February 25, 2026, marks exactly 40 years since the EDSA People Power Revolution. This anniversary is no longer just about nostalgia but about Radical Accountability.

Current Concern: The 40th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution

Today, February 25, 2026, marks exactly 40 years since the EDSA People Power Revolution. It is a unique moment in our history: we are looking back at the peaceful uprising that ousted a dictatorship, even as the son of that same president now leads the country.

For many, this anniversary is no longer just about nostalgia or "museum pieces." Instead, civil society and religious groups are shifting the focus toward Radical Accountability. Under the theme "Tayo ang People Power" (We are the People Power), the message is clear: the power of the people didn't end in 1986. It is a responsibility we carry every day.

Citizens are joining the "Trillion Peso March" and a "Prayer March" to demand two things: transparency in how our national budget is spent and the long-overdue passage of the Anti-Political Dynasty Law. While many hoped this milestone would be a non-working holiday, the administration has kept it as a "special working day," citing the need for economic productivity. Meanwhile, universities like UP and Ateneo are holding "Alternative Learning Days." These sessions aim to protect historical facts and equip students to fight digital misinformation and "fake news" online.

The Way Forward: An "Unfinished Revolution"

The narrative of EDSA has evolved. We are realizing that changing a leader is not enough if the system stays the same. To move forward, we must finish what 1986 started by:

- Demanding Institutional Change: Pushing for the Freedom of Information (FOI) act so that government transactions are open to public at all times.

- Digital Vigilance: Staying alert in the digital space. Modern "People Power" happens when we use our phones and social media to hold officials accountable, not just once every few decades, but daily.

- Building Integrity: Shifting our focus from "protesting" to "participating" in governance—ensuring that the spirit of EDSA reaches our local barangays and city halls.

EDSA was a victory for democracy, but 40 years later, the work of nation-building remains a "work in progress." It is up to this generation to ensure that "People Power" becomes a permanent part of how we govern, not just a memory on a highway.

BUKLOD PANALANGIN: Prayer for the Nation

Heavenly Father,

Lord of History and Sovereign over all nations, we come before You on this 40th year since You granted our land a bloodless transition of power. We thank You for the gift of freedom and the spirit of unity that once stunned the world.

However, Lord, we come to You today in deep repentance. We confess that as a nation and as a church, we have often treated the miracle of EDSA as a museum piece rather than a mandate for daily righteousness. We have been complacent, allowing the seeds of greed, corruption, and political dynasties to take root again in our soil. We have failed to protect the truth, allowing deception to cloud the minds of our youth. Forgive us for believing that a change in leaders is enough, without a change in our own hearts and systems.

We pray for our country today. As citizens march and gather, protect them and grant them the courage to speak truth to power with love and conviction. We pray for our current leaders; grant them the humility to listen to the cry for justice and the wisdom to govern with radical accountability. Let the spirit of genuine *bayanihan* rise above political divisions. May this 40th year be a true Jubilee—a time of releasing the oppressed, correcting systemic wrongs, and returning to the path of integrity.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The 2026 Legislative Pivot for Structural Reform

After a difficult 2025—scarred by corruption scandals in flood control projects and a slowing economy—the government is changing its strategy for 2026. President Marcos and his team now admit that "ghost projects" and deep-seated corruption are the real reasons why the country isn't moving forward. To fix this, the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) has identified 52 laws that they want Congress to pass immediately.

Current Concern: The 2026 Legislative Pivot for Structural Reform

After a difficult 2025, scarred by corruption scandals in flood control projects and a slowing economy, the government is changing its strategy for 2026. President Marcos and his team now admit that "ghost projects" and deep-seated corruption are the real reasons why the country isn't moving forward. To fix this, the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) has identified 52 laws that they want Congress to pass immediately.

This time, the government isn't just focused on building roads and bridges. They are finally touching "taboo" issues in Philippine politics: the Anti-Political Dynasty Law and the Party-List System Reform Act. The goal is to follow what the Constitution actually says: to stop a few powerful families from controlling everything and to give the marginalized a real voice in government.

To fight corruption more aggressively, two major transparency laws are being pushed:

The BRIGHT Act: This would finally amend the Bank Secrecy Law, allowing the government to look into the bank accounts of public officials suspected of wrongdoing.

