Boto Mo Patrol Mo Video Shoot




When ABS-CBN Launched boto mo patrol mo I was quite moved by the song that carried the campaign plus the video that they used to launch Boto Mo Patrol Mo. It was nice to see all those ABS-CBN celebrities plus other big named artists coming together for a cause. To sustain the campaign, ABS-CBN is coming out with another video that is similar in nature but will obviously look at other things in making sure that their now 36k boto patrollers will continue to grow and eventually wake up our slumbering nation.


To be able to make the video unique, ABS-CBN invited students to partake in this one of a kind video. As we very well know, every national undertaking that will suggest change usually starts from the youth sector most notably the students. That is why ABS-CBN invited select group of students from popular schools in Metro Manila to form the cast of thousands who will comprise a part of the video.


Students from Ateneo, FEU, UP and STI were there to help out the cause. Wait a minute, this is not the UAAP,Yes you read it right, STI is in the mold of these top universities that is why a strong 130 students were there to help out make this video shoot very memorable. I for one witnessed the hardships that these students had to endure since the shoot started at 10 pm and ended at almost 8am the next morning.


Patricia Evangelista, Executive Producer for this shoot of Boto Mo Patrol Mo explained that all of the people involved are there for a worthy cause. I was particularly moved by the energy she exhibited all day as she was in a zone in making sure that the students are up on their feet and are 100% excited until the wee hours of the morning. Good thing several bands performed namely Sugarfee, Barbie Almabis, Sinosikat, Peryodiko and Rocksteddy. The crowd were up on their feet.


This is a great project that I believe we in STI are happy to be a part of. As ABS-CBN says "AKO ANG SIMULA..." STIers would shout ..."SIMULAN NATIN!"
