Each new year ushers in renewed hope for, at least, the next 365 days to be much better—for ourselves, our families, and our communities—but we also look back with grateful hearts for the many blessings we received, big or small.

In Build Pilipinas, anchored by our love for the country, we welcome changes and challenges with renewed inspiration and zeal for the mission of fighting disinformation by addressing polarization. The past couple of years have been a difficult uphill battle. We are far from the crest of victory and we expect a lot more ups and downs. But as we look back, we are extremely thankful to all of our partners and volunteers who have been major drivers of this journey, who have given us the strength to overcome and push forward. 

If you are not yet part of our community, take this as an invitation to serve. Be Content Creators as Nation Builders and leverage your influence with Build Champs. Join Digital Warriors or DIWA and become a new breed of influencers. Augment efforts on the ground to amplify your voices and shape narratives in your localities by being part of Build UP. This 2025, we open our doors to more organizational partners by empowering Civil Society Organizations (CSO) to maximize their social media platforms in advancing their advocacies.

On a more personal note, I honor the Build Pilipinas team for all the hard work, the resilience, and the passion to keep the flame glowing. Let us continue to be a blessing to each other and pass on the fervor as we all move as one for a better Philippines.
