IPANALO ANG TOTOO



Here's another great video by another dear friend, colleague and spiritual brother, Jay Cruz. Jay was a voice of utter cynicism in the PAGASA forum with Conrad de Quiros. He was sitting behind me and the heaviness of his words were really cutting. It took him a few months to join the PAGASA workshop after we invited him, but he came. And he has been with us since. What a force to contend with. Mae and Jay have really added energy, humor and excellence to our work. Jay's video is another winner. It really uplifts you! With talents like his and Mae's consciously and actively working on transforming our country, how can anyone feel hopeless?

MAE PANER'S "LUPANG HINIRANG"

I'm so proud of this video because a dear friend and spiritual sister, Mae Paner, created it.  She came to a PAGASA workshop a fantastic and talented commercial director, responsible for putting one or two people in the Senate.  She left the workshop feeling she could no longer use her gifts that way and created this instead.  This video has taken a life of its own and is inspiring Filipinos everywhere.  I've been waiting to upload this and now, finally, here it is. Amazing.

YOU HAVE TO COME!!!

I have been neglecting my blog because I have been very busy with PAGASA and the related initiatives.  The next one coming up is "Pepe Goes to Market".  This will be a festival that celebrates truth so please try and make it.  Check out the schedule of activities and make sure you  block the dates.  If you feel like you want to be part of the energy that's working hard to transform this country from the inside out, but don't know where to begin, this is it!  I hope to see you there.
