[Music]
with you
[Applause]
right
[Music]
been a happy one
Kemosabe
got it
it was a vanilla
[Music]
like this y'all know what saving you
madam na kotoba
only
you think
[Music]
[Music]
it's only here in the Philippines
whereby you could see giveness as a form
of public transport no wonder some of
the to be sphere they fancy seeing
degrees but then sight is one thing
problem on the roads is another first of
all all of our deepness here are
disempowering some of these engines are
already dilapidated you need to say they
need over wholly if not replacement
because if you run your engine this of
engine for so long a time you create
unnecessary or unwanted pollution in our
atmosphere that's that lady should be
corrected our different drivers here in
our country not discipline they don't
have much about road manners they just
stop in the middle of the road without
regard to the vehicles behind them they
are holding the power
what if they're creating traffic they
stop to load or unload passengers
it's useless to exchange words with them
people like me I'm not supposed to go
down their level
I'm not undermining their intellect for
their intelligence but it's useless
what's important is for the government
or local government or whatever Bureau
agency that has authority over the
franchisees the driver should have a set
of guidelines or policies Road
regulations like imposing stiff
penalties for stopping in the middle of
the road they should have identified
areas where in they could stop to unload
passengers not just in the middle of the
street I wouldn't say I totally their
behavior it's a matter of accepting the
way they are like I said they're just
the jitney drivers I'm not saying all of
them but generally speaking they love
road matters and Philippines is not rich
country we are still our economy is
still emerging a big part of our society
or our population jeepney writing
citizen similar to MRT writing citizens
those are public form of transportation
which we gotta get rid of otherwise a
big part of our population will be
affected you cannot get rid of GPS it's
it's already part of our society it's
part of our day-to-day lives
I myself benefited from
from writing gymnast during my college
days school days and Gibney's standard
form of public transport it will be
selfish of me to be betting more wish to
get rid of them what would become of the
poor class of our society they don't
have needs to transport what's important
is for us the government and in turn to
regulate the operating operation of
[Music]
usually disturbed by poverty and the
persistence of poverty and so it's been
a lifelong occupation study poverty it
led from one thing to another they led
me to governance my research led me to
participate in NGOs that were involved
in good governance and the question is
what makes the marginalized so
marginalized ultimately it's because of
the rationalities that they've been
operated another rationality it was
really important if we wanted to build
democratic societies that we consider
the Russian artists as another
legitimate rationality that we needed to
respect and to build on as well I'm
really so disturbed because not one it's
the gap between the rich and the poor
getting wider but there's this weird
phenomenon that I personally can't
extreme of this rise of intolerance it's
philia rise of intolerance and violence
two words takes that to just stick to
show that it's really Donald Trump right
but then also the Eagle is part of that
phenomenon what got him into power was
anger and intolerance and you can see it
from Facebook a lot of his fans just
it's just about anger they don't match
Western forms of Citigroup basically
that's it they're just not part of the
whole modern Western conception of what
a city should be or could be so they
conceived to be polluters and also
because traffic because of the way we
they're already stopped Chaitra so yeah
they just don't fit in westernized
global city concept which is the which
we they're trying to correct now right
because there's this new loss now that
they're looking at how to modernize GP
drivers are cities really organic okay
it's not a plant growth city which
drives all these Western chain people
crazy most people in the city most and I
say most because I think majority of the
people in the city have more or less
traditional rationality is imposed on a
city setting we're forcing these people
of traditional rationality is to fit in
a modernized westernizing city and
that's where the clash comes in you know
these people they drive and operate and
just act in general as if they were
still in rural roads which I'm not that
busy which are quite relaxed which are
not that stressful but the thing is
we're imposing on them certain stressful
realities like if you don't make
boundary you won't make a living but at
the same time they're not buying into
the whole thing anyway so these people
are kind of poor name whether am i
buying into this whole city concept I
have to make a living but at the same
time I'm not really into their ruins I
really don't understand the rationality
of their rules I just know that I have
to live in the city these people from
the traditional rationale is they're not
really understanding fully what the
whole traffic rules concept jeepney
stops concept is about they just know
the only way I can see okay greater
democratization you know genuine
building solidarity listen to the poor
listen to the margins open up your
governance system so that their voices
can be heard try to figure out real
structure so that the people who have
been neglected and marginalize can
actually speak and be heard and that
build governance systems so that their
own concerns and their own ways of doing
things are actually incorporated into
their systems the only way out of this
is if we get our acts together and I
think not discourse and democracy are
the only ways to do it I think it should
start with small communities getting
together really building the communities
of discourse then you know it gets wider
and wider but well technically we can't
escape people like us first who are in
this rationality of ours university
trained people and middle class people
you know there's always gossip in the
gap between the traditional rationality
and the dominant rationality and most of
the dominant rationale is really geared
towards exploitation I mean that's how
they became dominant I think we're maybe
interesting because if you're college
educated especially in Ateneo I think
they're trying to explain the naman
though that's why there's always that's
why there's one listener
and Jeep and an immersion Sol really
come on meet the other rationale it's
not enough but at least it's a start
to make you aware it exists it's another
rationality how can you be a bridge
because that's what that's how I roll
let me be a doors because we can cross
rationality
I think we can develop more people who
can cross rationality son be able to
discourse and track is our history
you'll see them like the some of the
other Stratos tried to be that and then
and then all these movements like the
communist movement the socialist
movement there were all bridges said
they were all mediator say and and then
like now today the manag reformer stance
that's basically where so we have the
strength and that but this time not to
look at Western Western development as
the end
let's leave the end open and actually
dialogue and cross those you know cross
between nationalities have them talk to
each other
