Same, ako ata 15 years old di ko na tanda basta nag vote ako sa SK pa.. Tapos nung nag-digital na (new voter's id) sabay pa kami pumila nun, tanda ko pa na nainis siya kasi ang bagal ko gumayak.. [emoji28] Strict papa ko kasi sa involvement sa community at social responsibility.. Kailangan may pakialam, hindi dapat bystander..
same with my parents. Mom ko maraming advocacy - esp nung 80s and 90s - AIDS, family planning (which my Dad's conservative Catholic family was not happy about) and TB among others. She goes around low income areas to educate and also does talks/seminars. I used to find it embarrassing but now I appreciate her more. My Dad was always so proud of my Mom pero pag nakaharap parati namin siya inaasar. We used to have tons of condoms and pills at home when it was so frowned upon pa. Saka yung mga tshirt namin na nakalagay AIDS hahaha
I am surprised at the Binay and Trillanes at the same line up.
Isn't there still bad blood from both of them?
Interested to see the news interview on both of them.
Yan ang presidentiable, hindi smorgasbord ang line up ng senador, nag-iisip. Yung iba sa line up palang alam monang trapo.ha ha ha pinag aagawan nila cagayan at apo bloc ni binay.
Nice.. Ang active din pala ng mom mo Ms. Cathy.. [emoji1319][emoji1319][emoji1319][emoji1319][emoji1319]
Papa at mama ko naman physical labor and charity dito sa munting subdivision..
Kaya tuloy kami na C19 inaasikaso kasi ng papa ko yung panambak na lupa dun sa bungad ng subdivision.. Siya nagmu-monitor sa gumagawa, na duda ko kapag hindi siya sinunod siya mismo gumagawa para gayahin siya.. Haysssss..
Walang bayad yun, kusa niya lang kasi walang gustong gumawa.. Time and physical labor, walang kapalit.. Kahit sawayin ko sasama lang loob sakin.. [emoji28]
Sa senior din dito sa subdivision isa siya sa umasikaso ng C19 vaccine at flu vaccine.. Namigay ng forms at nagraradyo paikot para sa announcement.. Dami pa niya ginagawa.. [emoji28]
Wow! Buti pa parents mo active until now. Nag stop na Mom ko when she turned 60 ata (so that was almost 20 yrs ago :P) Nakakapunta din ako sa mga public school sa Makati and I have to go give it to the Binays na maayos talaga. My Mom still hates the Binays though even if she works with the LGU (super kurakot kasi talaga)
BUT BUT BUT she will be voting for Binay for the first time just because mag straight Leni siya![]()
Hehehe dami pa pwede mangyari nag-aabang pa din ako..
Excited nga ako sa mga debate, sana mahaba yung series this time.. Hatiin na lang sana nila per topic para hindi straight na nakaka-drain..
Month long series sana kahit per weekend na lang.. Para din yung preparation nila specific din..
I am gonna give it to Binay if he forgives Trillanes and the LP.
The attack on Binay basically brought down his presidential bid. Money, time spent lost.
What if??? They never attacked Binays presidential bid and allegations of corruption.
He could have been the president succeeding Pnoy and DU30 might not have ascended to the Presidency.
Binay has always had a warm heart for the Aquinos.
Party politics and ambition got in the way.
Binay was never convicted of anything, correct me if I'm wrong. The same way duterte also has corruption allegations. No one is making up new stories about Binay to discredit the media and history. People can look up Binay and decide for themselves if they will vote for him or not.
Yung mga pinapakalat na kwento to clear the Marcos' name ang revisionism.
Binay was a human rights lawyer during Martial Law. I think it's pretty obvious kung para san sila nag uunite dito.

Making peace with Leni’s Senate lineup
By: Solita Collas-Monsod - *inquirerdotnet
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:18 AM October 16, 2021
People (myself included) are expressing surprise, if not horror, at the Senate slate that Leni Robredo chose. What is this? they ask as they read the list. Leila de Lima running with Dick Gordon and Migz Zubiri, who were two of her bitterest critics and who seem to have really fallen for the Duterte-fabricated story that Leila was the mother of all druglords: What must Leila be thinking?