The CADENA Act: This aims to show the public exactly where their taxes go through real-time tracking of government spending.

This massive reform is an attempt to win back the trust of the Filipino people. By fixing the root causes of corruption and prioritizing education (through the Classroom-Building Acceleration Program), the government hopes to provide more stability for Filipino families. The big question now is whether our leaders have the "political will" to pass these laws without watering them down.

BUKLOD PANALANGIN: Prayer for the Nation

Heavenly Father, Judge of the Nations,

We come before You today acknowledging that righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Lord, we confess that for too long, we have tolerated a culture of patronage, dynasty, and hidden corruption. We repent for the times we have accepted "ghost governance" as normal, and for our own apathy in demanding truth and justice. We ask forgiveness for prioritizing names over merit, and comfort over integrity.

Lord, we lift up these proposed reforms to You. We pray that the push for an Anti-Political Dynasty Law and the lifting of Bank Secrecy would not be mere political theater, but a genuine turning of the tide. Grant our legislators the supernatural courage to vote for the common good, even when it conflicts with their own self-interest. Purify our institutions, Lord. Let the light of Your truth expose every hidden account and every compromised deal.

We pray for the Filipino family, especially the youth waiting for classrooms and the poor relying on social nets. Let these reforms result in tangible relief for the vulnerable, not just paper promises. Raise up a new generation of leaders who fear God and hate bribes. May justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream in our beloved Philippines.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The grip of a few families on Philippine politics remains one of our toughest structural hurdles. Even though the 1987 Constitution (Article II, Section 26) explicitly calls for equal access to public service, the lack of an actual anti-dynasty law has allowed these families to tighten their hold on both local and national seats.

Current Concern: The Persisting Challenge of Political Monopolies

The grip of a few families on Philippine politics remains one of our toughest structural hurdles. Even though the 1987 Constitution (Article II, Section 26) explicitly calls for equal access to public service, the lack of an actual anti-dynasty law has allowed these families to tighten their hold on both local and national seats.

Experts argue that this concentration of power is a direct barrier to "just and humane governance." It essentially tilts the playing field, making it nearly impossible for principled, competent leaders to break through if they don’t have a famous last name or massive resources. Data often shows a sobering trend: provinces dominated by "fat dynasties" tend to have lower human development and higher poverty rates, largely because the usual checks and balances simply disappear.

Because of this systemic deadlock, civil society and faith-based groups are now pushing for a strategy that goes beyond just voting every three years. The goal is to reclaim the "local public square" by showing up where it matters: Barangay Assemblies and Local Development Councils. These aren't just meetings; they are legally mandated platforms where any Filipino can influence how budgets are spent and hold officials accountable. It’s about ensuring governance finally serves the community’s needs, rather than the interests of a few.

BUKLOD PANALANGIN: Prayer for the Nation

Heavenly Father,

You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the only true Sovereign over this nation. We come before You acknowledging that all authority comes from You, to be used for the good of Your people and the stewardship of Your creation.

Lord, we come to You in repentance. We confess as a nation and as a church that we have often been complacent. We have surrendered our civic duties to the powerful, tolerated the monopoly of influence, and allowed a culture of patronage to overshadow the principles of justice and merit. Forgive us for the times we have traded our birthright for temporary relief, and for failing to speak truth to power when governance became a family business rather than a public trust.

We pray for the breaking of these walls that exclude the righteous and the capable. We ask for a shifting of the ground in our local communities. Embolden Your children to step into the gap, not just as voters, but as active participants in Barangay Assemblies and development councils. Give them the wisdom to ask the hard questions and the courage to demand transparency.

Raise up a new generation of leaders, Davids who will face the Goliaths of established systems, who are defined not by their last names, but by their integrity, their fear of the Lord, and their genuine love for the poor. May Your will be done in our barangays as it is in heaven.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Zechariah 7:19: Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor.

Governing for Those Without Lobbyists
LINGKOD BAYAN DEVOTIONAL
February 10, 2026

Read: Zechariah 7:9-10 (ESV)

"This is what the Lord Almighty said: 'Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.'"

