Aswang Force

Chapter 5: Rebellion

Written By Joseph M.

Manananggals, leyaks and penanggalans crowded the steps leading up to courthouse–a section of courthouses attached to The Tribunal Palace–shrieking and demanding answers for the recent events. A manananggal named Councilwoman Lagg of The Tribunal Second Council further stepping out of line by showing the Philippine public that manananggals were real and chasing after Diego Bayani and now his son, classified documents telling how enforcer squadrons randomly entered and searched the homes of manananggals reaching the public through anonymous government insiders, a manananggal member of The Tribunal Second Council accepting payoffs from an unknown source, and bombshell documents detailing a shocking fact: all three judges in The Tribunal First Council tried to withdraw their respective factions from The Tribunal.

And the most shocking reveal: evidence emerged to show that all three judges in the First Council were murdering humans and devouring their flesh. This primitive way of life, these secrets being kept from the mythological public, these injustices outraged the community, and constituents of the Muka Layu, Band Kelima and the Fraksi Hantu screeched at Judge Memerintah as she left the courthouse, crying for her to give answers to these pressing rumors. She declined to give any.

Amongst the crowd was a shared expression of outrage and disappointment–bushy eyebrows pointed down, the screeches parched from crying, pleading for the rumors to not be true. Judge Memerintah’s bodyguards pushed the crowd away, using brute force to the point of even slashing their wings apart, gray aswang blood sprouting up like fountain springs, spraying onto the crowd and onto the concrete pavement. The agonized cries of rebels dropping and bleeding onto the floor was heard from far away, as even the trees couldn’t mask the wails of terror and the resilient screams for justice.

Judge Memerintah ducked down as her escorts followed her into the palace foyer, slashing apart the glistening eyes of the penanggalans and swiping at the tongues of the manananggals. She heard the raspy howls of her constituents, the bawling of subversives bawling loudly over their revolutionary loved ones. She crawled back into her shelter beneath her high seat at the bench, trembling.

One of her bodyguards, Ipatupad, opened up the compartment where she stowed away, reached out his shriveled hand of fuzz and grease and posed a question to her. “You’re a great leader and I’ll guard you with my life, but you need to step up and be the pangulo I know you to be. Tell me, what’s going on?”

Judge Memerintah looked at Ipatupad. His claws trembled quietly. The judge’s eyes watered, salty tears rolling down her grizzly face and dissipating on her tongue, a watery pink snake that slithered up and down and moistened her face. She lashed at Ipatupad, he dropped and she crumpled over the dead body of her fallen friend.

Tears streamed down her downy cheeks like mildew rolling down a hare on a summery morning. Ipatupad’s ghost drifted away from her, now walking on two gnarled bat legs into the light. His apparition turned around to look at the judge he served for so long, gazing one last time into her eyes; and though she couldn’t see him, Ipatupad could see the distress in her teary eyes, and he solemnly walked away.

Judge Memerintah carefully laid down Ipatupad’s corpse and rose, her intestines slithering upwards like a dead jellyfish’s stingers lifted from the sand. She droned through the halls of her and her people’s palace, her crooked fingernails out in front of her, still trying to give her passed friend a hug. She pried away the gates, the undeceived calls for truth filling the entrance, and she admitted everything.

Her words were marked with devastation, a need to make right what was done wrong. She admitted to the judges–as well as several other members of different Councils in The Tribunal resorting to primordial attacks on humankind when food shortages plagued the factions. Her voice, a once calming presence to those under her protection, was now an untrustworthy whisper, and her words were the utterances of a traitor.

Members of the police force that governed The Tribunal ordered her to stand down, and she was cuffed on the very podium of grass blades from which she spoke, and the other judges were lined up alongside her. A baton struck her back, forcing her to move. The harrowing creatures of Southeast Asian mythos paraded her around the crowd of protestors, and she drifted on the very blood of those who she ordered dead.

