𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗠𝗡 | 𝑴𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔…𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗝𝗼𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲

Filipino Christmas is traditionally happy. It is a season where families gather to cherish peace and warmth, unwrapping gifts thoughtfully chosen to match the needs or personalities of their recipients. Christmas songs play endlessly through loudspeakers, often brought home by a father or an uncle. And a table filled with hearty dishes carefully prepared for noche buena. These are the scenes we are expecting every December.

As familiar as these celebrations are, a different Christmas quietly unfolds across the street. There are those who long to know what a real Christmas feels like, forced to treat this special day as an ordinary one. A day spent praying for a miracle, listening blankly to the cheerful noise outside their homes. Christmas may be a special day, but it is not the same for everyone.

This is the issue that most of us are blind to. The joy we experience during this season often covers our sight, blinding us to the scraps and dirt that still exist on Christmas Day. I used to think that it was one’s own fault if they could not find the Christmas spirit, because I formerly believed that happiness was innate on this day. But the distress that existed before the joy will never be extinguished just because it is Christmas. Many may choose the bliss of ignorance, but this choice is a disservice to those who continue to struggle in the background.

Christmas is joyful, but the common Filipino still struggles to survive each day under a failing system. Christmas is the season of unending laughter, yet a mother still cries because she cannot give her children the celebration they deserve. Christmas is hope, but many Filipinos remain helpless amid corruption that remains unresolved.

This inequality is not merely incidental no matter how easily we are tempted to believe it is. Believe me or not, everyone works until their body tires out just to prepare a memorable Christmas. I even heard back then that a parent of one of my childhood friends needed to prepare a Christmas carol performance just to receive his Christmas bonus. Astonishingly, the extra money given is still insufficient to feed their family of five. Truly, it is not “katamaran” or “kawalan ng diskarte” which makes some Christmas celebrations unfulfilling, it is the unfair circumstances that are served with unaddressed handicaps.

It does not matter how hard you give your best especially if the state consistently neglects our security. It is a government of manipulators who chooses to enact inadequate minimum wages, therefore limiting its people's joy and comfort. Intended or not, they push laborers to go beyond to afford even the basic needs. Most workers are forced to identify survival for success, and exhaustion for virtue. We applaud their grit while ignoring the systems that drained them in the first place. The state praises “hard work” yet refuses to make work livable, leaving people to hustle themselves with double jobs or other means just to stay afloat.

Those who have almost nothing are left clinging to whatever the season offers. For them, Christmas does not mean a table full of food, but it is with packs of instant noodles, canned goods, and biscuits handed out by the government, presented as if these were enough to carry them through the holidays. Out of desperation, they learn to treat these as pamasko, eager to taste even a speck of the joy that everyone else seems to find so naturally. It is cruel that a season meant for abundance teaches the poorest to search for happiness in something so small.

This is the reality that most Filipinos face. It may feel out of place to name all these wrongs on a day meant for celebration, yet it is precisely because it is Christmas that we must. Because when joy is expected but dignity is denied, the season becomes not a promise, but a reminder of everything the state has failed to protect. And perhaps the most painful truth is this, in a country that prides itself on being happy, many are left wondering why Christmas still feels empty.

I still wish everyone a Merry Christmas. But perhaps the only gift we can offer to those who are struggling is not forced cheers, not greetings, but the simple act of recognizing their stolen dignity.

𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗠𝗡 | 𝑨 𝒀𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 (𝑩𝒊𝒍𝒍) 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔

Noche Buena is a Pinoy commodity. Every year, Filipinos allocate most of their bonuses and salaries to put on the greatest meal that their family will have for the year. Filipinos believe that Jesus’ birthday must be celebrated, and as a Christian country, His birth is considered a blessing. Yet, with the recent remarks of a government official, one must ask: how can a Filipino family prepare a feast for the Son of God with a single yellow peso bill?

