Okay, ito, ito, ito. Pag-usapan naman natin ang opposition, baka sasabihin na naman, ito na naman si Ronald at Richard, nag-a-apply na naman sa Malacanang. Let's just be clear, it just happens, a certain person is in power. I don't know, weird twist of history.
00:14.1
But now, okay, pag-usapan natin ang opposition because, you know, Ronald, especially in my circles, academic circles, you always hear Philippines, weak state, strong society. You know, that's always what they say about Philippines, about India, among others. But correct me if I'm wrong, Ronald, one of the things we noticed during Duterte time is how we both have a weak state and sometimes even the strength of our civil society perhaps was exaggerated.
00:39.0
I mean, I don't know, you correct me, Ronald, but there were so many people who were supposedly progressive.
00:43.7
And then nung si Digong naging presidente, biglang, even after the purge of some people, andun pa rin sila, pro-Digong pa rin. Andaming, I'll put it honestly, andaming civil society people na lumabas na operator lang pala sila in the end, right?
00:58.7
Now, you get what I'm saying? The way they would, I mean, like, how can you claim you're an advocate for these rights and that, and then you completely turn a blind eye, if not apologize, for mass atrocities, crimes against humanity, right?
01:10.3
Andaming natin kilalang gano'n, hindi lang sa Manila.
01:12.5
Bati sa mga probinsya, huwag na natin pangalanan, itag na lang natin mamaya sa Facebook.
01:16.9
No, no, but, so actually, some part of me was wondering, do we really have a strong civil society?
01:22.0
Because, you know, it is okay to bring thousands of people when someone like BBM or Aquino who are not dictatorial, right?
01:29.2
Madali lang naman maglalagay.
01:30.6
But the real test of a strong civil society is when you have a very popular authoritarian populist leader, demagogue, can you bring them out?
01:39.2
In fairness, India has proven that they have a strong civil society.
01:42.8
They have a weak political opposition.
01:44.7
But remember yung ginawa nila a few years ago, yung mga farmers, they marched all the way to New Delhi, they occupied the outskirts of New Delhi, hundreds of thousands of them,
01:52.7
and eventually they forced Modi to revisit some of his major land acquisition policies, agricultural policies.
01:59.3
So, that's Modi na, a very, very astute, a very, very powerful, organized populist.
02:05.4
And I was always wondering, ba't walang ganyan sa Pilipinas?
02:08.1
Turkey, di ba?
02:09.2
Ardoan sila.
02:09.9
Ardoan almost lost.
02:11.1
The opposition came together.
02:12.8
They had a united slate.
02:15.2
Alam ko hindi na ako maimbita ulit.
02:17.5
But you see what I'm saying, right?
02:19.7
I really began to doubt itong weak state, strong society.
02:26.2
I think we have a weak state, weak civil society sometimes, and very strong men once in a while, right?
02:31.4
Who just damage the system.
02:33.0
So, ang tanong ko dito is, for instance, in Colombia, we saw the victims of Pablo Hernández.
02:39.2
Pablo Escobar, right?
02:40.3
They came out, they organized.
02:41.8
Well, some of them got also deadly, right?
02:43.8
They visited revenge on Pablo Escobar, nagkaroon ng civil war sa Medellin.
02:49.0
I'm not asking for that.
02:50.3
But what I'm curious about is, bakit hindi nagkaroon ng ganyan mobilization?
02:55.6
I mean, all due credit to Riza Ontiveros for being there, for Kean de los Santos' family,
03:01.6
for her coming out for victims of, or alleged victims of itong si self-proclaimed people.
03:07.6
But, ito nga.
03:09.2
So, aside from Riza, where's the warm bodies on the ground, civil society?
03:13.9
Why are we not hearing the stories of the victims, the parents of the victims, the children of the victims?
03:19.1
There are hundreds of thousands of them, potentially, right?
03:22.2
Kung 30,000, and each of them have four family members at least.
03:26.1
You're talking about huge numbers.
03:27.1
And for some reason, Ronald, it looks like umahasa pa rin tayo anong gagawin ni BBM.
03:31.7
Anong gagawin ni BBM?
03:32.6
Why?
03:33.7
Or kay Riza lang?
03:35.1
I mean, where are the rest?
03:36.3
Where is the civil society?
03:37.3
Shouldn't they come out now?
03:38.5
Shouldn't they bring out?
03:39.8
Essentially, make it, force it upon BBM to make the right decision on the ICC issue?
03:46.1
Well, we have a very strong, very dynamic civil society in the 80s and in the 90s.
03:54.0
Diba?
03:54.5
Nagkaroon tayo, no?
03:56.0
Ito yung mga, ito yung golden age of coalitions.
04:00.0
Thousands of NGOs, no?
04:03.1
Andaming advocacies, etc.
04:04.7
Ang problema ay nalatili siya in the ground.
04:08.5
Gram siya na ethos na natili siyang war opposition.
04:15.1
Diba?
04:15.4
Hindi siya na-consolidate at nag-complement into a war opposition inside the constructs of government.
04:26.4
Dapat nagko-complement siya, no?
04:27.9
War of motion, war of opposition, no?
04:30.2
Iyon yung naging problema.
04:31.3
When nag-decision itong dynamic civil society na ito na pumasok sa war,
04:38.5
war of position inside the state,
04:40.9
mga akwa na yan eh, turn of the century na yan.
04:43.2
Diba?
04:43.7
Kahit yung akbayan eh, na pumasok yan, 98, 99, diyan lang sila pumasok.