And you have Antonio Trillanes IV running with Jojo Binay, who Trillanes had unequivocally exposed as corrupt with a capital C. Binay had charged Trillanes with libel. What must each of them be thinking?
Not to mention the fact that some of these candidates were so busily licking the President’s ass for almost five and a half years, only to turn around and bite the hand that fed them. What’s to prevent that from happening again, especially since we know that our women presidents seem to be the most likely targets of attempted coups (remember Cory and Gloria), actions which were never aimed against male presidents? So what must Leni be thinking?
But, after fulminating for a couple of hours by telephone and text, a certain sense of calm has set in. Wasn’t the senatorial slate, and as a matter of fact, the presidential candidate herself, supposed to be the candidates of a united opposition? Yes. So why be upset? What are they united about? They are against a Marcos/Duterte clone winning.
Still, feelings die hard. So we continue to argue: Aren’t some of those opposition of pretty recent vintage? Shouldn’t they be running with their long-time allies instead of with Leni? No, we answer ourselves: Understand that in the Philippines, five-and-a-half years is considered too long for a politician to remain loyal. Switching alliances is almost expected every three years—the term of most elected officials. In the Philippines, changing political colors is a pretty run-of-the-mill experience. Don’t take it against the politicians—at least not now. Too many other things are up in the air.
Isko Moreno says he’s ‘hurt’ after being called a **** star
Having gone through the negatives, let’s go to some of the other positives. The first is that you have to admit, Reader, that the slate has eight political parties represented, with two independents. Only the Liberal Party has two candidates. If that is not uniting the opposition, I don’t know what is.
Second, of that 11-member slate, there are at least seven names that one would unhesitatingly vote for because they have proven their worth, and like Leni, have solidly grounded principles, with no whiff of corruption. It is doubtful that we will get as many good-as-gold candidates in the other senatorial slates. Go-for-gold candidates, more likely.
Third, the slate has still to name a 12th candidate. Most likely that candidate will come from an as-yet-unrepresented sector or party. So there is still room for improvement. Perhaps from the now fragmented PDP-Laban? Or from the Left? Or another independent?
Finally, remember, politics is supposed to be addition, so perhaps that principle lords it over other principles we may have in mind.
And what is the effect of Migz Zubiri, Joel Villanueva, and Jojo Binay being included in Paquiao’s Senate slate? Of Jojo Binay being included in Lacson’s Senate slate? Positive or negative? I don’t know.
I have made my peace with it.
——————
I cannot let this opportunity slip to publicly and wholeheartedly congratulate Maria Ressa for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. That it took so long for President Duterte to congratulate her (half-hearted at that) is despicable, but not surprising. This year also saw Hidilyn Diaz winning an Olympic gold and Yuka Saso winning the US Ladies Golf Open. All women. The first two winning what no Filipino male had ever won before, bringing honor to the Philippines. It gives the Let Women Lead movement a beautiful start.
The LetWomenLead.org is off and running. It is hoping that the funds needed to get qualified women to lead the Philippines will be generated by crowdfunding. All who think that Filipino women deserve such leadership positions, please join.

kaya siguro nasa line-up nga si binay so he can bring in the makati, apo frat, and boyscout alumni votes.
si trillanes is needed for the military support and of course, the afp active and inactive electorate.
tapos si zubiri is counted on to deliver a sizeable mindanaoan vote.
villanueva was a primo vote getter the last time around plus he's got a chunk of the christian contingent on his back pocket i assume.
iyong iba ewan ko especially iyong mga guest candidates. haha hirap ng nagmamarunong
well, looking at her senatorial slate, drilon and leni did make a good effort to unite peeps going against the wannabe strongman. looks like she's becoming an astute politician after all - w/ all those wheelin' and dealin' (w/o giving in to the respective convictions of moreno and lacson) .
Nanghihinayang ako kay gutoc. But there's a slim chance i may still vote for her.
