While Joey-Con calls for prioritizing of the economy over covid-19, DOH threatens new lockdowns over marginally increased cases. Court cases in Progress. Cebu hits the news! Hand off our kids!
I don't have any ideas for what can be done in the Philippines in specific. But if you have connections in the U.S.A....
1) Politicians are exempt from zero laws in zero nations. 2) It IS illegal to a) mandate untested products, B) coerce or intimidate anyone OR their children to have them injected into them, C) as the articles of impeachment against Trump reminded us, take private $ while in public office (for OBVIOUS REASONS: like the ones you're all whining about right now) & D) give corporations "legal" (they aren't) protections from the harms done by their products.
So with the hundreds of sites out there also reporting on this have FAR more than enough people on board with ending the mandates than even the U.S. government could block or dismiss (especially as the public, once they see thousands of others on board with this would support it).
The trick is dealing with the fact that people are terrified of standing up to their authority figures. I have a way to counter that fear with the General Public, & if we win there, the rest of the world follows: if the jabs get banned there, then BANNING them becomes the Authority POV that THEY would have to counter.
Michael, 100% agree that the problem is that people will not stand up to their authority figures. We have suitable laws here. RA11525 which forbids discrimination on basis of covid-19 vaccination...
Thanks. So you know that the people's fears & reticence exist, & we can't just ignore them away. I'm not someone who keeps wishing things to BE better. Sometimes things need a push. I LOVE initializing positive changes. But this isn't easy.
My old idea was to have someone pose as a local news reporter & ask people on the street "excuse me; Did YOU VOTE to allow cancer-causing products to be sprayed onto your food?"
Being asked by another surrogate authority figure, media, gives people the impression they're receiving Official Permission to speak candidly. A reporter without a camera crew looks like a sexual predator, so having a real camera crew would not only bestow credibility, it will serve to record every angry yet articulate rant against the corporations that we get.
People seeing & hearing everyday people speaking openly against Corporate privilege will forget their own fears of doing the same. With websites for people to sign onto, feeling that A Movement that gives them hope has a chance, that would have been an excellent way to start a grass roots movement growing quickly - in the U.S.A.
That last condition isn't simply an excuse. Who outside of Canada knows that two things Monsanto-related got stopped here? Likely not even Canadians.
The thing is, having someone in authority make people feel free to express themselves causes them to do just that. We'd NEED mass public support because those in power will block anything that DOESN'T have it.
If you could tweak this in some way that WOULD work in the Philippines, by all means, try it. But I have the feeling that, like in Canada, they have SO"ME fear of their own political Authority Figures, & a lot MORE fear of the American ones. So they would likely back away from the reporter.
Everyone feels vulnerable & exposed UNTIL someone else goes. So, it's really the start that's the hardest.
Once we get dozens, everything snowballs. Not only that, anyone running a site like this that DOESN'T support something positive once it starts appearing like it can succeed loses face. So they rest join. AFTER that it's clear sailing, & no one would see it coming.
But it would be more effective if the First Few people were in the same place as well.

The good news is that all indications suggest that once we get a few other people on board, this helps break down the mental resistance of others. https://www.corbettreport.com/the-bystander-effect-solutionswatch-video/ & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s4SUh6wrCM. The BAD news is, "Who wants to be FIRST?"