04:49.9
So, yung wellspring ng dynamism, yung wellspring ng organization,
04:59.2
nung 80s at saka 90s, no?
05:01.0
Ay pwede nag-e-eb na, no?
05:04.7
Before the new century entered,
05:08.0
nung nagpapasok,
05:08.5
nasa siya yung civil society to enter the state, no?
05:13.0
Iyon yung isa, no?
05:15.0
Ikalawa ay nakita natin yung perfect storm ng technology,
05:21.6
ng populism, no?
05:23.5
Ng disruption, no?
05:25.5
Nakita natin yan nitong panahon ni Digong, no?
05:29.6
Nakita natin yan.
05:31.4
May kaunting lumabas nung panahon ni Erap, no?
05:34.3
Panahon ni Erap.
05:35.5
Lumabas yan ulit nung panahon ni Pinoy to some extent.
05:38.5
Pero nakita natin yung pagragasan niyan nung panahon nung 2016 ni Digong.
05:45.2
At hindi ko masisi yung oposisyon at saka civil society
05:47.9
because at that time, civil society has been dramatically weakened.
05:52.5
Halos wala na mga NGOs.
05:54.2
Halos wala na mga koalisyons, no?
05:56.7
At yung oposisyon naman, as epitomized by the Liberal Party,
06:03.7
they don't know what hit them.
06:05.4
Hindi nila na-deconstructed.
06:08.5
Hindi nila na-analyze.
06:10.3
Hindi nila na-profile.
06:12.1
Yung itong mga populist leader na sumusulpot, no?
06:16.9
Not only around the world, but lalo na sa ating bansa.
06:19.5
I disagree, Ronald.
06:20.8
Di ba ang explanation sa lahat is disinformation?
06:24.2
Ba't kainipan ang jowa mo, disinformation?
06:26.7
Bakit hindi ka binoto ng election, disinformation?
06:29.3
Bakit nasaraan ng ano, disinformation?
06:30.8
Di ba? I mean, come on.
06:31.8
That's what they do.
06:32.6
Pero nung 2016, they were the ruling party.
06:37.2
No?
06:37.5
They were the ruling party.
06:38.5
So, hindi sila ganun kakwan.
06:40.6
At kung tutusin, diyan pala nagsisimula yung Cambridge Analytica, di ba?
06:45.2
Iyan yung panahon ng Cambridge Analytica, eh.
06:47.7
2016.
06:48.5
So, hindi pa siya ganun kasabog, eh.
06:51.2
Hindi pa na sumasabog, eh.
06:52.7
Nagsisimula pa lang siya.
06:54.6
Medyo nahuli.
06:56.1
Medyo nahuli, no?
06:57.5
Kaya, tapos, syempre, overconfident yung Liberal Party
07:00.9
dahil sila yung ruling party.
07:02.7
Hindi nila inasahan na tatamaan sila
07:04.9
nitong wave ng populism na ito.
07:06.6
Itong wave na, ah,
07:08.3
technology na ito.
07:09.8
At, ah, yung, ah,
07:12.1
hanggang, hanggang, ah,
07:14.6
hanggang, ah,
07:17.3
eve nung campaign period,
07:18.9
nung official campaign period,
07:20.5
ang tingin ng Liberal Party kay Digong,
07:22.3
an asset na pwede nilang gamitin, no?
07:26.1
Para humina si Binay.
07:28.7
No?
07:29.2
And to some extent, si Grace po.
07:31.7
Nalang yung appreciation nila kay Digong.
07:33.2
Hindi nila nakita si Digong as the primary threat.
07:36.4
No?
07:36.9
Hindi nila nakita na itong,
07:38.3
itong bastion of populism.
07:40.7
At that point, no?
07:42.0
Ay isang threat.
07:43.5
No?
07:43.8
Ang tingin nila kay Digong,
07:45.3
well, nandyan siya,
07:46.4
popular siya,
07:47.1
pero not enough to win.
07:49.2
At makakatulong siya,
07:50.9
at makakatulong siya para ma-weaken
07:52.8
yung primary threat,
07:54.3
which is Binay.
07:55.8
At ikalawa, si Grace po.
07:57.6
So, yun yung, yun yung nangyari.
07:59.5
No?
07:59.9
Yun yung nangyari.
08:01.4
At nung nangyari yung 2019,
08:03.6
nasa height na si Digong
08:04.7
ng kanyang popularity.
08:07.0
91, 92%.
08:08.3
Approval rating.
08:09.7
That was 2019.
08:11.3
2020.
08:12.7
Kaya hindi nakakagulat na na-zero
08:14.5
yung, yung oposisyon.
08:16.6
At hindi lang yun.
08:18.0
Hindi nakapag-adjust yung, yung oposisyon
08:20.1
into a new political narrative.
08:22.2
Consistent,
08:23.3
consistent with the time of populism,
08:26.0
of disinformation.
08:27.3
No?
08:27.6
Nalatili silang biktima eh.
08:29.7
No?
08:30.0
Tama ka.
08:31.0
Pwede hindi nila napansin niya nung 2016
08:33.3
dahil sila nga yung ruling party.
08:35.6
Pero 2019,
08:36.4
dapat nakapag-adjust ka na.
08:37.9
Dapat nakita mo na what hit you eh.
08:40.4
Diba?
08:41.1
Pero hindi pa rin.
08:42.2
Kung nakita mo yung campaign
08:43.4
ng 8 Diretso ng 2019,
08:45.8
walang ganun eh.
08:47.0
Walang ganun.
