March 21th, 2028 — TG Tower, Bonifacio Global City
9:20 AM
The skyline outside Timothy's office was sharp and clear, the kind of blue Manila only pulled out after a night of rain. Down below, BGC moved like clockwork—cars, people, deliveries—but up here, the world felt quiet.
Too quiet, considering what Hana had just told him.
"Her campaign wants to finalize the details before the rally this afternoon," Hana said, standing in front of his desk, tablet in hand. "They're asking if you'll attend in person or keep your involvement discreet for now."
Timothy leaned back in his chair.
On his main screen, a document was open—draft points titled:
NATIONAL CLEAN POWER ACCELERATION FRAMEWORK — WORKING PROPOSAL
Under it, bullet points:
— HyperCore SMR pilot plants in three regions
— Nuclear Energy Development Act amendments
— EV manufacturing incentives tied to local content
— Fast-track permits for TG Energy facilities
He exhaled slowly.
