Manuel "Manolo" Quezon III's talk (iBlog4)

Manolo was getting depressed. He wakes up with high blood every morning...and that's because of the commenters. He went out with some bloggers and he got more depressed.

* Start looking at the basic human aspect.

* How do we know how things are supposed to work? What's our point of reference?

* In the perfect world, how is election supposed to be?

* Explaining and advocacy?

* Manolo is the type of person who picks a side.

* There's a belief that no matter what the result of the election is, wala naman kinalaman sa life/work ko yan. In a sense, it's true. But in the end, you will be affected by what these people do. Be a pain in the ass during electiom time. They know that you have the power of one, and it can be magnified.

* The weakness of traditional media is its limitation.

* Every place has one pakialamero who's going to be a pain in the ass.

* Some of you have to be martyrs.

* Explain how a system works, pick a side, and work on that side either on macro or micro basis.


* You're never really gonna make good money in political blogging.

* We agree that something's wrong, and the professionals have done nothing about it.

* We will be of little significance in 2010.

* 2016 is the year, from the simple view of demographics.

* Sidenote: Chiz was the only one who understood, even a little, about the internet (online campaigning).

* Why do we all love to fight online ANYWAY? :) And it's not because we're masochists. It's the basic human need to watch something unfold, hear and be heard.