08:48.3
At go, at fast forward sa 2022,
08:51.2
medyo may kaunting adjustment na.
08:55.1
Nakikita mo sa laki ng mga rally,
08:57.2
nakikita mo sa kulay ng kampanya,
09:01.3
pero medyo cluttered pa rin yung messaging.
09:04.7
No?
09:05.1
Kumpara sa focus messaging
09:07.2
ni BBM at saka ni Duterte.
09:09.4
No?
09:09.9
Pero may kaunting adjustment.
09:11.8
But not enough.
09:13.2
Not enough.
09:14.0
Tapos ngayon,
09:15.1
nitong past two years,
09:16.7
ni BBM,
09:18.4
parang natahimik na naman
09:20.1
at least yung traditional opposition.
09:22.8
Naiwan si Risa na nag-iingay,
09:25.4
but all the others,
09:26.5
hindi lamang lumiit.
09:29.1
Tumahimik.
09:30.3
Tumahimik.
09:31.5
Halimbawa,
09:32.6
Liberal Party.
09:33.9
No?
09:34.4
Liberal Party.
09:35.1
Walang nanalo sa kanila.
09:36.3
Last time.
09:36.5
No, not.
09:37.2
Hindi ka naman maimbita
09:38.0
tapos ako na naman si Pistino.
09:40.0
Walang nanalo sa kanila.
09:41.4
Last election.
09:42.5
Dapat nakapag-assess sila.
09:43.9
Bakit walang nanalo?
09:45.6
No?
09:46.0
Ibang usapin niyong sa presidente,
09:47.7
pero walang nanalo na senador,
09:50.9
tapos kakaunting congressman lang
09:52.4
ang nanalo.
09:53.0
Dapat na-analyze na nila
09:55.2
ng gusto yan.
09:56.3
At ngayon, hindi lang yun.
09:57.8
Doon sa ilan nananalo na Liberal Party,
10:00.4
nahati pa sa tatlo.
10:02.0
May sumama sa minority,
10:03.5
dalawa.
10:03.8
May sumama sa administration,
10:06.6
four or five.
10:07.2
At may yung presidente
10:09.1
ng Liberal Party
10:10.1
na iwan as independent minority.
10:12.8
Hindi ko maintindihan.
10:14.3
Maliit na partido,
10:15.7
na-wipe out ka na halos,
10:17.3
yung natira,
10:18.0
nahati pa sa tatlo.
10:19.9
At halimbawa,
10:21.1
yung sumama sa administration,
10:22.8
hindi lang sumama sa administration.
10:25.6
Co-author ng Maharlika.
10:28.0
Defender ng Chacha.
10:31.0
Defender ng Chacha.
10:32.4
Eloquent apologist.
10:34.5
Tapos, two days ago,
10:36.0
yung isang member,
10:37.2
yung isang member ng minority
10:37.9
ng Liberal Party,
10:39.0
nag-abstain doon sa contempt
10:41.1
or warrant of arrest
10:42.6
ni Kibuloy.
10:43.8
So, kakaunti na lang ayan.
10:46.7
Tapos, hindi pa nila nakita
10:49.7
na kinakilangang baguhin yung narrative
10:51.6
to be more disruptive.
10:54.3
Diba?
10:55.1
Eh ngayon,
10:56.0
hindi mo naman masasabing
10:57.0
disruptive si Kiko Pangilinan.
10:59.1
Diba?
10:59.3
Paano kung magmamarka?
11:01.0
Diba?
11:01.2
Paano kung magmamarka?
11:02.1
Hindi lamang dahil
11:02.9
tumahimi ka na matagal.
11:04.6
No?
11:05.1
Nung nagsimula kang magingay,
11:06.2
magingay,
11:07.1
medyo kapos,
11:08.0
medyo kulang.
11:09.0
At filing of candidacy
11:10.1
na sa October.
11:11.3
Election na next year.
11:13.4
So,
11:15.0
mahihirapan,
11:16.5
uphill ka.
11:17.6
Diba?
11:17.9
Lalo na,
11:18.4
wala ka sa surveys.
11:20.4
No?
11:20.6
Wala ka sa surveys.
11:21.4
So,
11:22.1
hindi ako magugulat
11:23.1
kung magkaka
11:24.9
mali-repeat yung 2019
11:26.6
unless
11:27.4
dramatically
11:28.4
mag-scale up sila.
11:30.3
Ang gandang opportunity
11:31.2
para mag-scale up eh.
11:32.5
Dahil,
11:32.7
dahil una,
11:33.5
nahati yung
11:34.1
nahati yung unit team.
11:35.4
Gandang opportunity,
11:36.7
diba?
11:37.5
Na pumasok ka dyan.
11:38.9
No?
11:39.5
Pero,
11:40.2
bakit?
11:40.7
Bakit kulang pa rin?
11:42.1
Bakit kapos pa rin?
11:43.2
Sir,
11:43.6
ang puso,
11:44.2
mag-cold water ka.
11:47.0
Hindi,
11:47.2
dahil,
11:47.6
dahil concern ako,
11:49.8
dahil alam mo naman.
11:50.7
I know, Ron.
11:51.3
Let's be honest.
11:51.9
Ayot pa panong,
11:52.2
ayot hindi tayo iniimbit ha,
11:53.8
yung ating sentiments
11:54.9
nandoon naman eh.
11:55.8
Diba?
11:56.4
Why are we doing this?
11:57.9
Let's be honest.
11:58.9
I don't think
11:59.6
we would have done this
12:00.5
if we think things are doing okay
12:02.0
outside.
