.2
I hear ko na yung ibang vloggers
13:12.8
nagtatanong ng mga right questions,
13:14.5
biglang nagtatanong ng self-reflections.
13:18.5
I'm still not fully convinced
13:20.0
na may 100% reckoning
13:21.7
and soul-searching
13:24.1
dun sa mga tactical,
13:28.0
political shortcomings,
13:29.3
deficits ng opposition
13:30.3
in addition to, of course,
13:32.3
the structural concerns
13:33.5
and structural obstacles
13:35.2
katulad ng disinformation.
13:37.1
Lahat ng mga yan, guys,
13:41.8
and after elections.
13:43.5
I encourage you guys to check
13:44.8
my analysis of what happened
13:46.5
in 2022 elections
13:47.4
right after the election day.
13:51.0
just to be very clear about it.
13:54.4
Thank you for some of you guys
13:55.3
for pointing it out.
13:56.4
The self-righteousness,
14:01.3
all of that, guys,
14:04.7
and reprehensible
14:05.3
but it's also bad
14:07.6
It's bad for the brand of opposition.
14:09.5
And some of the fools out there
14:10.8
who try to cancel me out
14:12.3
oh, si Richard Clauchaser,
14:18.0
Yung mga katulad namin
14:20.9
getting the death threats,
14:22.4
getting the attacks,
14:23.5
getting the trolling
14:24.2
for five, six years.
14:25.3
Yung mga duwag dyan,
14:26.5
a lot of you writing
14:27.3
on their fake accounts
14:28.3
and fake anonymous accounts
14:30.1
Johnny Com ladies dyan
14:33.5
nung last elections lang.
14:42.4
So, yung mga yan,
14:46.5
Before talking to the big boys
14:48.0
and talking to people
14:49.1
who actually were
14:49.7
front and center,
14:51.0
I'm not saying...
14:51.5
And let me clear,
14:52.6
hindi ako katulad
14:53.0
na iba nasasabihin ko,
14:54.0
ako lang lumaban.
14:56.1
if you want to talk about
14:57.9
if you want to talk about
15:02.5
I can name a lot of people
15:04.7
But let's not go down
15:07.8
But I'm just saying here,
15:09.6
self-righteousness
15:13.9
there's nothing wrong
15:15.3
righteous arguments
15:18.0
ating saligang batas,
15:29.8
mga holy books nyo dyan.
15:33.0
Pero yung self-righteousness
15:42.3
That's self-defeating
15:43.9
and ethically questionable
15:44.8
and intellectually poor.
15:46.8
Intellectually poor.
15:48.8
very intellectually poor.
15:51.8
nagfifiling-filing dyan na
15:55.5
abogado lang dyan na
15:56.6
wala naman high-level
15:57.5
analysis sa politics,
15:59.6
nag-filing-filingan,
16:00.5
na dismissive sila,
16:01.7
pinipilit pa nilang
16:03.3
Sana yung mga yan,
16:07.8
doesn't make you an expert
16:08.9
on political dynamics
16:11.4
It's a totally different,
16:12.7
the two are totally
16:13.5
different issues.
16:17.1
people from Harvard Law School,
16:19.8
law schools in Australia,
16:21.3
would invite people like me,
16:23.3
but political scientists,
16:24.2
to contribute dun sa mga
16:25.0
publications nila
16:30.0
some of our lawyers
16:30.9
will be more like the lawyers
16:31.9
in Harvard Law School
16:32.9
who invite people like me,
16:34.4
reach out and learn from
16:35.5
social scientists,
16:36.7
political scientists,
16:37.5
political experts.
16:38.8
Just to be clear about it.
16:40.8
who may be interested,
16:44.1
at Cambridge University Press,
16:46.8
a number of book projects
16:48.6
which I contributed to.
16:50.1
those were in tandem
16:55.5
in Massachusetts.
16:56.6
You can also check
16:58.5
yung speech natin
16:59.3
at Harvard Law School
17:01.8
in emerging economies.
17:03.1
I analyzed populism
17:11.3
you can check this out.
17:12.1
everything I'm saying here
17:12.8
basihan sa discussions
17:14.6
all around the world.
17:16.5
Sa third world country lang
17:18.5
ng mga abogado lang
17:19.3
may alam sa politics.
17:20.5
that's fourth world.
17:21.9
Pag tatawanan ka,
17:23.3
pag nasa isang matinong lugar,
17:26.6
matinong skwela ka.
17:29.0
just be very clear.
17:31.5
you can go to YouTube.
17:35.1
Harvard Law School.
17:36.1
My lecturer will come there.
