10:32.1
Okay.
10:32.8
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.
10:34.5
Ito talaga tayo mga kamets, no?
10:36.5
Kaya pala,
10:37.3
yun yung pinosh ni kuya.
10:39.1
Now, as always,
10:41.4
guys,
10:42.8
bagot natin pag-usapan ng Senate slate,
10:44.8
pag-usapan natin, guys,
10:46.7
itong nag-number one,
10:49.2
nag-numero uno
10:50.6
dito sa ating Senado
10:53.1
dun sa Senate-raised last
10:55.5
2022 elections.
10:58.1
Kasi, guys, alam nyo naman,
10:59.5
pagdating sa ranking sa Senate,
11:01.9
ito ay,
11:02.7
basean na ito talagang merit,
11:04.8
kagalingan,
11:06.2
ang mastery of
11:08.4
matters of constitution,
11:11.4
matters of national interest,
11:14.2
talagang ganito po ang basean ngayon nowadays,
11:16.7
especially since nag-number one si
11:18.6
isa pang artista nung 2010 Senate elections.
11:22.7
Ganito po kataas yung level ng,
11:24.6
of course, yung basean natin
11:26.0
pagdating sa election of our Senate.
11:29.5
So, nag-respond yung nag-number one
11:33.4
sa Senate-raised
11:35.2
nung 2022,
11:37.7
adding to a
11:38.9
expanding list ng mga artista
11:41.3
at mga actors
11:43.5
na napakagaling
11:45.3
once they get into the highest
11:47.7
chambers of the nation.
11:50.1
Alright, okay, okay.
11:51.3
May nag-comment na life-selling ba ito?
11:53.8
Nang ano? Nang gluta?
11:56.1
Okay, okay, okay.
11:57.3
Ito, ito, ito, guys.
11:57.9
Okay, so,
11:58.1
may nag-comment na life-selling ba ito?
11:59.0
Okay, okay, okay.
11:59.0
Okay, okay, okay.
11:59.3
Okay, okay, okay.
11:59.3
Okay, okay, okay.
11:59.5
May nag-respond.
12:00.3
May, um,
12:01.8
may, ano,
12:04.0
sabi ni,
12:04.9
sabi ni sir,
12:06.7
medyo pinagtatawanan yung mga nagre-react dyan.
12:09.9
Sabi niya,
12:10.7
huwag nilang pakialaman
12:11.6
kung anong ginagawa natin dyan.
12:12.8
Ito yung sinabi niya,
12:14.2
nakakatuwa naman
12:15.5
na po
12:16.2
ang political issue na yan.
12:19.4
My goodness,
12:20.5
kung may nakita po silang masama
12:22.6
sa larawan na yan,
12:24.9
paumanhin po.
12:26.3
No intention of disrespect.
12:28.2
Ah, yung kanyang asawa po daw,
12:30.2
loves to promote
12:32.2
good looks
12:34.2
and good health.
12:36.2
Natatawa talaga.
12:38.2
Hahaha.
12:40.2
Hahaha.
12:42.2
Haha.
12:44.2
Pero yun nga po yung, yun nga po yung concern po.
12:48.2
Wala naman tayong problema sa good looks.
12:50.2
Kung, ah,
12:52.2
gwapo naman tayo, maganda naman tayo,
12:54.2
okay naman po, walang problema.
12:56.2
Sige lang, i-livestream niyo yung pagkaganda at pagkagwapo.
12:58.2
Ang question
13:00.2
kasi dito, at ito yung
13:02.2
intervention ng mga medical experts
13:04.2
among others. So hindi lang si Nancy Bina.
13:06.2
I think Nancy Bina is also part of the ethics committee, no?
13:08.2
Or siya ba yung head ng ethics committee?
13:10.2
But anyway, hindi lang po si Nancy Bina
13:12.2
yung nag-comment dito. You also have
13:14.2
public health officials, including those
13:16.2
who have worked with the Department of Health,
13:18.2
those who have advised
13:20.2
the government during the pandemic,
13:22.2
those who know a thing or two about actually
13:24.2
medical sciences, no?
13:26.2
Yung mga hindi
13:28.2
hindi mailik sa mga polvoronic
13:30.2
na ideas.
13:32.2
Ito si Dr. Tony Lechon.
13:34.2
Sabi niya, hindi niya
13:36.2
naiintindihan itong mga
13:38.2
issues
13:40.2
referring to the good senator
13:42.2
and the issues and the far-reaching
13:44.2
implications of yung mga social media
13:46.2
posts kung saan, ayan,
13:48.2
nag-flex ang mga tao, nag-gluta
13:50.2
drip or whatever.
13:52.2
Sabi ni Tony, ah,
13:54.2
Dr. Lechon.
13:56.2
Dr. Lechon.
13:58.2
No disrespect too, but we can call out
14:00.2
this post as a threat to health
14:02.2
and a low regard for the Senate office
14:04.2
for such marketing promotion.
14:06.2
Ah!
14:08.2
So, okay.
14:10.2
So, marketing daw yun.
14:12.2
May...
14:14.2
Ay, Diyos ko.
14:16.2
Ang Pilipinas talaga.
14:24.2
Mahirap talaga mahalin ng Pilipinas, guys.
14:26.2
Mahalam-mahal lahat ng Pilipinas,
14:28.2
pero minsan pinapahirapan tayo.
14:30.2
Yan ang feeling ko, eh.
14:32.2
If there's a national emotion that describes
14:34.2
the feeling of any Filipino
14:36.2
who cares about our country, it's hugot.
14:38.2
Ang daming hugot. Mahugot talagang
14:40.2
pagmamahal sa Pilipinas.
14:42.2
Ano mo, ito na lahat na,
14:44.2
lahat ng ginagawa mo, lahat ng...
14:46.2
Lahat na lang.
14:48.2
Pero,
14:50.2
actually, guys, in fairness naman,
14:52.2
yun naman, me. I always put things
14:54.2
into historical perspective. Actually,
14:56.2
kaapon nga, nandun ako sa
14:58.2
Smithsonian Museum.
15:00.2
And...
15:02.2
Ang daming beses na pumunta ako dito
15:04.2
sa DC
15:06.2
throughout the years. Pero ngayon lang ako nagbigay
15:08.2
ng panahon talaga na bumisita,
15:10.2
guys, dito sa...
15:12.2
Bumisita dito
15:14.2
sa Smithsonian, yung mga nature.
15:16.2
So, pumunta. Chinay ko talaga yung panahon
15:18.2
ng dinosaurs,
15:20.2
panahon ng mga unang tao,
15:22.2
panahon ng mga...
15:24.2
Panahon ng mga homo sapiens,
15:26.2
mga unang homo sapiens. At some point, there were like
15:28.2
four or five of us na
15:30.2
different species coexisting. And then
15:32.2
we had this fantastic conversation
15:34.2
with some folks
15:36.2
dyan sa Smithsonian
15:38.2
Museum. Ang daming.
15:40.2
Para lang magkakaroon tayo ng
15:42.2
big picture understanding.
15:44.2
But at the same time,
15:46.2
when thinking about big picture understanding,
15:48.2
tinignan ko rin dito ang politika dito sa
15:50.2
Washington, DC. My goodness, ang daming
15:52.2
nalaman din nila mga antics na tao
15:54.2
dito sa politika nila.
15:56.2
I mean, ano yun?
15:58.2
Pangalan nyo si Marjorie Greene ba yan?
16:00.2
Ano pa? Ay, yung mga
16:02.2
QAnon people
16:04.2
na nandito sa
16:06.2
kongreso, nandyan lang. So,
16:08.2
in a way, I mean,
16:10.2
you know, as much as
16:12.2
minsan nadidisappoint ka sa Pilipinas and all of that,
16:14.2
pag iniisip mo rin yan,
16:16.2
anong katahanang sinasabi ng itong mga to?
16:18.2
Pluck natin.
16:20.2
Ayan.
16:22.2
O, huwag kayong magtroll
16:24.2
sakin. Ibablock ko kayo kaagad.
16:26.2
Umayos dahil kayo. Ayan.
16:28.2
Go Trump na ulit yung iba dyan.
16:30.2
Hindi, hindi. I was thinking
16:32.2
ganito. Let's not forget
16:34.2
ang sistema ng demokrasya
16:36.2
na meron tayo sa Pilipinas, ang sistema ng
16:38.2
gobyerno na meron tayo sa Pilipinas, lahat yan
16:40.2
guys, ay base sa
16:42.2
Amerika. Hindi sa Espanya,
16:44.2
hindi sa Inglaterra, hindi sa
16:46.2
Pransya. Base ito
16:48.2
sa sistema dito sa Amerika.