12:02.6
I'm sure that
12:03.0
we would do more foreign policy,
12:05.2
right?
12:05.4
But the reason
12:05.8
na alam kami
12:06.9
is because
12:07.6
kita-kita namin like,
12:10.0
ano ba yan?
12:11.0
Like,
12:11.7
ano ba yan?
12:13.0
Ano to?
12:14.2
Ano to?
12:15.0
Parang gano'n.
12:15.4
Diba ba?
12:15.9
Diba ba ikaw,
12:16.6
Big R,
12:17.3
no?
12:18.0
Sabi mo nga,
12:19.3
nakaka-1 million ka sa Facebook,
12:21.2
no?
12:21.8
And you're not even a politician.
12:23.8
Pero ibig sabihin,
12:25.0
nagagamit mo yung technology,
12:26.6
nagagamit mo yung...
12:27.4
Pero baka engagement lang yan,
12:28.6
kaya na pera to.
12:30.0
O, diba?
12:31.1
Ibig sabihin,
12:31.5
nagagamit mo yan
12:32.4
para magsimulang mag-disrupt
12:34.3
to get
12:35.2
the attention of people.
12:37.0
Bakit hindi nila magawa yun?
12:38.5
Bakit hindi nila ginagawa?
12:40.1
Hindi naman,
12:40.6
hindi naman tayo
12:41.3
gano'ng katalino, eh.
12:42.6
No?
12:42.8
Marami mas patatitok sa atin, eh.
12:44.7
Ano daw?
12:45.4
Cloudchaser kasi tayo.
12:47.0
Cloudchaser.
12:48.3
Hindi nila daw sila cloudchaser.
12:50.1
They're humble people.
12:51.7
Tsaka tayo,
12:52.4
self-appointed political analyst, no?
12:54.9
Kaya nyo.
12:56.2
Kaya nga.
12:57.0
Parang, ah,
12:57.9
kung meron lang,
12:58.8
kung meron pwedeng makita
13:00.0
sa ganitong ating example,
13:01.5
it can be done.
13:02.8
No?
13:03.0
It can be done.
13:03.6
It can be done talaga.
13:04.2
I think Christian is,
13:05.2
why are not they doing,
13:06.4
why are they not,
13:07.6
where are they,
13:08.6
why are they not doing it?
13:10.5
Yun yung aking kwal, eh.
13:11.8
October na!
13:12.9
Filing nila kandida si election nila
13:14.9
next year.
13:16.1
Bakit wala pa akong nakikita
13:17.2
ang scaling up?
13:18.4
But hindi yung lessons
13:19.9
ng technology,
13:21.5
yung lessons ng disruption,
13:23.8
no?
13:24.2
Yung lessons ng
13:25.5
mga political narrative,
13:27.6
no?
13:27.8
Bakit?
13:28.2
Bakit wala pa?
13:29.6
Ano yan?
13:30.0
Gagawin mo sa campaign period
13:32.0
next year?
13:33.3
Doon mo sisimulan?
13:35.2
Yun yung,
13:36.1
doon ako nagtataka.
13:37.9
No?
13:39.1
Ang dami na nangyari
13:40.2
para kumuha ka ng lessons.
13:41.9
Ang dami na nangyari
13:42.8
para maging basis mo
13:44.8
to create your own
13:46.0
narrative na
13:47.4
sangayon
13:48.4
sa challenges
13:49.4
ng panahon.
13:50.4
At ang dami lumabas.
13:51.7
Million, million march
13:52.9
nung election 2022.
13:54.3
I mean, it's not like,
13:55.1
you know,
13:55.4
nag-daydream ka mo dito.
13:57.9
Exactly.
13:58.6
We saw embers.
14:00.2
Sorry, not even embers.
14:01.4
We saw green shoots,
14:02.5
di ba?
14:03.1
Yeah.
14:03.3
Of something special,
14:05.2
something big.
14:06.2
I think the advance
14:06.9
ay 1.2 million sa Makati.
14:08.5
I was there.
14:09.6
No?
14:10.2
15 hours nandun yung mga tao.
14:11.8
Hindi yung maalis.
14:13.1
Hindi yung maalis.
14:14.5
No?
14:14.8
And most of them
14:15.6
are young people.
14:17.3
No?
14:18.4
I mean,
14:19.1
one of my first lives,
14:20.5
as in blog lives,
14:21.9
was from Southeast Rallies.
14:23.4
And sa daming tao
14:24.4
gumagamit ng internet
14:25.5
kasi middle class lahat to,
14:26.9
di ba?
14:27.5
Ang hirap kumuha ng internet.
14:29.5
Daksan ng tao.
14:30.4
I mean,
14:30.9
these are things I saw in Hong Kong
14:32.3
nung during Hong Kong protest.
14:33.7
You know,
14:33.8
yung huge crowds,
14:35.2
and to see all of these
14:38.9
A-list celebrities coming out,
14:41.5
si General Luna,
14:42.8
among others.
14:44.0
I mean,
14:44.4
you saw it.
14:45.2
Andun na yung,
14:45.9
andun na yung blueprint.
14:49.1
Essentially,
14:49.6
it was shouting in your face.
14:53.5
Kaya nilang makinig sa atin,
14:56.6
tignan nila si Tulpo.
14:58.4
Three Tulpo brothers.
15:01.6
Wala,
15:02.1
lalo ma-depress tayo.
15:03.4
May radio program.
15:04.8
Ba?
