Proyekto Pilipino: Conversations on Civics and Politics
Si Mayor at Gov atbp
“Natutugunan ba ng local government officers ang mga kailangan ng kanilang komunidad?”
LGUs are the first responders to the immediate concerns on safety, health, and security of their communities. We have seen most especially how crucial their roles are in ensuring survival and safety—from ayuda to lockdown implementation to vaccine rollout—during the pandemic. This is why this coming election, we should be more discerning in studying and electing our local government officials. There will be 18,000 local seats that will be up for grabs this coming May 9. To help us understand better what these leaders will do once elected, join Fr. Tito Caluag and his friendly trio of distinguished thinkers—Dr. Leloy Claudio, Manolo Quezon, and Carlo Santiago—in this new episode of Proyekto Pilipino.

14. Tapos na ang buto-buto: What happens after election day?
57:59||Season 1, Ep. 14“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?
38:14||Season 1, Ep. 13Historically, 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
57:47||Season 1, Ep. 12Ano 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
29:09||Season 1, Ep. 11“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.To watch the full version of this conversation with Prof. Danilo Arao and Prof. Ipe Salvosa, from election watchdogs Kontra Daya and Tsek.ph, head to the Conscience Collective Youtube Channel here: https://youtu.be/i0mrIe2_rRE***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.

Star ng Halalan
31:45||Season 1, Ep. 10“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***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.

TV o FB: Usapang Media
33:36||Season 1, Ep. 9Ano nga ba talaga ang role ng media kapag halalan? Tagabalita lamang ba, tagapaliwanag, o public enemy #1?For centuries, the media as an institution has been the most credible and reliable source of news. But in this age of social media, more and more people are getting their information from untrusted and unverified sources, claiming that media organizations have lost their objectivity. The core of Journalism is simple: to inform and present the facts, educate, and inspire positive action. Join Fr. Tito Caluag and his friendly trio of distinguished thinkers—Dr. Leloy Claudio, Manolo Quezon, and Carlo Santiago—in this conversation on how today’s journalists are striving to uphold the Journalism ethics and standards of truth, accuracy, and objectivity amidst a difficult climate of misinformationTo watch the full version of this conversation with CNN Philippines President Armie Jarin-Bennett and veteran journalist Christian Esguerra, head to the Conscience Collective Youtube Channel here: https://youtu.be/-SgeHfe0_1Q***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.

Talas ng patalastas
32:18||Season 1, Ep. 8According to Pulse Asia, as of September 2021, 91% of Filipinos get their information from TV, 49% from radio, and 48% from the internet. The pandemic has changed the way we consume information, changing the way advertisement and information is delivered to us. But as social creatures, we are inclined to follow where social events and interactions are happening—and in this day and age, it’s on Facebook. Join Fr. Tito Caluag and his friendly trio of distinguished thinkers—Dr. Leloy Claudio, Manolo Quezon, and Carlo Santiago—to understand how advertising and PR is influencing our choices and votes this coming election.

Survey says
28:11||Season 1, Ep. 7“Ang survey ay isang snapshot ng panahon na nakalipas na at hindi para hulaan kung ano ang magiging kalalabasan ng halalan.”Surveys and polls are hot topics during the election season, especially since they give people an idea who is seemingly leading or garnering the most support. But sometimes, we forget that surveys are not predictions of the future, but merely a snapshot of the past of a small sample of the population. Join Fr. Tito Caluag and his friendly trio of distinguished thinkers—Dr. Leloy Claudio, Manolo Quezon, and Carlo Santiago—as they try to understand the role of surveys in the elections. How should we view and understand surveys? Are all surveys equal? Can surveys influence the outcome of the elections?
