Ayan na, ayan na, good morning mga kameta, kamusta kayo dyan?
00:18.6
Medyo may natutunan tayong style ngayon, medyo pa-warm up natin pag YouTube at saka TikTok and mga others
00:25.6
You have to get the machine warmed up first before getting the ball rolling
00:29.3
Pero eto na guys, marami tayong pag-usapan, maraming ganap ha
00:34.2
Hindi ko pa nga naayos yung buhok ko dito, biglang
00:37.3
Parang napansin ko pag nag-abroad ako gumaganyan yung buhok ko, I think it's the chlorine in the water
00:44.2
Hindi ko naman sinasabi ng magandang buhok ko pero malalang nagiging, ewan ko mohawk na hindi ko maintindihan bakit nagiging ganyan
00:51.2
I think it's really the effect of chlorine, pag nag-shampoo tayo ganyan
00:54.4
Hindi ko alam for some reason mga kameta, nagiging pataas siya ng gano'n
00:58.4
The same thing happens
00:59.3
Sa Tokyo diba, nung two weeks ago or so, nung nag-uusap tayo ni Bossing Ronaldo
01:04.5
Wala na, sang Goku na yung hair natin, pero mukhang talaga it's the chlorine and all
01:08.6
So i-figure out natin yan
01:10.4
Now, habang pinag-figure out ko guys itong chlorine na ito, bakit gumaganon lalo yung buhok natin, umakyat ng gano'n
01:17.7
Eto na, mukhang daming ganap sa Pilipinas ha, daming ganap sa Pilipinas
01:22.6
Kamusta naman kayo dyan? Kamusta mga gluta club natin dyan?
01:29.3
Talagang, ang Pilipinas talaga, never ka ma, hindi talaga, let me be nice okay
01:37.1
Talagang hindi tayo matatakay, hindi tayo maubusan ng ano, hindi gluta, hindi tayo maubusan ng content talaga sa Pilipinas
01:45.7
Medyo malamig-lamig din, actually usually guys, pag sa mga malalamig na bansa, pag gumigising tayo ng mga gaya
01:53.4
Ayan, Jimmy Neutron tuloy tawag sa, hindi ko alam, basta mayroon bang gluta sa Jimmy Neutron?
01:59.3
Hindi, usually kasi, pag mga malamig na bansa, gusto ko lumabas ng maaga gano'n, pag sunny
02:06.3
Eh, kala ko dito, tulad ng Tokyo, sunny, dire diretsya, wala
02:11.6
First day pa lang yata ang sunny dito sa Washington DC, nako, second, third day, glooming gloomy na, parang feeling New York tuloy ako ngayon
02:19.0
Eh, actually, nung first day dito, pansin nyo, naging tan pa ako, interesting, dito pa ako naging tan
02:29.3
Ang ganda ng sky, sobrang ganda ng sky, ganda ng weather, so talagang go, go in, talagang todo, patan na lang tayo
02:37.7
Kasi at least dito guys, yung init ng sun, bearable because honestly, as a Baguio boy and someone who also grew up in temperate climates and all of that
02:49.7
Talaga mas prefer ko ito, at pansin nyo guys, sobrang maaga pa lang gising na tayo dito, for some reason, hindi ko alam bakit sa Pilipinas
02:59.3
Napan ako matulog sa Pilipinas, hindi ko alam kung ito yung init, ito ay dahil mahal yung electricity, kakabayad ko lang kanina electricity, tumawag yung mga
03:08.1
Wala na yung internet natin, wala na yung electricity natin, kaya magising pa lang ng 5am, okay, magbayad na tayo, shucks, ang mahal pa naman na electricity
03:16.1
Chinag ko pa nga kanina yung ano eh, transmission fees pa lang na may ral ko, naka, laki laki talaga
03:21.4
Ay, naka good luck sa Pilipinas, pero yung nga, hindi ko alam kung ito yung init sa Pilipinas or yung bayad sa electricity, sa aircon, sa
03:29.3
Anong nagpapastress sa akin, but for some reason, usually pag nasa mga malamig na lugar tayo, whether ito yung Greenland, Denmark, last November, whether ito yung Tokyo last month, whether Washington DC ngayon
03:41.1
For some reason, maaga tayo natulog, para tayo matanda, matanda naman tayo ng konti, pero para tayo matanda, mga 9pm pa lang, tulog na ako
03:51.0
Anyway, speaking of Gluta
03:59.3
May nakita akong ano
04:03.5
Ayun ako, pangalan na ito, si Tarantadong Kalbo, maraming siyang na-post
04:11.0
Hindi kasi, nag-follow ako sa kanya, maganda naman yung mga posts niya, tsaka in fairness kay Tarantadong Kalbo, even if may mga
04:17.4
Tao dyan, may mga, may mga konting back and forth kami nung time ng elections, kasi, I mean, 19 na ako, etong guy na ito, magaling sa caricature and all of that
04:26.6
But, to be honest, I'm not sure kung gano'n ka
04:29.1
Expose etong magaling na artist na ito, pagdating sa, you know, nuance, high level political analysis
04:35.9
But anyway, baka mga caricature na naman tayo
04:38.5
Hindi, parang kanina kasi, pag magising ko pa lang, nakita ko to
04:44.2
Sabi ko, ano ba nangyari dito, sabi ko, sino to, ano ba nangyari
04:49.7
So, napa, ano ako, napatingin ako na
04:53.3
Tapos, nakalagay dito, mga maling
04:56.4
Grabe naman guys, this is mean
04:58.9
So, sabi ko, sino to, na-curious talaga ako na
05:03.3
Saan galing etong mga post na eto
05:06.8
And then, pag-check natin, eto tuloy
05:08.8
May nagpa-drip pa lang sa, ng glutathione
05:13.6
Dyan sa, sa Pilipinas lang ba nag-glutathione ng mga tao
05:19.5
Anyway, may nagdi-drip ng glutathione dyan sa Senado
05:24.3
So, ang dami nag-react dyan
05:25.9
Including some of the fellow senators
05:28.9
And including some of the medical health professionals and experts
05:33.1
Na who happen to be influencers dito
05:35.4
Unang-una, may reaction from Senator Nancy Binay
05:38.6
Of course, si Nancy Binay, maraming ano
05:41.6
Maraming mga substantive interventions, pag mga ganitong bagay
05:44.8
Ito yung pinost ng kaibigan natin from TV5 One News
05:50.3
Jove, sabi ni Nancy Binay dito
05:52.8
I'm not sure if the Ethics Committee can extend its sub-jurisdiction dito sa nangyaring insidente
05:58.9
Since hindi naman membro ng Senado
06:03.7
But we also need to closely look into it
06:05.3
Because it involves issues of conduct, integrity, and reputation of the institution
06:09.5
And matters that concern health and safety
06:12.8
Health and safety
06:14.8
Nakaka-bother lang dahil yung procedure na ginawa sa premises ng Senado
06:20.4
Ay walang abiso mula sa clinic
06:23.6
And to make it more complicated
06:25.3
Yung gluta drip ay na-declare na mismo ng department of...
06:32.1
Food and Drug Authority
06:34.1
and it was administered outside sa isang
06:36.7
clinical without the proper medical
06:38.6
advice from a licensed
06:40.3
health professional.
06:43.2
As public figures, sana aware
06:44.7
din tayo sa responsibilidad natin sa publiko
06:46.8
we might be promoting something na
06:50.3
at iligal at akala ng mga
06:52.7
tao eh okay lang. Isipin din
06:54.8
sana natin ng kasamang
06:56.5
ano to, kapanagutan
06:58.7
ang pagiging artista na
07:01.8
ito yung sinasabi na
07:06.0
kapanagutan. Okay may natuto tayo
07:08.9
dyan. Lalo na kung
07:10.9
senador ang asawa mo.