16:50.2
I was wondering kung ang
16:52.2
Amerika nga ngayon ay
16:54.2
ganitong situation. May mga QAnon
16:56.2
people ay
16:58.2
nasa Kongreso. Andyan lang. Andyan lang.
17:00.2
Over the horizon lang.
17:02.2
Kung itong
17:04.2
bansa ay most likely
17:06.2
magiging, ano, ang magiging
17:08.2
race dito ay back to
17:10.2
back to the future na 2022
17:12.2
na malaking chance, increasingly
17:14.2
at least 50% chance
17:16.2
na manakalo si Trump bilang
17:18.2
ex-president, mapapaisip ka talaga
17:20.2
na baka naman yung nangyari sa
17:22.2
Pilipinas ay hindi ganun ka nakakapagtataka
17:24.2
dahil kung yung
17:26.2
bansa mismo na nagbigay
17:28.2
sa atin ng mga
17:30.2
sistema ng demokrasya natin
17:32.2
among others, kung yung bansa na yan
17:34.2
ay ganitong situation nila, kahit
17:36.2
isa sila sa pinakamayayaman na bansa.
17:38.2
So, a per capita income of an American
17:40.2
is around 60 plus
17:42.2
thousand dollars
17:44.2
a year compared to just
17:46.2
over 4,000 dollars in the Philippines.
17:48.2
So, more than 10 times
17:50.2
na mas mayaman ang isang average
17:52.2
American compared sa isang average na Filipino.
17:54.2
At ang Amerika po ay
17:56.2
more than 200 years of experience
17:58.2
of democracy, although of course
18:00.2
many would argue that
18:02.2
siguro until 1960s
18:04.2
questionable yung claim to democracy
18:06.2
because of yung situation ng mga
18:08.2
African American folks
18:10.2
in the deep south here sa United States.
18:12.2
But, given
18:14.2
all of that, iniisip ko nga kung Amerika nga
18:16.2
na ganyang kayaman na bansa,
18:18.2
na pinakamalakas na bansa sa mundo, I mean,
18:20.2
you look at the military power in this country,
18:22.2
it's incredible. Kung tinignan mo yung
18:24.2
kanilang technological power,
18:26.2
venture capital, napakalakas na bansa.
18:28.2
Kung itong bansa na ito, na pinakamalakas
18:30.2
na bansa sa buong kasaysayan ng mundo,
18:32.2
itong pinakamalakas na empire
18:34.2
sa buong kasaysayan ng mundo, an empire that doesn't
18:36.2
even want to call itself an empire, right?
18:38.2
A hidden empire, as some would call it.
18:40.2
Ay, may ganitong
18:42.2
situation na pwede bumalik si Trump
18:44.2
bilang presidente dito kasi
18:46.2
you know, I mean, I'll be honest.
18:48.2
Siyempre, nagkaroon tayo ng mga speeches and conversations
18:50.2
kahapon. Ipo-post ko, by the way, yung videos
18:52.2
natin and talks natin dito
18:54.2
kahapon, including dito sa Atlantic Council,
18:56.2
among others.
18:58.2
Kung itong bansa na ito,
19:00.2
I mean, we're having like serious,
19:02.2
really serious conversation
19:04.2
right now about possible return of Trump dito.
19:06.2
Now, sabi ko naman, yung mga
19:08.2
anti-China, right,
19:10.2
ay tua-ntua
19:12.2
dun sa posibilidad na babalik si Trump.
19:14.2
Yung mga pro-Russia
19:16.2
or pro-Putin, tua-ntua na
19:18.2
makabalik si Trump. Yung mga galit sa mga
19:20.2
woke, galit sa mga
19:22.2
nakakairitan ng mga bagay-bagay-bagay
19:24.2
dyan, diba? Tua-ntua na
19:26.2
babalik si Trump. Pero guys, let's just be honest.
19:28.2
Let's be honest. Let's be honest.
19:30.2
Okay. Ang laki
19:32.2
ng...
19:34.2
I mean, it tells a lot about your state
19:36.2
of democracy kung isang tao na
19:38.2
in spite of everything
19:40.2
may good shot na probably more than 50%
19:42.2
chance na maging presidente ng bansa na ito.
19:44.2
Now, none of this says
19:46.2
na hindi natin tinitignan
19:48.2
yung mga
19:50.2
kakulangan, kaewanan na nangyari
19:52.2
sa mga ibang presidente
19:54.2
or administration. I'm just saying,
19:56.2
I really appreciate yung walk down
19:58.2
there dun sa
20:00.2
dun sa whole museums,
20:02.2
the Capitol Hill and ang mga others.
20:04.2
Kasi it allowed me to put things into
20:06.2
perspective na kung
20:08.2
ang Amerika na napakatagal
20:10.2
ang kanilang
20:12.2
karanasan dito sa
20:14.2
ganitong sistema ng demokrasya,
20:16.2
quote-unquote, demokrasya.
20:18.2
Yung bansa na ganong kayaman,
20:20.2
ganong ka-develop, ganong ka-powerful,
20:22.2
kung sila, ganito yung kalagayan
20:24.2
ng kanilang politika, diba?
20:26.2
Kung meron sila mga Marjorie Greene,
20:28.2
QAnon-type mga
20:30.2
congresswomen and politicians,
20:32.2
then siguro naman hindi dapat tayo masyadong
20:34.2
nagtataka ng bansa na
20:36.2
katulad ng Pilipinas ay nandito
20:38.2
sa kalagayan na ganito. Because I always
20:40.2
say, guys, I always say, guys,
20:42.2
isa sa mga dahilan
20:44.2
na ang demokrasya
20:46.2
sa Pilipinas ay hindi
20:48.2
effective ay dahil yung Estado
20:50.2
natin ay napakahina.
20:52.2
Pag titignan mo ang Pilipinas, guys, yung ating
20:54.2
Estado, halos
20:56.2
hindi niya makontrol yung mga dynasties,
20:58.2
hindi niya makontrol yung mga
21:00.2
ginagawa ng mga oligarchs. If anything
21:02.2
sa Pilipinas, let's be honest, over the past
21:04.2
hundred years, the story of the Philippine State
21:06.2
is how it's constantly captured
21:08.2
by political dynasties and by
21:10.2
oligarchs and the combination of two, minsan yung
21:12.2
presidente gumagawa ng sariling oligarchs,
21:14.2
si Duterte may sarili, si ganito,
21:16.2
si Marcos may sarili,
21:18.2
si Marcos Sr., ganun-ganun.
21:20.2
So, we never had a strong state,
21:22.2
a kind of a centralized force
21:24.2
that developed the country and pushed
21:26.2
the elite and the best and brightest of the country
21:28.2
to serve the national interest.
21:30.2
Yun po yung parating natin weakness
21:32.2
sa Pilipinas. And there's
21:34.2
no surprise because actually, interestingly,
21:36.2
the America that conquered the Philippines
21:38.2
in the late 19th century and colonized
21:40.2
the Philippines throughout the early
21:42.2
20th century, eto po yung Amerika kung saan
21:44.2
napakahina din kanilang estado.
21:46.2
Eto yung federalized America kung saan
21:48.2
napakalakas yung mga federal, ah,
21:50.2
ng state-level states.
21:52.2
Pero yung kanilang
21:54.2
federal governments would not be strengthened
21:56.2
until si FDR ay pumasok.
21:58.2
So you're looking at way
22:00.2
later on pa after
22:02.2
the Philippines was colonized
22:04.2
by America. So yung sistema ng
22:06.2
politika na meron tayo sa Pilipinas,
22:08.2
guys,
22:10.2
eto po ay base doon sa very libertarian
22:12.2
weak state model
22:14.2
na meron ng America. Very populist
22:16.2
actually, by the way, also.
22:18.2
Meron ng America in the late 19th century
22:20.2
and early 20th century before yung mga
22:22.2
reforms ni FDR which transformed
22:24.2
the American state, the federal
22:26.2
American state into a solid state.
22:28.2
So that's very important. That's
22:30.2
very, very important, guys, na you have a
22:32.2
proper diagnostics of bakit ganyan
22:34.2
ng Pilipinas. So siguro kung Amerika
22:36.2
ay hindi nagkaroon ng FDR era,
22:38.2
hindi nagkaroon ng strength of federal government era,
22:40.2
kung hindi nagkaroon ng modernization
22:42.2
of state institution era, there would have
22:44.2
been a large, richer,
22:46.2
pero kasingsabog
22:48.2
version ng Pilipinas.