She hovered over the bodies of protestors, mutinies that picketed to a bitter end, revolutionaries with calls for a reformed government etched into placards. She was walked back into her own palace by her own police force, escorted into a place even she had never been to; it was a dim dungeon, the walls consisted of mud and stone, and a rag in the corner was her bed.

She was locked into her own mind in a sense, an empty, compact void where she and another voice shared a space. There was another inmate sharing this dingy cell with her–where the only light came from a small crack in the back wall and a flickering light bulb above their heads. There was a repugnant smell in the room, a filthy odor that reminded her of cigarettes and urine, a scent that caused her to turn away in disgust.

The prisoner whom Memerintah shared the cramped chamber with seemed to be the cause of this aroma, a cellmate who seemingly hadn’t showered in weeks. He was sitting on his own rag, blue, and his puffy hair of head was buried into his legs. He was human, this one, and though Memerintah didn’t know it, this man’s personality was so charming nobody would think he’d end up in a place like this.

Memerintah called out to him, deciding that any conversation was better than complete silence–even a drunken one, as Memerintah perceived a talk with this stranger might be, was better than nothing. “Answer me this, weak mortal: who are you, and why are you in here?” The ex-judge almost deduced that her delivery could’ve been kinder, but Memerintah stopped examining her own words for flaws when she realized where she was.

The man poked his head up, The Sun stabbing his bloodshot eyes with light. Not a spoken thought. No words; he just smiled a vicious smile, shared at that exact same moment by Grim Blood as he fought off the fabled creatures that lived in the Malay Archipelago and the humans that aided them.

Grim Blood drew a katana and carved shaved a tangle of black manananggal wool from Makisig’s shoulder, speckles of deteriorated gray flesh trapped in a web of black fuzz. Agung, the leyak, bit Grim Blood’s knee, a scene all too familiar to this villain. Efren gnashed at Grim Blood’s arm with his teeth, blunt vices that ripped off his flesh.

Grim Blood got down to his knees, and Efren, Danilo and Leon bashed at his spine with the butts of their rifles. It was like three metal baseball bats were belligerently pummeling him into the ground, buffeting him until his vertebral column could become a gravel walkway. All he could see was nothing, and then he saw his body getting hauled away, and then he found himself lying in a bed in a cell.

Aces HCs

Headcannons? Yes. Yes.

THIS IS FOR ALL MY FILIPINO FAMS OUT THERE HAHAHA

The 3RD YEAR Aces + Sakusa and Meian being taught the "Filipino" way of washing clothes? Yes please.

Filipinos mostly wash clothes while outside, with a few deep, circular tubs, and a manual pump.

warning: chaos, crack and a bit of spicy content bc.... water soaked aces and meian? hello?

So for this hcs, S/o are at the least, a quarter Filipino. I usually tend to make it as general as possible but... hehehe for the sake of this one.

Thank you to @lovemeian @ushisrever and @saudade-mayari for their inputs HAHAHA

@slutbench helped too ig HAHAHA

Anyway, Enjoy!

ARAN OJIRO

Mans is very curious. He visited the Philippines with you, saw your aunt handwashing the clothes and has the need to help.

Such a gentleman I swear.

Let me help you, Aunty.

He would NOT let you help either.

Even if he doesn't know how to do it, he won't let you help him.

So you sit down a little ways away and tell him what to do.

hE IS SO RECEPTIVE AND ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS WHEN YOU EXPLAIN IT.

So... I rub the cloth between my knuckles like this?

Yes, Aran. You're doing amazing.

He is so careful too, that no water splashes on his clothes.

good for you tbh. The baklas and the titas aren't staring.

but you know how them muscles flex so...

goodluck to you.

Asahi Azumane

Girl. Boy. Bakla. Tomboy.

Oh you poor dear.

He is such a baby in this

I am so sorry for you.

You ask him if he wants to help bc you see him watching you halfway through the coloured load.

He just shyly nods and goes over to you.

The moment he sits down...

Oh honey...

