Katatapos lang ng pangalawang Trillion Peso March — bumabaha ang mga selfie, nakaaaliw na mensahe sa mga T-shirts, at creative na mga protest paraphernalia.

Pero saan ka nagpunta? Sa EDSA ba o sa Luneta?

Bongbong Marcos, Sara Duterte, Flood Control, Corruption

‘Wag magtaka kung walang iisang mensaheng dumagundong na puwedeng umuga sa Malacañang. Hitik kasi sa mixed messaging ang mga rally — sa Luneta, “Marcos-Duterte Resign” at “Resign All” ang sintingkad ng pulang mga streamer. Sa EDSA naman, “ikulong,” “panagutin ang mga corrupt” at “accountability” ang maugong.

Naganap ang mga pagkilos laban sa korupsiyon sa gitna ng isang malaking dilemma ng mga organizer: Kung mananawagan ka ng pagbibitiw ng pinakamataas na pinuno ng bansa na si President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. dahil sa pagkakadawit niya umano sa plunder sampu ng mga kasangga niya, ‘di ba’t parang inannoint mo na rin si Bise Presidente Sara Duterte? 

Kaya siguro nag-evolve ang panawagang “Marcos-Duterte Resign.” Pero sa totoo lang, mismong mga nagpoprotesta, aminadong hindi magreresign ang dalawa. So…duh…ano ang punto ng panawagang hindi naman pala actionable?

Kaya rin siguro, mas niyakap ng civil society ang “Panagutin.” Tahasan pa ngang nireject ni Cardinal Ambo David ang panawagang “Marcos-Duterte resign.” Naka-align ito sa hard-nosed analysis ng mga political observers tulad ng mamamahayag na si Vergel Santos at political communications consultant Joey Salgado.

More than anything, reminder ito na ang civil society at protest movement ay “utterly divided and caught in its old wars,” sabi nga ng isang batikang journalist sa Rappler.

Panahon pa ito ng protest movement na umusbong matapos ma-assassinate si Ninoy Aquino: nanawagan ang August Twenty-One Movement ng “paglahok” sa snap presidential elections habang nanawagan ang National Democratic (ND) Movement ng “boycott.” Ano ang leksiyon ng kasaysayan? Sa terminong masasapul ng henerasyon ngayon, ang moral of the lesson is: Choose engagement over being passive-aggressive.

For the sake of argument, kung sakali mang may scenario na mapipilitang mag-resign si Marcos at Duterte, anong “transitory council” ang mabubuo sa harap ng hudikatura na compromised, ng Senado na factionalized, ng militar na irrational to all things “red,” at sa tubig at langis na dynamics ng civil society at ND movement?

May mga panukala, tulad ng “hybrid” constitutional solution ni law professor at civil society leader Tony La Viña pero tadtad ng paghamon ang ganitong alternatibo.

Ang laging challenge sa ating mga Pilipino — saan mang larangan, mapa-pulitika o mapa-kapitbahay o mapa-pamilya pa nga minsan — ang magkaisa. Lagi tayong watak-watak, sindami ng mga isla ng bansa natin. Kanya-kanya, hirap magsanib puwersa, kahit noon pang panahon ng Kastila at Amerikano. Ganito na lang ba tayo lagi?

Hinog ang panahon para sa pagbabago — pagbabago na maaaring radikal pero nakabatay sa Konstitusyon tulad ng panukala ni La Viña — sa harap ng nakasusukang katiwalian sa halos lahat ng aspeto ng gobyerno. Pero, may nakaamba bang mang-agaw ng momentum? Tila wala, sa harap ng pagkakawatak-watak ng mga puwersang may prinsipyo.

Sa tinagal-tagal ng panahon nang pakikipagtunggali sa kapangyarihan, wala pa rin gagap sa tactical unity and strategic compromise ang mga mulat na puwersa.

Tinatamaan na ang ekonomiya. Palubog na ang barko ng pamahalaan, at lahat tayo nanganganib mahila pailalim ng undercurrent. – Rappler.com

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