22:50.2
But nevertheless, despite
22:52.2
everything, mahamang usapan,
22:54.2
you can talk about neoliberalism, impact of
22:56.2
deregulation, privatization, all of that
22:58.2
since the 70s, but basta
23:00.2
para sa akin lang, every time
23:02.2
nakikita ko yung mga
23:04.2
kaewanan nangyari sa kongreso
23:06.2
dito na hindi na nakalayo,
23:08.2
it just
23:10.2
makes me realize na siguro
23:12.2
minsan mahirap
23:14.2
umakas na talaga sa Pilipinas. But having
23:16.2
said that, guys,
23:18.2
ang difference ng Amerika
23:20.2
sa Pilipinas, I would say,
23:22.2
among many other things, is that they always had
23:24.2
a very strong opposition.
23:26.2
Very, very strong opposition.
23:28.2
So whether
23:30.2
ang mga Democrats
23:32.2
in power, usually the Republicans
23:34.2
do very good in the midterm elections.
23:36.2
And kung mga Republicans
23:38.2
in power, pumabao yung mga Democrats.
23:40.2
And I know,
23:42.2
medyo mix yung mga nanonood sa atin,
23:44.2
marami sa mga nanonood sa atin, baka mas Republican,
23:46.2
mas Trump yan pa. But
23:48.2
let's just say for the sake of argument,
23:50.2
na mga Democrats ay
23:52.2
generally, let's say, part of the
23:54.2
working class of immigrants, of minorities,
23:56.2
etc. Kung titignan mo sila,
23:58.2
napaka-organize nila.
24:00.2
And
24:02.2
constantly, they
24:04.2
mobilize and organize on the ground and they
24:06.2
make sure na meron silang laban.
24:08.2
Na meron silang pwedeng
24:10.2
pangbawi.
24:12.2
Just in case, if yung kabilang side
24:14.2
is overly powerful
24:16.2
or doing something wrong. Now,
24:18.2
having said that, kaya nga guys,
24:20.2
every time na pinag-usapin natin ang Pilipinas,
24:22.2
ang sinasabi ko dito guys,
24:24.2
ang sinasabi ko dito guys, is
24:26.2
hopeless case
24:28.2
tayo unless
24:30.2
XYZ. And
24:32.2
kasama dun sa XYZ na yan,
24:34.2
ay dapat constantly organize,
24:36.2
mobilize opposition. And an opposition
24:38.2
that learns its lessons,
24:40.2
reflects on its mistakes, reflects on its
24:42.2
shortcomings, is open to constructive
24:44.2
criticism, is open to
24:46.2
dialogue, is open
24:48.2
to build
24:50.2
bridges, to build alliances,
24:52.2
build coalitions
24:54.2
beyond some
24:56.2
you know, alam mo na,
24:58.2
core base.
25:00.2
Diba?
25:02.2
And most importantly,
25:04.2
mahalaga na hindi mag-give up.
25:06.2
Right? Hindi lang in terms of politicians
25:08.2
not giving up, but also
25:10.2
opposition leaders
25:12.2
inspiring itong mga kababayan natin
25:14.2
not to give up on the country. To invest.
25:16.2
Because ang demokrasya po is a
25:18.2
constant process. It's a constant
25:20.2
process of mobilization.
25:22.2
It's a constant process of
25:24.2
contestation. It's a constant process of fighting
25:26.2
for a better country. Kaya dito for
25:28.2
instance sa Amerika, diba,
25:30.2
towards a more perfect union.
25:32.2
Diba? So there's always an admission na
25:34.2
it's always a work in progress.
25:36.2
Dapat ganun din guys ang tingin natin
25:38.2
sa ating demokrasya sa Pilipinas.
25:40.2
Tanggapin natin na, as imperfect as it is,
25:42.2
it can be improved.
25:44.2
But the improvement doesn't fall from the sky.
25:46.2
The improvement is something you have to
25:48.2
fight for constantly.
25:50.2
Through year after year after year.
25:52.2
At hindi pwede sa election period
25:54.2
lang ay naging sobrang
25:56.2
active tayo. At kung tapos na elections,
25:58.2
goodbye na tayo, mag-travel vlog na lang
26:00.2
tayo, etc. Hindi pwedeng ganun.
26:02.2
Right? Hindi pwedeng ganun. Dapat
26:04.2
constantly involved ka. And constantly
26:06.2
may discussion. Saan tayo nagkamali?
26:08.2
Saan tayo nagkakulang? Anong dapat
26:10.2
gawin natin? I'll tell you.
26:12.2
Baka may man nagsabi na ito si Hidalian, pinagsasabi
26:14.2
niya. Just to be clear about it,
26:16.2
isang dahilan guys na nagsimula tayo
26:18.2
mag-vlog and all of that.
26:20.2
Right? Pretty regularly.
26:22.2
It's precisely
26:24.2
because na-recognize
26:26.2
po natin. Hindi po ang
26:28.2
glutathione yan. Baka may nakita kayo dyan.
26:30.2
Hindi ang glutathione. Ano yan?
26:32.2
Mga vitamins kaya.
26:34.2
Mamaya magagawa din. Si Hidalian
26:36.2
naglugluta. Natan na nga ako dito eh.
26:38.2
Sobrang natan tayo.
26:40.2
Hindi ako naglugluta
26:42.2
tayo ng mga gano'n. But anyway,
26:44.2
balikan natin ito guys.
26:46.2
Nasaan tayo?
26:50.2
Nakaka-frustrate kasi
26:52.2
because people instead
26:54.2
of taking constructive criticism,
26:56.2
ipapersonal na yan. But
26:58.2
just to be clear about this,
27:00.2
sabi ko nga, on my part,
27:02.2
itong ginagawa natin ngayon, na itong
27:04.2
kagising lang, may
27:06.2
pimples dito,
27:08.2
pangit na yung tsura natin minsan.
27:10.2
More than minsan. Diba?
27:12.2
Yung buhok natin all over the place.
27:14.2
Okay lang yan. Para sa akin,
27:16.2
I'm willing to be exposed like that.
27:18.2
Because,
27:20.2
ito naman, damit, madali lang yan. Nandun lang yan.
27:22.2
Susuutin ko lang. Siyempre, sabi nyo, eh Hidalian,
27:24.2
pumuporma naman. Eh, kasi nandun
27:26.2
naman. Disuutin ko kagad.
27:28.2
Pero, tingnan nyo, wala tayong time na
27:30.2
ayusin sarili natin. And of that, kasi immediately
27:32.2
I have a meeting right after this. Diba? Oh.
27:34.2
Early morning parang dito.
27:36.2
Abol-habol sa trabaho tsaka ibang engagements.
27:38.2
Guys,
27:40.2
on my part, isang dahilan na
27:42.2
nagsimula tayo ng ganito, ng live sa
27:44.2
Facebook, live sa TikTok, live sa
27:46.2
YouTube, among others, exposing
27:48.2
ourselves, looking like a crazy, I mean,
27:50.2
I mean, exposing ourselves to criticisms,
27:52.2
I mean,
27:54.2
to criticism and all of that.
27:58.2
It's because naintindihan ko na
28:00.2
hindi pwede na umasa tayo sa mga
28:02.2
old means or traditional
28:04.2
means of
28:08.2
traditional. Yan naman nagtutrol.
28:10.2
Yan nga yung problema ko eh. Siyempre, itutrol na
28:12.2
naman tayo. I-expose tayo
28:14.2
guys sa
28:18.2
nasama tayo. Nag-distract ako dito.
28:20.2
Wait lang, guys. Huwag kayong magulo,
28:22.2
okay? Maganda itong sasabihin ko sana eh.
28:24.2
No, no, no. Sabi ko nga,
28:26.2
on my part,
28:28.2
isang dahilan na ginagawa natin ito
28:30.2
is because narecognize ko na yung mga
28:32.2
traditional means of opinion
28:34.2
shaping and
28:36.2
opinion making just
28:38.2
doesn't work. Alright?
28:40.2
Kaya nga sobrang agree ako
28:42.2
kay
28:44.2
kay my former colleague
28:46.2
sa Inquirer na si John Neri
28:48.2
na kung si Rizal ay buhay
28:50.2
sa panahon natin, guys. Maging vlogger talaga
28:52.2
yan. Hindi dahil vlogging
28:54.2
is the best way necessarily to get
28:56.2
the message across, but it is
28:58.2
best way in a sense that
29:00.2
yung depth and substance
29:02.2
na gusto mo sabihin, hindi mo
29:04.2
nalabas completely sa vlogs yan. Kaya I still
29:06.2
encourage you guys to please, if you have time,
29:08.2
read some of our stuff, read
29:10.2
some of our books para mag-get to yung context
29:12.2
and references and etc.
29:14.2
But sometimes it's really
29:16.2
the only way to get the message out
29:20.2
because,
29:22.2
aminin natin, marami sa ating kabayan, and perhaps that's
29:24.2
the difference naman with the US
29:26.2
because at least dito, sa ibang
29:28.2
bansa, mahilig magbasa ang tao.