Like a baby trying to swim. Dogpaddles his way through the next load.

He's terrified that he's gonna rip the clothes with his strength so he uses minimal force

It barely cleans the shirt but you just sneakily redo it for him

mans is so proud of himself when he's done

pls praise him.

bc he'll give you kisses and will be more determined to help you.

Hajime Iwaizumi

Ah. The man of the hour.

the entire reason why this was thought of.

we all know that Iwa is half filipino hc right? Right.

Listen. mans already know what to do.

His Nanay had to handwash his clothes when he was young.

Batang kalye si Haji please

Asal kalye yan

BUNGISNGIS DIN YAN PUTA

I feel so sorry for Mama Iwaizumi please

but he matured

and he knows how to wash them clothes.

It's laundry day? He's already up, the clothes are piled and separated in their respective batya and he's pumping the poso like hell.

and he's gonna make you help.

y'know that pic of him with his sleeves all the way up his shoulders? yeah that's gonna be him.

but add in the wet shirt bc he's splashing the water everywhere

so you got the view.

also he uses tide bar with downy according to @saudade-mayari HAHAHA

Koutarou Bokuto

First of all. Don't let him help.

For your sanity, just don't.

He's a literal kid.

He's amazed by how you wash the clothes and he wants to help.

But what ends up happening?

You don't get the laundry done

till late at night bc of him

He's literally playing with the water and the clothes

and he's genuinely amazed at how a bar of detergent could lather so much

mans got you both soaking too

I am so sorry for you

but!

he made up for it

by hanging the clothes up for you when you're done

AND

cuddling you all night hehe

Wakatoshi Ushijima

Oh god.

Another clueless one

Just make him pump the poso.

please

bc if you make him wash it

he wouldn't know what to do

I am? Supposed to wash it by hand? How?

Just follow my lead, hon.

Unlike Asahi who was too scared to rip

Toshi doesn't know his strength.

Mans will rip the clothes and he wouldn't even notice it.

So unless you want the clothes to be all ripped like a poor recreation of ripped denim fashion

don't make him wash it please.

just make him get you water and lift the heavy loads lmao.

Kiyoomi Sakusa

You... are better off letting him do as he pleases.

LIKE DON'T EVEN ASK HIM.

You will not be able to convince this man to wash clothes the Filipino way.

I'm being serious.

He won't even touch the poso.

It's so rusty why would I even go there?

man will travel however long he needs to and will use mineral water as laundry water.

mans will also complain about everything.

Why does the detergent smell like that?

The water?? comes from underground??

What about the filtration system??

Oh and my personal favourite

YOU LET THE SUN AND THE MUSTY AIR DRY THE CLOTHES??

Yes, Kiyo. We do.

...I'm buying you and your family a washing machine and dryer set.

Kiyo no-

…Yeah no good luck lmao

Shuugo Meian

Oh lawdddd

No one dares go to the infamous Siquijor, the Philippine island of witch craft and strange things. Exactly why I had to.

Grabe man 100. Ano sila man, milyonaryo?

Mag ano kamo, Ma'am? Magpinsan?

Ang magsuka sa plastik lang. Ang magsuka sa plastik wala bayad. Ang magsuka sa salog may bayad gid ha, kay mabakal pa kita sang sabon kag Downy panglimpyo.

Advance Happy New Year lang sa tanan. Malapit na kita ha. Bacolod City na. Magpanglipstick na ang iban para pagpanaog beautiful gihapon.

"A new research report from a leading journalism organization says [t]rump’s attacks on the news media have endangered American democracy and imperiled press freedom in other countries.

"The report from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) catalogues a lengthy list of [t]rump’s anti-press behaviors, from repeatedly tarring credible reporting with charges of 'fake news,' to trying to bar reporters from the White House, to scrubbing or withholding information from government websites.

"[t]rump’s attacks on the news media have 'dangerously undermined truth and consensus in a deeply divided country' at a time when the nation faces the unprecedented challenge of the coronavirus, concludes CPJ, a New York-based organization that monitors press issues around the world.