17:39.5
this was like 2018 pa lang.
17:40.9
I was already warning
17:41.6
about things happening
17:45.4
which was not recognized.
17:48.3
sa Harvard Law School.
17:49.2
You can check it out.
17:50.5
I can post the link.
17:52.3
and you can also check
17:58.0
my second talk na
17:59.9
Harvard Law School
18:00.8
in three years ago,
18:04.5
Populism and Human Rights
18:05.4
based dun sa mga libro natin
18:06.9
with friends from
18:07.5
Harvard Law School.
18:09.2
I'm just telling you guys,
18:12.5
this analysis and all,
18:14.5
natulog lang ako,
18:16.5
nagising lang ako,
18:17.3
I just woke up like this
18:18.3
with these ideas.
18:19.0
pinag-isipan natin
18:20.9
Marami tayong nabasa,
18:22.2
marami tayong nabasa,
18:22.3
marami tayong nasulat
18:23.2
to arrive at those kinds
18:25.9
I don't take it lightly
18:28.1
Johnny Com ladies,
18:31.8
Johnny Com ladies,
18:33.5
some biglang tapang-tapangan
18:35.2
na biglang nung last elections
18:36.3
come out and try to be
18:37.2
dismissive and all of that.
18:38.9
if some of you have seen me
18:41.0
shutting down some people
18:45.0
you have to realize
18:45.8
where I'm coming from.
18:49.5
self-righteous fools
18:55.3
toxicity without being called out.
18:57.0
I'm not gonna stop you
18:58.0
from expressing your opinion
18:59.5
but you're gonna be called out
19:01.1
You're gonna be called out
19:03.6
if you call people,
19:06.6
you call any people
19:09.4
you dehumanize other people,
19:10.6
I'm gonna call that out.
19:11.4
Even if you're my friend,
19:12.4
even if you are in the same camp,
19:14.3
for democratic values.
19:16.1
kung totoong kristyano ka
19:18.2
kung may paniwala ka sa Diyos,
19:23.2
self-righteousness
19:24.2
or you want fall also
19:25.8
for dehumanization
19:30.3
That's why I'm saying,
19:33.1
Nagpapatawa ako rin there
19:34.3
but we're absolutely
19:35.9
with what we're doing here.
19:37.6
We're absolutely serious people
19:38.9
with what we're doing here.
19:41.2
it doesn't matter.
19:42.7
it's not about religion,
19:43.8
it's also a question of
19:46.3
So, yung mga ibang
19:46.7
yung mga nag-mention na
19:50.6
It's about ethical,
19:52.8
It's about compassion.
19:54.1
And compassion is a
19:57.7
you can be monotheist,
19:59.7
Compassion is a universal value.
20:01.4
We can have a completely
20:02.1
different vlog and lecture
20:03.2
and discussion about it.
20:05.2
going back to this,
20:09.6
pag-usapan natin ito.
20:11.5
anong may naiwal dito?
20:16.3
Naniwala ka dito?
20:17.5
May mananiwala ba sa'yo?
20:19.0
Ilang followers mo?
20:24.3
Damaw mo ng followers.
20:25.5
Nakakaya naman sa'yo.
20:29.9
That's what I'm saying.
20:30.7
You spread toxicity here,
20:32.1
I'm gonna call you out.
20:33.5
As simple as that.
20:47.4
may isa tayong na-block before.
20:49.0
I thought ako yung
20:51.3
Yung pala yung kabilang,
20:52.4
Sabihin na lang ako,
20:53.1
yung pala parang beshi pala natin yan.
20:55.9
Sorry dun sa may iba.
20:57.8
Nangyayari talaga yan.
21:01.1
Yan ang gusto ko sa
21:03.3
May konting bardagulan
21:04.4
but with a heart.
21:06.3
Bardagulan with patriotism.
21:08.5
Balikan natin ito.
21:09.4
Balikan natin ito mga guys.
21:10.6
Kaya pala'tin ko sinasabi.
21:12.1
If you're watching,
21:13.2
you're watching this
21:14.4
para you get entertainment,
21:20.9
You're in the wrong place.
21:21.6
You're in the wrong place.
21:21.9
If you're here to just hear na
21:24.8
yung isang kampo,
21:26.1
yung isang ibang tao sa ating bayan
21:28.9
tayo lang matalino,
21:30.3
this is not the wrong place to come.
21:31.9
This is not the right place to come.
21:33.6
This is the wrong place to come to.
21:36.3
So, I'm not here to do
21:37.7
tribalistic argument.
21:39.0
I'm not here to say
21:39.9
kakampi lang tayo dito,
21:41.3
kakampi lang tayo dyan.
