๐ Lino Brocka on art, 1987:
"Cinema was used to deflect the attention of the people from injustices, violation, and oppression.
I, on the other hand, hold that cinema can be used to make people think, to make people remember."
But! The story isn't over yet. Marcos still has a disqualification case at COMELEC. That will most likely be dismissed by the en banc. Then it goes to the SC. If SC rules against Marcos, Sara Duterte becomes President. I've always thought this was the endgame.
If voters are DISENFRANCHISED because they donโt make the 7pm cut-off, hindi na ito kasalanan ng mga botante o nang pandemya.
The Comelec should made accountable. The Filipino people deserve vote counting machines that work. #Halalan2022
in 2019, otso diretso lost. all eight of them.
as campaign manager, dad felt that it was chiefly his fault, and he turned in a letter of resignation from the party to take responsibility for the loss.

Leni Robredo, the only woman on the ballot in the Philippines election, is an outspoken critic of President Rodrigo Duterte and a frequent target of his insults.
Thousands of young people, some too young to vote, have been cheering her on. #Halalan2022 https://t.co/8BWmwxnryh
BBC News' description of VP @lenirobredo:
"She is the sitting Vice President with a FINE RECORD of public service and NO TAINT OF CORRUPTION. On paper, Leni Robredo should be a dream candidate."