07:12.5
Okay. Ayayayayayay
07:15.0
ito talaga tayo mga kamets
07:16.5
no. Kaya pala yun yung
07:18.2
pinosh ni kuya. Now
07:22.4
bagot natin pag-usapan
07:24.4
ng Senate Slate. Pag-usapan natin
07:31.0
dito sa ating Senado
07:33.6
dun sa Senate race
07:35.6
last 2022 elections
07:38.2
kasi guys, alam nyo naman
07:39.9
pagdating sa ranking sa Senate
07:43.7
ito talagang merit, kagalingan
07:47.6
mastery of matters
07:51.2
matters of national
07:53.8
interest. Talagang ganito po
07:55.9
ang basihan ngayon nowadays. Especially
07:57.7
since nag number 1 si
07:59.2
yung isa pang artista nung 2010
08:01.8
Senate elections. Ganito po
08:03.8
kataas yung level ng of course
08:05.7
yung basihan natin. Pagdating
08:07.9
sa election of our
08:09.9
senators and all of that. So, nag-respond
08:12.2
yung nag number 1
08:19.4
expanding list ng mga artista
08:25.8
once they get into the
08:27.7
highest chambers of
08:29.8
the nation. Alright, okay, okay
08:31.7
May nag-comment na life-selling ba ito?
08:34.5
Nang ano? Nang gluta?
08:36.4
Lang yan. Okay, okay, okay
08:37.9
Ito, ito, ito guys.
08:39.5
May nag-respond. May
08:46.3
Medyo pinagtatawanan yung mga nagre-react
08:49.8
dyan. Sabi niya, huwag nyo nang
08:51.5
pakialaman kung anong ginagawa natin dyan. Ito yung sinabi niya
08:57.7
political issue na yan
08:59.3
My goodness, kung may nakita po
09:02.1
silang masama sa larawan
09:04.1
na yan, paumanhin po
09:09.0
Yung kanyang asawa po daw
09:15.9
good health. Natatawa
09:18.4
Pero yun nga po yung
09:28.6
Wala naman tayong problema sa good looks
09:31.5
Kung gwapo naman tayo
09:34.0
or maganda naman tayo. Okay naman po
09:35.6
walang problema. Sige lang, ilivestream nyo yung
09:37.7
pagkaganda at pagkagwapo natin
09:39.4
Ang question kasi dito
09:41.5
at ito yung intervention ng mga
09:43.7
medical experts among others
09:45.5
So hindi lang si Nancy Bina. I think Nancy Bina is also
09:47.7
part of the ethics committee
09:49.3
or siya ba yung head ng ethics committee. But anyway
09:51.3
hindi lang po si Nancy Bina yung nag-comment
09:53.7
dito. You also have public health
09:55.6
officials including those who have worked
09:57.6
with the department of health
09:58.7
those who have advised the government
10:01.4
during the pandemic. Those who
10:03.2
know a thing or two about actually medical
10:08.4
hindi mailig sa mga pulvoronic na
10:11.3
ideas. Ito ito. So si
10:15.1
sabi niya, hindi niya naintindihan
10:21.4
to the good senator
10:22.9
and the issues and the far-reaching
10:25.1
implications of yung mga social media posts
10:27.6
saan. Ayan, nag-flex
10:29.8
sa mga tao, nag-gluta drip
10:31.4
or whatever. Sabi ni
10:39.4
too, but we can call out this post as a
10:41.5
threat to health and a low regard
10:43.6
for the senate office for such marketing
10:48.7
Okay, so marketing daw yun
10:55.5
Diyos ko, ang Pilipinas talaga
10:57.6
Mahirap talaga mahalin ng Pilipinas guys. Mahal na mahal na lahat ng Pilipinas. Pero minsan pinapahirapan tayo.
11:10.7
Yan ang feeling ko eh. If there is a national emotion that describes the feeling of any Filipino who cares about our country, it's hugot. Ang daming hugot. Mahugot talagang pagmamahal sa Pilipinas.
11:22.2
Um, ano mo ito na lahat na, lahat na ginagawa mo, lahat ng, lahat na lang.
11:28.2
Pero, actually guys
11:31.5
In fairness naman, yun naman me
11:33.4
Um, I always put things into historical
11:35.7
perspective. Actually, kahapon nga
11:37.8
nandun ako sa Smithsonian
11:41.3
And, um, ang daming beses na pumunta
11:45.2
sa DC throughout the years. Pero
11:47.7
ngayon lang ako nagbigay ng panahon talaga
11:55.3
sa Smithsonian, yung mga nature, no? So pumunta
11:57.6
ko talaga yung panahon ng dinosaurs,
11:59.6
panahon ng mga unang
12:01.6
tao, panahon ng mga
12:05.6
ng mga homo sapiens, mga unang homo
12:07.6
sapiens. At some point, there were like four or five
12:09.6
of us na, na different species
12:11.6
coexisting. And then we had this fantastic
12:13.6
conversation, ah,
12:15.6
with some folks dyan sa
12:19.6
ah, museum. Ang daming. Para lang
12:21.6
ano, magkakaroon tayo ng big picture
12:25.6
But at the same time, when thinking about
12:27.6
big picture understanding, tinigna ko rin
12:29.6
dito, ang politika dito sa Washington
12:31.6
DC. My goodness, ang daming din nila mga
12:33.6
antics na tao dito sa politika nila.
12:37.6
anong, pakala nyo si Marjorie
12:39.6
Green ba yan? Ano pa?
12:41.6
Ay, yung mga QAnon
12:43.6
people na nandito sa
12:45.6
sa Kongreso, nandyan lang.
12:51.6
you know, as much as minsan nadisappoint ka sa
12:53.6
Pilipinas and all of that, pag iniisip mo
12:55.6
rin yan, ano katangan
12:57.6
ang sinasabi ng itong mga to?
13:03.6
Huwag kayong mag-troll sakin,
13:05.6
bablock ko kayo kaagad ah. Umayos ayos kayo.
13:07.6
Ayan, go Trump na ulit
13:09.6
yung iba dyan. Um.
13:11.6
Hindi, hindi. I was thinking ganito.
13:13.6
Let's not forget,
13:15.6
ang sistema ng demokrasya na meron tayo sa
13:17.6
Pilipinas, ang sistema ng gobyerno na meron tayo
13:19.6
sa Pilipinas, lahat yan guys, ay
13:23.6
Hindi sa Espanya, hindi sa
13:25.6
Inglaterra, hindi sa Pransya.
13:27.6
Base ito sa sistema
13:29.6
dito sa Amerika. And I was, I was wondering
13:31.6
kung ang Amerika nga ngayon
13:35.6
situation, may mga QAnon
13:37.6
people ay nasa Kongreso.
13:39.6
Nandyan lang, nandyan lang. Over the horizon
13:43.6
etong bansa ay most
13:47.6
ano, ang magiging race dito ay
13:49.6
back to, back to the future
13:53.6
malaking chance, increasingly at
13:55.6
least 50% chance na manalo si
13:57.6
Trump bilang next president.
13:59.6
Mapapaisip ka talaga na
14:01.6
baka naman yung nangyari sa Pilipinas ay hindi
14:03.6
ganun ka nakakapagtataka.
14:05.6
Dahil kung yung bansa mismo
14:07.6
na nagbigay sa atin
14:09.6
ng mga sistema ng
14:11.6
demokrasya natin at mga others,
14:13.6
kung yung bansa na yan ay ganito ang
14:15.6
situation nila, kahit isa sila sa
14:17.6
pinakamayayaman na bansa. So,
14:19.6
per capita income of an American is around
14:21.6
60 plus thousand dollars
14:25.6
Compared to just over 4,000
14:27.6
dollars in the Philippines. So,
14:29.6
more than 10 times na mas mayaman
14:31.6
ang isang average American
14:33.6
kumpara sa isang average na Filipino.
14:35.6
At ang Amerika po ay more than
14:37.6
200 years of experience of
14:39.6
democracy, although of course
14:41.6
many would argue that siguro
14:43.6
until 1960 is questionable
14:45.6
yung claim to democracy because of
14:47.6
yung situation ng mga African
14:49.6
American folks in the deep south
14:51.6
here sa United States. But,
14:53.6
given all of that,
14:55.6
iniisip ko nga kung Amerika nga na ganyang
14:57.6
kayaman na bansa, na pinakamalakas na
14:59.6
bansa sa mundo. I mean, you look at the military
15:01.6
power in this country, it's incredible.
15:03.6
Kung tinigna mo yung kanilang technological
15:05.6
power, venture capital,
15:07.6
napakalakas na bansa. Kung itong bansa
15:09.6
na ito na pinakamalakas na bansa sa buong
15:11.6
kasaysayan ng mundo, itong mga
15:13.6
pinakamalakas na empire sa buong kasaysayan ng mundo,
15:15.6
an empire that doesn't even want to call itself
15:17.6
an empire, right? A hidden empire.
