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! 💯

Fun fact: Si Marco Masa ang huling child star na naging lead sa first primetime slot pagkatapos ng TV Patrol bilang Nathaniel noong 2015.
After noon, wala nang child star ang muling naging lead sa same timeslot. Ilang taon din itong pinangunahan ng mga serye ni Coco Martin, FPJ's Ang Probinsyano, FPJ's Batang Quiapo, at ngayon, Sigabo.
FYI. Coco is 13-14 years older than Julia. So if Julia was 13, he wasn’t 21… he was 26-27. 🥴
As in a guy pushing 30 made a move on someone who’s barely a teenager
so their first work together was before mara clara, and julia was literally just a kid (13 yo), when he was already a grown ass adult (27 yo)???? kasing sahol ng supporters niya yung groomer na 'to eww
- the U.S. pushing Pax Silica in the country
- claims by some Chinese scholars regarding Batanes
- Isra*el's water and agriculture project in Palawan
- reports of Isra*eli interests expanding in Siargao
please stay informed and pay attention to what's happening!
bagyo szn na naman. wag nating hayaang malunod sa baha ang usapin ng flood control. alam natin na taun-taon tayong binabaha, pero tila walang nalulunod sa pananagutan. hangga’t may pondong nawaldas at may kapabayaang hindi napaparusahan, patuloy tayong maniningil.
If Batanes is a geographical extension of Taiwan, it is logical then for the Philippines to claim Taiwan as a rightful part of its territoy.
Ganyan katanga lohika nila.
a poor farmer without valid id struggles to claim money for her husband’s medical treatment. as bureaucracy delays the funds and his condition worsens, her faith, conscience, and humanity are put to the test.
‘2 valid ids’ dir. ma-an asuncion-dagñalan, a cinemalaya 2026 entry.
SPREAD AWARENESS! TAKE TIME TO READ!
Oppose Pax Silica! US, itigil ang panghihimasok sa Pilipinas! Ipaglaban ang ating lupa at mamamayan. Hindi tayo tuta ng imperyalismo. Ang bayan ay para sa Pilipino, hindi para sa dayuhang interes. ‼️
