Proyekto Pilipino: Conversations on Civics and Politics

Tapos na ang buto-buto: What happens after election day?

“Ang proyekto ng Pilipinas, hindi nagtatapos sa eleksiyon. Kasama pa rin tayo sa proyekto ng demokrasya, manalo o matalo man ang ating mga binoto.” Not everyone comes out of the election a winner. And with the results out, the country is split yet again: some are victorious, some are grieving. But no matter the results, Fr. Tito Caluag and his trio of distinguished thinkers—Manolo Quezon, Leloy Claudio, and Carlo Santiago—remind us that the project of our country is still young. All nationhood goes through triumphs and tribulations—and the result may not always to be our liking. What shouldn’t change is our active involvement in the continuous journey and evolution of our democracy so that when we leave it to the next generation, we can say that we did our best. We left our legacy. “Kailangan nating pakinggan ang boses ng sambayanan dahil iisa lamang tayong bansa.” *** DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed by the podcast creators, hosts, and guests do not necessarily reflect the official policy and position of Podcast Network Asia.

Arreglado na ang kilay: What happens on election day?

Historically, 2 out of 10 voters change their minds on election day. We are just a few more days away from May 9, but many remain unsure and unconvinced about their local and national bets. While this has been a most colorful and interesting campaign period, there is still time to rectify the fake news that has tainted many decisions, there is still time to weigh your options and consider more candidates, and there is still time to debate meaningfully with your families and friends. But at the end of the day, Fr. Tito Caluag and his friendly trio of distinguished thinkers—Manolo Quezon, Leloy Claudio, and Carlo Santiago—remind us that the fight for our nation does not end on election day. In fact, it is just the start. “Bata pa ang ating Proyekto Pilipino bilang bansa, dahil isang daang taon pa lamang tayong bumoboto. Kaya hindi pa tapos ang proyektong ito.” *** DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed by the podcast creators, hosts, and guests do not necessarily reflect the official policy and position of Podcast Network Asia.

The voice of the people is the voice of God

Ano ba ang konsepto ng separation of Church and State? At dapat bang hindi nakikisawsaw ang simbahan sa usapang pulitika, at vice versa? The separation of the Church and State is in the constitution, and the Canon Law of the Catholic Church outlines the separation between these two entities. But while many people would like to draw a line between what is religious and what is political, the reality is that religion deals with morals, and the whole concept of nationhood is moral, as well. Join Fr. Tito Caluag and his friendly trio of distinguished thinkers—Dr. Leloy Claudio, Manolo Quezon, and Carlo Santiago—as they talk about the role of our faith and discernment in helping us decide who to vote for in the coming elections. Religion is part of our history and our lives, and at the end of the day, we bring our history and morals to the political choices that we make as Filipinos and as voters. *** DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed by the podcast creators, hosts, and guests do not necessarily reflect the official policy and position of Podcast Network Asia.

We Bulong: Fake News

“Maraming kumikita sa fake news at maraming nabubudol sa kasinungalingan ng mga pulitiko.” Technology has undoubtedly made it easy—and profitable—to spread fake news, rumors, and outright disinformation. And more than just earn millions, purveyors of fake news are now able to sow distrust in mainstream media and even rig an election to their advantage. In these times where it’s so easy to fall into the trap of black propaganda, where should we turn to and what should we do so we are better armed to discern and judge the legitimacy of the information we receive? Join Fr. Tito Caluag and his friendly trio of distinguished thinkers—Dr. Leloy Claudio, Manolo Quezon, and Carlo Santiago—as they talk about how to promote a “kultura ng resibo” where we ask for evidence and we ourselves are ready to present the proof.

Star ng Halalan

“Mula talampakan hanggang buhok, pati na kili-kili, napakalakas ng hatak ng mga celebrity. Eh paano naman sa pulitika?” The power of the celebrity encompasses many aspects of our lives, and influences many of our choices from the food that we eat to the clothes that we wear. The question now is how much can they really influence our vote—and is this a good or bad thing? Join Fr. Tito Caluag and his friendly trio of distinguished thinkers—Dr. Leloy Claudio, Manolo Quezon, and Carlo Santiago—as they tackle the need to be critical about celebrity endorsements, and ponder on the question: “What if more than just endorsements, they decide to run for office?” To watch the full version of this conversation with Robert Labayen, an advertising expert and current Head of Creative Communication Management at ABS-CBN, head to the Conscience Collective Youtube Channel here: https://youtu.be/P-XBKy5xnUc [https://youtu.be/P-XBKy5xnUc] *** DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed by the podcast creators, hosts, and guests do not necessarily reflect the official policy and position of Podcast Network Asia.
