"We are not meant to fight the same way. A politician may need to find middle ground; an advocate may need to stand firm. But both are necessary. We hold different lines but we push in the same direction."

This is a powerful reminder—especially now in the midst of all the noise around Kiko and Bam possibly joining the Senate majority. I hope people realize: finding middle ground is not evil. It’s what democracy looks like. It’s how we reach more people.
It doesn't help the Marcoses to impeach Sara now or anytime before the 2025 elections. It doesn't make political sense. The House and the Senate do not have time for it. They'll be too busy campaigning for May 2025.

For Odette however, you need to fly the goods or ship they over sea to get them to their destinations. This is where the challenges begin.
CHALLENGE #1
There are not enough planes or ships to carry our relief goods. We are competing with the yearend/holiday logistics reqts.
