You there, who was forced to grow up under difficult circumstances. Forced to face the world without any preparations. Mangled and forced to become what you should not be. You think you were all such beautiful wonders until your own blood told you, you were not.

Oh, how have you grown dear sweet child. You are as fragile as ever. Keeping it all to yourself yet everyone can see how you are just holding it in.

Do they do something for you?

No. Because after all, you were forced to do all that. There is no coming back. You will end these all with fragility. Some did help you, they heed with screams, sweat, and tears.

But what does it change?

In this corrupted system?

ALL FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY, BUT FOR A HEFTY PRICE.

This is how similar it is for the current rodeo the jeepney drivers and operators are facing. Forced to be part of modernization while juggling the struggles of being a surviving citizen in a third world country, pleading to put a stop on this phase out.

This is also not limited to the everyday commuters that race with the hands of the clock because of the heavy traffic, limited amount of public transportation to cater to all commuters, and the cost of living.

A feast!

Oh, the scrumptious dishes. Has been passed down in centuries. A tradition that is never missed. Has been evolving with new recipes and ingredients mixed with it. New generations, new ways of feasting upon the dishes. Served only the best, for families at their cozy homes.

Can you encode the message behind this? The meaning of this feast is up to you, reader.

Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, sparked revolution during times of colonization.

He didn't use a gun, or a sword.

He used his words, and a pen.

Sometimes that is all you need. To keep an open mind, to stay curious, and to have the initiative to delve deep into things otherwise ignored. It is so much easier to research in this day and age. Information is widely available, conversations are ready to be had, connections among various historic events to find.

The rest is up to you.

PRO-CHOICE vs. PRO-LIFE

You have probably heard about this debate many times already.
On one side, talk about women's rights, and on the other, save babies.

PRO-CHOICE: having the choice to choose whether the baby is going to live or not. It is to think that what they believe in is also right for them. Making decisions for themselves. Deciding on their own lives

PRO-LIFE: thinking that every unborn baby should have the chance to live and not be ended by abortion. Most of them say, “Every life is precious.” They also think of other options, just not to abort the baby.

Each and every one has different perspectives on what they want in life. It is, in the end, their decision, and we should respect them. It is their life anyway, right?

But what is your opinion about this? Share with us your thoughts!

In the midst of tragedy, it is easy to fall into hopelessness and a feeling that you can't do anything. But that is simply not true. Each one of us has the capability for revolutionary change, and it doesn't even have to cost anything.

BOYCOTT. You may think it doesn't matter, or it does nothing, but the effects are already noticeable. Branches in other countries have been emptied or shut down. Companies have been announcing offers and giveaways, some have even withdrawn their sponsorship completely.

The goal of the BDS movement is to focus the boycott on specific big companies in order to maximize impact. Such companies include McDonalds, Starbucks, and Disney. Keep boycotting these companies. Remember that it is permanent.

You CAN make a difference, and it doesn't cost a buck.

With the rise of Social Media, its power to influence and spread awareness is intermittent and at a point revolutionary. It offers an opportunity to give a voice to those who don't. We have a responsibility to act, and to act NOW.

Stand in solidarity with the oppressed, with the marginalized, and with the minority. Keep spreading awareness posts, and keep being informed. Keep a smart mind and an empathetic heart.

NOT EVERYWHERE IS SAFE.

Why is it dangerous to seek the truth and fight for what is right?
Reporters and journalists have been harassed, threatened, tortured, and, in the worst cases, slain by unknown attackers.

Percival Mabasa, a prominent radio commentator, was fatally shot on Oct. 3 in Las Pinas City by unidentified attackers. According to UNESCO, two more journalists were murdered in 2022. Apart from the killings, journalists have been harassed. In addition, the government silenced journalists in July by shutting down two websites, Bulatlat and Pinoy Weekly.

Every time a journalist risks their life to seek the truth and inform citizens about topics and stories they should be aware of.

JOURNALISM IS NOT A CRIME.

In the face of this quiet mundanity, the flow of this monotonous life. We as people, forget that behind this veil of the ordinary, hides the horrors which our own commit against others.

Let us not forget what we are at our core. We are all one, but the damage says otherwise.

Now, shall we remind you?
