PAGASA
TRANSFORMING THE PHILIPPINES FROM THE INSIDE OUT
PEOPLES ASSEMBLY FOR GENUINE ALTERNATIVES TO SOCIAL APATHY

The time for change is here. If you are tired of the corruption, lies, cheating and moral decline but also realize that any kind of change begins inside each individual--inside you--then you have come to the right place. We were founded in response to the Hello Garci scandal and the consequent apathy we perceived during the time, hence our name, “Peoples Assembly for Genuine Alternatives to Social Apathy”. We felt the urgency to stem that tide of apathy because if there is apathy there is no hope for movement towards change. When nothing happened in the streets, we decided to re-convene and address the real, deeper issues. It was clear to us that any true and lasting change begins inside. From there, we developed a workshop that explores the relationship between the inner realms of the individual and their manifestations in society. Since then we have experienced cause for true hope--PAGASA--as individuals from all over the Philippines (and other countries) have committed to being the change that will propel this country forward towards wholeness again. There are no TRAPOS here. We are mothers, fathers, cultural creatives, businessmen, who share one thing in common: an authentic drive to heal, transform, renew and rebuild this country so that every Filipino can reach his highest potential as a human being. We are here to help build this nation on the strength of truth and integrity. There is hope and it begins here.