15:19.6
As some would call it.
15:21.6
Ay, may ganitong situation na
15:23.6
pwede bumalik si Trump bilang presidente
15:25.6
dito. Kasi, you know, I mean,
15:27.6
I'll be honest. Siyempre, nagkaroon tayo
15:29.6
ng mga speeches and conversations kahapon.
15:31.6
Ipo-post ko, by the way, yung videos natin
15:33.6
and talks natin dito kahapon, including
15:35.6
dito sa Atlantic Council,
15:37.6
among others. Kung itong
15:39.6
bansa na ito, I mean,
15:41.6
we're having like serious,
15:43.6
really serious conversation right now about
15:45.6
possible return of Trump dito.
15:47.6
Now, sabi ko naman, yung mga anti-China
15:51.6
tuwan-tuwa dun sa posibilidad
15:53.6
na babalik si Trump.
15:55.6
Yung mga pro-Russia or pro-Putin,
15:57.6
tuwan-tuwa na makabalik si Trump.
15:59.6
Yung mga galit sa mga woke,
16:01.6
galit sa mga nakakairitan
16:03.6
ng mga bagay-bagay-bagay dyan, diba?
16:05.6
Tuan-tuwa na babalik si Trump.
16:07.6
Pero guys, let's just be honest.
16:09.6
Let's be honest. Let's be honest, okay?
16:13.6
I mean, it tells a lot
16:15.6
about your state of democracy
16:17.6
kung isang tao na,
16:19.6
in spite of everything, may good shot
16:21.6
na probably more than 50% chance
16:23.6
na maging presidente ng bansa na ito. Now,
16:25.6
none of this says na
16:27.6
hindi natin tinitignan yung mga
16:31.6
kaewanan na nangyari sa mga
16:33.6
ibang presidente or administration.
16:35.6
I'm just saying, I really
16:37.6
appreciate yung walk down there
16:41.6
museums, the Capitol Hill
16:43.6
and ang mga others kasi it allowed
16:45.6
me to put things into perspective
16:47.6
na kung ang Amerika
16:53.6
karanasan dito sa ganitong sistema
16:55.6
ng demokrasya, quote-unquote,
16:57.6
demokrasya, yung bansa na
16:59.6
ganong kayaman, ganong ka-develop,
17:01.6
ganong ka-powerful, kung sila
17:03.6
ganito yung kalagayan ng kanilang politika,
17:05.6
diba? Kung meron silang mga
17:07.6
Marjorie Greene, QAnon
17:09.6
type mga congresswomen
17:11.6
and politicians, then siguro
17:13.6
naman hindi dapat tayo masyadong nagtataka
17:15.6
ng bansa na katulad ng Pilipinas
17:17.6
ay nandito sa kalagayan na ganito.
17:19.6
Because I always say, guys,
17:21.6
I always say, guys,
17:23.6
isa sa mga dahilan na
17:25.6
ang demokrasya sa Pilipinas
17:27.6
ay hindi effective
17:29.6
ay dahil yung Estado natin ay napakahina.
17:31.6
Pag titignan mo ang
17:33.6
Pilipinas, guys, yung ating Estado, halos
17:35.6
hindi niya makontrol
17:37.6
yung mga dynasties, hindi niya
17:39.6
makontrol yung mga ginagawa ng mga
17:41.6
oligarchs, if anything sa Pilipinas, let's
17:43.6
be honest, over the past hundred years, the story
17:45.6
of the Philippine State is how it's constantly
17:47.6
captured by political
17:49.6
dynasties and by oligarchs and the combination
17:51.6
of two. Minsan yung presidente gumagawa
17:53.6
ng sariling oligarchs, si Duterte may sarili,
17:55.6
si ganito, si ganyan,
17:57.6
si Marcos may sarili, si Marcos Sr.,
17:59.6
ganon-ganon. So, we
18:01.6
never had a strong state, a kind of
18:03.6
a centralized force that developed the country
18:05.6
and pushed the elite and
18:07.6
the best and brightest of the country to serve
18:09.6
the national interest. Yun po yung parating
18:11.6
natin weakness sa Pilipinas.
18:13.6
And there's no surprise,
18:15.6
because actually, interestingly, the America
18:17.6
that conquered the Philippines in the
18:19.6
late 19th century and colonized the Philippines
18:21.6
throughout the early 20th century,
18:23.6
eto po yung Amerika kung saan napakahina
18:25.6
din kanilang estado.
18:27.6
Eto yung federalized America kung saan napakalakas
18:29.6
yung mga federal, ah, ng
18:31.6
state-level states,
18:33.6
pero yung kanilang federal
18:35.6
governments would not be strengthened until
18:37.6
si FDR ay pumasok. So you're
18:39.6
looking at way later on pa
18:41.6
after the Philippines was
18:43.6
colonized by America.
18:45.6
So, yung sistema ng politika
18:47.6
na meron tayo sa Pilipinas,
18:49.6
guys, eto ay base
18:51.6
dun sa very libertarian
18:53.6
weak state model na meron
18:55.6
ng American. Very populist, actually,
18:57.6
by the way, also. Meron ng American
18:59.6
in the late 19th century and early 20th
19:01.6
century before yung mga reforms ni FDR
19:03.6
which transformed the American
19:05.6
state, the federal American state
19:07.6
into a solid state. So that's very
19:09.6
important. That's very, very important,
19:11.6
guys, that you have a proper diagnostics
19:13.6
of bakit ganyan ang Pilipinas.
19:15.6
So siguro kung Amerika ay hindi nagkaroon
19:17.6
ng FDR era, hindi nagkaroon ng
19:19.6
strengthening of federal government era, kung hindi
19:21.6
nagkaroon ng modernization of state institution
19:23.6
era, there would have been a large
19:27.6
kasing sabog version
19:29.6
ng Pilipinas. But
19:31.6
nevertheless, despite everything,
19:33.6
mahabang usapan, you can talk about new
19:35.6
liberalism, impact of deregulation,
19:37.6
privatization, all of that since the 70s, but
19:39.6
basta para sa akin lang,
19:41.6
every time na nakikita ko yung mga
19:45.6
na nangyari sa kongreso dito na hindi
19:49.6
it just makes me realize
19:53.6
mahirap umasa talaga sa Pilipinas.
19:55.6
But having said that,
19:57.6
guys, ang difference
20:01.6
Pilipinas, I would say, among many
20:03.6
other things, is that they always had a very strong
20:05.6
opposition. Very,
20:07.6
very strong opposition.
20:11.6
ang mga Democrats in power,
20:13.6
usually the Republicans do very
20:15.6
good in the midterm elections. And
20:17.6
kung mga Republicans naman in power,
20:19.6
pumabao yung mga Democrats.
20:21.6
And I know, medyo mix yung
20:23.6
mga nanonood sa atin, marami sa mga nanonood
20:25.6
sa atin, baka mas Republican, mas Trump yan pa.
20:29.6
let's just say for the sake of argument, na
20:31.6
mga Democrats ay generally
20:33.6
let's say, part of the working class
20:35.6
of immigrants, of minorities, etc.
20:37.6
Kung titignan mo sila,
20:39.6
napaka-organized sila, no?
20:45.6
and organize on the ground, and they make sure
20:47.6
na meron silang laban, na meron
20:51.6
pangbawe, no? Just in case
20:53.6
if yung kabilang side
20:55.6
is overly powerful or doing something wrong.
20:57.6
Now, having said that,
20:59.6
kaya nga, guys, every time na
21:01.6
pinag-usapan natin ang Pilipinas, ang sinasabi
21:03.6
ko dito, guys, ang sinasabi ko dito,
21:07.6
hopeless case tayo unless
21:11.6
And kasama dun sa
21:13.6
X, Y, Z na yan, ay dapat
21:15.6
constantly organize and mobilize
21:17.6
opposition. And an opposition that learns
21:19.6
its lessons, reflects on its
21:21.6
mistakes, reflects on its shortcomings,
21:23.6
is open to constructive criticism,
21:25.6
is open to dialogue,
21:31.6
to build alliances,
21:33.6
build coalitions beyond
21:43.6
most importantly, mahalaga na
21:45.6
hindi mag-give up, right?