Imagine you are Sir Manuel, a department head in a local government unit rapidly transitioning from a rural town to an urban city. You are currently reviewing a proposed zoning ordinance labeled 'The City Modernization Plan.'

On your desk sits a glossy proposal from a major real estate developer. They promise a state-of-the-art commercial hub that will boost local tax revenue, create BPO jobs, and modernize the skyline. The Mayor is excited; the investors are persuasive; the political pressure to approve the permit is immense.

However, looking at the map, you realize the designated area for this development is currently occupied by an informal settlement of three hundred families, mostly day laborers, vendors, and tricycle drivers, the modern-day equivalent of the biblical 'poor and sojourner.' The proposal mentions 'relocation,' but you know the designated relocation site is hours away from their sources of livelihood, lacking water and electricity.

The developer has high-powered lawyers and lobbyists wining and dining the council. The families living on the land have no appointments on your calendar, no connections, and no political leverage.

In the quiet of your office, you are faced with the tension between 'progress' as defined by the world and 'justice' as defined by God. You realize that if you do not speak up, the policy will pass effortlessly, crushing those with the least amount of political lobbying power.

Core Lesson

In the hustle of Philippine public administration, policies are often weighed by their economic utility or their popularity with the influential elite.

Yet, the prophet Zechariah provides a different metric for governance: the condition of the widow, the fatherless, the foreigner, and the poor. The Lordship of Christ extends to zoning laws, budget allocations, and relocation plans. To separate our faith from our policy decisions is to deny God’s sovereignty over the nation.

In a culture often driven by 'palakasan' (patronage), our Constitution declare that sovereignty resides in the people. Not just the wealthy people, but all people. The widow and the orphan are image-bearers of God.

True national development is not merely rising GDP or tall buildings; it is 'Shalom'—the wholeness and flourishing of every citizen. A government that sacrifices the poor for the sake of 'modernization' has failed its divine mandate to be a servant to the people.

The pressure Sir Manuel feels to ignore the poor is not just administrative stress; it is spiritual warfare against a government structure that bends toward evil. The systems of governance are in many cases rigged to favor the powerful. This is systemic sin. As a public servant and as a follower of Jesus, you are God's agent within the structure. It means using your position to be the lobbyist for those who have none.

Evaluating policies by their impact on the powerless is not just good social work; it is an act of spiritual warfare and true worship.

Prayer:

Almighty God, Ruler of the Nations, we humble ourselves before You. We confess that we have often measured success by numbers and accolades rather than by justice and mercy. We repent on behalf of our institutions for the times we have allowed the voices of the powerful to drown out the cries of the poor. Grant us, Your public servants, the courage to stand in the gap. Give us eyes to see the widow, the orphan, and the oppressed in our policy papers. Empower us to administer true justice that reflects Your heart for the least of these. May our work bring healing to our land and honor to Your name.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Exodus 23:8 (ESV) "Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent."

Blurred Vision: The Blindness of Compromise
LINGKOD BAYAN DEVOTIONAL
February 7, 2026

Read: Exodus 23:8 (ESV)
"Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent."

Roberto 'Bert' was a division chief in a licensing agency, known for his competence and sharp intellect. He was a man of the church and a loving father. As the fiscal year ended, a prominent contractor named Mr. Lim, who had several pending permit applications, visited Bert’s office. Mr. Lim didn't bring a suitcase of cash; that would be too crude. Instead, he brought news that he had secured a full scholarship slot for Bert’s daughter at a prestigious university where Mr. Lim sat on the board. He called it a 'gesture of friendship' and a 'helping hand for a bright student.'

Bert accepted the offer with a heavy heart of gratitude, viewing it as a blessing for his child’s future. He convinced himself that this personal favor would not affect his professional scrutiny of Mr. Lim’s pending permits. However, the next week, when he reviewed Mr. Lim’s documents, he noticed several compliance gaps regarding environmental safety standards. In the past, Bert would have immediately rejected the application. But now, he hesitated. He found himself rationalizing the errors: 'These are just technicalities,' he thought. 'Mr. Lim creates jobs; he is a good man.'

Without realizing it, Bert’s vision had blurred. The clear line between public safety and private interest had vanished into a fog of indebtedness. He approved the permit. Six months later, a minor landslide caused by the project's poor drainage system, which was one of the 'technicalities' Bert ignored, resulting in damage to three homes in a nearby poor community. Bert, the clear-sighted expert, had been blinded, and the innocent paid the price.