15:05.0
Ba?
15:05.2
Hindi sila matututuron, no?
15:06.6
Pwede nila pag-aralan yun, no?
15:08.3
Three Tulpo brothers.
15:09.6
Number one sa party list,
15:11.1
number one sa Senate,
15:13.3
mag na number one ulit sa Senate,
15:15.3
nilalampasan si Sarah sa surveys,
15:17.8
hindi pa nag-a-announce yan.
15:19.3
So, ano,
15:19.9
anong magic meron yan?
15:22.7
No?
15:23.1
Anong mga magic potions
15:25.2
yung kinakailangan pala?
15:27.6
I don't know.
15:28.1
Look at it.
15:28.6
Like, Rafi's doing all, di ba?
15:30.5
He's still in media,
15:31.6
he's still Senate,
15:32.4
like he's doing all of this
15:33.6
sabay-sabay, di ba?
15:34.5
It looks like he has a lot of time.
15:34.7
It looks like he has a lot of time.
15:35.0
He has a lot of energy for everything, di ba?
15:37.7
He's picking a lot of big fights
15:38.9
at the same time strategic also
15:40.3
with picking his,
15:41.1
choosing his battles.
15:42.6
So, apparently,
15:43.3
you can do it all naman, di ba?
15:44.5
I mean,
15:44.8
obviously, we have our disagreements
15:46.7
with the method
15:47.4
and sometimes the messaging.
15:49.4
But in terms of yung,
15:51.1
I mean, like,
15:51.8
multi-front offensive,
15:53.9
I think,
15:54.5
it's a lot to learn from.
15:54.7
Di ba, nga itong huli,
15:55.7
nag-walkout siya.
15:57.0
Di ba, nag-walkout siya
15:57.8
doon sa hearing window.
15:58.7
O, kay Bato.
15:59.5
O, yung nga na-post yan.
16:00.8
Yung nga na-post siya.
16:00.8
Yung nga na-post si Bato.
16:01.8
Pero,
16:02.1
sino yung nakinabang doon?
16:03.7
Si Tulpo.
16:04.6
Exactly.
16:05.3
Di ba?
16:05.5
Di ba nata niya,
16:06.1
kinura niya yung mga polis.
16:07.4
Di ba?
16:07.7
Nagsisinom alay,
16:08.5
et cetera, et cetera.
16:09.6
Nasaan lang simpat siya doon?
16:10.7
Naki Tulpo.
16:11.4
Hindi kay Bato.
16:12.6
Di ba?
16:13.4
O, nung,
16:13.9
nung kinonfront niya
16:15.1
si Pia Cayetano.
16:16.6
Tapos, nilabas niya
16:17.3
yung napakaraming papeles
16:18.6
about sa DepEd, no?
16:20.2
Et cetera, et cetera.
16:21.3
Sino yung nakinabang doon?
16:22.2
Si Pia?
16:23.1
Who is running for re-election?
16:24.8
O si Tulpo?
16:25.7
That's performative.
16:27.6
Performative politics, ha?
16:28.7
That's performative pala.
16:30.2
Performative, but,
16:31.0
but my basis,
16:31.9
I mean, in a way,
16:32.5
hindi naman,
16:33.2
kasi di ba,
16:33.7
this is the difference.
16:34.7
Yung kapila,
16:35.3
yung mga iba dyan,
16:36.0
alam mo na sino,
16:36.9
magdadrama-drama sila
16:38.0
kung nahuli silang
16:38.8
ang ginawa silang mali.
16:40.1
Eto si Tulpo,
16:40.8
may drama,
16:41.8
pero the underlying message is,
16:44.3
kaya ako nag-walkout
16:45.2
kasi you're not holding
16:46.1
people accountable,
16:47.0
which is a good message, right?
16:48.2
Kaya ako nag-walkout
16:49.1
or kaya ako nag-ganyan
16:50.1
kasi hindi kayo nag-respond
16:51.2
doon sa re-election.
16:52.1
So, you can,
16:52.6
you can criticize the example.
16:54.1
Pero mo yung PCSO.
16:58.7
Ito na lang nga
16:59.7
ang pag-asa
17:01.0
ng mga may hirap
17:02.0
from rags to riches.
17:04.4
Lolokohin nyo pa,
17:05.2
dadayain nyo pa.
17:06.4
O yun, di ba?
17:07.7
Imagine mo yung marka nun
17:09.0
sa mga may hirap.
17:09.6
Nako Ronald,
17:10.5
lalo tayo mag-bash,
17:11.6
hindi lang tayo
17:12.2
nag-apply sa Malacanang.
17:13.2
Sabi ko lang,
17:14.2
sabi naman,
17:16.4
nag-advise ko lang,
17:17.3
yung mga katulad mo
17:18.2
na pinklawan,
17:19.1
dapat matuto dyan.
17:20.7
Yan lang naman
17:21.1
sinasabi ko eh.
17:22.4
Ayan tayo,
17:23.3
ayan tayo.
17:24.3
Coming from
17:25.2
someone who was
17:26.4
in the Aquino administration,
17:28.0
I'll take it.
17:28.7
I'll take it with the game.
17:30.0
Hindi, sir Ronald,
17:31.1
last point on this episode,
17:32.7
I think this episode,
17:33.5
again,
17:33.9
naging emotional tayo
17:34.9
talawa as usual.
17:36.2
Hindi, kasi I mean,
17:36.9
I hope people understand.
17:38.3
I mean,
17:39.0
ano naman namin magpa-cute?