21:42.4
I'm not here to say,
21:43.9
you know what I'm saying?
21:44.9
I'm not here to just
21:45.9
entertain you guys,
21:47.3
Kung gusto nyo yung mga trashy stuff,
21:48.6
you go somewhere else.
21:49.7
Now, let's go back to here.
21:50.8
Let's go back to my
21:54.3
I understand there could be
21:55.7
a very strong counter-argument
21:57.3
to everything I've been saying.
21:59.1
And I understand where that
22:00.1
counter-argument is coming from.
22:01.7
Simple lang naman yung argumento eh.
22:04.6
di ka naman naging politiko,
22:05.7
di ka naman tumakbo sa elections,
22:07.1
anong alam mo dyan?
22:08.4
Okay, well, speaking of that,
22:13.0
it's like saying,
22:13.9
di ka naman football player,
22:15.1
wag ka na mag-analysis ng football.
22:18.4
it's like, okay, whatever.
22:21.6
but for a moment,
22:24.4
let's patulan natin yung ganyan argumento.
22:30.4
okay, let me just put it.
22:32.9
emic and etic view.
22:34.1
So, there's an outsider view
22:35.6
and there's an insider view.
22:37.4
actually, being outside,
22:38.9
you see things clearer
22:40.7
because meron kang
22:43.4
While people are there
22:44.3
in the thick of action,
22:45.3
minsan nabubulag sila
22:48.6
it's the midst of war
22:53.6
sometimes being an outsider
22:55.0
is actually a good thing.
22:58.3
This is not about
22:59.2
who knows things better.
23:01.6
That's the reason why,
23:03.0
meron tayong mga vlogs
23:07.5
may karanasan sila
23:09.7
and in very difficult elections,
23:12.8
And kita niyo naman,
23:13.9
yung mga ganun tao
23:15.3
mutual respect naman yun.
23:18.0
going back to this,
23:19.7
I understand the counter-argument
23:26.8
Simple lang naman eh.
23:27.8
Ang sasabihin mo,
23:31.3
kahit tama ka naman
23:32.2
na nagkamali kami dun
23:33.5
sa mga dating elections
23:36.5
mas energetic tayo
23:44.2
may Locano style.
23:51.8
sobrang hyper na ako.
23:55.6
naging hyper tayo
23:57.0
para hindi lang masayang.
24:01.6
pero wag natin sayangin.
24:04.1
Okay, ito, ito, guys.
24:06.3
I know yung counter-arguments
24:11.3
anyamit ka pa sa ito,
24:15.9
May nakikinig ba sa kanya?
24:20.8
Mag-troll ka sa akin,
24:23.1
Ganon ka simple lang yan.
24:25.4
If you're gonna troll me,
24:26.1
I'm gonna troll you back.
24:33.3
Ito, ito, ito, ito.
24:36.9
Ang damang kasing
24:38.2
sa mga sabay lahat eh.
24:39.4
Hindi, ito, guys.
24:42.2
The counter-argument to me
24:45.9
what's past is past
24:48.9
the best strategy
24:51.2
to wait out things.
24:54.4
The best strategy
24:56.1
have tactical retreat.
24:58.2
Not strategic retreat,
24:59.3
but tactical retreat.
25:02.3
strategy is about what?
25:06.3
to that end goal.
25:10.0
nang maging counter-argument
25:11.1
sa akin would be,
25:15.0
kailangan naging ganyan
25:16.3
yung away ng Duterte
25:19.6
is threatened by opposition
25:20.8
kaya sila-sila na lang
25:22.8
Well, guess what?
25:23.5
Actually, I'm the person
25:27.2
yun yung naging paradox
25:30.1
of Philippine politics
25:32.8
of the progressive opposition
25:35.1
and liberal opposition
25:36.1
actually encouraged
25:43.4
to be a little bit
25:45.5
semi-quasi-liberal reform.
25:47.6
At yun ang diniskas natin
25:48.9
sa journal of democracy
25:50.5
that you can check online.
25:53.2
I also raised that
25:55.6
with Ronald Llamas.
25:58.6
But let me come up
25:59.4
with my counter-arguments
26:00.5
to that counter-argument
26:03.1
you have to be able
26:03.8
to think about an issue
26:05.0
from multiple angles.
26:07.0
My counter-argument
26:07.9
to that counter-argument
26:08.9
to my initial argument
26:09.9
would be that first,
26:15.4
madali sabihin yan ngayon
26:16.8
na naging ganyang
26:18.0
kagrabe yung ganyan.
26:20.8
Which, by the way,
26:23.5
was not totally inevitable.