"Its report, titled 'The [t]rump Administration and the Media,' documents such [t]rump administration practices as using U.S. Customs and Border Protection to question journalists and search their electronic devices at border crossings; [t]rump’s calls for boycotts of news organizations and for changes in libel laws to punish reporting he doesn’t like; the ending of formal White House press briefings for more than a year; and [t]rump’s repeated lies to discredit accurate reporting.

"It also cites the *resident’s harassment of media companies — he has threatened regulatory action against corporate owners — and his reelection campaign’s recent lawsuits against The Washington Post, the New York Times and CNN for opinion columns it disputed.

"The document is based on interviews with nearly 40 journalists, press freedom advocates, academics, media lawyers, and current and former administration officials, including Michael Dubke, who served briefly as [t]rump’s White House communications director.

"Dubke, who largely defended [t]rump’s approach to the news media in the report, nevertheless endorsed its conclusion that [t]rump has emboldened foreign leaders to crack down on their own news media. 'What concerns me is that authoritarian leaders who had already placed restrictions on their press are using [t]rump’s words to justify what they are doing,' he is quoted in the report as saying. 'It’s convenient for them to do so.'

"The report was written by Leonard Downie Jr., the former executive editor of The Post and now a journalism professor at Arizona State University. Downie was the author of a CPJ report in 2013 that criticized the Obama administration’s 'aggressive' prosecution of suspected government leakers and investigation of journalists who reported on the leaks.

"'I hope this [report] helps people see what’s going on,' Downie said in an interview.

"'People can see [t]rump’s attacks on the press, but not really know their impact' or scope, he said. 'You can be aware of the drip, drip, drip of this every day, but not see the whole picture, which is shocking.'

"[t]rump’s habit of telling 'the same lies over and over again' combined with conservative lawmakers’ efforts to restrict voting rights raise doubts about whether the November election will be conducted fairly amid the coronavirus pandemic, Downie said.

"Public attitudes toward the media have remained generally stable during [t]rump’s *residency, although public-opinion polls have shown a deepening partisan split, with self-identified Republicans far more likely to express distrust in news reporting than Democrats.

"This split was reflected in a Pew Research Center survey about the virus in mid-March: At a time when [t]rump was still minimizing the risks of the pandemic, only 33 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters said the outbreak was a major threat to the health of the U.S. population, compared with 59 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents.

"The report says the Environmental Protection Agency and Interior Department are among the federal departments and agencies whose websites have been scrubbed of information about several controversial subjects, such as climate change, corporate taxation, the Affordable Care Act and LGBTQ issues. At the same time, less information is available online about officials’ schedules and visitors to the White House and cabinet departments, it said.

"The report documents a series of attacks by [t]rump or his administration against the owners of media organizations in an apparent attempt to punish them for unfavorable coverage.

..."It noted that between January 2017 and May 2019, 26 countries enacted or introduced laws or rules restricting online media and journalistic access in the name of preventing 'fake news.' The leaders of Poland, Hungary, Turkey, China, the Philippines and Cambodia are among those who have cited [t]rump and 'fake news' to criticize or restrict the press in their countries.

"While the report primarily focuses on [t]rump, it also offered some criticism of the American news media. It said news organizations have contributed to a blurring of the lines between fact and opinions by mixing opinion, analysis and conventional reporting in articles and in cable TV panel discussions.

"The organization made nine recommendations to the [t]rump administration, including that it refrain from 'delegitimizing or discrediting' journalists, 'not least during a public health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.'"