21:47.6
Hindi lang in terms of politicians not giving
21:51.6
opposition leaders inspiring
21:53.6
itong mga kababayan natin not to give
21:55.6
up on the country, to invest. Because
21:57.6
ang demokrasya po is a constant
21:59.6
process. It's a constant process
22:03.6
it's a constant process of contestation,
22:05.6
it's a constant process of fighting for a better
22:07.6
country. Kaya dito, for instance, sa Amerika,
22:09.6
diba, towards the
22:11.6
more perfect union, diba? So there's
22:13.6
always an admission na it's always
22:15.6
a work in progress. Dapat
22:17.6
ganun din, guys, ang tingin natin sa ating
22:19.6
demokrasya sa Pilipinas. Ang tanggapin natin na
22:21.6
as imperfect as it is, it can
22:23.6
be improved. But the improvement
22:25.6
doesn't fall from the sky. The improvement
22:27.6
is something you have to fight for
22:29.6
constantly through year after
22:31.6
year after year. At hindi pwede
22:33.6
sa election period lang
22:35.6
ay naging sobrang active tayo.
22:37.6
At tung tapos na elections, goodbye na tayo,
22:39.6
mag-travel vlog na lang tayo,
22:41.6
et cetera. Hindi pwedeng ganun.
22:43.6
Hindi pwedeng ganun. Dapat constantly
22:45.6
involved ka. And constantly may discussion.
22:47.6
Saan tayo nagkamali? Saan tayo
22:49.6
nagkakulang? Anong dapat gawin natin?
22:51.6
I'll tell you. Baka may man nagsabi na ito
22:53.6
si Haydarian, pinagsasabi niya.
22:55.6
Just to be clear about it, isang dahilan, guys,
22:57.6
na nagsimula tayo mag-vlog and all of that.
22:59.6
Right? Pretty regularly.
23:03.6
It's precisely because
23:05.6
na-recognize po natin.
23:07.6
Hindi po ang glutathione yan.
23:09.6
Baka may nakita kayo diyan. Hindi ang glutathione.
23:11.6
Mga vitamins ko yan.
23:13.6
Mamaya magagawin.
23:15.6
Si Haydarian nag-gluta.
23:17.6
Natan na nga ako dito eh.
23:19.6
Sobrang natan tayo.
23:21.6
Hindi ako nag-gluta tayo ng mga ganun.
23:23.6
Anyway, balikan natin ito, guys.
23:31.6
kasi, you know, because
23:33.6
people instead of taking
23:35.6
constructive criticism, ipapersonal nila yan.
23:39.6
clear about this, sabi ko nga,
23:41.6
on my part, itong ginagawa
23:43.6
natin ngayon, na ito, kahit gising
23:45.6
lang, may pimples dito,
23:49.6
tsura natin minsan, more
23:51.6
than minsan, di ba? Yung buhok natin
23:53.6
all over the place, okay lang
23:55.6
yan para sa akin. I'm willing
23:57.6
to be exposed like that.
23:59.6
Because, ito naman, damit, madali lang yan.
24:01.6
Nandun lang yan, susuutin ko lang. Siyempre,
24:03.6
sabi nyo, si Haydarian, pumuporma naman ganun.
24:05.6
Eh, kasi nandun lang naman, hindi susuutin ko
24:07.6
agad. Pero, tingnan nyo,
24:09.6
wala tayong time na ayusin sarili natin.
24:11.6
And of that, kasi immediately, I have a meeting right
24:13.6
after this, di ba? Early morning parang
24:15.6
dito, abol-habol sa
24:17.6
trabaho tsaka ibang engagements. Guys,
24:21.6
isang dahilan na nagsimula tayo
24:23.6
ng ganito, ng live sa Facebook,
24:25.6
live sa TikTok, live sa Youtube,
24:27.6
among others, exposing ourselves, looking
24:29.6
like a crazy, I mean,
24:31.6
exposing ourselves to criticisms, I mean,
24:35.6
criticism and all of that,
24:39.6
itindihan ko na hindi pwede
24:41.6
na umasa tayo sa mga old
24:43.6
means or traditional means
24:49.6
yan naman nagtutrol, yan nga yung problema ko,
24:51.6
eh, siyempre, itutrol na naman tayo.
24:53.6
I-expose tayo, guys, sa,
24:59.6
nag-distract ako dito.
25:01.6
Wait lang, guys, wag kayong magulo, okay?
25:03.6
Maganda tong sasabihin ko sana, eh.
25:09.6
isang dahilan na ginagawa natin ito is because
25:11.6
na-recognize ko na yung mga traditional
25:13.6
means of opinion shaping
25:15.6
and opinion making
25:17.6
just doesn't work.
25:19.6
Alright? Kaya nga sobrang
25:25.6
my former colleague sa, sa Inquirer,
25:27.6
na si John Neri, na kung si
25:29.6
Rizal ay buhay sa panahon natin, guys,
25:31.6
maging vlogger talaga yan.
25:33.6
Hindi dahil vlogging is the best
25:35.6
way necessarily to get the message across,
25:39.6
best way in a sense that yung
25:41.6
depth and substance na gusto mo sabihin,
25:43.6
hindi mo malabas completely
25:45.6
sa vlogs yan. Kaya I still encourage you guys
25:47.6
to please, if you have time, read some of our stuff,
25:49.6
read some of our books,
25:51.6
para mag-get sa'yo yung context and references
25:53.6
and et cetera. But,
25:55.6
sometimes, it's really the only way
25:57.6
to get the message out.
26:01.6
aminin natin, marami
26:03.6
sa ating kaubayan, and perhaps that's the difference naman
26:05.6
with the US, because at least
26:07.6
dito, at sa ibang mansa,
26:09.6
mahilig magbasa ang tao. I know it.
26:11.6
I mean, I had many book talks here,
26:13.6
I had many conversations here, base
26:15.6
sa mga libro natin. Last time I
26:17.6
checked, I practically had zero book
26:19.6
talks in the Philippines. Like yung
26:21.6
book natin sa About Duterte,
26:25.6
I had book talk about it in Stanford,
26:27.6
I had book talk about it here in Washington, D.C.,
26:29.6
ah, I had book talk about
26:31.6
it in Europe, I had book talk about it
26:33.6
in Thailand, I had book talk about it all around
26:35.6
the world, pero hindi sa Pilipinas. I mean,
26:37.6
I'm not saying there's no book talk in the Philippines,
26:39.6
but, but to be honest,
26:41.6
maraming beses napansin natin,
26:43.6
umayas na kayo, huwag kayong mag-troll,
26:45.6
ibablock ko kayo. Maraming beses
26:47.6
napansin natin, um,
26:49.6
guys naman, behave kayo, okay? This is a serious
26:51.6
conversation, and you're just trying papansin lang kayo
26:53.6
dyan, umayas kayo dyan. Buti nga yung mga sa TikTok
26:55.6
behave ngayon, eh. Umayas
26:57.6
kayo, ah, mablock ko kayo. Para kayong mga
26:59.6
magulong bata sa classroom.
27:01.6
May sasabihin nung teacher nyo, okay?
27:05.6
And then, going back to this, guys.
27:09.6
Yun nga eh. I'll just
27:11.6
be very honest, guys. Walang
27:13.6
masyadong nagbabasa ng libro, walang masyadong
27:15.6
nagbabasa ng mga articles.
27:17.6
So, at hindi gets ng
27:19.6
tao, napakahirap magsulat ng mga tinong
27:21.6
column or essay article.
27:23.6
Napakahirap, guys. Napakahirap.
27:25.6
At sobrang mas mahirap magsulat ng mga
27:31.6
be mayabang about it, writing
27:33.6
columns or essays sa isang
27:37.6
reputable publications
27:39.6
is not easy at all.
27:41.6
And to do a hundred of that,
27:43.6
a thousand of that, thousands of that,
27:45.6
it's not easy at all.
27:47.6
Writing a book, not just for any
27:49.6
publisher, for a, in my case,
27:51.6
for Palgrave Macmillan, for instance,
27:53.6
or some of the international academic publishers,
27:55.6
hindi po madal yan. It takes a
27:57.6
lot of your energy, right?
27:59.6
A lot of my, you know,
28:01.6
energies in my 20s and early 30s
28:03.6
went into writing these books, guys.
