In a political campaign promise, we see a goal that has turned into mere aspiration—now nothing more than a dream. Like a bad grain of rice, the promise has withered away, left inside a container of pledges—unopened and unfulfilled. A questionable small move was made by the administration, an effort to justify a blinding promise. The 20 pesos/kilo implementation promise doesn’t only hurt Filipino consumers but also farmers. While the price of rice per kilogram is skyrocketing, the farmgate price remains painfully low. It is a cycle in every election, leading the Filipino people to believe in false and empty promises, only to be hindered by nature and human neglect. When will this cycle end? Who knows.

Trolls: World Tour doesn’t just pay lip service to diversity and inclusiveness. There is no white-washing of the voice actors. From the actual K-Pop group Red Velvet voicing the K-Pop Troll bounty hunters to Keenan Thompson playing the Tiny Diamond baby to Kunal Nayyar’s Guy Diamond, the cast includes more than just token minorities.
Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again.

Yet, it's all only the set-up for the REAL wonder of everything that happens before, during, and in the aftermath of a magical, meaningful journey.