Last November 27, the Department of Trade and Industries issued a controversial take on the needed amount for preparing your Noche Buena. They stated that with 500 pesos, a Filipino family can curate a decent feast for Christmas. This take gathered a massive flak online mentioning that this statement came from an incognizant perspective of existing realities.

To be fair, it is factual that you can prepare a simpleng handaan for the price mentioned. The cheapest ham I know costs 107 pesos—but be warned, it is not the round delectable ham we see in a Christmas advertisement. Palengke style pasta noodles cost nearly 60 pesos per pack, but the texture will surely be mushy. With the limited budget, you can not go for ground beef or pork as sahog, opt for the cheapest corned beef available. Do not even raise your ambitions for a tomato spaghetti sauce, a pack of banana ketchup is enough. For fruit salad, buy the smallest fruit cocktail you can find, then go for one no-name brand cream that may be lardy—but who cares? This is the feast you can afford, it is not much, but it feeds a growling stomach right? In Filipino terms we say “makuntento na muna,” make do of what is on the table.

The anger did not come from a simple rage because of the statement’s absurdity, rather, it is because it breeds a dangerous norm that the government wants to instill—be grateful for the crumbs that you get.

Filipinos have been conditioned with the pagtiyatiyaga attitude. This long tradition has masked the government’s failure to pass policies that could ease the lives of ordinary Filipinos. We were taught to be like Lazarus, who is grateful for each scraps of food he receives since this made him enter Heaven. The institutions that shape the daily life of a Filipino have sealed this toxic mindset as a virtue.

The statement reverberated the humungous distance of power between the wealthy and the working class. The institutionalization of this attitude draws the common Filipino further from aiming to afford luxury, because this vantage point clearly makes them believe that simplicity is some sort of riches to own, making them think a simple feast for Christmas is enough.

This is what happens when those on top want you to believe that you only deserve to settle.

That single yellow peso bill will feel enough at some point, but joy should never demand that you give up your dignity or compromise for less than what you truly want—not even in a season of generosity and abundance. The spirit of Christmas revolves around giving out happiness and hoping for change. This retention of the rugged lifestyle that most Filipinos are tired of does not align with the calls of this holiday. The birth of Jesus Christ is a symbol of hope for humanity and care of who is above us.

A line in the bible explicitly states that “For God so loved the world, He gave us His only Son.” We can see that a leader that truly cares carries out physical manifestations of love, they do not imply that we do not need more. I wonder, when can we ever say “For the government loves as it gave us care?”

Just an advice to those in power (if they ever plan to give care at all): having a realistic take may be a good start.

𝗞𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗠 | 𝐃𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐲𝐚 𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐡𝐚𝐧, 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧

𝗕𝗶𝘆𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝗹𝘂𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗴?
Sa bawat pag-ilaw ng parol at pag-awit ng mga awiting pamasko, muling umaasa ang bawat Pilipino. Ang Pasko ay hindi lamang petsa sa kalendaryo, kundi isang pangakong pinanghahawakan, na may liwanag sa dulo ng taon. Ito rin ay panahon ng pagninilay, para kanino ba talaga ang mga biyayang ipinapangako sa atin taon-taon?

Habang ang ilan ay nagbubukas ng mga regalo, ang mas nakararami ay patuloy na naghihintay ng isang mas makabuluhang handog, ang hustisya, pantay na pagkakataon, at pamahalaang tunay na naglilingkod. Sa gitna ng selebrasyon at mga ngiti, nananatiling bukas ang tanong, sa isang bansang paulit-ulit na hinahawakan ng iisang mga apelyido, kailan darating ang Paskong may kasamang tunay na pagbabago?

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘳.

Ito ang katotohanang hinaharap ng marami. Habang ang iilang pamilya ay patuloy na yumayaman at lumalawak ang impluwensiya, ang karaniwang mamamayan ay patuloy na nalulugmok sa kahirapan. Ang mga pangakong kaunlaran at pagbabago tuwing halalan ay nagiging panaginip lamang para sa masa, isang bagay na paulit-ulit na ipinangako ngunit bihirang matupad.

