Here we get to know about Marc’s background, his motivations for running, even with limited resources, and his strategies to make the most out of this experience. We then discuss his “Payamanin ang Pilipino” agenda, a platform for generating jobs, adding financial literacy in school curriculums, a Philippine ICT high school, and a national social media plan. I also took the opportunity to bring up the largely untapped potential of the creative industry and the problems it had been facing for decades. We then talk more local politics including the Marcoses and the Dutertes, paid political vloggers, the quality of pinoy social media influencers and how intellectualism can be established in the Filipino psyche.