28:05.6
Alright? Yung eyebags na nagkikita nyo
28:07.6
and all of that. A lot of that is because
28:09.6
overnight, I mean, there were times na magsusulat ka
28:13.6
and then sa sobrang stress mo,
28:15.6
hindi ka makatulog. So, kakain ka pa sa morning,
28:17.6
which is not a healthy way of doing it. So, kaya nga,
28:19.6
I became conscious about my diet,
28:21.6
naging intermittent na lang ako. I only eat twice a day.
28:23.6
Kahapon nga, I just had lunch
28:25.6
and breakfast. That's it. I didn't eat the whole day.
28:27.6
Nag-late lunch lang ako.
28:29.6
Nag-breakfast ako ng 9 am.
28:31.6
Just some cheese and bagels
28:33.6
and all of that. And then I did my pasta
28:35.6
and all of that at 2 pm.
28:37.6
Hindi, sinasabi ko yan kasi sa usapan, glutathione.
28:39.6
And hindi na ako kumain until
28:41.6
now. Hindi pa ako kumain. Hindi pa ako nag-breakfast.
28:45.6
my point is, you're sacrificing
28:47.6
a lot. You're investing a lot
28:49.6
to write these things and all of that. So, minsan nakakalungkot
28:51.6
when you realize,
28:57.6
privileged na marami sa inyo
28:59.6
you know, get to watch
29:03.6
get to, you know, hear about
29:05.6
what we do or nakita niyo sa media,
29:07.6
international media. I understand that.
29:09.6
But I hope people understand.
29:11.6
Napakahirap mong sulat.
29:15.6
difficult. Especially kung
29:17.6
yung mga topics mo is not the happiest
29:19.6
topics. Hindi ka naman nag-vlog about the latest
29:21.6
I don't know, Gucci or
29:23.6
Dolce & Gabbana or whatever. Hindi ka naman nag-vlog
29:25.6
about, I mean, maybe one day I'll do that. But you're
29:27.6
not blogging about the latest, I don't know, BMW
29:29.6
or something like that. No. You're blogging about
29:31.6
some very difficult conversations. So yung
29:33.6
isa sa columns ko recently was
29:35.6
about Navalny, right?
29:37.6
And I started with a quote from Senator Trillanes.
29:39.6
And then I talk about Ninoy.
29:41.6
I mean, it's difficult. These are emotionally
29:43.6
wrenching topics. You talk about Bukele,
29:45.6
you talk about Duterte, you know?
29:47.6
And this doesn't even involve some of my other articles
29:49.6
around the world when I write about U.S., China
29:51.6
competition, peace and war
29:53.6
questions, which are very stressful topics.
29:55.6
And imagine how much research you have to
29:57.6
put into it to make sure na it's
29:59.6
constantly updated, it's unique,
30:01.6
it can stand the scrutiny of time,
30:03.6
scrutiny of expertise. Kaapon nga after
30:05.6
talk natin dito sa Atlantic Council, you had
30:09.6
ex-ambassadors coming to me and saying,
30:11.6
Richard, it's lovely to finally
30:13.6
meet you in person. You know, I've been
30:15.6
quoting your works, I've been writing
30:17.6
stuff based on your works. You know,
30:19.6
nakakataba ng puso yan. But at the same time,
30:21.6
you realize back home,
30:23.6
I'm not sure how many people really pay attention
30:27.6
methodical, conscientious
30:29.6
writing based on research and evidence and all like that.
30:31.6
So, that means, to be honest,
30:33.6
to get the message out is
30:35.6
really vlogs, right?
30:37.6
And as much as vlogs is concerned,
30:41.6
swerte yan din yan. Ma-viral ka ba?
30:43.6
Tamang oras pa ba?
30:45.6
Feeling ko, hindi ata tamang oras lang kasi
30:47.6
may kasabay ata tayo mga ibang vloggers na ganitong
30:49.6
oras din sila. So, you're
30:51.6
competing pa with other people.
30:53.6
And then, minsan, dito sa social
30:55.6
media, labanan na ito ng clickbait.
30:57.6
Pa, you know, pa,
30:59.6
megaphone, diba? Palakihan ng
31:03.6
ng titles, mga ganun.
31:07.6
You know, it's really hard.
31:09.6
It's really hard. Kasi ano yan eh,
31:13.6
parang nilalagay ka sa
31:15.6
palenge, and regardless of kung
31:17.6
sinong magaling hindi, oh,
31:19.6
mag-iingay kayo. Sinong pinaka ma-iingay, yun
31:21.6
nalang pansinin nyo, diba? So,
31:25.6
as I said, if this is the way,
31:27.6
then this is the way, and you have to
31:29.6
directly deal with it accordingly. You know,
31:31.6
yesterday while I was walking around,
31:33.6
I do this a lot, you know. So,
31:35.6
I'm walking around, I'm going,
31:37.6
I'm seeing the US Congress here,
31:39.6
I'm seeing the museums here, I'm seeing all the symbols
31:41.6
of democracy here. Pero ang pinapakinggan ko
31:43.6
sa podcast is Russia.
31:45.6
Is Navalny, right?
31:47.6
And how, in the case of
31:49.6
Navalny, for instance, nag-aral siya ng
31:51.6
one year. Nag-fellowship siya
31:53.6
sa Yale Law School.
31:55.6
And he learned a lot
31:57.6
about American democracy and all of that. So, I was
31:59.6
listening to all of these things from
32:03.6
Dostoevsky to Tolstoy
32:05.6
to Navalny, you know, all the struggles
32:07.6
that, you know, Russian intelligentsia
32:09.6
and liberals and modernists had to go through the past
32:11.6
200 years or so, right?
32:15.6
I was wondering, kumpara
32:17.6
naman sa mga ganitong bansa na yan,
32:19.6
our situation in the Philippines is not as bad.
32:21.6
It's not as bad. But at the same time,
32:23.6
we have to understand, we're not gonna have
32:25.6
a better democracy until we fight for it,
32:27.6
right? And until we
32:29.6
also accept. And this is
32:31.6
one thing I always appreciate about Navalny.
32:33.6
God bless his soul.
32:35.6
His argument was,
32:39.6
we cannot afford to be hopeless,
32:41.6
right? Because the moment you give up
32:43.6
hope, you give up that chance,
32:45.6
that little chance you have for a better country,
32:47.6
for a better future. Now,
32:49.6
I'm not saying na huwag kayo mag-abroad.
32:51.6
Yung mga iba sa inyo,
32:53.6
gusto mag-migrate, etc. Alam ko yan.
32:55.6
Ang dami kong kaibigan
32:57.6
based abroad. But alam ko,
32:59.6
deep inside, they still care about the Philippines.
33:01.6
And some of them, you don't even have to go deep
33:03.6
inside. You know that they care about the Philippines
33:05.6
because they're constantly. In fact, isi sa mga
33:09.6
pansin ko, ang taas ng rankings natin,
33:11.6
yung podcast natin. Kanina, nacheck ko, nasa top
33:13.6
political podcast
33:15.6
tayo. Even sa Italy.
33:17.6
Pumasok na tayo sa Italy. So, sa
33:19.6
Singapore, sa Italy. So, all around the world,
33:21.6
nagta-top 50-100 tayo dun sa mga
33:23.6
political news podcast nila
33:25.6
because of, I mean,
33:27.6
I'm sure. Hindi naman ako nag-feeling.
33:29.6
I think ito yung mga kababayan natin
33:31.6
na nasa ibang mansa. Sa Italia,
33:33.6
sa Inglaterra, sa
33:35.6
Francia, sa Australia,
33:39.6
bansa. At nakikinig sila sa atin.
33:41.6
Nakikinig sila sa sinasabi natin. Nakikinig sila sa
33:43.6
mga guests natin. Nakikinig sila
33:45.6
dun sa mga issue ng pinag-usapan natin. They're trying
33:47.6
to keep in touch with the country because they care about their country.
33:49.6
They love their country. They may have another citizenship.
33:51.6
They may have moved on, become European, American,
33:53.6
whatever. But, enough today. Pilipino pa rin sila.
33:55.6
So, ang sinasabi ko guys,
33:57.6
ito, is that you have
34:03.6
you won't get the
34:05.6
change that we deserve as Filipinos.
34:07.6
Kaya, inis na inis ako dito sa
34:09.6
statement na. Sorry ah, medyo
34:11.6
all over the place tayo ngayon. But, I just wanna
34:13.6
have a real talk here. Honest conversation
34:15.6
here. Kasi, feeling ko
34:17.6
a lot of times, I'm holding back because
34:19.6
you know, I don't wanna hurt people's feelings.
