Sana matutunan natin na wag pansinin yung mga nagpapapansin. Alam kasi talaga nila anong buttons ang ipupush. Nagpapapindot naman ang marami.

Magfocus sana tayo sa mga opisyal mismo, kasi kapag nakafocus doon, may epektong mabuti.
Walang direct relevance yung papansing buang na nasa Japan na yan. Kahit ma-suplex yan, hindi yan macoconvert. Ginagalit lang kayo nyan. Malakas lang loob nyan kasi protektado yan ng Japan social welfare at ng personal nyang privilege. Maliit pa rin social media footprint nyan.
Iwasan din natin na maghanap at magpasikat ng mga trolls. Troll nga eh. Manufactured/invented or clickbait yung post. Bakit papansinin? Ano mapapala? Wala. Sisikat lang sila.

Yung mga palamuning opisyal na lang na napakarami at may obligasyon sa atin.
Kung naniniwala tayo na may troll armies at manufactured Pages na may objective na manlito, manghati, mag-divert ng attention -- dapat may match sa attitude natin sa mga posts na nakikita.

Wag magpabaliw sa pagreply sa kanila. Yun ang gusto nila eh, ang mabaliw sa pagreply.
Don't be affected by the trolls and defenders of the president, or any politician for that matter. Kasi they always aim to make it about you, to insult you, to take away your attention from the issues.

Instead, let's affect them. Yun bang posts natin paguusapan nila.
Kung meron mang dapat mabaliw sa sitwasyon natin, yan ay yung presidente mismo at mga kapanalig nya. Bigyan natin sila ng pag-iisipan. Pahirapan natin ang pagsisisungaling nila.

Iwasan natin ang maging predictable. They want to bait you. Don't bite. Think ahead.
Magfocus tayo sa presidente, cabinet members, senador, congressman, gobernador, mayor at iba pang opisyal. Laser-like focus. Accountable yan dapat sila sa publiko, at kahit sinong Pilipino ay may karapatan na magtanong sa kanila.
May exceptions siyempre gaya ng mga death threats, hate speech, threats of violence, red-baiting kung saan famous yung mga tagasuporta ng mga trapo bago pa magka-internet. Click report. Wag ipaalam na nirereport sila. Better yet, kasuhan sa barangay, school, employer, o korte.
It is totally understandable to be furious at the situation, and with Duterte's epic incompetence. Pero ayun nga, baka there could be better ways to express this na nakafocus sa kanya. Humor! Pag pinagtatawanan ang presidente, walang resbak ang mga trolls and fans.
Tingnan natin yung mga comics, memes, visual art. Wala silang maisagot sa ganun. Walang apela. I think we need more jokes and song parodies. The tyrant cannot survive being laughed at. Tingnan nyo si Debold, nababaliw na sa Mananita jokes. Effective kasi.
Pwede rin natin pag-awayin yung mga halimaw na opisyal. Tutal naglalaban naman sila sa pagsipsip.

Tingin ko nga mas magaling si Panelo kay Harry eh. Fashion sense pa lang. Saka bakit parang takot na takot si Tito Sen sa mga Cayetano? Si Bong Go ba ay magreresign na sa Senado?
May strat sila na lituhin, hatiin, guluhin, galitin, pagurin, at pasukuin tayo. Ask any political scientist or marketer. May objective lahat ng ginagawa nila, at pinapagawa sa influencers nila.

Dapat meron din tayo: Unite! Laugh at and split the enemy ranks! #OustDuterte

Calamities are reason why we form a government. We provide government with the organization, manpower, money, resources and training to address emergencies in any part of the country. We expect government to work for us, especially at times like this.
People outside Cagayan Valley are watching helplessly as we receive endless news of fellow Filipinos there desperately asking for help. Apparently, the LGUs alone cannot handle the sheer magnitude of the ecological humanitarian crisis. National government must step in.
The people of Cagayan Valley are Filipinos too. They pay taxes to the national government. They are entitled to quick and adequate response from national agencies. National agencies should address their emergency needs.

Widespread flooding in Isabela, Cagayan feared as Magat Dam releases more water

Major rivers in the province, such as the Cagayan River and the Abulog River, have overflowed due to the non-stop rain since November 11. Some shores have eroded.

The absence and silence of national disaster, civil defense and rescue officials throughout the night was obvious.

If there’s anyone who didn’t follow PAGASA’s advice, they are these “public servants” who would rather gaslight this morning.
NDRRMC and OCD officials should disclose their whereabouts and activities in the hours leading to #UlyssesPH’s landfall until this outrageous presscon.

Nag-11.11 lang yata itong mga hayup na to eh. Tapos sisisihin ang mga taong pinabayaan nila.
Were NDRRMC and OCD closely monitoring #RescuePH reports on social media and mass media? What steps did they take?

What kind of help did these agencies provide LGU DRRMOs?

Aside from gaslighting, what exactly did they do?

If the military wants to wage war with the New People’s Army, they should go to the mountains and duke it out with the rebels.

Problem is, Parlade et al are cowards. They use redtagging to target *unarmed* and peaceful activists, government critics, and concerned citizens.
@ErickDelRay’s comment also begs the question: What if what the military derides as “communist views” are actually mainstream democratic and nationalist views, that any Filipino could independently arrive at? Examples: land reform, national industrialization, ousting tyrants
So what if a Filipino harbors “communist views”? Which “communist views”? Are those views in fact communist?

Example: What’s exactly communist in land reform which makes landowners out of farmers?

@ErickDelRay opens an opportunity for national-democrats to explain their aims.

Trump is defeated.

Is it possible in and for the Philippines? YES.

But we need to do more than "wishing" it does.

(thread)
In 2018, many aspirants started running, offering different platforms. The primaries offered Americans the chance to choose the nominee, and to debate about the platforms.

People organized, knocked on doors, phoned, donated.

Q: How are we going to choose candidates?
Same is true in all races. Primaries determined the candidates. Organizing was involved at the grassroots.

Q. Are we ready to do the same? Are we gonna allow candidates to choose voters? Or voters should choose candidates? Are we uniting under one party or one coalition?