26:25.7
As I said over and over again,
26:28.2
BBM is conflict avoidant.
26:30.2
And if it were up to BBM
26:31.3
and Sarah Duterte,
26:32.4
they want to keep things
26:34.4
And then by 2028,
26:35.6
mag-takeover na si Sarah.
26:37.2
And then Sarah will make sure
26:39.6
safe ang Marcoses,
26:40.5
and smooth transition.
26:43.6
didn't anticipate is
26:46.3
in terms of challenging
26:51.1
the power position
27:01.3
between the Duterte camp
27:02.6
and some of the key allies
27:04.2
including the Speaker
27:06.0
None of those things
27:08.8
None of those things
27:10.1
were necessarily foreseeable.
27:12.8
So kung sasabihin mo na,
27:14.2
tama naman kami ngayon,
27:15.1
that's easy to say right now
27:16.2
after all of these
27:17.3
contingent factors happen.
27:32.4
dun sa nangyari dun.
27:35.7
that would be one of my
27:36.7
counter-arguments.
27:37.5
The second counter-argument
27:40.9
dun sa interview natin,
27:42.4
huling interview natin
27:43.2
sa CNN Philippines.
27:44.4
I am very emotional about this.
27:46.6
because I work in a TV channel
27:49.8
ilalap-alap interview
27:50.9
sa CNN Philippines.
27:52.1
thankfully naman,
27:52.6
supportive naman yung ano natin.
27:54.5
I did steal that interview
27:55.8
I really, really like
27:57.8
Pia Intovero's show.
28:02.5
kasama po natin dyan
28:04.0
isa sa mga top experts
28:10.6
I have a lot of respect for him
28:11.8
because in fairness,
28:13.8
I have to point it out.
28:14.8
Edwin Lacerda was one of the people
28:25.5
pinapoint out niya
28:26.4
yung mga shortcomings
28:27.8
If you don't believe me,
28:29.2
on CNN Philippines.
28:34.7
I think I posted that.
28:35.9
Kaya nga natuwa ako na
28:36.7
at least some of these interviews,
28:39.3
I got snippets of it.
28:44.4
and CNN Philippines.
28:47.1
lalabas din yung mga interviews ko
28:48.3
with CNN International.
28:50.5
Including with Christian Amonpour,
28:52.8
kindly check those things.
28:55.0
my counter-argument to that
28:58.1
kung titignan mo yan,
29:02.1
nag-aaway yung dalawang kampong ngayon.
29:04.8
Ang tanong ngayon,
29:06.0
nasaan ang opposition?
29:08.2
It's still a strong argument.
29:11.2
nagkaroon ng rallies
29:12.2
and counter-rallies
29:13.1
yung dalawang panig.
29:14.5
Pag tinignan mo naman
29:15.2
yung mga opposition leaders,
29:17.0
nag-food vlogging na lang,
29:19.9
with Miss Universe,
29:22.1
I have no problem with that.
29:23.1
But what I'm saying is,
29:25.2
you have to make sure
29:27.3
leaving a signature,
29:28.9
a mental signature,
29:30.2
in the mind of the voters
29:32.3
ahead of next year's elections
29:35.2
Kasi nga sabi ko,
29:36.6
na ang tunay na opposition,
29:38.4
may mga position sila,
29:40.8
sa elected offices,
29:41.8
top elected offices,
29:42.9
local elected offices,
29:45.2
so that they'll be
29:46.6
to act as a third force
29:50.8
Because as things stand,
29:52.4
2028 is still a race
29:53.8
between Sarah Duterte
29:58.1
some of you may be okay
29:60.0
some of you may not be okay
30:02.0
Some of you may love
30:03.5
some of you may hate
30:05.4
But the reality is that
30:06.9
you want more options
30:07.8
beyond those two.
30:10.2
paano magkakaroon ng third option
30:11.8
na credible third option,
30:14.2
meaning may good chance
30:14.9
of winning my 10,
30:19.7
wala yung legwork
30:20.6
as early as right now.
30:23.0
katulad nung sinabi ko
30:24.0
dun sa interview natin
30:24.8
sa CNN Philippines,
30:26.3
the big threat right now
30:30.8
maging irrelevant sila
30:32.1
and everyone is just
30:33.2
waiting for what is
30:34.3
the latest na sasabihin
30:36.2
latest na sasabihin
30:37.8
latest na sasabihin
30:39.1
latest na sasabihin
30:39.7
ni Martin Romaldes,
30:40.8
latest na sasabihin
30:42.1
latest na sasabihin
30:44.6
Parang sila na lang eh.
