If you’re watching TV, I’m sure you’d encounter the Ako Mismo! commercial wherein selected celebrities or individuals promised to do a particular task for the good of the community, or country.
The Ako Mismo slogan tells us: “ Ano ang gagawin mo para sa kinabukasan ng bayang ito? Ako Mismo ang kikilos para sa bayan ko ”
Just like what other bloggers thought about the Ako Mismo, I think it’s a campaign that urges every Filipino to do by themselves the things that will help raise our nation again. The Ako Mismo has this message: “ Simulan mo ang pagkilos sa muling pagbangon ng Pilipinas. Maliit man o malaki, ikaw mismo ang magsasabi kung ano ang gagawin mo. ”
This afternoon, I registered at the Ako Mismo website. They collected my personal information including my cellphone number which at first made me confused whether I would continue the registration or not. I was wondering why should they need to collect personal information including my phone number, and how secure is their site?
After that, I checked the Wall of Commitments ( click here ) where you will find the commitments made by those who registered with the Ako Mismo. As of writing this post, there are 186,193 commitments posted already. Most of the commitments posted are serious ones like:
- Ako mismo tutulong paghubog sa sa mga darating na henerasyon
- Ako mismo tutulongan ang bayan
- Ako mimso magmahal sa kapatid nating muslim
But I wonder how sincere are the members of the Ako Mismo campaigns. I even noticed a funny commitment that says: “ Ako Mismo Hindi ikaw ok! ”
