“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.”

Historically, 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.”

Ano 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.