29:30.2
I know it. I mean, I had many book
29:32.2
talks here. I had many conversations here.
29:34.2
Basta sa mga libro natin.
29:36.2
Last time I checked, I practically had
29:38.2
zero book talks in the Philippines.
29:40.2
Like yung book natin sa About Duterte,
29:42.2
I had
29:44.2
I had book talk about it in
29:46.2
Stanford. I had book talk about it here in
29:48.2
Washington, D.C.
29:50.2
I had book talk about it in Europe.
29:52.2
I had book talk about it in Thailand.
29:54.2
I had book talk about it all around the world. Pero hindi sa Pilipinas.
29:56.2
I mean, I'm not saying
29:58.2
there's no book talk in the Philippines. But to be honest,
30:00.2
maraming beses napansin
30:02.2
natin. Umayos na kayo.
30:04.2
Huwag kayong magtroll. Ibablock ko kayo.
30:06.2
Maraming beses napansin natin.
30:08.2
Guys naman, behave kayo.
30:10.2
This is a serious conversation. And you're
30:12.2
just trying papansin lang kayo dyan. Umayos kayo dyan.
30:14.2
Buti nga yung mga nasa TikTok behave ngayon.
30:16.2
Umayos kayo. Ibablock ko kayo.
30:18.2
Para kayong mga gulong bata sa
30:20.2
classroom. May sasabihin nung
30:22.2
teacher nyo, okay, makinig kayo.
30:24.2
And then going back to this,
30:26.2
guys,
30:28.2
yun nga eh.
30:30.2
I'll just be very honest, guys.
30:32.2
Walang masyadong nagbabasa ng libro.
30:34.2
Walang masyadong nagbabasa ng mga articles.
30:36.2
So, at
30:38.2
indicates ng tao, napakahirap magsulat
30:40.2
ng matinong column or essay
30:42.2
article. Napakahirap, guys. Napakahirap.
30:44.2
At sobrang mas mahirap
30:46.2
magsulat ng mga libro. And
30:48.2
again,
30:50.2
not to be mayabang about it,
30:52.2
writing columns or essays
30:54.2
sa isang
30:56.2
reputable publication
30:58.2
is not easy at all.
31:00.2
And to do a hundred of
31:02.2
that, a thousand of that, thousands
31:04.2
of that, it's not easy at all.
31:06.2
Writing a book,
31:08.2
just for any publisher, for a
31:10.2
in my case, for Palgrave Macmillan
31:12.2
for instance, or some of the international academic
31:14.2
publishers, hindi po madal yan.
31:16.2
It takes a lot of your energy.
31:18.2
Right? A lot of my
31:20.2
energies in my 20s
31:22.2
and early 30s went into writing this
31:24.2
book, guys. Alright?
31:26.2
And magsanagitan nyo and all of that.
31:28.2
The love of that is because overnight, I mean,
31:30.2
there were times na magsusulat ka until 4-5
31:32.2
a.m., and then
31:34.2
sa sobrang stress mo, hindi ka makatulog, so
31:36.2
kakain ka pa sa morning, which is not a healthy way
31:38.2
of doing it. So, kaya nga, I became conscious
31:40.2
about my diet, naging intermittent na lang ako
31:42.2
ay only twice a day. Kahapon
31:44.2
nga, I just had lunch and breakfast. That's it.
31:46.2
I didn't eat the whole day. Nag-late
31:48.2
brunch lang ako, nag-breakfast ako
31:50.2
ng 9 a.m., just some cheese
31:52.2
and bagels and all of that, and then I
31:54.2
did my pasta and all of that at 2 p.m.
31:56.2
Sinasabi ko yan kasi sa usapan
31:58.2
ng Glutathione, and then hindi na ako kumain
32:00.2
until now. Hindi pa ako kumain. Hindi pa ako
32:02.2
nag-breakfast. So,
32:04.2
my point is,
32:06.2
you're sacrificing a lot. You're investing
32:08.2
a lot to write these things and all of that.
32:10.2
So, minsan nakakalungkot when you realize,
32:12.2
again,
32:14.2
I'm
32:16.2
I feel extremely privileged na marami
32:18.2
sa inyo
32:20.2
get to watch our vlogs
32:22.2
and get to
32:24.2
hear about what we do or
32:26.2
nakita nyo sa media, international news.
32:28.2
I understand that, but I hope people
32:30.2
understand, napakahirap mong sulat.
32:32.2
Alright? It's emotionally
32:34.2
emotionally difficult.
32:36.2
Especially kung yung mga topics mo is
32:38.2
not the happiest topics. Hindi ka naman nagblog
32:40.2
about the latest, I don't know,
32:42.2
Gucci or Dolce & Gabbana, whatever.
32:44.2
Hindi ka naman nagblog about, I mean, maybe
32:46.2
one day I'll do that, but you're not blogging about the latest
32:48.2
BMW or something like that. No.
32:50.2
You're blogging about some very difficult conversations.
32:52.2
So, yung isa sa
32:54.2
columns ko recently was about Navalny.
32:56.2
Right? And I started with a quote from
32:58.2
Senator Trillanes. And then I
33:00.2
talk about Ninoy. I mean, it's difficult.
33:02.2
These are emotionally wrenching topics.
33:04.2
You talk about Bukele. You talk about Duterte.
33:06.2
You know? And this doesn't even involve some of
33:08.2
my other articles around the world when I write about
33:10.2
US-China competition,
33:12.2
peace and war questions, which are very stressful
33:14.2
topics. And imagine how much research
33:16.2
you have to put into it to make sure na
33:18.2
it's constantly updated, it's
33:20.2
unique, it can stand the scrutiny
33:22.2
of time, scrutiny of expertise,
33:24.2
kaya po nga after talk natin dito sa Atlantic
33:26.2
Council, you had academics,
33:28.2
ex-ambassadors coming
33:30.2
to me and saying, Richard, it's
33:32.2
lovely to finally meet you in person.
33:34.2
I've been quoting your works. I've been writing
33:36.2
stuff based on your works.
33:38.2
Nakakataba ng puso yan.
33:40.2
But at the same time, you realize back home,
33:42.2
I'm not sure how many people really
33:44.2
pay attention to this
33:46.2
kind of methodical,
33:48.2
conscientious writing based on research
33:50.2
and evidence and all like that. So, that means
33:52.2
to be honest, to get the message out,
33:54.2
is really vlogs.
33:56.2
Alright? And as much
33:58.2
as vlogs is concerned,
34:00.2
timing din yan, swertehan din yan.
34:02.2
Ma-viral ka ba? Tamang oras pa ba?
34:04.2
Feeling ko, hindi ata tamang oras na
34:06.2
kasi may kasabay yata tayo mga ibang
34:08.2
vloggers na ganitong oras din sila nag-ano.
34:10.2
So, you're competing pa with other people.
34:12.2
And then, minsan,
34:14.2
dito sa social media, labanan na ito ng
34:16.2
clickbait pa
34:18.2
megaphone, diba?
34:20.2
Palakihan ng
34:22.2
caps lock ng title.
34:24.2
Yung mga ganun.
34:26.2
Pabuljakan.
34:28.2
It's really hard.
34:30.2
Kasi ano yan eh,
34:32.2
parang
34:34.2
ginilagay ka sa palengke
34:36.2
and regardless of kung sinong magaling hindi,
34:38.2
oh, mag-iingay kayo.
34:40.2
Sinong pinakamahinga, yun na lang pansinin nyo.
34:42.2
So, but,
34:44.2
as I said,
34:46.2
if this is the way, then this is the way
34:48.2
and you have to directly deal with it accordingly.
34:50.2
You know, yesterday while I was walking around,
34:52.2
I do this a lot.
34:54.2
So, I'm walking around.
34:56.2
I'm going. I'm seeing the
34:58.2
US Congress here. I'm seeing the museums here.
35:00.2
I'm seeing all the symbols of democracy here.
35:02.2
Pero ang pinapakinggan ko sa podcast is Russia.
35:04.2
Is Navalny.
35:06.2
Right? And how
35:08.2
in the case of Navalny, for instance,
35:10.2
nag-aral siya ng one year.
35:12.2
Nag-fellowship siya sa Yale
35:14.2
Law School.
35:16.2
And he learned a lot about American democracy
35:18.2
and all of that. So, I was listening to all of these things
35:20.2
from Turgenev
35:22.2
to Dostoyevsky
35:24.2
to Tolstoy, to Navalny.
35:26.2
You know, all the struggles that Russian
35:28.2
intelligentsia and liberals and modernists
35:30.2
had to go through the past 200 years or so.
35:32.2
Right?
