where do we go from here?

after that uber-inspiring tear-jerking 12-hour funeral service (never thought we would relive that '83-'86 spirit...),



i got to thinking... what now?

saw this ad on the paper yesterday:


(consumerism does it again, dontchatink?)

and thought: yes national pride is good... but i think we have more than enough 'i love pinoy' graphic tees and what-nots going around.



i'm hoping to just bring it a notch higher: from national pride to SOCIAL ACTION.

it ain't enough to say "we're proud to be pinoy". that's passe.

let's campaign for concrete actions that will really bring us forward.

like for example, being anti-bribery... let's say with these logos:

(this ala-hindi ka nag-iisa)


(this in mmda colors)


i know, i know, a bit pilit and uninspired. but you get the drift, yes?

we can go for anti-vandalism, anti-complacency, pro-proper wages, anti-jay-walking, pro-traffic-rules, pro-proper-taxes, etc etc.

any ideas?

the "anti-lagay" design at a certain angle or blocking might look "anti-gay". or is it just me?

but yeah. wearing nationalistic shirts is one thing, but doing something good for the country is much better.

oo nga no... it could look anti-gay... now we don't want that!

yes, maybe we shall make this 'doing something good for the country' a movement very soon...
