Amidst the celebration of Pacquiao’s fight, I am even more exhilarated by a 1 minute video I first saw during the fight.

How can I help?
Many ways to help in nation-building.
First, here’s the clip. Second (after the clip), let me tell you how I feel and what I think about this whole campaign.
What is AKO MISMO?
From what I’ve seen and read, AKO MISMO is a campaign.
It’s a campaign for Filipinos to take action towards helping the Philippines rise and move forward.
It’s a campaign to help instill the awareness in Pinoys to take action instead of complain or blame.
We each have a role in making our country great! Not just somebody else’s role.
It’s MY role! It’s OUR role to make the Philippines a great country!
(read what the www.akomismo.org website says about the campaign).
AKO MISMO – my own thoughts, my own words.
JM and I share the same feeling about seeing this video. Nakaka-pangilabot!
Frankly, the first time I saw the ad, I was half-expecting to see an endorsement for another politician.
Pero dehins, men!
This ad was about us Filipinos taking-charge!
This campaign is about us Filipinos taking responsibility for our beloved country and doing our share, each in our own way.
In an exchange of messages via Facebook, JM and I reminisced about our NAMFREL volunteer days.
That role of helping our country, that’s the feeling I’m feeling now!
And it’s so exciting finding out that hundreds of thousands of Filipinos are taking a stand and making a commitment to help our country.
All star cast
Ely Buendia, Charise Pempengco, Maxine Magalona (and truly and strongly I feel Francis M is in there too!), Mon Fernandez, Efren (Kuya F, behind a kariton school ), Luis Manzano, a priest, a muslim lady, a medical technician, Angel Locsin, Arnel Pineda, a women’s rights advocate, a Pinoy Hollywood director, and more …
These are the people who captured and communicated, in this video, the commitment for our country! Ang galing! Ang galing!
The www.akomismo.org website
I visited the website just an hour ago. And I am overwhelmed! In a span of 7 hours, they’ve gathered 14,000 commitments on the wall of commitments from thousands of Filipinos.
My first commitment was to write about www.akomismo.org . And I’m doing it right now!
- Ka Edong Pledge number 1: Write about www.akomismo.org – Done!
My excitement
Why am excited about all this?
I feel it’s the unity of EDSA revolution
on an individual level,
and with the common awareness of each other’s commitment,
and the awareness that we’re in this together!.
Let me just write in bullets.
- It’s about time! It’s about time we Filipinos band together and take action in making our country rise!
- The timing was perfect! At a time when Manny Pacquiao takes to the ring and makes the Filipino proud and united – perfect time for the Filipinos to take this to the next level.
- Nakaka-pangilabot! I watched the video again and again and I know this is big.
- I pray to the good Lord that this campaign will touch the hearts of millions of Filipinos the way it has touched me!
- Is this a tipping point for the Philippines?
- Where’s Gang Badoy and Rock.Ed Philippines? Are they involved? Get them involved! This is a campaign that Rock.Ed Philippines has been doing for many years. “No more excuses, Philippines!” “Tama na reklamo, kumilos nalang tayo!” They have much to contribute in helping in this campaign. Include http://www.onetama.com/ as well!
- I see there are thousands of commitments already on the commitment wall. I see people committing to be a better Filipino, to committing to not litter, committing to pray for the Philippines, committing to join volunteer work, committing to make a video for Filipinos etc.
- This wall of commitments is powerful! It sends a powerful message that “I will do my part” to help our country and thousands more are doing their part! Powerful!
- I see that some of these commitments come from people who didn’t understand what they were writing (e.g. “ako mismo ang mag-search”, “ako mismo kakain na ako”, “ako mismo web developer”, “ako mismo sign up”) — these obviously came from people who didn’t understand that what they were writing was going to be published in the form of a commitment on the commitment wall. The website must help people understand better what committments we are looking for.
- What I fear is that people might start vandalizing the commitment wall with kalokohan. I’ve already seen some bordering on kalokohan. The web-administrator of www.akomismo.org better be ready for attacks like that. We can’t avoid that there will be people who will try to ruin a good thing.
- Where can I get the Ako Mismo dog tags!? I want to wear it, and I will wear it proud!
- Ako Mismo dog tags – I want!
Now what!?
My action steps:
- Commitment #1: write about www.akomismo.org — done
- tell my friends about it — done
- get an ako mismo dog tag – done (june 12)
- sign-up for more commitments — ako mismo ang gagawa ng sarili kong commitments! — done ; But wait, there’s more!

sa mga isyu na kinakaharap ng gobyerno patungkol sa kaban ng bayan na kanilang ninakaw,nakalimutan nyo nba ang zte?ang pondo na ginamit sa libro para sa pambublikong paaralan?
sa mga proyekto na nakabinbin pero bayad na ang mga gagawa?at sa patuloy na plano ng pangulo na baguhin ang sistema ng gobyerno sa pamamaraang pansirili(parliamentary)personal na interest.
sana ay mas lalo pa tayo maging listo sa mga usapin at maging matalino sa mga desisyon na ating gagawin lalo na at malapit na naman ang eleksyon. salamat sa ako mismo.eto na ngayon ang magiging bagong boses ng pilipino
para baguhin ang buong bansa,
dapat simulan natin sa pinaka simple,
iyon ay simulan ang pagbabago sa ating sarili,
matuto na tayong MAKINIG, buksan ang isipan,..
dalawa lang ‘to sa mga simpling bagay na magagawa natin sa mga asarili natin!

@ salakot
tingin ko ikaw kaibigan ang ignorante
bakit mo pinagsama ang pilosopo sa ignorante
alam mo ba ibig sabihin ng pilosopiya kaibigan..
yan ang dahilan kung bakit madaling nauuto
mga Pinoy, dahil sa kakulangan sa angkop at tamang edukasyon o pilosopiya..
yun lang..at bakit nawala ang reply doon ni awtomatik sa post ni salakot..ang mga mali dapat itinatama..dahil grabe ang politika sa bansa natin, matindi ang gamitan..
kapag hindi kritiko mag-isip–maguguyo ka ng wala kang malay..

Do you have a way of screening the people who wants to be a member of “AKO Mismo”. Are they really dedicated in doing the objective of the “AKO Mismo” or they are only for the dog tag. At present, alam mo naman ang ibang tao (in general) Kung ano ang uso sumasakay sila.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