35:34.2
And I was wondering,
35:36.2
kumpara naman sa mga ganitong
35:38.2
bansa na yan, our situation in the Philippines is not
35:40.2
as bad. It's not as bad.
35:42.2
But at the same time, we have to understand
35:44.2
we're not gonna have a better democracy until
35:46.2
we fight for it. Right? And until
35:48.2
we also accept.
35:50.2
This is one thing I always appreciate
35:52.2
about Navalny. God bless his soul.
35:54.2
His argument was
35:56.2
you...
35:58.2
We cannot afford
36:00.2
to be hopeless. Right? Because
36:02.2
the moment you give up hope, you give up
36:04.2
that chance, that little chance you have
36:06.2
for a better country, for a better future.
36:08.2
Now, I'm not saying na
36:10.2
wag kayo mag-abroad. Yung mga
36:12.2
iba sa inyo gusto mag-migrate, et cetera.
36:14.2
Alam ko yan. Ang dami kong
36:16.2
kaibigan ang based abroad.
36:18.2
But alam ko, deep inside, they still care
36:20.2
about the Philippines. And some of them, you don't
36:22.2
even have to go deep inside. You know that they care
36:24.2
about the Philippines. Because they're constantly... In fact,
36:26.2
isa sa mga reasons na
36:28.2
pansin ko, ang taas ng rankings
36:30.2
natin, yung podcast natin. Kanina,
36:32.2
nacheck ko, nasa top
36:34.2
political podcast tayo. Even sa Italy.
36:36.2
Pumasok na tayo sa Italy.
36:38.2
So, sa Singapore, sa Italy. So,
36:40.2
all around the world, nagta-top 50-100
36:42.2
tayo dun sa mga political
36:44.2
news podcast nila. Because
36:46.2
of, I'm sure, hindi naman ako
36:48.2
nagfe-feeling. I think ito yung mga
36:50.2
kababayan natin na sa ibang bansa.
36:52.2
Sa Italia, sa Inglaterra,
36:54.2
sa Francia,
36:56.2
sa Australia, sa
36:58.2
iba't ibang bansa. At nakikinig sila sa atin.
37:00.2
Nakikinig sila sa sinasabi natin.
37:02.2
Nakikinig sila sa mga guests
37:04.2
natin. Nakikinig sila dun sa mga issue na pinag-usapan
37:06.2
natin. They're trying to keep in touch with the country because
37:08.2
they care about their country. They love their country. They may have
37:10.2
another citizenship. They may have moved on,
37:12.2
become European, American, whatever. But,
37:14.2
at the end of the day, Pilipino pa rin sila. So, ang sinasabi ko
37:16.2
guys dito is that
37:18.2
you have to be
37:20.2
clear na
37:22.2
you won't
37:24.2
get the change that we deserve
37:26.2
as Filipinas. Kaya, inis na inis ako
37:28.2
dito sa statement na
37:30.2
Sorry, medyo all over the place tayo ngayon. But,
37:32.2
I just wanna have a real talk here.
37:34.2
Honest conversation here. Kasi,
37:36.2
feeling ko na a lot of times, I'm holding
37:38.2
back because, you know, I don't wanna hurt
37:40.2
people's feelings. I felt I already said too many
37:42.2
things. I don't wanna come off wrong. But,
37:44.2
I mean, you know, when you
37:46.2
have long walks, you have
37:48.2
10, 20 kilometers of walks, and then
37:50.2
you're reflecting on history, you're
37:52.2
listening to
37:54.2
Herzen, and Torgenev, and
37:56.2
all of that, of Navalny, and what's happening
37:58.2
in the US, and all of that. You know,
38:00.2
you're gonna say, you know, let's be honest
38:02.2
about this, you know.
38:04.2
Buongiorno.
38:06.2
Mga italyana tayo, mga kaibigan
38:08.2
nandito, mga kababayan natin from Italy.
38:10.2
Buongiorno, buongiorno. Buenasera.
38:12.2
Buenasera.
38:14.2
No, I mean,
38:16.2
the mindset matters, guys.
38:20.2
The mindset really matters. If the mindset
38:22.2
is, let's just hope
38:24.2
that some matinong politician wins every
38:26.2
3-4 years, and then maybe things will be better,
38:28.2
wala talagang mangyari sa bansa
38:30.2
natin. Good luck sa atin. Hopeless case
38:32.2
talaga tayo in that case. You're just setting yourself
38:34.2
up for disappointment.
38:36.2
Right? But if your mindset is,
38:38.2
it's a marathon,
38:40.2
right? It's a, it's,
38:42.2
alam mo yung mga marathon
38:44.2
runners, diba? It's about
38:46.2
gradual improvements, diba?
38:48.2
It's about doing that marathon run,
38:50.2
and then every month or every
38:52.2
run, you're .1 second
38:54.2
better. You're 1 second better.
38:56.2
You're 2 seconds better. Sometimes
38:58.2
1 minute or several minutes better
39:00.2
after several runs, diba?
39:02.2
Dapat ganun
39:04.2
ang pag-intindi natin sa politika.
39:06.2
This is like a marathon. This is a
39:08.2
constant struggle
39:10.2
to push the Philippines in the right direction.
39:12.2
And there are gonna be disappointments. Just like
39:14.2
for marathon runners, sometimes they're
39:16.2
there's gonna be time that suddenly
39:18.2
mas maganda yung time nila pala dati.
39:20.2
Bumaba pa yung ranking nila. Then
39:22.2
you fight back and you push it forward. Dapat ganito
39:24.2
yung mindset. Once you embrace
39:26.2
the nature of political change
39:28.2
as a marathon,
39:30.2
then, in fact,
39:32.2
I will say this. It's not only marathon. It's
39:34.2
Olympics. Because pagdating
39:36.2
sa politika, you have to know many things. You have to be
39:38.2
good in communications, timing,
39:40.2
projection, policy,
39:42.2
everything. So it's like Olympics. Hindi
39:44.2
lang pwede magaling na tumakbo ka.
39:46.2
Dapat magaling ka sa'yo in many things. So going back
39:48.2
to this, guys.
39:50.2
We have to have that kind of right
39:52.2
mindset. And that,
39:54.2
ladies and gentlemen, sets up
39:56.2
the premise for our conversation
39:58.2
today. Okay. So after one hour,
40:00.2
40 minutes, by the way.
40:02.2
After 40 minutes. Ito na. Pag-usapan na
40:04.2
natin ito. So,
40:06.2
everything I've been saying over the past 40
40:08.2
minutes is to set the tone for
40:10.2
the conversation we're gonna have today.
40:12.2
Because, ito na. Finally.
40:14.2
Naganunsyo na ang
40:16.2
opposition na
40:18.2
mag-file na sila,
40:20.2
sorry, mag-field na sila
40:22.2
ng at least three candidates
40:24.2
for the Senate.
40:26.2
And, palakpakan.
40:28.2
Why? Because
40:30.2
for me,
40:32.2
first of all,
40:34.2
this goes along the line of what I said.
40:36.2
Mahalaga na ang opposition is
40:38.2
part of this conversation. Hindi pwede
40:40.2
nag-popcorn-popcorn lang tayo.
40:42.2
Hindi pwede na
40:44.2
just waiting to get lost.
40:46.2
Ano yung music na yung waiting to get
40:48.2
lucky? Hindi pwede ganyan.
40:50.2
You have to fight for it.
40:52.2
No matter
40:54.2
the odds.
40:56.2
Speaking of odds, actually the odds
40:58.2
are not too bad.
41:00.2
Ang announcement ngayon
41:02.2
tatakbo for Senate
41:04.2
at least three individuals
41:06.2
associated with the opposition.
41:08.2
Three very accomplished individuals.
41:10.2
Three very smart individuals.
41:12.2
Having said that, I may have
41:14.2
some agreements or disagreements with one of them
41:16.2
or two of them or whatever.
41:18.2
As you may have noticed,
41:20.2
you may remember guys, actually na-interview natin si
41:22.2
si Atty.
41:24.2
si Dean Jokno
41:26.2
and his son. Of course, we interviewed him dun sa
41:28.2
movie niya, Gumburza. But si
41:30.2
si Dean Jokno,
41:32.2
we had a conversation with him during
41:34.2
his elections in 2022. And
41:36.2
he is a person that I think
41:38.2
really, really embodies.
41:40.2
Right?
41:42.2
he has
41:44.2
the best values that a Filipino can have.
41:46.2
Right?
41:48.2
Yung kanya conviction sa buhay,
41:50.2
yung kanyang talino
41:52.2
Yung kanyang humility.
41:54.2
Humility, I'll tell you what.
41:56.2
I know that humility is not my number-one virtue.
41:58.2
Or at least shallow
42:00.2
understanding of humility.
42:02.2
Because if you're really, really humble,
42:04.2
you're willing to expose yourself to criticism.
