The first season of #ProyektoPilipino has now drawn to a close. It's been an exciting and fulfilling effort to bring civics to a new generation in a crucial election season. I hope you will catch its two flavors: the main video show, and the companion podcast that goes deeper.
Our penultimate topic was on faith and politics. Here is episode 12 of #ProyektoPilipino as broadcast on cable and available on YouTube: quezon.ph/2022/04/29/pro…
Here is the accompanying podcast of #ProyektoPilipino further fleshing out the topic of faith, morals, and politics. quezon.ph/2022/05/02/pro…
Our #ProyektoPilipino season finale is a discussion on what happens on election day: including something at the heart of the democratic process, the concept of rule by the majority. I hope you'll jpoin us for season 2! quezon.ph/2022/05/05/pro…
On another podcast, the team tackled the question of how, individually, we arrived at our choices of whom to vote for. quezon.ph/2022/04/30/pod…

The TGIF it's the night before the Miting de Avance which is the night before the night before Election Day supermegamaxithread, so let's try to settle our nerves by having a Big Think thread. Let me start with two paintings I've been thinking about.... Image
The first is "Nero's Torches" an 1876 painting by the Polish artist Henryk Siemiradzki. This is the Coalition that enjoys all the traditional advantages, that believes it is born to rule, made of those who believe they are the apex predators and have it all figured it out... Image
The second is the 1790-94 sketch for "The Tennis Court Oath," by Jacques-Louis David. This is the Coalition of the professionals, the artists, the unknown and dispossessed, the reformers and radicals, who look forward and not backward: those who risk and embrace modernity... Image

@giancantdance You granted victory to those who spent thirty years between mother and son camouflaging *their* campaign to keep things the same, behind a cloud of insisting it was mother and son who were doing do: when what they did was hold the line for modernity. The potential of what the…
@giancantdance Fifth Republic could be, beyond them, could thus never even approach to be realized because of this multi-decade and multi-front effort. So this only proves how successful because insidious and sly, that effort has been. In damning with faint praise you have vindicated those who
@giancantdance knew how dangerous their vision of a united society actually was. And to praise and exalt the Vice-President when it still remains to be seen if her fight —and it is hers, that will win or lose in the end on her leadership—will be embraced by the people, is to reach a conclusion

A thread on political earthquakes, which starts with what sooner or later depends on the character and personality of candidates. You know which of these two candidates actually likes the Filipino people. If you didn’t before, it’s become quite clear by now. Which leads to…
This thread by Bart: and it’s true, the songs are just part of a phenomenon of not just expression and innovation but of political renewal. These songs and pictures and even hashtags all come from the public and in many ways have overwhelmed “official” efforts. Consider that even
The color itself, pink, did not come from the campaign or the core group of the (then potential) candidate but from those self-organizing to get her to run: it came about as the color it succeeded, had come about, from below. You will remember that I myself had misgivings about

Will the surveys reveal a March surprise? Some analysts seem to think so: but there's more to it. A thread. In a recrnt blog entry, I put together a roundup on surveys and what they tell us (and don't necessarily tell us). quezon.ph/2022/03/07/sur…
A sample of a more traditional way of looking at the survey numbers is demonstrated by a recent column by Andrew Marasigan: philstar.com/opinion/2022/0…
A lot of political buzz was caused by @wilsonchua arguing that online data if properly looked at can reveal engagement and sentiment which are more accurate predictors of trends than traditional surveys. He presented his thoughts in a recent article: mb.com.ph/2022/02/28/can…

My column today looks at how we've overlooked the Sino-Russian alliance firmed up shortly before the invasion of Ukraine, and how its beneficiary can only be one candidate here at home: FM Jr. opinion.inquirer.net/150804/strateg… Image

A work that can help us make sense of the cycles of history, is .@fromTGA's essay, "Velvet Revolutions: The Prospects" from 2009. Here is a thread of some of his ideas to ponder during #EDSA36 season.