Sa isang demokrasya na ipinagmamalaki ang pamumuno ng bayan at para sa bayan, nananatiling isang hindi maikakailang katotohanan ang konsentrasyon ng kapangyarihan sa kamay ng iilang pamilya. Lumilipas ang mga administrasyon, nagpapalit ang mga mukha, ngunit ang mga apelyido sa balota at sa mga posisyon ng kapangyarihan ay nananatiling pare-pareho. Ang serbisyong publiko, sa halip na magsilbing tungkulin, ay nagiging pamana.

Hindi ito nagkataon, ito ay isang sistemang matagal nang pinapayagan, kinukunsinti, at pinoprotektahan.

Mula sa antas ng barangay hanggang sa pinakamataas na tanggapan ng pamahalaan, malalim ang ugat ng political dynasty. Sa maraming lalawigan, ang halalan ay hindi na labanan ng plataporma at prinsipyo, kundi palitan lamang ng magkakamag-anak. Ang pamumuno ay nagiging mana, hindi bunga ng kakayahan at pananagutan.

Malinaw ang epekto nito sa buhay ng karaniwang mamamayan. Kapansin-pansin na ang mga lugar na pinaghaharian ng mga dinastiya ang siya ring nananatiling pinakamahihirap. Habang umuunlad ang pangalan ng iilan, nananatiling lugmok ang komunidad. Paulit-ulit ang pangako ng kaunlaran tuwing halalan, ngunit bihirang maramdaman ng mamamayan ang tunay na pagbabago.

𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘣𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘺𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘯, 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯, 𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘺𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘯?

Kaakibat ng dinastiyang politikal ang lumalalang korapsyon. Ang pondong laan sana para sa serbisyong panlipunan ay nauuwi sa bulsa ng iilan, habang ang pananagutan ay unti-unting nawawala. Ang dating tinatanggap bilang “normal” ay ngayon ay malinaw na anyo ng sistematikong pagkabigo ng pamahalaan—isang sistemang nagpapayaman sa iilan at nagpapahirap sa nakararami.

Gayunpaman, may unti-unting pagbabago na nagaganap. Sa pag-usbong ng bagong henerasyon ng mga Pilipino, mas lumalakas ang loob na magtanong at magpuna. Hindi na sapat ang kilalang apelyido upang masabing karapat-dapat sa posisyon. Tinitingnan na ang nagawa, hinihingi ang pananagutan, at tinatanggihan ang paniniwalang ang kapangyarihan ay basta na lamang ibinibigay dahil sa pangalan o koneksyon. Ang paggising na ito ay hindi paghihimagsik, kundi simpleng pagtupad sa tungkulin, para sa bayan, sa kinabukasan, at sa katotohanan.

𝘒𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘢 𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘬𝘵𝘪𝘣𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘺, 𝘣𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘵 𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘩𝘪𝘩𝘪𝘬𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘭𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳 𝘯𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘶𝘢𝘯?

Ang mga panukalang batas na naglalayong wakasan ang political dynasty ay mahalagang hakbang tungo sa reporma. Bagama’t inaasahan ang pagtutol ng mga nakikinabang sa kasalukuyang sistema, ang pagkakaroon ng ganitong mga panukala ay patunay ng lumalakas na panawagan ng mamamayan para sa pagbabago. Hindi lamang ito usapin ng polisiya, ito ay usapin ng pag-asa.

Ang political dynasty ay hindi lamang usapin ng apelyido, kundi ng kinabukasan. Habang patuloy na umiikot ang kapangyarihan sa iilang pamilya, nananatiling nakapako ang buhay ng nakararami. Ang tanong ay hindi na kung biyaya o daluyong ito, kundi kung hanggang kailan hahayaang manaig ang isang sistemang patuloy na nagpapalalim ng agwat sa pagitan ng may kapangyarihan at ng mamamayan. Sa isang bansang may boses ang bawat isa, ang tunay na pagbabago ay nagsisimula kapag ang katahimikan ay napalitan ng paninindigan.

