About PAGBABAGO! People’s Movement for Change:

PAGBABAGO! is a new movement that gathers concerned citizens who desire a more meaningful change in our society; not just a change of leadership in government but a decisive break from the poverty-ridden, unjust and corrupt social system that grew worse even after two EDSA uprisings.

We will be bringing these individuals and groups into a more coherent and cohesive movement for change, one that is not just issue-based but carrying a comprehensive reform program; a movement that addresses the underlying problems of Philippine society and resonates with our people’s most deeply-held aspirations.