Core Lesson

The scripture in Exodus warns us of a specific physiological and spiritual reaction to bribery: blindness. Notice that the text says it blinds the 'clear-sighted.' This implies that even the most intelligent, competent, and technically proficient public servant is not immune. The Hebrew context suggests that a bribe covers the eyes, making it impossible to see reality as God sees it.

In the story, who suffered because of Bert’s blindness? It was the families in the poor community. When a public servant's judgment is clouded by self-interest or special favors, the 'shalom' or full flourishing of the community is broken. The Constitution is a covenant that reflects biblical values of equity; when we subvert rules for friends, we violate the dignity of the citizens who rely on the government for protection. We fail to treat the public as the true sovereign masters we are sworn to serve.

Many public servants think, 'I am a Christian at church, but in the office, I must be practical.' This is a lie. Christ is Lord over the licensing division just as He is Lord over the church. When we allow conflicts of interest, whether through cash, gifts, or the cultural pressure of 'utang na loob' (debt of gratitude), we are displacing the Lordship of Christ and bowing to the idol of Mammon. We cease to be agents of justice and become agents of transaction.

There is a spiritual reality that our eyes cannot see. We are fighting a spiritual war against structural evil. In the Philippines, the system of patronage (padrino) is a deep-seated structural sin. It masquerades as kindness or friendship, but it is a demonic trap designed to twist justice. As public servants, we must refuse to be swallowed by a corrupt culture in the bureaucracy. We must confess our not just our own slips, but we must ask God to heal our land from this culture of compromise. We must remain vigilant, understanding that a 'gift' is rarely just a gift; often, it is a blindfold.

Prayer

Almighty God, Ruler of the Nations, we acknowledge Your sovereignty over our offices and our decisions. We confess that we have often allowed our vision to be clouded by relationships, debts of gratitude, and the desire for security. Forgive us for the times we have justified compromise and ignored the strict requirements of justice. We repent on behalf of our government institutions for the culture of bribery and patronage that oppresses the poor and subverts the truth. Give us eyes to see clearly, a heart that values every Filipino as Your creation, and the courage to stand firm with integrity, resisting the structural evil around us.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you. (Deuteronomy 16:20)

The Weight of the Signature: Pursuing Justice Without Compromise
LINGKOD BAYAN DEVOTIONAL
February 1, 2026

Read: Deuteronomy 16:19-20 (ESV)
"Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you."

Ricardo, a dedicated Division Chief in a vital government agency, sat staring at the procurement documents on his desk. The project was noble: the rapid construction of health centers in a neglected province. The funding was available, and the need was urgent.

However, his Director had just left his office with a 'special request.' To expedite the process and ensure the funds weren't reverted to the treasury by year-end, the Director instructed Ricardo to tweak the Terms of Reference (TOR). The changes were subtle but designed to favor a specific contractor known for speed, but also known for being a political ally of the Department Secretary.

'Ric, look at the big picture,' the Director had argued, tapping the folder. 'If we follow the standard bidding protocol, this will take six months. The funds will expire. The people won't get their clinics. Just sign off on the adjustments. We are doing this for the poor. The ends justify the means.'

Ricardo felt the weight of the pen in his hand. He knew the 'favored' contractor often cut corners on materials to recover the cost of the kickbacks. Yet, the pressure was immense. If he refused, he would be labeled an obstructionist, a bureaucrat who cared more about red tape than people's lives. The temptation was to compromise his integrity for a seemingly righteous political goal: delivering service to the public.

Core Lesson

Ricardo’s dilemma is the daily bread of many Filipino public servants. It is the seduction of the 'shortcut' disguised as service. However, the command in Deuteronomy 16:20 is absolute: 'Justice, and only justice, you shall follow.' The repetition of the word 'justice' emphasizes that both the destination (the political goal) and the journey (the process) must be righteous.

When rules are bent to favor political allies (partiality), we rob the sovereign people of the fair competition that ensures quality and stewardship. Shortcuts in procurement often lead to substandard infrastructure, which directly endangers the lives of the very people created in God’s image whom we swore to serve. The Constitution, reflecting biblical values, mandates that public office is a public trust. We fail that trust when we employ dishonest means, effectively saying that the 'favored few' matter more than the rule of law.