42:06.2
But anyway, let's not get there.
42:08.2
But ito si Atty.
42:10.2
si Atty. atty. na talagang grabe.
42:12.2
genuinely a humble person.
42:14.7
And you could see,
42:15.3
he's there to learn,
42:16.7
he's there to serve,
42:18.2
he's there to help.
42:19.7
Right?
42:20.0
Malaking bagay na sa mga laking.
42:21.3
So,
42:21.9
despite the fact na twice natalo siya,
42:24.3
right?
42:24.8
He didn't do too bad.
42:25.9
I think especially sa first one.
42:28.0
Considering from what level he was starting.
42:31.2
I think this is something,
42:32.7
something brave.
42:33.9
Ayan na.
42:34.3
Ayan na yung mga trolls natin dyan.
42:36.3
Ayan.
42:37.5
Alam mo guys,
42:38.4
yung mga pinagtatawan ninyo yung opposition.
42:40.7
Tingnan natin sa 2028.
42:42.8
Mukhang hindi rin mananalo yung kandidato nyo.
42:44.8
So,
42:45.4
mukhang kaya masyado mayabang dyan.
42:47.0
Alright.
42:47.8
And then of course,
42:48.6
you have Bah Makino.
42:50.4
Who has a record of
42:52.6
beating Marcos Jr. in 2016.
42:55.5
And then in 2022,
42:56.9
even if super late sila nagsimula,
42:59.3
at least,
43:00.2
sila rin nag first runner up.
43:01.5
Right?
43:01.7
And she was able to get
43:02.8
27% of the votes
43:05.0
against the UNI team.
43:06.8
As I said,
43:07.9
had UNI team not been unified,
43:10.6
meaning if Duterte,
43:11.5
if Dutertes and Marcos,
43:12.9
kung hindi sila sumama,
43:14.2
who knows?
43:14.7
Maybe the race would have been
43:15.8
completely different.
43:16.9
Maybe it would have been
43:17.7
completely competitive.
43:19.1
O, ibang usapan na yung
43:19.9
my SD cards and all.
43:21.0
Okay, I'm not gonna go into that.
43:23.3
But just on this issue,
43:25.0
just on this issue,
43:26.9
if you look at Bah Makino,
43:27.9
he's someone who's not only
43:28.8
a former senator,
43:30.2
but he's someone who actually
43:31.9
has an experience of running
43:33.6
very, very high profile campaigns.
43:36.1
Very high profile campaigns.
43:37.1
Now,
43:38.6
personally,
43:39.3
I had no interaction
43:40.1
with Bah Makino
43:41.7
like ever.
43:43.4
Right?
43:44.8
Now, baka naman,
43:45.6
baka nainis sila sa akin
43:46.6
for everything I said
43:47.5
and all of that during the...
43:48.6
But,
43:49.7
in fairness,
43:50.3
from people that I know,
43:53.1
from academics that I respect,
43:55.5
na nakausap nila si Bah Makino,
43:57.7
I've been reassured by them
43:59.5
that actually,
44:00.5
Bah Makino is someone
44:01.4
who's very perceptive,
44:03.9
he's very reflexive,
44:05.8
and who's someone
44:07.0
who's fundamentally willing
44:08.5
to learn from them.
44:09.7
Right?
44:10.1
In the past,
44:11.2
both good and bad,
44:12.1
and move forward
44:12.8
in the best way possible.
44:13.9
And he looks like someone
44:14.9
who has the kind of
44:16.5
mental resilience
44:17.3
and strength, right,
44:19.4
to deal with the difficulties
44:20.6
that opposition candidates
44:22.1
face in a country
44:22.7
like the Philippines.
44:23.6
Right?
44:24.1
Not to mention,
44:24.8
ang dami niyang accomplishment
44:25.7
as a human being.
44:27.2
Right?
44:28.6
As a social entrepreneur,
44:32.0
bilang estudyante,
44:33.2
napakagaling na estudyante
44:34.6
ito sa Ateneo,
44:36.0
a youth leader,
44:37.4
dami niyang awards
44:38.1
all around the world.
44:40.1
And then, of course,
44:41.7
you have the
44:42.3
former opposition leader
44:43.7
and former vice presidential candidate,
44:48.9
Senator Kiko Pangilinan,
44:51.2
who has,
44:52.3
there's no need even for introduction
44:54.1
when it comes to him.
44:55.9
Interestingly, actually,
44:57.5
the only time
44:59.1
the only time na I got the chance
45:01.9
to meet him properly was
45:03.6
nung sa Taiwan ako last September.
45:06.2
And actually,
45:07.5
I was surprised.
45:08.4
I mean, in fairness,
45:08.9
he's just,
45:09.6
suabe siya.
45:10.6
Matanggat pala siya.
45:13.2
And, I mean,
45:14.5
relatively matanggat siya.
45:15.9
And then,
45:17.0
yeah, I mean,
45:18.6
I didn't see any swagger.
45:20.4
I saw a lot of dignity.
45:23.0
And I think,
45:24.1
he didn't say much.
45:25.4
But from my understanding,
45:27.3
is that he had some deep thinking
45:29.5
and soul-searching,
45:30.4
and et cetera,
45:30.8
after the elections
45:31.7
in 2022.
45:33.8
Now, if you look at the surveys
45:36.1
na pinag-usapan natin,
45:37.3
these are surveys
45:38.0
from two to three months ago,
45:39.6
actually,
45:40.4
at least two out of these three candidates
45:42.2
have a very good chance
45:43.3
of being very competitive.
45:46.3
I'm not saying that
45:47.2
mahirap talaga itong Senate race ngayon
45:49.2
kasi ang daming re-election is,
45:51.2
ang daming mga pro-tatay,
45:53.0
ang daming rin maging bet
45:54.7
ng gobyerno,
45:56.4
administrasyon.
45:57.3
So, the spot is,
45:59.3
sobrang tight tong competition na ito.
46:01.0
But, in fairness,
46:02.6
based on some of the numbers we saw,
46:05.0
some of them,
46:05.9
especially Bang Makino,
46:06.7
is pretty competitive.
46:08.6
Pretty competitive.
46:09.6
So, for me,
46:12.3
another reason to be
46:14.2
relatively cautiously optimistic
46:19.6
about the trajectory.
46:20.7
When I say trajectory,
46:21.5
I'm saying that
46:22.6
we're not sure kong anaylo.
46:23.7
But, to be relatively cautiously optimistic
46:26.6
about the trajectory, at least,
46:28.5
is that you have right now
46:29.8
in the Liberal Party
46:30.7
the person of Leila de Lima.
46:34.6
And interestingly,
46:35.3
Leila de Lima is now the spokesperson
46:36.8
of the Liberal Party.
46:38.3
And she's the one who made
46:39.6
the announcement.
46:40.9
At base sa kanya,
46:42.4
base sa kanya announcement,
46:43.6
they intend to be
46:44.5
opposition candidates.
46:45.6
Senator Kiko is surely
46:46.4
an LP candidate.
46:47.4
Senator Bam and Dil Jen
46:48.5
are not officially LP members.
46:50.1
So, this is a joint ticket
46:51.3
of the opposition,
46:52.1
not LP.
46:53.4
And for me,
46:54.6
the Lima being there,
46:57.0
right,
46:58.0
says something.
46:59.5
Right?
46:59.8
Because,
47:00.7
pagdating sa katapangan,
47:03.3
pagdating sa political conviction
47:04.7
and all of that,
47:05.2
I mean,
47:05.6
pagdating sa trials,
47:07.6
I mean,
47:07.9
if you look at it,
47:08.6
the things that,
47:09.6
Leila de Lima
47:10.0
had to go through,
47:10.6
my goodness,
47:11.5
no?
47:12.2
And yet,
47:12.7
coming out,
47:13.4
coming out strong
47:14.4
and coming out
47:15.3
fighting for the opposition,
47:17.0
I mean,
47:17.2
that's quite something, right?
47:18.2
And I think just her presence there
47:19.9
will give tremendous amount
47:22.1
of boost
47:24.0
and faith
47:24.8
to the opposition candidates
47:26.6
in what is looking like
47:28.4
gonna be a very,
47:29.8
very,
47:30.3
very difficult
47:31.0
race
47:32.7
next year,
47:33.9
to be honest about it.
47:34.9
So,
47:35.0
just to give you
47:35.7
a little background,
47:36.9
si Pangilinan
47:38.1
was actually
47:38.7
senator from
47:39.3
2001 to 2013
47:40.6
and 2016 to 2022.
47:42.3
So,
47:42.4
already has two terms,
47:43.6
12 years experience,
47:44.6
a dozen years.