Textual Analysis - ADS (04)

The first ad I chose is the downy antibac ad. Here is the youtube link to the ad: https://youtu.be/mAP_WbYwUVc

The phrase "99.9% antibac protection" was utilized in this advertisement since it worked with the brand safeguard. You'll see that only the downy antibac safeguard uses 99.9% compared to other downy variants since the safeguard purchased and owns the line. This implies that other cleaning products cannot use this line since the safeguard company may bring legal action against them. You'll notice that the video's introduction uses the color green for the section about odors and germs. They chose the color green because it is often associated with disgust, like in the movie Inside Out. Additionally, the young child made a puking expression to emphasize how foul-smelling the garment is due to the germs. They used a very dark and gloomy background to emphasize the sadness and concern of the mother about the clothes that are smelling bad because she can't dry them outside due to the bad weather. Dark and gloomy backgrounds are often used when there are sad scenes in drama movies. So it is fitting that they used that kind of background in that particular scene. On other hand, they used bright and luminous lighting when they introduced the product. Light is a symbol of hope, so they are implying that the product will solve the problem. In addition, the mother's voice is much softer than the voice introducing the brand. A louder voice will appeal to the audience as energetic and lively, so if the mother's voice is loud, it won't appeal to the audience that the mother is sad. After using the product, you will notice that they added flowers, and the lighting is not dark anymore. The whole family is also smiling, which means that they are happy and contended. The flowers added gave it a much fresher and cozier vibe which I think is great when promoting a fabric softener.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the director of the downy antibac advertisement. The constant change of lighting and sound effects attracted my attention. I often see this on television, so when I saw the activity, I immediately knew what to choose for the first advertisement. I feel like Filipinos will understand it similarly to me because the Philippines is like the home of drama movies and we often see this kind of theme. The lifestyle that's shown is the housewife who takes care of the child and the house chores would not need to worry about the clothes smelling bad when dry indoors. The husband who works will also be happy when he comes home with clothes smelling fragrant. The purpose of the message is to let other housewives know that they can use the downy antibac when it's raining to avoid having foul-smelling clothes. I am amazed by how much thought they put into this advertisement. The casted actors also fit their roles. I will accept the message of this advertisement because it is family-friendly and there are no offensive messages in it.

The second ad I choose is Master: ang sikreto ng mga gwapo https://youtu.be/NQ7KD7LkDSg The guy acting cool while walking in the middle of the campus at the beginning of the video is so funny. The humorous aspects of the video came from the background music and his exaggerated expressions and poses. My only problem is the judgemental faces the girls on their campus made just because of the pimple on his face. Acne's a sensitive topic and is insecurity of a lot of people, so I think they should be careful when advertising skincare products, especially products made specifically for acne. I also didn't like the scene where the girl pointed out the guy's acne because I know and have experienced it firsthand. Moving on to the lighting, I like how they used a black background mixed with gold lighting when introducing the product. It made them look more mature and manly which can be appealing to the male audience, their target market.

The Master Philippines created this advertisement. The setting they chose is at school, and gave the actors the role of a Cassanova in the school while the girls are admiring them from afar while playing the background sound "mahirap ang maging gwapo." This caught my attention because I am a student and still not over the school love story phase. Some people might not find the first scene as offensive as I do, and it's okay because not all people have the same experience and thoughts. I just don't like the thought that their audience would feel the need to buy this product out of obligation because their insecurity is being pointed out and made fun of. The message that's being sent by the company is that if you use master, your face will be cleaner, and it might help reduce your pimples. Your face will be much more handsome with no acne like James Reid, and the girls will fawn over you. This message is being sent so that guys who suffer from acne will buy this product in hopes of reducing their acne.

The visuals, sound, setting, and theme have a lot of potentials, but the way they executed it was just not for me. The advertisement was published around six years ago, so I understand that they were not sensitive and aware of how they might trigger a sensitive insecurity in the audience. I would have to reject the message of the advertisement because it is on television and other media. They also have a large audience, which means they should have been much more cautious and done several checks before publishing it. They should also know that anything you post online can not be taken down and will remain there for a lifetime.

10 Days, 240 Hours, 14400 minutes and 864 000 seconds

Travelogue made by: Ayessa M. Gula, 12 HUMSS

Lapu-lapu is a beautiful place wherein the shrine of one of the bravest heroes in the Philippines was located and where the place is named after him. In fact it is a land where people wanted to see its beautiful sea and once you travel in that place it would be difficult to leave its beautiful and wonderful sceneries.

