The Silent Majority: Empowered and Vigilant in the Face of Political Turmoil


In the face of the current political turmoil in the Philippines, people are expressing their sentiments in a peaceful manner. This peaceful expression of disappointment highlights a broader perspective: it is increasingly difficult to contain and manipulate the populace through propaganda. The public is clearly not buying into the lies aimed at obscuring the real situation.

While technology can be a tool for those in power to control media information, it also empowers ordinary citizens. People now have the means to uncover the truth, filter out misinformation, and discern what is genuine. Unlike in the past, today's populace is more informed and educated. Although some individuals are vocal about their sentiments, the majority remain quiet, informed, and vigilant. This silent majority, though seemingly powerless, holds the potential to significantly alter the political landscape.

This is a crucial point to consider. Within society, there are always individuals who may not know the entire story but are willing to follow the majority's direction. This herd mentality can amplify the number of people sharing the same sentiments, further strengthening the collective voice. These are challenging times for those who seek to manipulate the truth and mislead the public. The informed and vigilant majority poses a formidable challenge to such efforts.