We must recognize this pressure not just as an administrative hurdle, but as structural evil. The 'system' that pressures Ricardo to cheat in order to utilize funds is a manifestation of systemic sin. As public servants, we must be prepared to critique and resist its corrupt patterns. We repent on behalf of the institution, acknowledging that our bureaucracy has often normalized the philosophy that 'the ends justify the means.'

We cannot build a righteous nation using the bricks of partiality and dishonesty. We cannot claim to serve God on Sundays while cutting corners on Mondays. The Lordship of Christ extends to the Terms of Reference and the bidding committee. When we manipulate the rules, even for a 'good cause,' we declare that God’s standard of righteousness is insufficient for governance. True transformation happens when we realize that God is as interested in *how* we build the clinic as He is in the clinic itself.

Let us pray.

Almighty God, Ruler of all nations, I acknowledge Your Lordship over my office and my duties. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we have allowed the desire for results to overshadow the demand for righteousness. We repent for the structural sins of partiality and patronage that plague our institutions. Grant me the courage to refuse to compromise the truth for political expediency. Help me to value every Filipino as precious in Your sight by upholding justice in both my methods and my goals. May I follow justice alone, that our land may truly be healed.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

EDCOM 2 has issued a serious warning: the Philippine education system is in a state of emergency

Current Concern: EDCOM 2 Report Declares Education Crisis a "Civilizational Threat"

The Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM 2) has issued a serious warning: the Philippine education system is in a state of emergency. This isn't just about bad grades or old textbooks; it is a matter of "national survival."

Their Year Two report, "Fixing the Foundations," warns that the Philippines faces a critical deadline: the country’s "demographic window" will close by 2045. If our current students do not gain the right skills by then, we will be stuck with a workforce that cannot compete. The Philippines could hit a "productivity ceiling," where our economy stops growing because our workers aren't prepared for high-quality jobs.

The report highlights a "proficiency collapse," particularly in Grades 1–3. For years, a culture of "mass promotion" has allowed students to move to the next grade even if they cannot read or do basic math. It results in students reaching high school without the "foundational" skills needed to understand more complex lessons.

Furthermore, the report links poor school performance to stunting (being under-height for one’s age) caused by malnutrition. If a child does not get proper nutrition in their first 1,000 days of life, their brain development suffers permanently. We cannot fix education if we do not first fix child hunger.

While 2026 sees the implementation of legislative wins like the ARAL Program and the Enterprise-Based Education and Training (EBET) Act, the report emphasizes that laws are not enough. To save the system, the government must focus on:

- Improving Career Progression: Giving teachers better career paths and more time to teach by reducing their paperwork.
- Fixing the Agencies: Demanding a "moral recovery" and better coordination between DepEd, CHED, and TESDA.
- Local Action: Pushing Mayors and Barangays to prioritize the health and nutrition of infants and toddlers during the first 1,000 days of life.

BUKLOD PANALANGIN: Prayer for the Nation

Heavenly Father,

You are the Source of all wisdom and the Great Teacher of our souls. We come before You with heavy hearts, acknowledging the crisis facing the children of this land, Your precious inheritance.

Lord, we first come in repentance. We confess that as a nation, we have failed to protect and nurture the "least of these." We have allowed a culture of mediocrity to seep into our institutions, accepting "mass promotion" over true learning, and permitting corruption and inefficiency to steal the nutrition and resources our children desperately need. Forgive us for our apathy, for looking away while the foundations of our future crumbled, and for failing to value the minds and bodies of the next generation as You do.

We pray now for a radical restoration of our education system. We lift up the implementation of the ARAL Law and the efforts to fix our foundations. Grant our leaders in government, especially within the DepEd and LGUs, the integrity to prioritize the welfare of students over politics. We pray for our teachers, that they may be treated with dignity, paid justly, and unburdened from administrative chains so they may focus on molding minds.

Lord, heal the bodies of the malnourished and the minds of the struggling. Let this be the generation that breaks the cycle of poverty and ignorance. May we build a nation not just of workers, but of wise, righteous, and capable stewards of Your creation.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Nehemiah 2:18 - And they said, 'Let us rise up and build.' So they strengthened their hands for the good work.

