Here’s how:

Step 1: Talk to different people

Talk to thought leaders, students, people from different professions and backgrounds, even to strangers you see on the street, and ask one main question: What kind of leader will you vote for?

These are the people whose stories may shed light on issues and challenges that the everyday Filipino faces. 

Record your interview.

Make sure to list down important details to get to know your subject better: their name, age, areas, and profession.

Step 2: Take photos

Capture the story of the everyday Filipino using your camera or phone.

Take a horizontal photo of your subject in a well-lit environment or in a place that says something about your interviewee’s lifestyle. Take note:  your subjects don’t need to smile or look at the camera.

Step 3: Submit

You can send the photos, videos, captions, posters, artworks, and other relevant information to move.ph@rappler.com. Please put #TheLeaderIWant in the subject line of your email.