My section which is the grade 12 HUMSS together with the 12 STEM-A were the first batch to travel in Lapu-lapu in order for us to spend our work immersion in Creotec for two weeks. We are accompanied by senior high advisers as well as our principal. There are 5 vans and we are divided and grouped by our adviser into 3. At exactly 7:00 am our vans are ready to travel to Ibo, Lapu-lapu City.

As we travel along the roads, we passed the Ayala Centre Cebu, though the roads are usually occupied by vehicles and it is traffic at that time, we manage to enjoy the ride due to the air conditioner inside the van that cools down our body, the chit-chats after the rosary and the travel prayer and the music that made us sing along together though our voices aren’t that good to hear. The sunlight passes and reflects through the tinted glasses and shines our faces especially towards those who are near the window pane making us shout the word “selfie” and is perfect for the caption “sunkissed”. When we passed by SM Mall which is in Mabolo, the traffic is a little bit heavy. As I looked at the mall, there are already lots of people going in and out and I realized that shopping towards the concept of us Filipinos are not only on the neither afternoon nor night but also at morning.

In Mandaue, you’ll believe the word forever, because of the traffic that we encountered since many people were looking for Jeepneys in order for them to go to their work or to their schools. Even if our van has sound proof which means our voices cannot be heard outside and we can’t hear the noises outside, we barely hear the “beeps” sound of the Jeepneys, as we asked this, kuya Roy which is our van driver told us that if we heard it, it means that the horn of the cars and other vehicles were too loud that even the sound proof vehicles can hear it.

After that very long traffic, we met the roads that have many hotels, apartments, nice houses and hospitals. One of them is the Bai hotel which has blue glasses that if the sunlight is going to touch it you can see that its color is sparkling like a water sometimes you’ll think of it as made of precious blue stones that would made you love the color blue. Since we travel for almost 35 minutes my vanmates would decide to close their eyes for a while, but since I don’t want to miss the view I always look outside the window to see the plants, and houses. The roads going to the new bridge of Lapu-Lapu has trees between the roads. When we already passed the bridge, all of my vanmates opened their eyes and waited for the most awaited view. The sea. Since it was a sunny day the waters of it were sparkling and were dancing together with the sun and the clouds were like paintings that you wanted to see for almost every day. As we now arrived in our work place, the security guard of the company greeted us with a very wide smile and a short but nice morning message which is the “have a nice day”.

Inside the Creotec, you can smell the fragrance of Downy Passion on the floor, meaning the building is well-cleaned. Inside our orientation room may be small but as you open the lights it was very bright as if the room was very happy meeting us. As we walk through the rooms, we observed that it was named after the famous landmarks in Cebu and Lapu-lapu City. Our facilitator which is Madam Murphy is a very good person, she always taught us to be a good employee and you can’t feel that she is a facilitator instead you can feel that she’s a mother caring for her children since she is very gentle. We stayed there in 3 days for our training and lecture. For 7 days, is for the hands-on works with Mdm. Prado which is inside the computer room. It has the smell of new computers and the smell of the air conditioner. It was very cold and because of that we need to wear our jackets. Since there are no internet connection to other computers, we are instructed to do our works manually which is very tiring. We were very happy Mdm. Prado and Mdm. Murphy told us that during break time we are allowed to neither watch our favorite movie nor do everything we wanted to. My classmates were watching movies, like Korean dramas, horror movies and even romance. Since I already watched those movies at home I decided to search for documentaries and horror stories in my computer because fortunately I am one of those users who can connect the internet.

Now let’s go to their canteen which is located outside the building; it doesn’t have a big space that will accompany every one of us. There are only 6 tables that is why we are given schedule on each classes on what time we need to eat our snacks or lunch, but what made me happy is that they are selling foods in lower price compare to our school canteen, the food is not just cheap but is also delicious and worth it. My most favorite food that they sell is the porchop, it’s only 40 pesos and the size was so big that will make you request for more rice.

