OPLAN DAGDAG BAWAS

No one is ever defeated[1] per se in any elections, in the Philippines at least. It is always dagdag-bawas! Shattering politicians' hopes and dreams. Screwing peoples' lives. Plunging the entire nation straight to hell.

Dagdag-bawas has always been the traditional way of electing an official. It soils our history way back to our founding fathers[2]. Despite its negative nature, nothing has ever been done to counter this corruptible miasma. Until now...

Riding on modern technology, Oplan Dagdag Bawas aims to reclaim the will of the people and redefine the abominable Philippine political landscape. Let the people decide! Let the people speak up! Let the people reap the consequences of their own making! No to politicians' devious schemes! No to political dynasties[3]! No to foreign intervention[4][5]!