34:21.6
I felt I already said too many things.
34:23.6
I don't wanna come off wrong. But,
34:25.6
I mean, you know, when you have long
34:27.6
walks, you have 10, 20 kilometers
34:29.6
of walks and you're reflecting
34:31.6
on history. You're listening to
34:35.6
and Torgenev and all of that. Of
34:37.6
Navalny and what's happening in the US.
34:39.6
You know, you're gonna say,
34:41.6
you know, let's be honest about this, you know.
34:47.6
Mga italyana tayo, mga kaibigan nandito,
34:49.6
mga kababayan natin from Italy. Buongiorno, buongiorno.
34:59.6
matters, guys. The mindset really matters.
35:01.6
If the mindset is,
35:03.6
let's just hope that some matinong
35:05.6
politician wins every 3-4 years and
35:07.6
then maybe things will be better,
35:09.6
wala talagang mangyari sa bansa natin. Good luck
35:11.6
sa atin. Hopeless case talaga tayo in that case.
35:13.6
You're just setting yourself up for
35:15.6
disappointment, right?
35:17.6
But if your mindset is,
35:21.6
right? Alam mo yung mga marathon
35:25.6
It's about gradual
35:27.6
improvements, diba? It's about doing
35:29.6
that marathon run and then
35:31.6
every month or every run,
35:33.6
you're .1 second better.
35:35.6
You're 1 second better. You're 2 seconds
35:37.6
better. Sometimes 1 minute or
35:39.6
several minutes better after several
35:45.6
pag-intindi natin sa politika. This is like
35:47.6
a marathon. This is a constant struggle
35:49.6
to push the Philippines
35:51.6
in the right direction. And there are gonna be
35:53.6
disappointments. Just like for marathon
35:55.6
runners, sometimes there's gonna be time
35:57.6
na suddenly mas maganda yung time nila
35:59.6
pala dati. Bumaba pa yung
36:01.6
ranking nila. Then you fight back and
36:03.6
you push it forward. Dapat ganito yung mindset.
36:05.6
Once you embrace the nature
36:07.6
of political change as a marathon,
36:11.6
in fact, I will say this. It's
36:13.6
not only marathon. It's Olympics.
36:15.6
Because pagdating sa politika, you have
36:17.6
to know many things. You have to be good in communications,
36:21.6
projection, policy,
36:23.6
everything. So it's like Olympics. Hindi lang pwede
36:25.6
magaling na tumakbo ka. Dapat magaling
36:27.6
ka sa many things. So going back to this, guys,
36:31.6
we have to have that kind of right mindset.
36:35.6
ladies and gentlemen, sets up
36:37.6
the premise for our conversation today.
36:39.6
Okay. So after 1 hour,
36:41.6
40 minutes, by the way. After 40
36:43.6
minutes, ito na. Pag-usapan na natin ito.
36:45.6
So, everything I've been saying
36:47.6
over the past 40 minutes is to set
36:51.6
the conversation we're gonna have today. Because
36:55.6
Nag-annuncio na ang opposition
36:57.6
na mag-file na sila.
37:01.6
na sila ng at least
37:09.6
Why? Because for me,
37:13.6
first of all, this goes along the
37:15.6
line of what I said. Mahalaga na
37:17.6
opposition is part of this conversation.
37:21.6
popcorn-popcorn lang tayo.
37:25.6
just waiting to get lucky.
37:27.6
Ano yung music na yan, waiting to get lucky? Hindi pwede
37:31.6
to fight for it. No matter
37:35.6
But speaking of odds,
37:37.6
actually the odds are not too bad.
37:41.6
so ang announcement ngayon is tatakbo
37:43.6
for Senate at least
37:45.6
3 individuals associated with
37:49.6
3 very accomplished individuals.
37:51.6
3 very smart individuals. Now, having said that,
37:53.6
I may have some agreements
37:55.6
or disagreement with one of them or two of them
37:57.6
or whatever. As you may have noticed,
37:59.6
you may remember guys,
38:01.6
actually na-interview natin si attorney
38:07.6
Of course, we interviewed him dun sa movie niya Gumburza.
38:09.6
But si Dean Jokno,
38:11.6
we had a conversation
38:13.6
with him during his elections in 2022.
38:15.6
And he is a person
38:19.6
really, really embodies.
38:25.6
that a Filipino can have. Right?
38:27.6
Yung kanyang conviction sa buhay.
38:29.6
Yung kanyang talino.
38:31.6
Yung kanyang humility.
38:33.6
Humility. I'll tell you what.
38:35.6
I know that humility is not my number
38:39.6
Or at least shallow understanding of humility.
38:41.6
Because if you're really, really humble,
38:43.6
you're willing to expose yourself to criticism.
38:45.6
But anyway, let's not get there.
38:49.6
eto si attorney Jokno talagang grabe.
38:51.6
He's really genuinely
38:55.6
And you can see, he's there to learn.
38:57.6
He's there to serve.
38:59.6
He's there to help.
39:01.6
Malaking bagay na sa walaking.
39:03.6
So, despite the fact na twice natalo siya.
39:05.6
He didn't do too bad.
39:07.6
Especially sa first one.
39:09.6
Considering from what level he was starting.
39:11.6
I think this is something brave.
39:15.6
Ayan na yung mga trolls natin dyan.
39:19.6
yung mga pinagtatawan ninyo yung opposition.
39:23.6
mukhang hindi rin mananalo yung ang kandidato nyo.
39:25.6
So, mukhang masyadong mayabang dyan.
39:29.6
And then of course, you have Bah Makino.
39:31.6
Who has a record of
39:33.6
beating Marcos Junior in 2016.
39:35.6
And then in 2022,
39:37.6
even if super late sila nagsimula.
39:39.6
At least, sila rin nag first runner up.
39:41.6
And she was able to get
39:45.6
against the UNI team.
39:49.6
had UNI team not been unified,
39:51.6
if Dutertes and Marcos,
39:53.6
kung hindi sila sumama, who knows?
39:55.6
Maybe the race would have been completely different.
39:57.6
Maybe it would have been completely competitive.
39:59.6
Ibang usapan na yung my SD cards and all.
40:01.6
Okay, I'm not gonna go into that.
40:03.6
But just on this issue.
40:05.6
Just on this issue.
40:07.6
If you look at Bah Makino, he's someone who's not only
40:09.6
a former senator.
40:11.6
But he's someone who actually has an experience
40:13.6
of running very, very high profile campaigns.
40:15.6
Very high profile campaigns.
40:19.6
personally, I had no interaction
40:21.6
with Bah Makino, like, ever.
40:25.6
Now, baka naman, baka nainis sila sakin
40:27.6
for everything I said and all of that during the...
40:29.6
But, in fairness, from
40:31.6
people that I know,
40:33.6
from academics that I respect,
40:35.6
na nakausap nila si
40:37.6
Bah Makino, I've been reassured
40:39.6
by them that actually, Bah Makino
40:41.6
is someone who's very
40:43.6
perceptive, he's very reflexive,
40:45.6
and who's someone
40:47.6
who's fundamentally willing
40:49.6
to learn from the past,
40:51.6
both good and bad, and move forward
40:53.6
in the best way possible. And he looks like someone
40:55.6
who has the kind of mental resilience
40:59.6
right, to deal with the difficulties
41:01.6
that opposition candidates face in a country like the Philippines.
41:03.6
Right? Not to mention,
41:05.6
ang dami niyang mga accomplishments as a human being.
41:09.6
As a social entrepreneur,
41:11.6
bilang estudyante,
41:13.6
napakagaling na estudyante ito sa Ateneo,
41:17.6
dami niyang awards all around the world,
41:21.6
of course, you have the former
41:23.6
opposition leader,
41:27.6
vice-presidential candidate,
41:29.6
Senator Kiko Pangilinan,
41:31.6
who has, there's no need
41:33.6
even for introduction when it comes to him.
41:35.6
Interestingly, actually,
41:37.6
I don't, the only time,
41:41.6
na I got the chance to meet him properly
41:43.6
was nung sa Taiwan na ho
41:45.6
last September. And actually,
41:47.6
I was surprised. I mean, in fairness,
41:51.6
Matangkat pala siya.