47:45.6
Aquino,
47:46.3
si Bam Aquino
47:46.9
was senator from
47:47.5
2013 to 2019.
47:49.6
He lost in 2019
47:51.6
at,
47:52.2
he was at 14th place.
47:53.7
So,
47:54.0
just outside the magic 12.
47:56.5
Si Jokno naman,
47:57.4
he placed 21st
47:58.7
and actually improved it,
48:00.1
sorry,
48:00.5
he improved from
48:01.2
21st in 2019
48:02.4
to 19th in 2022.
48:04.7
So,
48:04.9
the hope is to keep on
48:05.7
pushing it.
48:06.6
Although,
48:07.1
again,
48:07.5
to be realistic about it,
48:08.7
I think the race,
48:09.3
it's much more difficult
48:10.3
this time.
48:11.9
Again,
48:12.3
I'm hearing people
48:12.8
talking about Vico Soto
48:13.7
and all of that.
48:14.6
My understanding is
48:15.3
Vico Soto wants to
48:16.3
finish his three terms
48:17.5
as mayor of
48:18.7
Apacig.
48:20.0
And then,
48:20.4
once he's done with that,
48:22.6
he will still not be 40.
48:24.1
Right?
48:24.4
So,
48:25.1
it's too early to talk about him
48:26.2
as a presidential candidate
48:27.3
but let's see where
48:28.0
things go from there.
48:29.1
Yeah,
48:29.3
masyadong maagayin
48:30.0
kay Vico Soto,
48:30.7
right?
48:31.0
And I hope
48:31.6
we don't fall into
48:33.4
this tendency again
48:34.4
of pinning all our hopes
48:35.6
on one individual or two
48:37.0
because you're just
48:37.8
setting yourself up
48:38.7
for disappointment.
48:39.3
All right?
48:40.4
May sariling pag-iisipan
48:41.6
ang tao na yan.
48:42.3
May sariling siyang
48:42.9
mga plano sa buhay.
48:44.3
Hayaan lang natin siya.
48:46.0
Okay?
48:47.1
And let's just hope
48:48.1
that Vico Soto
48:48.8
is just one out of
48:50.0
many, many other
48:51.0
great
48:51.6
LGU leaders.
48:54.0
Kaya nga,
48:54.3
na-interview natin
48:55.7
si,
48:56.8
among others,
48:57.6
for instance,
48:58.0
si Mayor Benji Magalong
48:59.2
who I think
48:59.8
would be an interesting
49:00.7
not opposition,
49:02.6
not administration,
49:03.8
very center,
49:04.8
but good center.
49:06.0
I think Benji Magalong
49:07.0
is someone also
49:07.7
very interesting
49:08.3
to keep in mind
49:09.2
in the coming years
49:10.7
as conversations
49:11.5
about presidential
49:12.5
and vice-presidential
49:13.6
candidates
49:14.1
come into picture.
49:15.3
I think as a senator
49:16.0
also he has a pretty good chance
49:17.5
if he wants to go for that.
49:18.7
So,
49:20.0
the idea here,
49:22.2
as I said,
49:22.7
Mel Hometa,
49:23.3
is you have to at least
49:24.5
fight a good fight.
49:26.1
There might be
49:26.7
some chance there
49:27.4
because I think
49:27.9
one or two of them
49:28.5
at least is competitive.
49:30.9
Jokno was an
49:31.5
important trajectory.
49:32.7
BAM, I think,
49:33.2
can do well
49:33.9
if they learn
49:35.0
their lessons.
49:35.4
Again,
49:35.8
it's going to be
49:36.4
super hard to get in.
49:38.0
But as I said,
49:38.5
there needs to be
49:39.5
opposition there
49:40.2
because so far,
49:41.0
the only true opposition
49:43.1
is Riza Ontiveros.
49:45.5
Alright?
49:45.8
Riza Ontiveros
49:46.7
is the only opposition
49:47.5
in the Senate.
49:48.8
Alright?
49:49.7
So,
49:50.3
Riza can't
49:50.8
be a lone dissenting
49:52.5
voice forever
49:53.2
until 2028.
49:56.1
Right?
49:56.4
And then,
49:56.7
of course,
49:56.9
we can talk about
49:57.4
Riza as a potential
49:58.2
presidential candidate
49:59.3
or vice-presidential candidate.
50:00.7
But,
50:01.6
you know,
50:01.9
speaking of all
50:02.4
of these things,
50:02.9
guys,
50:03.8
sorry,
50:06.6
I'm just checking
50:07.0
this meeting.
50:08.5
Alright?
50:11.3
They need to fight
50:12.2
for this
50:12.6
because they have to have
50:13.8
a seat at the table.
50:16.7
Hindi pwede na
50:17.5
umasa ka lang
50:18.2
na bigyan ka ng
50:18.8
position ni BBM
50:19.8
which has its own
50:21.7
questions.
50:23.1
Hindi pwede umasa
50:23.8
na informal ka lang.
50:25.5
Hindi pwede umasa
50:26.2
na pasikreto.
50:27.3
Hindi pwede ganito eh.
50:28.9
Right?
50:29.4
You have to fight
50:30.2
for the positions yourself.
50:31.4
Iba talaga
50:31.9
kung may
50:32.4
position ka dyan
50:33.6
sa Senado.
50:34.3
Iba talaga
50:34.8
kung senador ka mismo.
50:36.3
Or iba talaga
50:37.0
kung you came
50:37.6
very close
50:38.2
to the position.
50:38.5
To winning
50:38.7
that position.
50:39.8
Right?
50:40.0
So,
50:40.5
let's see where
50:41.5
these things go.
50:42.3
But,
50:42.4
what I noticed
50:43.9
over the past
50:44.7
few days is
50:45.9
rise of
50:46.8
Riza Duterte.
50:48.4
Riza Duterte.
50:49.4
Ayan,
50:49.6
pagod.
50:50.1
Kutom na ako.
50:50.9
Riza
50:51.3
Contiveros.
50:53.1
Kasi inisip ko na naman
50:54.3
si Riza.
50:55.3
Si,
50:55.6
si,
50:56.7
hindi pa rin,
50:57.4
naisip ko pa rin
50:58.6
si ano eh.
50:59.8
Si
51:00.1
Sara Duterte.
51:01.7
Yung,
51:01.9
yung kanyang speech.
51:02.6
Parang bait-bait
51:03.2
ni Sara Duterte,
51:04.3
no?
51:05.1
Parang bait-bait
51:05.7
niya sa mga speech niya.
51:07.3
Ganyan-ganyan.
51:08.1
Okay.
51:08.5
Alright.
51:09.1
Tuloy naging Riza Duterte.
51:10.4
Hindi,
51:10.7
yung rise ni Riza Contiveros
51:12.3
as really itong matapang
51:13.9
na palabad na
51:14.8
senator.
51:16.3
Speaking of
51:16.8
Kibuloy,
51:17.4
of course.
51:17.9
You know,
51:18.0
I don't want to talk about
51:18.6
Kibuloy anymore
51:19.2
kasi nakadalawang vlogs na tayo
51:20.5
back-to-back kay Kibuloy.
51:21.8
Baka,
51:22.6
lalong ano,
51:23.9
huwag na natin
51:24.4
i-overdue yan.
51:27.1
Yeah,
51:27.7
gutom na ako actually.
51:28.4
You can see na
51:28.9
wala na ako energy.
51:29.7
Last meal I had
51:30.6
was more than
51:31.1
24 hours ago.
51:32.5
Okay.
51:34.9
Yeah.
51:36.2
Wala na.
51:36.9
Sabaw na.
51:38.5
Wala na energy.
51:39.8
I need to eat na.
51:41.3
Okay.
51:44.7
So,
51:45.3
let's see.
51:45.9
Let's see.
51:46.4
I mean,
51:47.9
over the past few days,
51:48.8
you're seeing
51:49.3
rise of Riza
51:50.2
and at the same time,
51:50.8
you're seeing all of these
51:51.4
announcements about
51:52.5
the opposition will go
51:54.2
for gold
51:55.3
or at least silver
51:56.2
in the Senate.
51:58.2
And,
51:59.0
I think we should wait
51:59.8
for also other announcements.
52:00.9
I think there will be also
52:01.6
very interesting announcements
52:02.7
soon.
52:03.4
Probably also the more
52:04.4
other progressive side
52:05.3
will make announcements.
52:06.2
Maybe there'll be
52:06.7
conversations about
52:07.6
a full slate.
52:08.7
There'll be conversations
52:09.4
about cross-intersectional
52:11.2
slates.
52:12.0
There'll be conversations
52:12.7
about coalition building
52:14.5
among others.
52:15.6
And, maybe, guys,
52:16.9
may be conversations
52:17.8
about, yan,
52:18.5
yung favorite ni Margarita.
