While having lunch, a bachelor student randomly asked if I had time for a conversation. And we just talked about research, managing stress, and expectations at Uni. What a day! That was heavy. Happy weekend. 😌

@RichHeydarian us from Mindanao find this statement unsettling. Maybe you can explain further and provide comprehensive evidence-based data? What do you know about our ‘human development index’ in Mindanao that we do not know and experience?

To all friends and supporters of VP Sara, paki check niyo naman okay pa ba siya. Lol.
Sinabi ni Vice Pres. #SaraDuterte na hindi mahilig manggipit ng kalaban ang kaniyang ama na si dating pangulong #RodrigoDuterte.
Maging si dating vice president Atty. Leni Robredo at mga kaibigan niya ay hindi aniya ginipit ng dating pangulo. #News5

I had the opportunity to present the preliminary discussions of my thesis at @DeakinREDI’s symposium on ‘Young People in Public Life’ and to reunite with fellow sociologists. It’s always a pleasure to be surrounded by inspiring and supportive academic community. #PhDLife

On 1 September, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Philippines and our DelDem team co-organised the #ShareKoLang, a deliberative forum on ‘community aspirations’ with 24 randomly selected citizens. Their aspirations are deeply relational, often intertwined with the #aspirations of others.
Thanks to KAS Philippines and the DelDem team for this initiative in understanding aspirations, which aligns perfectly with one of the central themes of my PhD project. 🫶

In partnership with the @Asia_Foundation Philippines, our #DelDem team spent time with #Makatizens deliberating #SOGIESC issues and anti-discrimination ordinances through community assemblies and city-wide forum. It’s inspiring and we’re not yet done... #deliberativedemocracy
No need to apologise @ejobienapv. You worked hard! Thank you for representing 🇵🇭. 💪
Filipino pole vaulter EJ Obiena became emotional after placing fourth in the men's pole vault finals at the Olympic Games.
Obiena opened up about the pain of missing out on an Olympic medal and clarifies he is supportive of the #Paris2024 medalists.

“While the road ahead is fraught with challenges, Bangladesh’s youth have demonstrated their readiness to fight for their rights and their future.” #BangladeshProtests
Great insights, @intifar2210 💪
Historic moment of independence 🇧🇩
The underlying economic and social ills that led to the protests are largely youth issues.
The current power vacuum presents a significant opportunity to politically empower the country’s youth.