17:40.5
I mean,
17:40.7
I prefer a world na
17:42.2
kahit boring yung...
17:43.1
I mean, anything but cute.
17:45.5
Siyempre,
17:46.0
chad pa, pwede.
17:46.8
Ayan tayo.
17:47.2
I mean, anything but cute.
17:50.0
Sir, toto to.
17:51.5
Sir Ronald,
17:52.2
do you think...
17:54.0
I mean, you're right.
17:54.8
70s, 80s,
17:55.7
golden era of
17:56.6
civil society,
17:57.5
civil society leadership,
17:58.7
do you think
17:59.6
there was a
18:00.4
gap in terms of
18:02.0
training the next
18:02.7
generation of leaders?
18:04.7
Ah,
18:04.9
yung mga older
18:05.6
millennials like me
18:06.8
or, you know,
18:07.5
like, bring it down.
18:08.6
Do you think may
18:09.2
konting gap doon?
18:10.1
To put it nicely.
18:11.1
I mean, again,
18:11.4
all due respect
18:13.4
to folks and
18:14.5
friends and colleagues
18:15.6
fighting the good fight.
18:17.1
But at the same time,
18:18.1
do you think
18:18.4
there's a mismatch
18:19.6
between etong
18:20.4
rise of all of these
18:21.6
opportunistic clowns
18:23.0
and demagogues
18:23.8
and what they bring
18:24.9
to the table
18:25.5
in terms of their
18:26.2
political momentum
18:27.0
and appeal
18:27.4
and yung counter
18:28.7
forces?
18:30.1
Hindi lang gap.
18:32.3
Suddenly,
18:32.8
we hit the wall.
18:34.4
Kami, lahat kami,
18:35.6
nung panahon namin,
18:36.7
lahat ng mga
18:37.3
youth and students,
18:38.4
no,
18:39.0
ay kailangan
18:40.0
dumaan sa organizing.
18:42.0
Lahat kami
18:42.5
has to be tested
18:43.4
in fire.
18:44.6
Sa picket line,
18:45.5
sa demolition,
18:46.8
no,
18:47.0
sa countryside,
18:48.1
et cetera,
18:48.9
no.
18:49.4
Whatever political
18:50.6
ideological formation
18:52.6
you came from,
18:53.4
kailangan
18:53.8
dumaan ka dyan,
18:55.5
no.
18:56.2
At kaya,
18:56.8
napaka-crucial
18:57.8
sa mga coalition,
18:58.7
sa civil society,
19:00.1
ng mga youth
19:00.8
na nagsimula
19:01.7
as leaders,
19:02.8
as organizers,
19:03.7
et cetera,
19:04.6
no.
19:05.0
Suddenly,
19:05.8
suddenly,
19:06.5
nagulat ka na lang,
19:07.5
you woke up in the morning,
19:09.0
wala na mga strikes.
19:11.2
Suddenly,
19:11.6
you woke up,
19:12.1
wala na mga demolition,
19:13.5
no.
19:14.1
Suddenly,
19:14.8
you woke up,
19:15.7
no,
19:16.2
na yung peasantry
19:18.7
nasisimula na mag-ubos,
19:20.6
naging OFW na
19:21.7
yung kanilang
19:22.7
generation
19:23.8
ng farmers,
19:25.0
no.
19:25.4
Suddenly,
19:26.4
merong ng smartphone,
19:27.9
everybody,
19:28.7
is communicating,
19:30.0
everybody is
19:30.9
educating,
19:32.7
everybody is
19:33.6
nandun na sa
19:34.3
sa internet,
19:35.6
no.
19:36.1
Parang,
19:36.7
suddenly,
19:37.2
you hit the wall, eh.
19:38.3
Yung mga teachings mo,
19:39.6
yung mga study circles,
19:41.1
no,
19:41.5
yung mga political education,
19:43.5
suddenly,
19:44.9
hindi na siya umuubra.
19:46.6
Dahil ang
19:47.0
absorptive capacity
19:48.0
ng mga tao,
19:49.0
especially the youth,
19:50.3
ay 30 seconds na lang
19:51.4
or one minute.
19:52.6
Suddenly,
19:53.6
no,
19:54.2
hindi kami
19:54.7
na-realize namin,
19:56.8
no.
19:56.9
We are,
19:57.7
we are old,
19:58.7
artifacts.
19:59.8
No,
20:00.1
yun yung nangyayari ngayon.
20:01.5
At marami,
20:02.5
hindi nakapag-adjust.
20:04.0
Marami,
20:04.5
hindi nakapag-adjust.
20:05.5
Dahil napakabilis, eh.
20:07.5
Napakabilis ng speed, eh.
20:08.8
Wala man lang
20:09.4
transition period, eh.
20:11.2
Diba?
20:11.9
Na,
20:12.1
na mag-adjust ka.
20:13.1
Siguro,
20:13.4
isa yun sa naging problema.
20:14.9
Isa yun sa naging problema.
20:15.9
No, no.
20:16.2
I'll say one more thing.
20:17.2
So,
20:17.8
before we go to the next episode,
20:19.0
kasi we need to also talk
20:19.9
about West Philippines
20:20.6
and international affairs and all.
20:23.9
So,
20:25.2
if you look at it,
20:25.9
I mean,
20:26.2
my first book was on the
20:27.1
Arab uprisings.
20:27.9
And yesterday,
20:28.4
I was reading something
20:30.5
about comparison
20:31.4
of different revolts
20:32.9
throughout the 21st century.
