Did you know that aside from having the power to vote for the next set of Senators and local government officials on May 13, we also have the power to dare and challenge the candidates to "answer" the most important question: "Kandidato Anong Plano Mo?"




A study released by Universal McCann entitled "Power To The People - Wave3" declared the Philippines as "the social networking capital of the world, with Filipinos being declared as the most active users on a number of web-based social network sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. It was also noted on the report that social networking is also being used in the Philippines as a form of election campaign material, as well as tools to aid criminal investigation.

In a democratic country like ours and with the power of social media, an advocacy campaign was launched titled "Kandidato Anong Plano Mo?" The campaign aims to mobilize ordinary citizens to ask THE question to those who are running in public office in order for them to address various issues in society like poverty, education, unemployment, graft and corruption, environmental concerns, population, health, and more!
