The outpouring of love for the Tung brothers rivaling that shown for Vico Sotto :) In hospitals across the country, young doctors, nurses, technicians lead the way in demanding protection of their rights and the rights of patients. THIS GENERATION showing us how to do it. BOW.
Metro mayors, whatever their political parties, collaborate and learn from each other's innovations, and take time to acknowledge bright ideas across the metropolis.
Younger brgyy captains confront the President on premature claims and the red tape affecting delivery of aid.
I do not know the Tung brothers. But their wicked wit, harnessed for the family sardines manufacturing corp, combines humor and biting social commentary. They're also big donors in relief ops.
Now one of the brothers has come up with a sharper criticism addressed at a laggard government's attempt to centralize the distribution of critical health care supplies.
There are the folks at Gang Badoy's Rock Ed, who provide carpools and packed and send food and other aid to hospitals across the country; in Gabriela and Kabataan, Defend Jobs, in iDefend and various churches, stepping into the frontlines of organizing aid and defense of rights.
Young people use technology to provide relief and temporary solutions in the present imperfect.
Young journalists are shining as more vulnerable veterans follow advice to go on quarantine. Their stories wake us up to the realities of life beyond statistics in the time of COVID-19
Of course, older politicians and journalists, doctors, and civic advocates and activists also work hard to mitigate suffering during this crisis.
In fact, almost everyone is hard at work, has been hard at work, without need of prompting.
But COVID19 is defining a generation.
And this generation, millennials, often given the shaft for alleged apathy and self-absorption, are collectively redefining our concepts of engagement AND patriotism.
They're not about to fall in line like robots. Oh, yes, they argue and argue and argue.
But hell, they're finding solutions w/n restricted space. And they're pushing every day, every hour to narrow that space in the interests of public service.
Saludo, kabataan! #Padayon!