Kaya’t malinaw ang hamon, patuloy ba tayong magbibigay-diin sa apelyido at koneksyon, o panahon na upang ang kapangyarihan ay tunay na maglingkod sa sambayanang Pilipino?

Ang katahimikan ay matagal nang naging kanlungan ng mga dinastiya. Ang hinaharap ay nangangailangan ng tinig, matatag, malinaw, at hindi natitinag.

Sa rami ng taong nagdaan, narito nanaman tayo sa huling buwan ng kalendaryo. Sa paglipas ng panahon at sa pag-agos ng mga alon. Nananatili ang tanong,

𝘒𝘢𝘺𝘢 𝘱𝘢 𝘣𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘯?

Marahil, ang pinakamahalagang tanong ngayong Pasko ay hindi kung gaano karami ang handa sa mesa, kundi kung gaano kalaya ang ating bayan mula sa sistemang matagal nang nakakulong sa kapangyarihan. Ang pagsasabatas ng anti-dynasty law ay maaaring maging higit pa sa isang panukala, maaari itong maging simbolikong regalo ng Pasko para sa sambayanang Pilipino, isang hakbang tungo sa patas na pamumuno at tunay na representasyon.

Sapagkat ang Pasko ay panahon ng pag-asa, at ang pag-asang ito ay nagiging makabuluhan lamang kapag isinasabuhay. Kung may handog mang nararapat hingin ng bayan ngayong kapaskuhan, iyon ay isang pamahalaang hindi pinagpapasa-pasahan, kundi magbubukas ng mas maliwanag na kinabukasan para sa lahat.

Kaya, bilang isang Pilipino, anong regalo ang nais mong ialay, at ipaglaban, para sa bayan?

Students across the University of the Cordilleras have taken their stand last November 18.
They took part in the Baguio-Benguet Walkout, a collective action calling out corruption and demanding accountability from public officials. UC students stepped outside their classrooms to take part in this organized movement.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀

2016 marked the beginning of a bloody chapter for student activism in the post-Marcos modern democratic era. According to Inquirer, the 2022 report of the International Commission of Jurists, “Danger in Dissent: Counterterrorism and Human Rights in the Philippines,” highlighted that red-tagging can be deadly, with several individuals killed after being publicly labeled as rebels or terrorists. This figure excludes the unrecorded violence linked to activism and the countless victims of the brutal war on drugs. Human-rights organizations such as Karapatan and Global Witness report that more than 420–430 political activists and human-rights defenders were killed under the Duterte administration. In response to the calls for justice, accountability, and transparency amid rampant corruption and the drug war’s bloodshed, student activists were dealt with bullets and later officially branded as insurgents through the pen.

The effects were swift, as waves of fear struck the hearts of parents sending their children to school. These fears varied depending on the propaganda at play: the fear that their children might become “armed communists,” or the fear for their safety as they fought for what is right—a fear rooted in genuine concern. But for the administration during those times (and for its ever-robust fanatics), there was no difference; the truth didn’t matter. Only power did. Any challenge to their legitimacy and political longevity was a threat. Violence would be served nonetheless.

When the May 2022 elections arrived, passions collided, and the deafening voices of the youth resonated heavily across the nation. Yet it became an unfortunate moment where preparation didn’t meet opportunity. Power was so intoxicating that the solid machinery built on deceit and evil echoed more strongly in the meekest hearts of Filipinos. Passions were crushed, and hearts were deeply broken.

But come the 2025 midterm elections, the tide turned once more, as 28.11 million young registered voters showed up to fill the congressional seats with competent technocrats who upheld integrity. Bam Aquino placed second in the senatorial race, while Kiko Pangilinan secured fifth. Chel Diokno and Leila de Lima also won seats in the lower house. Several candidates from the Makabayan bloc found success in the 2025 elections—an electoral miracle no one had foreseen.