30:47.1
I'm just looking at my videos,
30:49.8
na pinost ko political,
30:52.5
it's all just them.
30:55.8
not because I wanna post about it,
30:57.3
it's because that's really
30:58.1
the only thing that people
30:58.9
are paying attention to.
31:03.0
yung isang video natin,
31:04.6
4 million views na ngayon
31:05.6
sa Instagram almost.
31:08.1
yung 2 minutes highlight
31:13.6
4 million views na yan.
31:17.9
parang sila-sila na lang.
31:20.6
kinari nila yung buong airtime.
31:22.5
Sila-sila na lang.
31:24.2
meron pa yung drama
31:25.8
tapos yung kapatid niyang senador
31:27.0
na Marcos Tintas,
31:28.8
puro sila na lang.
31:30.9
Puro na lang may din,
31:32.2
puro may din marites
31:33.2
na lang yung politika natin.
31:34.4
Puro na lang marites,
31:36.0
et cetera, et cetera.
31:37.7
So, having said that,
31:41.2
At yun yung sinulat natin
31:42.5
sa Inquirer article natin today.
31:45.8
I'm not dismissing
31:47.0
very good efforts,
31:48.9
whether by Lenny Robredo,
31:50.6
whether by key leaders
31:52.0
of the opposition,
31:53.0
whether by Riza Ontiveres,
31:54.7
Leila Delima, et cetera,
31:55.8
to bring different groups together.
31:57.1
I know there are efforts there
31:58.1
because, as you know,
31:60.0
dun sa isang vlog natin
32:00.9
with Ronald Llamas,
32:02.2
pinag-usapan natin
32:03.1
ito yung mga ongoing efforts,
32:04.5
yung tinatawag natin
32:05.3
na war of positioning.
32:07.4
That's fantastic.
32:11.5
some things are happening,
32:12.6
but it has to be more visible,
32:13.9
it has to be more in your face.
32:15.2
So, for instance,
32:16.5
bakit nagkaroon ng rally
32:17.4
ng Gising Pilipina,
32:20.6
naging ano tuloy,
32:22.0
naging morning show,
32:23.2
Gising Pilipinas.
32:25.3
Bagong Pilipinas,
32:28.8
Yan, yung mga ano,
32:31.7
Diba, yung mga ganon.
32:34.2
Bagong Pilipinas,
32:40.4
tapos yung kay Tatay Digong,
32:41.6
magsispeech siya na naman gano'n.
32:44.7
hindi na kailangan ng performance.
32:46.3
Hindi nila kailangan ng Andrew E.
32:47.9
Si Tatay Digong mismo,
32:50.7
entertainment na siya, diba?
32:52.0
Kung ganyan ka magsalita.
32:54.9
Yan ang entertainment nila doon.
32:58.4
naggalit-galit si Digong.
33:07.5
So, hindi ko na kailangan ng entertainment.
33:09.5
Andiyan na si Digong.
33:10.3
Siya na yung entertainment,
33:11.4
siya na yung entertainment mo.
33:12.6
Kalaan mo yung nagsasabihin niya,
33:13.9
nag-drug addict yung ano mo,
33:16.6
wala ka ng mass entertainment dyan.
33:22.6
Wala ano, wala ano.
33:24.6
Baka mabuking yung mga talents natin.
33:27.6
itago naman natin.
33:28.6
Baka mawala na yung respeto niyan.
33:30.6
Baka mawala na yung respeto niyan.
33:31.6
Dami akong sinabi sa mga
33:32.6
serious publication natin.
33:33.6
Pa Harvard Law School,
33:34.6
pa Sydney, ganyan-ganyan.
33:39.6
Basta ang sinasabi ko,
33:42.6
kung si Andrew yung may ganyan moves,
33:45.6
lalong-lalong na yung mga
33:46.6
zaddy na katulad natin.
33:48.6
May laban talaga tayo dyan, guys.
33:53.6
Hiwalay na sila, no?
33:54.6
Bea at saka si ano?
34:00.6
Biglang lumabas lang sa feeds ko na
34:02.6
hiwalay na po, ganyan-ganyan.
34:03.6
Kasi nakita ko yung picture.
34:04.6
Ay, ang cute naman nung aso.
34:05.6
Parang Picasso, ganyan.
34:08.6
Si ganyan-ganyan.
34:09.6
Ayon kay Tito Boy.
34:12.6
Hindi Tito Boy Soto, ha.
34:13.6
Ito si Tito Boy Abunda.
34:16.6
the reason na sinasabi ko, kasi
34:18.6
may pinost ako yung picture na
34:22.6
Nakibigyan natin si
34:25.6
Nung nag-beat kami nung December.
