Let's wield it towards building our re-imagined nation.

We are the Filipino Youth. We are the strong 56% of this nation.  This coming #Halalan2022, our vote wields great power accounting for more than half of the total voting population.

Like our predecessors from the generations of old, we will be at the forefront of a genuinely democratic, socially just, and people-centered transformation.

With this power, we have the greatest impact to be able to secure our rights and the rights of future generations. We vow to maximize our collective power by reaching out to fellow youth to campaign for a human rights and democracy platform agenda.

We vow to contribute to the shaping of our society by asserting our human rights, safety, and freedom be upheld for all. 

We vow to contribute to the shaping of our society by calling for adequate access to education, healthcare, and basic needs that sustain human life.

We vow to contribute to the shaping of our society by standing up for our social and cultural rights that underline the meaning of our daily lives and existence.

We vow to build a nation of heroes where all citizens are able to live and participate to their best human potential, and to build a genuinely democratic society respectful of human rights.

We urge all youth of this generation to participate in building our reimagined nation by campaigning an agenda founded on democracy, inclusive participation, rights and freedoms, crafted by the Filipino Youth and for the benefit of the Filipino Youth.

#HALALAN2022: Ensuring a People-Powered, Rights-Centered, and Just Leadership in 2022-2028 and Beyond

The last decade has been pummeled with attacks and negligence towards the Filipino peoples’ rights, freedoms, and aspirations. And in just the last 6 years, under a de facto authoritarian leadership, the quality of living of the peoples has sunk even more as their lives are threatened, livelihoods become insecure, and lifestyles destroyed through widening social divides.

Even the act of addressing these issues were deemed harmful. Human rights and human rights activism are tagged as antagonistic to government through dominant and orchestrated narratives, disinformation and historical distortion promoted by the current authoritarian regime and political forces seeking power during the 2022 Elections. Shrinking civic spaces and weakened civil society communities due to limitations to physical assembly because of the pandemic as well as chilling effect due to fear of trolls, online harassment, unjust cancel culture, and cyberlibel.

In the wake of the global pandemic, leadership response and recovery that is riddled with incompetence and corruption to the detriment of Filipinos’ life, livelihood, and lifestyle and democratic processes. Self-interest and short-term gains trumps public good and long-term gains so even the positive perception of human rights does not translate to actions in support of human rights.

We need to turn this around. Along with the perpetual struggle to better our nation, we have an opportunity to contribute to positive transformation this coming elections.

 

We must advance the movement founded on a culture that has respect for human rights and freedoms rooted in truth and pakikipagkapwa. This culture and institutionalized in democratic governance is necessary for society, communities, and individuals to develop and achieve their fullest potential in all aspects of their life, livelihood, and lifestyle.

What Needs to Happen:
A genuinely just and democratic nation built and maintained by a rights-respectful state and fully-developed Filipino peoples.
