Activism, today, is a concept too alienating for people to understand. The struggle towards toppling the Philippines’ most corrupt official (Ferdinand Marcos Sr.) seems like a distant past. For a generation cradled comfortably in the soft mattress of democracy, fighting against tyranny is but a misaligned notion popularized by the radical hippies in the 80s.

Its narrative is a refreshing take for a story that has been delivered multiple times in multiple ways.