52:20.6
Ay, hindi pala si Margarita.
52:21.7
Si Doña pala.
52:22.6
Gusto ni Doña.
52:23.2
Harry Rocket daw.
52:24.1
Ito si Doña,
52:24.7
kanina pa nagtitroll yan.
52:26.1
Gusto niya si Harry Rocket
52:27.1
daw to mock before Senate.
52:28.4
Isa pa,
52:28.9
dagdagan natin
52:29.5
para interesting
52:30.1
ang conversation.
52:31.3
On that note,
52:31.8
thank you very much,
52:32.6
mga kameta.
52:33.4
I hope you have
52:34.4
a lovely day.
52:35.3
I hope you guys
52:42.6
have a lovely day
52:43.4
and I hope to catch up
52:44.9
with you guys soon.
52:45.9
Tomorrow,
52:47.5
morning your time
52:48.8
because evening
52:49.5
my time later on.
52:50.6
We're hoping to also
52:51.5
have a proper conversation
52:52.7
on West Philippine Sea,
52:55.1
AFP modernization,
52:57.3
F-16 fighters,
52:59.0
warships, etc.
52:59.9
with someone who
53:00.5
really knows this stuff.
53:01.6
So, Admiral Ong.
53:03.5
Hopefully, with Admiral Ong,
53:04.8
we are going to have
53:05.3
a detailed conversation.
53:07.0
We had some conversation
53:07.8
with Senator Trillanes on that
53:09.3
but we want to have
53:10.3
really an operational
53:11.4
technical discussion
53:12.3
also about AFP modernization
53:14.0
that I hope you guys
53:14.9
will appreciate.
53:16.2
Speaking of,
53:17.1
yes, Margarita,
53:17.9
speaking of Senator Trillanes,
53:19.6
I was just messaging
53:20.4
folks
53:22.2
the other day.
53:24.1
We hope to have
53:25.0
also more of
53:25.6
Senator Trillanes
53:26.7
in our conversation soon.
53:28.8
Siguro,
53:29.2
gawa rin tayo
53:29.7
na version natin
53:30.4
ng R&R
53:31.1
with Sunny naman.
53:32.6
R&S,
53:33.7
diba?
53:34.3
S&R,
53:35.3
okay na.
53:37.2
S&R,
53:38.6
diba?
53:39.1
Sunny and Richard.
53:40.7
Sunny and Ricardo.
53:41.9
Alright, so,
53:42.4
you know,
53:42.7
maybe S&R.
53:44.7
Let's do an S&R
53:45.9
with Sunny
53:46.8
or we can do
53:48.1
R&S,
53:51.9
right?
53:52.8
Ronaldo,
53:53.5
Ricardo,
53:54.5
Sunny,
53:55.6
alright?
53:56.2
Pero S&R,
53:56.9
parang ganda na S&R, no?
53:58.1
S&R.
53:59.4
Sunny and Ricardo,
54:00.8
alright?
54:00.9
Hopefully, we'll have
54:01.7
more of that.
54:02.2
As I said,
54:03.5
you know,
54:03.7
I'm not into,
54:05.3
you know,
54:05.8
my podcasts are not
54:06.9
really interviews.
54:08.8
They're more conversations.
54:10.5
So, I'd rather have them
54:11.4
as my,
54:12.0
the fact to co-hosts
54:13.8
than my guests.
54:15.9
So, yeah.
54:16.4
So, hopefully,
54:16.9
we'll not have
54:17.6
Trillanes only as a guest.
54:20.4
We'll also hopefully
54:21.3
have him as a
54:21.9
semi-co-host
54:23.0
as we pick up
54:25.1
this conversation
54:25.7
and all.
54:26.1
Because I think
54:26.5
in terms of understanding
54:27.5
for the opposition
54:28.3
should go,
54:29.2
the mistakes,
54:29.8
the shortcomings,
54:30.7
the strengths,
54:32.0
the green shoots,
54:33.3
I think,
54:34.1
medyo malaki yung
54:35.0
overlap natin
54:36.0
with Sunny.
54:37.6
So, let's look at
54:38.3
S&R,
54:39.1
another prospect.
54:40.0
And speaking of R&R,
54:41.6
hopefully, we can also
54:42.4
arrange with that
54:42.9
kasi si Ronald kasi,
54:44.6
ano eh,
54:45.1
crush ng bayan ngayon.
54:46.5
Sobrang
54:47.0
Ronald Aldens
54:49.1
Llamas.
54:51.2
Hindi ko na siya
54:51.7
ma-reach eh.
54:52.5
Mahirap na siya
54:53.2
ang ano eh.
54:54.4
Isang araw nga eh
54:55.5
nag-message ako
54:56.4
kay
54:57.1
Sir Ronald.
54:58.9
Sabi ko,
54:59.4
Ronald Aldens Richards,
55:01.4
pwede ka ba
55:01.9
sa ganitong araw?
55:03.0
Sabi niya,
55:03.8
sige,
55:04.2
tanungin ko yung
55:04.9
ano ko,
55:06.0
yung
55:06.2
secretary ko.
55:08.3
Ganyan na ang level niya,
55:09.7
diba?
55:10.2
Inanan na tayo eh.
55:13.0
Nasa linya na tayo
55:14.4
ngayon, diba?
55:15.1
Maraming,
55:16.0
ano na siya,
55:16.7
regular na siya ngayon
55:17.7
sa iba't ibang lugar.
55:18.7
Kaya sabi ko,
55:19.3
magpasalamat siya sa amin
55:20.4
ni Christian, diba?
55:21.8
Nakita yung
55:22.4
kagalingan niya
55:23.3
kasi sobrang
55:23.9
close na regular na siya
55:25.3
sa amin dalawa.
55:26.1
So,
55:26.7
kitang-kita ng mga
55:27.6
ibang media friends natin
55:28.9
gano'ng kagalingan
55:29.7
ito si Ronaldo.
55:30.6
So,
55:31.2
if we have R&R,
55:32.3
hopefully,
55:33.2
ang target natin next is
55:34.9
S&R naman
55:36.2
with Sir Sonny.
55:37.4
Because I think
55:38.2
it's a good dynamic.
55:39.2
I like my conversation
55:40.0
with Sonny.
55:41.4
Kasi pansin niyo guys,
55:42.6
iba yung dynamics,
55:43.6
diba?
55:43.8
Pagkasama ko si Ronald,
55:45.3
ayan,
55:45.6
nagpapatawa kami
55:46.5
pero seryosa
55:47.1
at the same time.
55:48.2
With Sir Sonny,
55:49.6
ano kami eh,
55:50.3
buhat kami,
55:50.9
mga ano eh,
55:52.0
medyo.
55:53.4
So, gusto ko rin
55:54.4
yung dynamic na yan.
55:55.5
So, it's nice,
55:56.4
it's good.
55:56.8
And then, of course,
55:57.3
pagkasama naman natin
55:58.1
si Leloy,
56:00.0
medyo dynamic natin,
56:01.1
mga ilustrado,
56:02.6
diba?
56:03.0
Mga ganyan.
56:03.7
And then, of course,
56:04.2
with si Mark Gamboa,
56:05.4
iba na naman
56:05.9
yung dynamic natin siya.
56:07.4
Alright, on that note,
56:08.7
thank you very much
56:09.3
mga kamenta.
56:10.6
Parang pumapayat tayo dito
56:11.9
kasi di tayo kumakaya
56:13.5
naman sa sarap na food
56:14.5
na miss ko tuloy
56:15.1
mga pagkain natin sa Asia.
56:16.8
Andali pala pumayat
56:18.4
sa ano, no?
56:19.5
Pag hindi ka na sa Asia
56:20.7
and all of that.
56:22.1
Oo.
56:23.3
Hindi, I mean,
56:23.7
good naman ako dito.
56:25.0
I'm just saying,
56:25.6
pag nasa Pilipinas ako,
56:28.4
sa Asia ako,
56:29.2
or something like that,
56:29.7
atas ang appetite ko,
56:30.8
diba?
56:30.9
Atas ang appetite ko
56:31.8
kumain.
56:32.6
Lalo yung,
56:33.4
ano man yung rice na,
56:34.2
natin and all of that.
56:35.0
Dito wala eh,
56:35.8
kaya madali pumayat.
56:36.8
Okay.
56:37.4
Anyway,
56:38.0
on that note,
56:39.6
push lang natin.
56:40.5
I-push lang natin
56:41.3

56:42.4
Okay?
56:43.0
Ayan,
56:43.4
magpa-public clamor na tayo.
56:45.2
I think there should be
56:45.9
a public clamor.
56:47.0
Okay.
56:47.6
Now,
56:47.7
imemessage ko sila,
56:49.8
