Make Manila Liveable 2024 highlights




Hello daily!

Kumusta ka na? 

It's been a jam-packed year for Make Manila Liveable! Ever since we launched the campaign early this year, it has already been a roller coaster ride given the variety of issues that arose. From featuring human interest stories in schools, heritage sites, and barangays – to tackling policies concerning commuters' rights and people-friendly streets – we can definitely say that our efforts are coming together one step at a time!

As we close off 2024, we want to make this opportunity to thank you for supporting Make Manila Liveable and helping us grow a community of advocates. 

To look back on what we achieved together, here are some highlights you can check: 

UPDATES FROM RECENT EFFORTS

  • Quezon City soft-launches car-free Tomas Morato Sundays on December 8: The car-free period will be from 5 am to 10 am, with parking areas and rerouting schemes identified by the Quezon City government. The proposed ordinance took into account public sentiment gathered with the help of an AI-powered public consultation in partnership with Rappler.

You’re invited! Breakout session on climate resilience in Philippine cities


Hi, daily!

The Social Good Summit 2024 is happening on October 19 at the Teresa Yuchengco Auditorium of De La Salle University Manila! We're happy to announce we're holding exciting breakout sessions simultaneously, from 2 to 4 pm, during the summit.

We think you might be interested in this one: 

How can we make cities climate-resilient? Building sustainable urban centers that can withstand climate change.

Organized with Rappler's Project Agos and Make Manila Liveable partners, this breakout session will discuss challenges to disaster preparedness and climate adaptation, and how this is linked to good governance and better quality of life in Philippine cities.

The panelists for this breakout session are:

  • Raffy Alejandro - Deputy Administrator, Office of Civil Defense 
  • Alberto Kimpo - Assistant City Administrator for Operations, Quezon City Government
  • Dr. Mahar Lagmay - Executive Director, UP Resilience Institute
  • Elijah Go Tian - Co-founder, Placemaking Pilipinas

This will then be followed by a placemaking activity where participants will be grouped to discuss and come up with an imaginary neighborhood grounded on climate resilience. The outcome of this activity is a 10-point wishlist which Rappler will write about, use in our election coverage and campaigns, and relay to 2025 electoral candidates. The activity will be led by the following Make Manila Liveable partners: 

  • Elijah Go Tian - Co-founder, Placemaking Pilipinas
  • Jayson Villeza - Technical Consultant, Ilog Pasiglahin
  • Elton Evidente - Geospatial Data Coordinator, Mapakalamidad.ph

Our other breakout session is about fighting disinformation and attacks during the 2025 Philippine election season. Details below:

Protecting information integrity and truth-tellers amid elections

Led by the anti-disinformation coalition #FactsFirstPH with Foundation for Media Alternatives and Google News Initiative, this breakout session will tackle what can be done to fight disinformation and the misuse of artificial intelligence during election season, as well as discuss how we can better protect ourselves against new online threats like hacking, and scams, among others. This will also touch on existing policy gaps and potential for improvement.

The panelists for this breakout session are:

  • Comelec Chairperson George Garcia
  • Jeffrey Ian Dy - Undersecretary for Infostructure Management, Cybersecurity, and Upskilling, Department of Information and Communications Technology
  • Atty. Rico Domingo - Founding Chairman and Lead Convenor of the Movement Against  Disinformation
  • Ruth Cabal - TV5 news anchor

The breakout session will feature a short panel discussion, and question and answer portion. This will then be followed by an activity where participants will be grouped and encouraged to share their insights on what can be done to protect information integrity and truth-tellers.
