How can this rant be translated to real action?  What is the “platform” of this rant?  Improve public education so Pinoys elect better leaders?  Even if we were able to improve the steadily eroding quality of public education (recent studies show massive deterioration!) it would take a few decades before this has any impact.

Hi UFC:

There are two tracks – the strategic and the tactical.

Strategically – more civics in our curriculum at all levels.

Tactically (during the electoral process) – more information on the candidates, more debates and townhall meetings that separate the chaff from the grain. Couple this with a strong drive to creatively present the issues to voters, and provide frameworks for evaluating candidates.