34:27.6
And then, biglang,
34:28.6
I have no idea what happened.
34:30.6
Biglang natag si Bea Alonso.
34:34.6
Sabi ko, baka magkaka-issue mamaya
34:36.6
sabihin nila ano nangyayari.
34:43.6
change topic na tayo ba?
34:45.6
Magmamaritesan na naman tayo.
34:48.6
Sabi nga ni Bato.
34:50.6
Don't maritesing.
34:52.6
Ayan, maritesing.
34:53.6
Hindi, hindi, hindi.
34:54.6
Ito going back to the opposition.
34:58.6
I'm gonna finally give you my argument.
35:00.6
Talo ko pa si Buljak TV, ha.
35:03.6
after one hour lang
35:04.6
nasasabihin yung gusto niyang sabihin.
35:06.6
Ang dami niyang mga hanash.
35:09.6
malapit ko na matala si Buljak.
35:15.6
kailangan mag-flex
35:16.6
ng opposition ng konti.
35:19.6
some presence there,
35:20.6
some speeches there,
35:21.6
some big events there.
35:23.6
Not in a threatening way,
35:24.6
but in a civil society
35:26.6
legit exercise of democracy
35:28.6
and pluralistic mobilization way.
35:32.6
to be specific about this,
35:35.6
there are three things
35:36.6
that the opposition should do.
35:38.6
There are three things
35:39.6
that the opposition should stand for.
35:46.6
Nandistract ako sa mga comments dito.
35:48.6
Mamaya na tayo mag-maritess.
35:51.6
Interview natin si OG.
35:54.6
Nung namit ko si OG Diaz,
36:03.6
yung showbiz career natin,
36:06.6
sumasablay mga ano natin.
36:07.6
Balikan natin ito ha,
36:12.6
there are three things
36:13.6
that the opposition should do.
36:14.6
I'll be absolutely clear about this.
36:17.6
there are three things
36:18.6
that the opposition should do.
36:20.6
there has to be a clear no
36:22.6
to any kind of charter change
36:24.6
under suspicious circumstances.
36:26.6
Any charter change
36:28.6
that could undermine
36:29.6
yung ating saligang batas
36:31.6
or ating mga democratic institutions.
36:34.6
dapat clear tayo diyan.
36:36.6
you cannot fix a problem
36:37.6
if the fixer is the problem.
36:41.6
there should be also no
36:42.6
to any incitement to rebellion
36:47.6
of the Philippine Republic,
36:51.6
everything that our forefathers
36:55.6
our ancestors fought for
36:56.6
with blood and sweat
36:57.6
and all sorts of sacrifice.
36:59.6
But at the same time,
37:00.6
dapat mag-yes ang opposition,
37:02.6
very clear ang yes ang opposition
37:03.6
for ICC investigations
37:06.6
ICC warrants of arrest
37:08.6
who indeed engage
37:10.6
in massive violations of human rights
37:14.6
let me be absolutely clear about this,
37:15.6
yes also for accountability
37:17.6
for corruption and human rights violations
37:19.6
not only five years ago,
37:21.6
not only ten years ago,
37:22.6
but also what happened in the past
37:23.6
at hindi nagkaroon ng accountability.
37:25.6
Dapat i-carve out ang opposition neto.
37:28.6
They have to be very clear.
37:31.6
nakikita natin ngayon, di ba?
37:32.6
One side is for cha-cha,
37:34.6
one side is for Maharlika Fund,
37:38.6
and then the other side is against cha-cha.
37:42.6
what the opposition should do
37:43.6
is to be neither-nor.
37:45.6
Neither this side,
37:47.6
But go for a third option.
37:49.6
A good option when there's accountability,
37:51.6
when we fight corruption
37:52.6
and there's good governance,
37:55.6
no mumbo-jumbo constitutional changes
37:57.6
which could undermine
37:58.6
our democratic institutions.
37:59.6
Yun dapat ang positioning ng opposition.
38:03.6
At yung mga opposition,
38:04.6
naging opposition lang
38:05.6
dahil hindi binigyan ng opposition,
38:07.6
naging opposition lang
38:08.6
dahil hindi binigyan ng opposition,
38:09.6
hindi tunay na opposition mga yan.
38:11.6
Opportunista lang mga yan.
38:12.6
So, very careful dapat ang tunay na opposition
38:15.6
when these people are reaching out to them.
38:17.6
So, hindi dapat magpagamit
38:19.6
ang tunay na opposition sa mga alam na this.
38:24.6
Ganyang kasimple lang yung point ko.
