00:00.3
Bam, are you running again? Tatakbo ka ba ulit in 2025?
00:05.5
Karen, naghahanda na kami at handa na rin ako bumalik sa larangan ng politika.
00:10.3
Handa ako maging boses ng walang boses sa Senado. I'm ready and we're preparing for it.
00:14.5
Okay, what made you decide to run again?
00:17.1
Well, alam mo, makikita mo yung bansa natin, ang rami mga kababayan natin, pakiramdam nila, hindi sila napapakinggan.
00:24.4
Nag-aaway yung mga partido, yung pag-focus ngayon sa presyo ng bilihin, sa taas ng sahod, hindi talaga siya nabibigyan ng pansin.
00:31.6
And I think more people who want to bring back the issues dun sa pangangailangan ng taong bayan need to engage and be part of the political process.
00:39.9
Okay, so pag-usapan natin, matindi ang talo ng otso derecho noon.
00:46.1
And then, former Senator Laila de Lima announced that you, Shell Diokno, and Senator Kiko Pangilinan would be running all together.
00:54.9
In the Liberal Party, which you're not. So isa pa yun.
00:58.0
Actually, kami ni Shell Diokno are not part of the Liberal Party. Shell and I are part of KNP.
01:04.3
So kwento ko ng konti, Karen, yung genesis ng KNP.
01:07.7
After 2019, umalis na ako sa Liberal Party, but because I was a private citizen, di na namin siya nilabas sa publiko.
01:15.0
And in 2021, when we were preparing for VP Lenny at that time to run, nabuo yung KNP.
01:23.5
At yung nagbuo nito.
01:24.9
Mga young board members, young councillors, all of these young leaders, very dynamic, very innovative, malalim yung pagmamahal sa bayan.
01:33.0
Binoon nila yan para may ibang vehicle si Atty. Lenny na tumakbo in 2022.
01:38.8
Na hindi LP. In the end, she decided to run as an independent.
01:42.0
And after the elections, nag-usap-usap sila. At this time, I was still advising them.
01:47.8
Itutuloy pa ba yung partidong to?
01:49.8
And sabi nila, ang laki nang naipakita natin nung kampanya.
01:53.0
Hindi man tayo nagwagi, pero yung paglabas ng tao, yung klarong paghangad ng tao for something better in our country, nakita natin, naramdaman natin yan.
02:02.6
Sayang naman kung mawawala.
02:04.2
And now that we're one year before 2025 and everyone's preparing already, hiniling nila na maging chairman ako ng partido.
02:11.8
Pero sino ang nasa KNP? So you have civil society, kabataan?
02:16.1
We actually have a lot of incumbents.
02:18.7
We have people like board member Kirby Salazar, si Councilor Marcos.
02:23.0
Maya Bongco, Councilor Burns Olivares, former Councilor Maybelline de la Cruz.
02:27.0
These are all young leaders. Sila yung superstar in their own provinces.
02:31.6
At sila rin yung naging provincial heads nung campaign ni VP Lenny in 2022.
02:35.9
So marami dito, nakasama ko na sa kampanya nung 2022, nagbuo.
02:40.7
And the groups are still there, Karen.
02:42.7
Yun yung magandang pangitain dito is that at the end of 2022, agad-agad marami sa kanila nag-organize na ulit.
02:49.9
They organized again and they invited me to go.
02:53.0
And go all over the Philippines to meet all the volunteers.
02:56.4
At nakita ko na kahit di natin nakamit yung gusto natin in 2022, yung paghahangad ng mas magandang bansa, nandun pa rin.
03:04.3
So the challenge was, itutuloy ba natin ito to 2025 and beyond?
03:10.2
And the answer was yes.
03:12.0
Isa itong magandang gawin para sa taong bayan.
03:14.7
And when they asked me to lead the party as chairman, pumayag ako.
03:18.1
And now I am the chairman of the newest political party in the Philippines.
03:23.0
What's interesting is the fact that most Filipinos have lived with a Marcos Aquino history.
03:29.5
And here you are, you are running as senator again with your former nemesis, the family's nemesis, as a sitting president.
03:38.3
Hindi mo ba napag-isipan yun na, o ba't ako tatakbong senador ngayon na ang nakaupo si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.?
03:46.3
Actually, Karen, sa totoo lang yung paghangad mo na tumulong, hindi mo talaga masyadong naiisip sino ba yung nakaupo.
03:53.0
Hindi mo talaga masyadong naiisip sino ba yung nakaupo.
03:53.8
Basta ang intention ko lang, makatulong ulit sa taong bayan.
03:57.4
Now, if you look at our history, may President Marcos Sr., may Senator Aquino, and then nung time ni Pinoy, may President Aquino at may Senator Marcos.
04:05.3
That's so interesting.
04:05.8
Who's now the president, diba?
04:07.6
So baka nga kailangan ng balance in the force, sabi nila.
04:11.1
Hindi ko alam. I don't know.
04:12.4
But that's so interesting that when Pinoy was president, BBM was a senator.
04:18.4
And that was a surprise too because that was his first term.
04:23.0
But alam mo, honestly, beyond family names, ang nakikita ko talaga, maraming issue yung mga kababayan natin na hindi nabibigyan ng tamang pansin.
04:32.3
Yung presyo ng bilihin, pagtaas ng sahod, our education crisis, napakaraming issue na kailangang itackle.
04:38.3
And hindi madadali yung mga issue ng tukarin eh.
04:41.1
But clearly, you believe your voice is needed.
04:44.4
Of course. They're very complicated issues. Hindi silang madadaling i-resolve.
04:48.9
Maraming kang kailangan banggain para makamit mo yung mga kailangan mo makamit para sa taong bayan.
04:53.0
At kailangan natin ng mga tao na handang magtrabaho, handang panindigan yung mga walang boses, handang bumangga kung kailangan bumangga.
05:00.8
And I'd like to think, kaya natin yan.
05:03.5
And sana, yung iba pang mga kababayan natin na kaya rin nila, sana tumakbo rin sila at maging part nitong political process natin.