41:53.6
And, I mean, relatively matangkat siya.
41:59.6
I didn't see any swagger. I saw
42:01.6
a lot of dignity.
42:03.6
And I think, he didn't say much,
42:05.6
but from my understanding,
42:07.6
is that he had some deep
42:09.6
thinking and soul-searching and etc.
42:11.6
after the elections in 2022.
42:13.6
Now, if you look at the
42:15.6
surveys na pinag-usapan natin,
42:17.6
these are surveys from two to three months ago,
42:19.6
actually, at least two
42:21.6
out of these three candidates have a very good chance
42:25.6
very competitive. I'm not saying
42:27.6
that, mahirap talaga tong Senate race
42:29.6
ngayon, kasi ang daming re-electionists,
42:31.6
ang daming mga pro-tatay,
42:33.6
ang daming rin magiging bet ng
42:35.6
gobyerno, administrasyon.
42:39.6
sobrang tight tong competition na to.
42:41.6
But, in fairness,
42:43.6
based on some of the numbers we saw,
42:45.6
some of them, especially Bam Aquino,
42:47.6
is pretty competitive. Right? Pretty competitive.
42:51.6
for me, another reason
42:57.6
relatively cautiously
42:59.6
optimistic about the trajectory,
43:01.6
when I say trajectory, I'm saying that
43:03.6
we're not sure kong nanalo, but to be
43:05.6
cautiously optimistic about the trajectory
43:07.6
at least, is that
43:09.6
you have right now in the Liberal Party
43:13.6
Leila de Lima. And interestingly,
43:15.6
Leila de Lima is now the spokesperson
43:17.6
of the Liberal Party, and she's the one
43:19.6
who made the announcement.
43:21.6
At base sa kanya,
43:23.6
they intend to be opposition
43:25.6
candidates. Senator Kiko is surely an LP
43:27.6
candidate. Senator Bam and Dil Jen are not
43:29.6
officially LP members. So, this is a joint
43:31.6
ticket of the opposition, not LP.
43:33.6
And for me, de Lima
43:37.6
right, says something.
43:39.6
Right? Because, pagdating
43:43.6
pagdating sa political conviction and all of that,
43:45.6
I mean, pagdating sa trials,
43:47.6
I mean, if you look at it, the
43:49.6
things that Leila de Lima had to go through, my
43:51.6
goodness, no? And yet, coming
43:53.6
out, coming out strong, and coming
43:55.6
out fighting for the opposition,
43:57.6
I mean, that's quite something, right? And I think just
43:59.6
her presence there will give
44:01.6
tremendous amount of
44:05.6
to the opposition candidates in
44:07.6
what is looking like a gonna
44:09.6
be very, very, very difficult
44:13.6
next year, to be honest about it.
44:15.6
So, just to give you a little background, so
44:17.6
si Pangilinan was actually
44:19.6
a senator from 2001 to 2030 and
44:21.6
2016 to 2022, so already has
44:23.6
two terms, 12 years experience, thousand years.
44:25.6
Aquino, si Bam Aquino
44:27.6
was senator from 2013 to 2019.
44:31.6
2019 at, he was at 14th
44:33.6
place, so just outside
44:35.6
the magic 12. Si Jokno naman,
44:39.6
and actually improved it, sorry, he improved
44:41.6
from 21st in 2019 to
44:43.6
19th in 2022. So the
44:45.6
hope is to keep on pushing it, although
44:47.6
again, to be realistic about it, I think
44:49.6
the race is much more difficult this time.
44:51.6
Again, I'm hearing people talk about
44:53.6
Vico Soto and all of that. My understanding
44:55.6
is Vico Soto wants to finish his
44:57.6
three terms as mayor of
44:59.6
Apacig, and then once he's
45:01.6
done with that, he will
45:03.6
still not be 40, right? So
45:05.6
it's too early to talk about him as a presidential
45:07.6
candidate, but let's see where things go from there.
45:09.6
Yeah, masyadong maagay kay Vico Soto, right?
45:11.6
And I hope we don't
45:13.6
fall into this tendency again of pinning
45:15.6
all our hopes on one individual or two
45:17.6
because you're just setting yourself up for this
45:19.6
disappointment, alright? May sariling
45:21.6
pag-iisip ang tao na yan, may sarili siyang
45:23.6
mga plano sa buhay, hayaan lang
45:25.6
natin siya, okay?
45:27.6
And let's just hope that Vico Soto is
45:29.6
just one out of many, many other
45:33.6
LGU leaders. Kaya nga, na-interview
45:37.6
others, for instance, si Mayor Benji Magalong
45:39.6
who I think would be an interesting
45:41.6
not opposition, not
45:43.6
administration, very center, but
45:45.6
good center. I think Benji Magalong
45:47.6
is someone also very interesting to keep in mind.
45:49.6
In the coming years, as
45:51.6
conversations about presidential and vice
45:53.6
presidential candidates come into picture,
45:55.6
I think as a senator also he has a pretty
45:57.6
good chance if he wants to go for that. So,
46:01.6
the idea here, as I said, Mahometa,
46:03.6
is you have to at least fight the good fight.
46:05.6
There might be some chance
46:07.6
there because I think one or two of them at least is
46:09.6
competitive. Jokno
46:11.6
has an upward trajectory. BAM, I think,
46:13.6
can do well if they learn their
46:15.6
lessons. Again, it's gonna be super hard
46:17.6
to get in. But as I said, kailangan
46:19.6
na may opposition dyan kasi so far
46:21.6
ang nandyan lang na tunay na opposition
46:23.6
ay si Riza Ontiveros.
46:25.6
Si Riza Ontiveros lang talaga yung
46:27.6
opposition dyan sa Senado.
46:29.6
So, hindi naman pwede na mag
46:31.6
lone dissenting voice forever
46:33.6
na lang si Riza until
46:35.6
2028. And then, of course, we can
46:37.6
talk about Riza as a potential also presidential
46:39.6
candidate or vice presidential candidate. But,
46:41.6
you know, speaking of all of these things,
46:45.6
sorry, I'm just checking
46:47.6
itong meeting ko.
46:51.6
They need to fight for this because they
46:53.6
have to have a seat at the
46:57.6
pwede na umasa ka lang na bigyan ka ng
46:59.6
position ni BBM which
47:01.6
has its own questions.
47:03.6
Hindi pwede umasa na informal ka lang.
47:05.6
Hindi pwede umasa na pasikreto.
47:07.6
Hindi pwede ganito eh.
47:09.6
You have to fight for the positions yourself.
47:11.6
Iba talaga kung may
47:13.6
position ka dyan sa Senado. Iba talaga kung
47:15.6
Senador ka mismo. Or iba talaga kung
47:17.6
you came very close to winning.
47:19.6
That position, right? So,
47:21.6
let's see where these things go. But,
47:23.6
what I noticed over the past few
47:25.6
days is, rise of Riza
47:27.6
Duterte. Ay, Riza Duterte.
47:29.6
Ayan. Pagod. Gutom na ako.
47:33.6
Kasi iniisip ko na naman si Riza.
47:37.6
hindi pa rin, ano, naiisip ko pa rin si ano eh.
47:41.6
Duterte. Yung kanyang speech. Parang
47:43.6
bait-bait ni Sara Duterte, no?
47:45.6
Bait-bait na yun sa mga speech niya.
47:47.6
Ganyan-ganyan. Okay. Alright.
47:49.6
Tuloy naging Riza Duterte. Hindi, yung
47:51.6
rise ni Riza Ontiveros as really
47:53.6
itong matapang na palaban na
47:55.6
Senador. Speaking of
47:57.6
Kibuloy, of course. You know, I don't wanna talk about Kibuloy
47:59.6
anymore kasi nakadalawang vlogs na tayo back to back
48:01.6
kay Kibuloy. Baka lalong
48:03.6
ano, huwag na natin i-overdue yan.
48:07.6
yeah. Gutom na ako. Actually, you can see na
48:09.6
wala na ako energy. Last meal I had was more than
48:11.6
24 hours ago. Okay.
48:15.6
yeah. Wala na. Sabaw na.
48:19.6
Wala na energy. No, I need to eat na.