38:26.6
Alright? So, all of this conversation
38:28.6
we had for one hour
38:29.6
was to set up this fundamental point.
38:33.6
Thank you very much again
38:34.6
sa mga nagmamahal sa atin,
38:36.6
nagagalit sa atin,
38:37.6
nagtutrol sa atin,
38:38.6
nagkakomment sa atin.
38:39.6
I hope you appreciate all of these things
38:41.6
dahil alam nyo naman,
38:42.6
mahal na mahal ko kayo.
38:44.6
So, I hope tuloy-tuloy
38:45.6
itong discussion natin.
38:47.6
Uy, ba't nawala na yung nagtutrol sa akin,
38:51.6
Nasaan ka na, Jerry Boy?
38:53.6
Sorry naman sa followers mo.
38:55.6
May nakikinig ba sa'yo?
38:57.6
I'm just saying, you troll me,
38:59.6
I'm gonna troll you back big time.
39:05.6
No one is forcing you to be on my platforms.
39:06.6
Hindi ko kayo pinipilit.
39:07.6
So, kung nandito kayo,
39:08.6
act like an adult.
39:09.6
If you act like a kid,
39:10.6
I'm gonna call you out.
39:11.6
O, kung napahiya kayo,
39:12.6
kaya salahanin mo yan.
39:15.6
Ganyang kasimple lang.
39:17.6
Thank you very much.
39:19.6
Thank you very much.
39:20.6
Unfortunately, hindi natuloy kanina
39:21.6
yung interview natin dun sa ating Latin American,
39:23.6
my fellow Latino.
39:24.6
We want to talk about pink wave
39:26.6
in Latin America.
39:27.6
We want to talk about boric in Chile,
39:31.6
We want to talk about politics
39:34.6
all the way to Ecuador
39:36.6
and different countries.
39:37.6
But unfortunately, hindi na karoon
39:39.6
dahil nga dito sa traffic.
39:43.6
traffic ako ng traffic.
39:46.6
Mukhang mas grabe pa yung traffic natin
39:47.6
kaysa sa Latin America.
39:48.6
So, hindi nangyari.
39:50.6
we try to catch up on that.
39:51.6
And then, hopefully soon,
39:52.6
also catch up tayo with
39:54.6
ang crush ng bayan,
39:57.6
otherwise known as
40:01.6
Pag-usapan din natin mga yan
40:02.6
and talk to you soon.
40:05.6
and please huwag kayong magalit
40:06.6
kung medyo nagkanchawan lang tayo
40:07.6
at nagbiro-biro lang tayo.
40:09.6
It's just part of the game.
40:10.6
We want to keep it interesting.
40:11.6
We want to keep it real.
40:12.6
But we want to keep it
40:14.6
in terms of analysis
40:15.6
and also in terms of moral convictions.
40:18.6
thank you very much.
40:20.6
And talk to you soon.
40:21.6
And please subscribe
40:22.6
sa ating mga channels.
40:24.6
Let me do my vlogger side.
40:25.6
Subscribe to my channel.
40:27.6
Pag nasa YouTube tayo,

40:40.6

40:41.6
I appreciate that.
40:42.6
Libre lang po yan.
40:43.6
Libre magbigay ng 5 stars.
40:44.6
Libre lang magbigay ng nice comments.
40:46.6
Libre lang po yan.
40:47.6
Ma-appreciate natin yan
40:48.6
because once we reach
40:49.6
a certain threshold,
40:53.6
madi-display na ito
40:55.6
and it will make it easier
40:58.6
para ma-recommend
40:59.6
yung ating mga podcast
41:03.6
sa podcasts natin.
41:07.6
mag-organize ng podcast.
41:09.6
sariling sikap ito
41:10.6
but that's precisely
41:11.6
why it's difficult.
41:12.6
Wala akong secretary
41:13.6
to reach out to people
41:14.6
and interview them
41:17.6
hindi na ako mag-sell
41:18.6
tapos magpahamak tayo.
41:20.6
you know what I'm saying?
41:22.6
In exchange for everything
41:23.6
we're doing here,
41:27.6
Please just leave
41:29.6
and good comments
41:30.6
and notifications
41:35.6
in the Philippines
41:38.6
in different countries
41:39.6
around the world.
41:41.6
not in all categories.
41:43.6
in all categories
41:44.6
nag top 100 tayo.
41:45.6
In other countries
41:48.6
and news categories.
41:52.6
United Arab Emirates,
41:55.6
sa inyong suporta.
41:58.6
more and more people
41:59.6
will watch this page
42:01.6
we encourage people
42:02.6
to think critically
42:03.6
and think for themselves.
