Manolo Quezon is #TheExplainer Newsletter - #ProyektoPilipino Omnibus
#ProyektoPilipino has made it to its second season. We may agree to disagree on history but civics can provide a shared approach to citizenship and governance.
We kick off this omnibus with our episode on Independence Day. From there, the show tackled personal independence: to think to study, and to express one's self.
With the start of the new administration, we began with something 16 out of 17 presidents have in common: the oath of office. What it says, and what it means, and how it came to be, and what it tells us about the presidency and our shared expectations of it. From there, we tackled the steps involved in forming a new administration: the Cabinet and the bureaucracy.
