Sentinel BioTech HQ, Manila — November 16, 2023
The next morning, the office felt alive with a new energy. News outlets were still buzzing with yesterday's interview, and public sentiment had shifted even further in Matthew's favor. The hashtag #BorjaForThePeople had not only trended—it had become a symbol of grassroots hope, a testament to a nation that was finally beginning to believe in the possibility of real change. Despite the positive momentum, Matthew knew it was far from over. The next phase of the journey had just begun.
Matthew sat at his desk, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the surface as he reviewed the latest reports. Angel entered the office with her usual composed demeanor, holding a folder filled with the latest updates. "Morning, Matthew," she said softly. "We have several new developments. The media's coverage is still positive, but there are signs that the opposition is regrouping. They're taking aim at your past criticisms again."
