Amidst the celebration of Pacquiao’s fight, I am even more exhilarated by a 1 minute video I first saw during the fight.
First, here’s the clip. Second (after the clip), let me tell you how I feel and what I think about this whole campaign.
What is AKO MISMO?
From what I’ve seen and read, AKO MISMO is a campaign.
It’s a campaign for Filipinos to take action towards helping the Philippines rise and move forward.
It’s a campaign to help instill the awareness in Pinoys to take action instead of complain or blame.
We each have a role in making our country great! Not just somebody else’s role.
It’s MY role! It’s OUR role to make the Philippines a great country!
(read what the www.akomismo.org website says about the campaign).
AKO MISMO - my own thoughts, my own words.
JM and I share the same feeling about seeing this video. Nakaka-pangilabot!
Frankly, the first time I saw the ad, I was half-expecting to see an endorsement for another politician.
Pero dehins, men!
This ad was about us Filipinos taking-charge! This campaign is about us Filipinos taking responsibility for our beloved country and doing our share, each in our own way.
In an exchange of messages via Facebook, JM and I reminisced about our NAMFREL volunteer days.
That role of helping our country, that’s the feeling I’m feeling now!
And it’s so exciting finding out that hundreds of thousands of Filipinos are taking a stand and making a commitment to help our country.
All star cast
Ely Buendia, Charise Pempengco, Maxine Magalona (and truly and strongly I feel Francis M is in there too!), Mon Fernandez, Efren (Kuya F, behind a kariton school ), Luis Manzano, a priest, a muslim lady, a medical technician, Angel Locsin, Arnel Pineda, a women’s rights advocate, a Pinoy Hollywood director, and more …
These are the people who captured and communicated, in this video, the commitment for our country! Ang galing! Ang galing!
The www.akomismo.org website
I visited the website just an hour ago. And I am overwhelmed! In a span of 7 hours, they’ve gathered 14,000 commitments on the wall of commitments from thousands of Filipinos.
My first commitment was to spread the word through my blog - www.akomismo.org . And I’m doing it right now!