20:35.0
And nakita ko,
20:35.7
apparently,
20:36.0
there's one book now
20:37.0
which kind of confirmed
20:38.0
what I've been saying.
20:39.1
This century has not produced
20:40.4
a single successful revolution.
20:43.2
Daming revolts,
20:44.3
Occupy Wall Street,
20:46.0
Arab revolts.
20:47.0
I mean,
20:47.2
I can go on and on.
20:48.4
Not a single one
20:49.5
has succeeded.
20:50.2
And my sense is,
20:51.4
one big problem
20:52.3
is this ideology
20:54.1
of,
20:55.2
you know,
20:56.1
autonomism,
20:57.5
horizontalism,
20:57.9
you cannot tweet
21:01.7
the revolution.
21:02.4
In fact,
21:02.8
literally,
21:03.3
in my first book
21:03.8
on the Arab Spring,
21:04.6
there's a chapter
21:05.4
when I called
21:06.0
Twitter devolution,
21:07.7
right?
21:08.0
That if you think
21:08.6
through a hashtag,
21:09.5
you can hashtag
21:10.1
your revolution,
21:11.1
there will always be
21:11.9
a KGB on the other side
21:13.3
who can better do it than you.
21:14.5
There'll always be
21:15.1
a troll farm
21:15.8
who can better do it.
21:16.9
There'll be always a side
21:17.8
who will spy on you,
21:18.8
use your own tweets
21:19.6
to track you down
21:20.6
and expose you.
21:21.6
So,
21:22.0
I just feel
21:22.7
there's this
21:24.4
false,
21:25.1
false ideology
21:26.8
that makes people
21:27.6
think through
21:28.1
just tweeting.
21:29.0
And I'm saying this
21:30.1
with 100%
21:30.9
self-consciousness
21:31.8
that a lot of
21:33.4
my political activism,
21:35.3
reluctant political activism,
21:36.7
is through Twitter
21:37.8
and all of that.
21:38.5
But I'm saying it
21:39.2
at least with self-awareness
21:40.4
that this is not enough.
21:42.3
If anything,
21:42.8
it could be
21:43.2
counterproductive
21:44.1
kung hanggang dyan lang.
21:45.4
Because at the end of the day,
21:46.8
there'll be no
21:47.3
revolution or change
21:48.2
if the people
21:49.0
in the barracks,
21:49.9
right,
21:50.1
those who hold power,
21:51.3
do not split,
21:52.1
do not change.
21:52.8
So,
21:53.3
don't you think
21:53.9
there's also this
21:54.6
folly of
21:56.5
over-fascination,
21:57.6
with all of this,
21:59.2
you know,
21:59.5
horizontalism,
22:00.7
networkism,
22:02.0
mga ganun.
22:02.3
It doesn't work.
22:03.6
There's no evidence
22:04.5
it has created
22:05.5
a single successful revolution.
22:07.6
Magti-third decade na tayo
22:08.7
ng 20th century.
22:09.7
Yeah.
22:10.2
Well,
22:11.1
kailangan natin
22:12.2
mas mahabang
22:12.9
diskusyon.
22:13.6
Third decade na pala tayo
22:14.7
ng fourth decade.
22:15.9
Kailangan natin
22:16.5
mas mahabang diskusyon.
22:17.7
Perhaps,
22:18.8
a hundred sessions
22:19.7
para pag-usapan ito.
22:21.6
Pero,
22:21.8
exactly.
22:22.5
But,
22:22.8
can you give a teaser
22:24.5
so that people look forward?
22:26.0
Yeah, yeah.
22:26.3
Because that's what
22:27.1
I want to do.
22:27.6
Once we sit down
22:28.7
hopefully,
22:29.2
I don't know,
22:29.5
somewhere Tagaytay,
22:30.2
whatever.
22:31.0
I want us
22:31.5
with a nice background
22:32.7
to put something
22:33.4
very green, right?
22:34.5
Organization.
22:35.4
That's where,
22:35.9
sorry, Ron,
22:37.2
I'm cutting you
22:37.7
because that's where
22:38.6
I really like
22:39.9
our partnership
22:41.4
because I respect
22:43.0
that part of you.
22:44.0
I don't agree
22:44.8
with some of your ideas
22:45.7
and isa alanganin ako
22:47.2
sa'yo.
22:48.1
Pero, Ronald,
22:48.7
I respect you
22:49.4
when it comes to
22:49.9
yung talagang
22:51.2
gangster OG background.
22:52.9
And it's that OG background
22:54.2
that people forget.
22:55.4
Yeah.
22:56.3
Well, una,
22:56.7
naging dibate namin
22:57.6
ito ni Maria Reza
22:58.5
in one of the
22:59.0
Rappler seminars.
23:02.2
Dahil,
23:03.0
we're so nice
23:04.4
dahil ayaw natin
23:06.6
i-weaponize
23:07.2
ang technology.
23:08.7
So,
23:08.9
ang nag-weaponize
23:09.7
ng technology
23:10.3
are the forces
23:11.1
of reaction.
23:12.4
Diba?
23:12.6
Yung nag-weaponize
23:13.6
this authoritarian
23:15.2
populist,
23:16.4
et cetera.
23:17.1
Sila yung nag-weaponize
23:18.1
nito to their advantage.
23:20.1
The Trump of this world,
23:21.8
the Bolsonaros
23:22.7
of this world,
23:23.5
et cetera.
23:24.6
Ikalawa,
23:25.1
I,
23:25.6
ah,
23:27.3
ah,
23:27.6
I,
23:27.6
ah,
23:27.6
parang naging
23:31.2
either-or, eh.
