AKO MISMO vs ANO TAYO

Ako Mismo (Chris Tiu) | Are we being mislead?

According to the website of Ako Mismo:

Ako Mismo is a patriotic initiative anchored on optimism. It is a battle against indifference and the feeling that the individual is helpless. Amidst all the bad news and negativism gripping the nation, Ako Mismo provides a refreshing message of hope and empowerment. It is an apolitical and inclusive movement to energize and rejuvenate Filipinos, especially the youth, and move them to action. It is our collective desire that the action arising from our individual commitments as Ako Mismo advocates will mobilize a groundswell of change, contributing to a bright future for our country.

Sad reality about these kind of “advocacies” (e.g. iamninoy), they tend to lack the “real drive”. Yes they are well publicized but the fact that their advocacies really do not make noise on the drive they are pushing through, rather,  they become mere fashion statements. They are indeed cool but come to think of it, who did realize what they put on the “wall of commitment”? Yes, I thought so. Nobody.

The entire act of putting up the “advocacy” is to help people have this focus onthe goal of a better tomorrow for our nation. It seems that we are but mere citizens blinded by fad. (warning, cliche ahead) Sad, but yes, true.
