INTRODUCTION
When you find a potentially appropriate list, we want you to go through it and see the listed items as doors into different possibilities. As you open the different doors, keep in mind that there is no one-size-fits-all. Our hope is that in the exploration of our lists, you find a few tools here and there that can help you cope with whatever it is you are going through.
And before we begin, we suggest you bookmark this page as we promise to always get back to it for refinements, additions and improvements. Preferably, we’d have a comprehensive list of ALL-FILIPINO channels (to keep it more truly relatable). And for the lists we couldn’t fill, we might included foreign channels labelled blue.
This is NOT a sponsored list. If you know anyone that you think should be added to this list, please reach out to us! That said, we currently seek the help of a copywriter who can make all of this easier to digest and a collaboration between an artist and a flash programmer than can turn this into an interactive tree.
Mga kababayan, kaya natin 'to.
FINANCES
The channels we have here are not nearly enough to cover the damage. We are trying to be as extensive as we can be and we can use all the help we can get.

This section needs as much content as possible. All leads are welcome.
INTERNAL CONFLICT
Some of the doors below will lead to social media content, but to be completely honest with you, if your problem is internal conflict, consuming less social media content would probably be better for you. Often, what you will really need to do to start your journey of healing is to take control of what you allow to affect you. And for a lot of people, social media is a good start.

Again, this list is neither final nor all-comprehensive. It is a work-in-progress. Our driving intention is to promote a culture filled with individuals that whole-heartedly help each other. We believe that there is enough for everybody. We just need to slowly build a society filled with healed individuals that have no need to overcompensate for what they've been led to believe should be the case.
Gradually, we can do it. Together. One by one. One seed at a time. One leaf at a time. One shade at a time. One tree at a time.