Rebuilding the Walls of Trust: A Call to Restore Our Nation
LINGKOD BAYAN DEVOTIONAL
January 28, 2026

Read: Nehemiah 2:17-18 (ESV)
"Then I said to them, 'You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer derision.' And I told them of the hand of my God that had been upon me for good, and also of the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, 'Let us rise up and build.' So they strengthened their hands for the good work."

Imagine you are Ramon, a division chief in a municipal government office. For years, the public market renovation project has been stalled. It has become a standing joke in the community, a symbol of government inefficiency and broken promises. The structural beams are rusting, and the designated budget seems to evaporate every fiscal year. The vendors are crowded on the sidewalks, exposed to the heat and rain, while the citizens mock your office on social media, saying, 'Wala nang pag-asa ang gobyerno' (The government is hopeless).

Inside the office, morale is low. Your colleagues have succumbed to the 'puwede na 'yan' (that will do) mentality, resigned to the idea that the system is too corrupt to change. They tell you to just keep your head down, process the papers, and wait for retirement. But every time you drive past the unfinished skeleton of the market, you feel a burden. You see the hardworking vendors, the nanays and tatays working for their families who are deprived of a dignified place to earn a living. You realize that the ruins are not just physical; they represent the ruined trust between the government and the people it swore to serve.

Core Lesson
Nehemiah’s cry to rebuild the wall is a timeless mandate for the Filipino public servant today. The 'ruins' we see, whether they are potholed roads, delayed heavy inept bureaucracies, or corrupt practices cause our nation to suffer derision. To address this, we must look through three specific lenses.

First, we must reject the secular/sacred divide. God is not only interested in what happens inside the church but is deeply concerned with the state of our public markets, our roads, and our government systems. Christ is Lord over all, including the civil service. When you work to fix a broken system, you are engaging in a holy act of restoring order and righteousness. Your signature on a voucher, when done with integrity, is an act of worship.

You are in public office to serve the Sovereign Filipino People. The Constitution declares that sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them. Therefore, the government is the servant, not the master. We rebuild not for the sake of infrastructure alone, but because the people who will use it are created in the image of God. When we allow public services to rot, we insult the dignity of the Filipino. True 'Shalom' (development and peace) is achieved when every Filipino can flourish because their government serves them with excellence.

We need to acknowledge that there is structural evil, systemic corruption and bureaucratic apathy that keep the walls broken. Like Nehemiah, we do not ignore the sin of the past; we repent on behalf of the institution. We say, 'We have sinned,' acknowledging our corporate failure, and then we pivot to action. We do not leave the system; we stay inside it to redeem it. We rally our colleagues, not with complaints, but with a vision of restoration. By strengthening our hands for the good work, we rebuild not just cement and steel, but the very soul of our nation.

Prayer
Almighty God, we acknowledge that our nation lies in ruins in many ways, and for this, we are truly sorry. We repent for the times we accepted mediocrity and allowed corruption to break the trust of Your people. Grant us the courage to stand firm with integrity, resisting structural evil and championing justice. Remind us that every Filipino we serve is precious in Your sight. Strengthen our hands to rebuild the walls of our government, that we may bring honor to Your name and restore dignity to our land. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

TamaKa: Tamang Kandidato sa Eleksyon 2019

Tamang Kandidato Sa Eleksyon 2019 (TamaKa 2019) is a values-based voter transformation program for youth groups, churches and local communities.

Why the Need for TamaKa? Most voter education seminars prescribe how people should vote. When most people attend these seminars they feel they don’t need nor want the information they receive.

At the same time, voters feel challenged at getting to know the candidates running for office, but, they don’t have the time nor the energy to research and vet the candidates adequately. Even if they did, most of them are not aware of the assumptions and biases that drive their voting decisions.

It does not help that in the Philippines, money-politics continue to hold sway. Most voters are easily attracted to candidates with the loudest campaigns. Candidates with huge advertising budgets and extensive political organizations have an unfair advantage. So do celebrities and members of political dynasties who occupy people’s top-of-mind and will most likely be at the top of the list on election day.