For 10 days I always see the beautiful scenery, taste the delicious foods and meet our good and cheerful facilitators. As we ended that short but memorable days of work immersion, before we went to our van to go back in our school I closed my eyes and remember the first day I went inside the building and how the fragrance of that will always make me remember of Pia Wurtzbach’s advertisement. I will never ever forget how the foods taste and how every employees of Creotec treated us with. By the day we travel going back to our school, I took a video of the place, and as I hold my cellphone, I smiled widely and I whispered to my mind that I promised to go back in this wonderful place, because it made me realized that life is very beautiful and wonderful through the scenes that I’ve encountered every day.

National Geographic, in Partnership With P&G, Explores a Global Movement, a Multiplatform Docuseries Driven by Activists, Game Changers, and Policymakers

National Geographic announced that ACTIVATE: THE GLOBAL CITIZEN MOVEMENT, the six-part documentary series from National Geographic and Procter & Gamble, co-produced by Global Citizen and RadicalMedia, will premiere Sept. 5 at 9/8c in the U.S. and will air globally on National Geographic in 172 countries and 43 languages.

ACTIVATE is a multiplatform storytelling partnership and six-part documentary series — bolstered by custom content distributed across National Geographic’s unrivaled social, digital, linear and print channels. It will raise awareness about extreme poverty, inequality and sustainability issues to mobilize Global Citizens to drive meaningful and lasting change on the Global Citizen platform.

Each episode delves into a different issue connected to the root causes of extreme poverty, following a specific Global Citizen campaign and the organizers, amplifiers, grassroots activists, action takers and people whose lives are being changed. Episode topics include eradicating extreme poverty, ending cash bail, breaking down barriers to girls’ education, funding education for displaced children, ending plastic pollution and helping solve the water crisis.

ACTIVATE will take audiences from the Global Citizen Festival stages to the front lines of change around the world while spotlighting real-time efforts to address issues related to extreme poverty. Through the eyes of activists including Hugh Jackman, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Becky G, Usher, Common, Rachel Brosnahan, Gayle King, Bonang Matheba, Pharrell Williams, Darren Criss and Uzo Aduba, and told through the iconic storytelling lens of National Geographic, viewers will hear the stories, meet the people and witness firsthand the work that is being done to combat extreme poverty and inspire a global movement.

The series has been filmed internationally in Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, the Philippines and South Africa, and across the United States in California, New York, Tennessee and Washington, D.C.

The ACTIVATE partnership is the result of a shared commitment National Geographic, P&G and Global Citizen have made to leverage their collective influence, audience and scale to both raise awareness and inspire a global community to take action.

For more than 10 years, Global Citizen has been working to defeat extreme poverty through advocacy and citizen engagement, motivating businesses, organizations and governments to make financial commitments and policy changes to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and eradicate extreme poverty by 2030. At the same time, P&G has a rich history of leveraging its brands and its people as a force for good to make the world a better place by helping solve critical issues related to girls’ education, clean drinking water, disaster relief, sustainability and inequality. And for more than 130 years, National Geographic has utilized its powerful imagery and impact storytelling to help audiences around the globe understand the world around them so that, in turn, they care more about it. The multiplatform ACTIVATE storytelling partnership will expand beyond the documentary series to include a 10-page custom print section for ACTIVATE in the September issue of National Geographicmagazine as well as custom story stretches aligned to each episode, custom digital articles and social media moments highlighting various issues within ACTIVATE.

The partnership will also include digital hubs on NatGeo.com and GlobalCitizen.org for viewers who would like to dive deeper into the six critical issues highlighted in the series. Viewers will be able to take action on Global Citizen campaigns, earn rewards and learn more about P&G’s brand impact efforts led by Tide, Always, Head & Shoulders, Charmin and more.