48:25.6
So, let's see. Let's see. I mean,
48:27.6
over the past few days, you're seeing
48:29.6
rise of Riza and at the same, you're seeing
48:31.6
all of these announcements about
48:33.6
the opposition will go for
48:35.6
gold or at least silver
48:37.6
in the Senate. And
48:39.6
I think we should wait for also other announcements.
48:41.6
I think there would be also very interesting announcements
48:43.6
soon. Probably also the more other progressive
48:45.6
side will make announcements. Maybe there will be
48:47.6
conversations about a full slate. There will be
48:49.6
conversation about cross intersectional
48:51.6
slates. There will be conversations about
48:53.6
um, coalition building among others.
48:57.6
there will be conversations about, yan, yung favorite
48:59.6
ni Margarita. Ah, hindi pala
49:01.6
si Margarita. Si Doña pala. Gusto ni
49:03.6
Doña. Harry Roque daw. Ito si Doña kanina pa
49:05.6
nagtitroll yan. Gusto niya si Harry
49:07.6
Roque daw to mark before Senate. Isa pa,
49:09.6
dagdagan natin para interesting ang conversation.
49:11.6
On that note, thank you very much mga kameta.
49:13.6
Um, I hope you have a lovely
49:17.6
artistine si Sarah
49:21.6
Okay. I hope you guys have a
49:23.6
lovely day and I hope to catch up
49:25.6
with you guys soon. Um, tomorrow
49:27.6
morning your time
49:29.6
kasi evening my time later on. We're
49:31.6
hoping to also have a proper conversation
49:33.6
on West Philippine Sea,
49:35.6
AFP modernization,
49:39.6
warships, etc. with someone who really knows
49:41.6
this stuff. So, Admiral Ong.
49:43.6
Hopefully with Admiral Ong, we are gonna
49:45.6
have a detailed conversation. We have
49:47.6
some conversation with Senator Trillanes on
49:49.6
that, but we wanna have really a
49:51.6
operational, technical discussion also about
49:53.6
AFP modernization that I hope you guys
49:55.6
will appreciate. Speaking of,
49:57.6
yes, Margarita. Speaking of Senator Trillanes,
49:59.6
I was just messaging
50:03.6
the other day na we hope to have
50:05.6
also more of Senator Trillanes
50:07.6
in our conversation soon. Siguro
50:09.6
gawa rin tayo na version natin ng R&R
50:11.6
with uh, Sony naman. R&S.
50:15.6
Okay. Okay yan ah.
50:19.6
Sonny and Richard.
50:21.6
Sonny and Ricardo. Alright. So, you know,
50:25.6
Let's do an S&R with Sonny
50:33.6
Ronaldo, Ricardo,
50:35.6
Sonny. Alright. Pero S&R,
50:37.6
parang ganda na S&R. S&R.
50:39.6
Sonny and Ricardo. Alright.
50:41.6
Hopefully we'll have more of that. As I said,
50:43.6
you know, I'm not into
50:45.6
you know, my podcasts are not really
50:49.6
they're more conversations. So I'd rather
50:51.6
have them as my de facto
50:53.6
co-hosts than my guests.
50:55.6
So yeah. So hopefully we'll
50:59.6
Trillanes only as a guest. We'll also
51:01.6
hopefully have him as a semi-co-host.
51:03.6
Uh, you know, as we pick up
51:05.6
this conversation and all. Because I think in terms of
51:07.6
understanding of where the opposition should go,
51:09.6
the mistakes, the shortcomings, the
51:11.6
strengths, the green shoots,
51:13.6
I think medyo malaki yung
51:15.6
um, overlap natin with uh,
51:17.6
Sonny. So let's look at S&R.
51:19.6
Uh, another prospect. And speaking of R&R,
51:21.6
hopefully we can also arrange with that. Kasi
51:23.6
si Ronald kasi ano eh,
51:25.6
crush ng bahayan ngayon. Sobrang
51:31.6
Hindi ko na siya ma-reach eh. Mahirap na siyang
51:33.6
ano eh. Isang araw
51:35.6
nga eh nag-message ako kay
51:37.6
kay Sir Ronald. Sabi ko,
51:39.6
Ronald Aldens Richards.
51:41.6
Pwede ka ba sa ganitong araw?
51:43.6
Sabi niya. Sige, tanungin ko yung
51:47.6
Secretary ko. Ganyan na ang
51:49.6
level niya, diba? Inanan na tayo eh.
51:53.6
nasa linya na tayo ngayon, diba?
51:55.6
Maraming, ano na siya, regular
51:57.6
na siya ngayon sa iba't ibang lugar. Kaya sabi ko,
51:59.6
magpasalamat siya sa amin ni Christian, diba?
52:01.6
Nakita yung kagalingan niya.
52:03.6
Kasi sobrang co-host and regular na siya
52:05.6
sa amin dalawa. So, kitang-kita
52:07.6
ng mga ibang media friends natin,
52:09.6
gaano kagalingan to si Ronald. So,
52:11.6
if we have R&R, hopefully,
52:13.6
ang target natin next is
52:15.6
S&R naman with Sir Sonny.
52:17.6
Kasi I think it's a good dynamic.
52:19.6
I like my conversation with Sonny.
52:21.6
Kasi pansin niyo, guys. Iba yung dynamics,
52:23.6
diba? Pagkasama ko si Ronald,
52:25.6
ayan, nagpapatawa kami pero seryoso
52:27.6
at the same time. With Sir
52:29.6
Sonny, ano kami eh? Bukot kami,
52:31.6
mga ano eh, medyo.
52:33.6
So, gusto ko rin yung dynamic
52:35.6
na yan. So, it's nice. It's good. And then,
52:37.6
of course, pagkasama naman natin si
52:39.6
si Leloy, medyo dynamic natin.
52:41.6
Mga ilustrado, diba?
52:43.6
Mga ganyan. And then, of course, with si Mark
52:45.6
Gamboa, iba na naman yung dynamic natin.
52:47.6
Diyan. Alright. On that note, thank you
52:49.6
very much, mga kamenta. Parang
52:51.6
pumapayat tayo dito kasi
52:53.6
hindi tayo kumakaya na mas nasarap na food na
52:55.6
miss ko tuloy mga pagkain natin sa Asia.
52:57.6
Ang dali pala pumayat sa ano, no?
52:59.6
Pag hindi ka na sa Asia and
53:03.6
Hindi, I mean, good naman ako dito.
53:07.6
pag nasa Pilipinas ako, sa Asia
53:09.6
ako or something like that, atas ang appetite ko, diba?
53:11.6
Ang lakas ang appetite ko kumain. Lalo
53:13.6
yung rice natin, no?
53:15.6
Dito wala eh. Kaya madali pumayat. Okay.
53:17.6
Anyway, on that note,
53:19.6
push lang natin. I-push lang
53:21.6
natin yung SNR na yan. Okay?
53:23.6
Ayan. Magpa-public clamor na tayo.
53:25.6
I think there should be a public clamor. Okay.
53:27.6
Naman, imemessage ko sila.
53:31.6
Sabi ko, mamaya, i-SNR natin. Oo.
53:33.6
Walang unli rice dito, guys.
53:35.6
May unli bread. Kaya
53:37.6
nag-Italian. Unli bread ako kapang
53:39.6
tuloy nag-guilty ako. Ang dami akong lakad, lakad,
53:41.6
lakad. La quacha, la quacha, la mierda,
53:43.6
la mierda. Alright. Speaking of la quacha,
53:49.6
Yes to sports, no to gluta.
53:51.6
Alright? Huwag niyo sobrang yung gluta
53:53.6
na yan. Kasi guys,
53:55.6
kasi guys, ang kagandahan
53:57.6
ay hindi lang sa loob. Ang
53:59.6
kagandahan rin ay nandun sa ating
54:05.6
skin tone. Alright? So, huwag
54:07.6
natin palitan yan. Okay?
54:09.6
Senyores, senyora,
54:13.6
Talk to you soon. Alright?
54:15.6
God bless. Talk to you soon.
54:17.6
Wala talaga energy. Talagang
54:19.6
gutom na gutom na tayo. Pero go pa rin.
54:23.6
ng ano ito. Ang dal-dal natin.
54:25.6
I hope na-appreciate nyo.
54:27.6
All over the place.
54:29.6
But I hope yun. Ito yung gluta talaga eh.
54:31.6
Mag-update pa ako sa gluta na yan.
54:33.6
Alright? Babalikan ko kayo. Salamat.