Despite the forces of evil still gripping power, hope hangs in the balance, where justice and truth barely cling to life, yet refuse to be crushed into silence. The youth are here, and they are angry.

November 18, 2025, will be remembered as the day when the youth once again stood up against the forces of evil—𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘱𝘶𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢 𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘢𝘯. An astounding gathering of 5,000 scholars from universities across Baguio–Benguet coalesced in Malcolm Square, carrying a rallying cry against corruption and for academic freedom. It was a movement that underscored the vital role of academic institutions in molding young minds toward the truth and in preserving the legacies of our national heroes who died for the same cause—only now, the stakes are much higher. An academic lens that cuts through biases, propaganda, and the overwhelming lies and political distractions that pull us further from reality. A framework that protects the delicate balance between academics and activism. The values of radical reform and an evolving understanding of what an effective revolution requires. These are the very institutions that arm us with the tools necessary to bring forth the true liberation of our nation from the wicked—the ones unworthy of being mourned.

The spirit of student participation filled the streets of Baguio City as various universities across the City of Pines showed off their guts to reprimand the unresolved corruption anomalies at the Baguio-Benguet International Students Day Walkout, this afternoon.

A 5,000-strong turnout from Benguet State University, University of Baguio, University of the Cordilleras, and University of the Philippines–Baguio packed Malcolm Square where thunderous chants for transparency and accountability roared in solidarity.

This shows that the youth is tired of the same broken system that runs deep into the halls of our dysfunctional government. The walkout is a show of dismay, but more importantly, it reassures that the voice of the youth counts significantly in shaping and fixing of the flawed establishment that our country runs on.

May narinig akong pagputok—bigla, pati anino ko tumakbo’t hindi ko na maaninag sa takot.
Pero nakita kong namatay ang ilaw—bigla, 𝘥𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘮𝘪 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘺.

Nanlalagkit sa luha,
nangangamoy sa pangungulila,
nanlilimos ng hustisya—𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐚 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐠𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐤 𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐚.

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐰 𝐬𝐚 𝐥𝐮𝐩𝐚 lahat ng iyak na bumuhos.
Bumaha ng sirang pangarap,
tambak-tambak ang mga katawan ng mga hindi mahagilap
at ang mahirap—mas lalong humirap.

𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭 ang mata ng may kasalanan, sa naglalabas ng 𝐛𝐚𝐡𝐨 neto
pero walang balak 𝐤𝐮𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐩 ang mga naagrabyado,
walang 𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐨 ang mabibili para matabunan ang 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐰 ng naghihintay sakanilang mga kaso.

ang layunin naman daw ng mga pagputok ay katahimikan—oo nga naman.
𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘩𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘨, 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘨-𝘪𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘯—𝘰𝘰 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯

𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐧𝐠𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧?
kung ang tudlaan lang naman ng bala ay ang mga walang kalaban-laban

𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐧𝐠𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧?
𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘬 𝘯𝘪 𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵 𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨 “𝘬𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘢𝘯”

Ngunit malabo ang tsansa na hindi 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐨 ang mga bangkay,
lalo na’t 𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐨 𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐰—karapatan mag-ingay

Alam nating kahit mag 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭, hinding hindi napupundi ang mga pananaw.
Alam nating hindi pwedeng may pumuputok,
Alam nating hindi pwedeng may pumapanaw.

𝐌𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐩𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐞 𝐧𝐚 𝐤𝐨𝐭𝐚-𝐤𝐨𝐭𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠,
𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐠 𝐧𝐚 𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐲 𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠.

Kaya sa gabing pinapatayan tayo ng kuryente.
Wala tayong makita, at ang katahimikan ay nakakabingi.
𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐢𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐢𝐩𝐢.

𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐮𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐠 sa mga matang nasanay na umaninag sa dilim.
𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐮𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢 sa kagustuhang magbigay hustisya sa mga kalansay na tinatabunan at
mas lalong pinapailalim.