23:32.5
Yung dati nating
23:33.4
mga contradictions
23:34.8
na ibinabandera
23:35.7
which is basically
23:36.5
centered on class,
23:38.1
no?
23:38.8
Ay,
23:39.5
parang naging
23:40.3
anatema
23:42.1
dun sa mga issues
23:43.5
of identity.
23:44.8
Dun sa mga social issues
23:46.0
like environment.
23:46.9
Parang nahiwalay.
23:48.2
Na-fragment
23:49.0
yung ating
23:49.6
ideological
23:50.5
moorings.
23:52.1
Na-fragment
23:52.8
yung ating narrative.
23:54.3
Which shouldn't be.
23:55.6
Which shouldn't be.
23:56.6
Magkakaugna yan, eh.
23:57.6
Class,
23:58.8
ecology,
23:59.8
identity.
24:00.7
Anong nangyari?
24:01.7
Parang yung iba
24:02.6
naging woke.
24:03.7
Yung iba naging
24:04.5
ultra-leftist.
24:06.1
Yung iba ay naging
24:07.2
pie-in-the-sky
24:09.6
environmentalist.
24:11.0
Which should not
24:12.1
have happened.
24:12.7
It weakened
24:13.3
all of them.
24:14.6
It weakened
24:15.3
identity,
24:16.1
it weakened class,
24:17.1
it weakened
24:17.5
ecology,
24:19.4
ethnicity,
24:20.1
et cetera.
24:21.1
Panyan, eh.
24:22.6
Integrated yan, eh.
24:23.9
Ang problema,
24:24.9
walang mga ideologues,
24:26.6
no?
24:26.8
Na-dinevelop sila
24:28.1
as a coherent
24:29.8
whole.
24:30.9
No?
24:31.5
Yun yung naging problema.
24:32.7
Kung meron man,
24:33.8
ay hindi masyadong
24:34.5
na-popularize.
24:36.1
So, yun lang yung
24:36.7
quick answer ko
24:37.5
na part nitong
24:38.6
weakness na ito.
24:40.3
Na pwede natin
24:41.0
talakayan.
24:41.8
As I said,
24:42.6
this is just a teaser.
24:43.9
No, I just felt
24:44.6
we have to,
24:45.2
I have to spell it out,
24:46.4
diba?
24:46.9
Again, kasi
24:47.6
I think sometimes
24:49.2
na-misunderstood na naman tayo
24:50.6
or some people
24:51.3
deliberately try to
24:52.6
dismiss us to say,
24:53.5
eh, na naman si Ronald
24:54.4
Richard,
24:54.8
nagpapakit na naman sila
24:55.9
yung mga analyst na yun.
24:56.8
I want to make
24:58.5
these people realize,
24:59.7
I don't know
24:60.0
anong ginagawa nyo,
25:00.8
but actually,
25:01.3
last time I checked,
25:02.5
I'm studying all cases
25:04.3
all around the world
25:05.2
as much as I can, right?
25:06.3
And I really realized,
25:07.5
may gaps talaga dito
25:08.4
sa Pilipinas.
25:09.1
And I'd rather ask
25:09.8
an OG like you
25:10.7
than some,
25:11.4
I don't know,
25:11.9
pakit person who did,
25:12.8
I don't know,
25:13.1
some sociology graduate course
25:15.4
on blah, blah, blah,
25:16.2
horizontalism.
25:17.2
It doesn't work,
25:18.0
period, right?
25:18.7
It's just,
25:19.2
it's not enough
25:20.3
to really turn things over.
25:22.2
If you don't believe me,
25:23.0
go and ask people
25:23.6
who are fighting
25:24.1
the big fight in Russia,
25:25.8
in the Middle East,
25:26.6
in China,
25:27.4
they'll tell you
25:28.1
the reality.
25:29.1
Thank you so much, Ronald.
25:30.3
Kailangan natin,
25:31.1
puso, puso,
25:32.1
protect natin ang puso.
25:33.8
Hindi ito yung puso
25:34.7
ng Gitas.
25:36.4
Ibang puso ito.
25:37.7
Maraming salamat
25:38.3
sa Ronald Diamant.
25:39.7
Sa susunod na episode,
25:40.7
pag-usapan naman natin
25:41.5
ang foreign policy
25:42.6
kasi magtetravel
25:43.5
na naman ulit
25:44.3
ang ating
25:44.8
pinamahal na paulo.
25:46.5
Papunta naman sa
25:47.5
Washington, D.C.
25:49.2
Mag-white house na naman siya.
25:50.6
Mukhang yearly,
25:51.8
maging annual event
25:52.9
na ito ni BBM.
25:54.5
Sige, salamat sa Ronald.
25:55.7
Imagine in less than a month,
25:56.9
four trips?
25:58.6
Alam mo, Ronald,
25:59.6
five trips.
26:01.6
Gullivers,
26:02.3
ano lang travel.
26:03.4
Hindi na siya Magellan,
26:05.2
Gullivers.
26:09.0
Mapapash na naman ako
26:10.1
ng mga taga-Malacanang.
26:11.5
Ito na naman si Aydar.
26:13.7
Bakit si Aydar
26:14.6
yung travel ng travel?
26:15.5
Excuse me.
26:16.6
Excuse me.
26:17.6
Okay?
26:17.8
Iba yung mga ginagawa namin.
26:19.2
Okay?
26:19.8
Salamat sa Ronald.
26:21.5
God bless.
