PAANO KA HINDI KAKAININ NG SISTEMA?
In his commencement speech to the graduates of UP Law 2026, Mayor Vico Sotto shared that he is always asked by people how he keeps his integrity. They ask for his advice on the age old question of:
“Paano kami hindi kakainin ng sistema?”
As a result, he shared ten things he does or thinks about regularly to avoid being eaten by the system.
Here are the TEN THINGS that Mayor Vico Sotto does or follows to keep his integrity:
1. Preparation is more important than courage.
2. Make a list of non-negotiables and review them regularly.
3. When in doubt, choose faith conscience and integrity over money power and ambition.
4. Study cognitive dissonance and continuously identify how and where it affects you. Your decision-making and opinion-forming.
5. Get out of your echo chamber from time to time.
6. Check your ego every single day.
7. Have people in your life who share the same or similar principles, values, and beliefs.
8. Allow said people in #7 to keep you grounded.
9. Give these people the license to hold you accountable.
10. Have a healthy level of respect but also be willing to go against the status quo.
Then the crowd cheered in applause. 👏

I support doing all ten but I would like to personally highlight Numbers 3, 6, and 7! 💯

Mas magaling talaga si Solenn compared sa kanila ever since. And this was even before the corruption/trapo issues of the two.
Si Solenn ang goat sa painting sa local showbiz. 😅
Can I just say... grabe yung assurance na iniwan ng DonBelle sa Bubblies 🥹🤍 When they told us not to worry because they're in a happy place, we believed them. And we really felt it even in the smallest glimpses and quiet gestures. That's more than enough to reassure our hearts!
naurrr bumili na lang kayo ng ibang brand tapos gayahin niyo na lang ‘yong color 😆 ang daming alternatives diyan, blooms !! buying sunnies flasks = giving your money to marcos apologists.
Ang galing ng PNP. Nagiging free healthcare system para sa mga politican criminals.
Tapos tayo 1k lang na abono mula sa PhilHealth para sa 100k na billing.
La culpa siempre es del aire acondicionado, de las duchas de más de 5’, del coche a gasolina del pobre… pero curiosamente nunca lo es de los jets privados, los campos de golf, la industria fast fashion, los centros de datos, de las toneladas de residuos y gases de las fabricas..
Sorry, but I’m still here 😩
What a frkn miss of not recasting these theater peeps for the same show. Imagine, rehearsal lang ito sa dining area but this is what we can get pag talagang trained theater peeps ang cast (plus yung music arrangement ni kuya Myke 👌🏻) 😭

Movies like this carry the weight of our everyday struggles, so rooting for its success is really just rooting for a better, kinder, & far less complicated future for every Filipino. Let's hope this opens more discussions and changes with how bureaucratic the system is for many.