42:06.6
to enjoy a little bit
42:07.6
yung bardagulan natin.
42:08.6
And we want to make this cool.
42:10.6
proper political analysis
42:21.6
What I could have put into
42:22.6
some other work na
42:23.6
for your livelihood
42:24.6
nilalagay natin dito.
42:27.6
Libre lang po yan.
42:30.6
please give the high star
42:31.6
if you really think
42:32.6
that we deserve it
42:33.6
and then also comment
42:34.6
both sa Apple Podcasts,
42:35.6
Richard Heydarian
42:36.6
and also sa Spotify.
42:39.6
Kasi maganda yan.
42:44.6
Kasi sa algorithm yan,
42:46.6
pag marami kang magandang
42:48.6
i-re-recommend ka
42:52.6
na hindi pa followers mo
42:53.6
or may have never even
42:55.6
or may have heard about you
42:56.6
but they don't know
42:57.6
you have a podcast.
42:59.6
that's on your side
43:00.6
but if each of you
43:01.6
just make a few nice clicks
43:03.6
malaking bagay yan
43:04.6
dito sa project natin,
43:05.6
dito sa ginagawa natin.
43:07.6
Thank you so much.
43:09.6
really appreciate it.
43:13.6
nagsisimula pa lang tayo dito.
43:14.6
May mga pinapost-post tayo
43:16.6
but we wanna do it
43:18.6
and more continuously.
43:21.6
baka masensor na naman ako.
43:22.6
May limitasyon ng TikTok
43:24.6
China-related issues
43:25.6
pero on the other issues naman,
43:27.6
we wanna reach out to people.
43:30.6
Richard Heydaren 007
43:31.6
and Richard Heydaren Vlogs
43:34.6
there's a logic why
43:35.6
it's Richard Heydaren Vlogs
43:36.6
not political vlogs.
43:39.6
or opinion vlogs.
43:43.6
it's everything there.
43:47.6
a number of lectures
43:48.6
that have nothing to do
43:50.6
They're about culture,
43:52.6
and then may mga post tayo,
43:53.6
mga pakiyot na nandun na
43:54.6
nag-commute-commute,
43:59.6
our multifarious,
44:00.6
the multifarious texture
44:01.6
of our existence.
44:03.6
mayroon siyang mag-Jordan Peterson
44:08.6
you get what I'm saying.
44:12.6
and just follow us also
44:13.6
on Richard Heydaren Vlogs.
44:15.6
the other thing naman,
44:17.6
the other thing naman
44:20.6
meron tayong threshold.
44:22.6
Ang threshold naman
44:24.6
is you have to have
44:25.6
100,000 followers
44:26.6
before ma-verify ka.
44:38.6
on many platforms,
44:44.6
we're hoping that
44:45.6
we'll also be verified
44:48.6
because of the nature
44:50.6
it's important that you get
44:51.6
that verification
44:52.6
because if you have
44:53.6
that verification,
44:54.6
then alam ng tao,
44:56.6
at hindi yung poser
45:01.6
sa YouTube kasi meron siya
45:04.6
100,000 followers
45:05.6
before they give you
45:06.6
that verification process.
45:07.6
Yun ang nakita ko
45:08.6
because I was applying
45:10.6
or I asked my TV networks
45:13.6
ang minimum na hiningin nila.
45:16.6
It's just one click lang
45:17.6
and you'll help us
45:18.6
to get that verification
45:23.6
they'll also give you
45:24.6
some sort of click
45:26.6
we can put behind us
45:28.6
for what you're doing.
45:30.6
walang ganyan eh.
45:31.6
Hundreds of thousands
45:33.6
it doesn't make a difference.
45:34.6
You can still get verification
45:37.6
So, I appreciate that.
45:38.6
I think on TikTok,
45:40.6
Kailangan ng 100,000 followers
45:42.6
Hindi, hindi monetization,
45:48.6
ang kailangan mo sa YouTube.
45:49.6
So, you can monetize it.
45:52.6
Pero yung sa verification,
45:53.6
you need 100,000.
45:55.6
Yun ang nakita ko.
45:59.6
what you guys are doing.
46:00.6
It's just a few clicks,
46:02.6
and subscription.
46:04.6
That's all you need to do.
46:06.6
That's all you need to do.
46:07.6
Walang bayad yan.
46:09.6
Yung mga Ilocana,
46:10.6
alam niya where I come from.
46:12.6
I want the bayad.
46:18.6
Talk to you soon.
46:20.6
and maraming salamat
46:21.6
sa supportan niyo.
