From EDSA Revolution to Mendiola Massacere, this is a rumination on how the Philippines become slave under the grim cold shadow of poverty. The story is a reflection of  life of  every Filipino struggling to survive injustice and corruptions in an imbalanced society. The life of Santiago Vargas is microcosm of the whole Filipino people. Excerpts: "I would continue to fight using books instead of guns,"  "A poor man's life is much more colourful, do you believe that?"  " Everyday they struggle with poverty which you won't understand if you haven't experienced it. And in the end you can say what a colorful life I had. It's the same way with teaching you're helping them to succeed by feeding their mind. It's as if they're climbing a high wall and you're the one who gave them the ladder. It's like they are crossing a river and you gave them a bridge. Isn't that a great feeling"All Rights Reserved

BRAINWASHED || BATTLE CRY (Transformers Prime) by Fanfic_Fanatic13

"His mind and body will crumble until there is nothing left but a former husk, and then I will build. I will give him everything you so selfishly denied him; his spark will be enlightened, and then he will become a true Decepticon." ___ "And just as I did with him, you will be broken." "Never." "I guarantee it." ___ Jack stayed behind to retrieve the data stick from the Nemesis database, hoping to give the Autobots the edge they need to collect relics of mass destruction and keep them out of Decepticon hands. He was nearly cornered and dissected by Knock Out, but Ratchet came to his rescue, ready to retreat when they are stopped in their tracks by Megatron. Captured and held prisoner aboard the very ship they had saved, Ratchet and Jack must work together to resist the torture inflicted upon them by the Decepticons. As the Autobots work to get their friends back, Megatron begins to utilize twisted tactics and sick mind games in order to break their wills. If there is one thing the warlord is, it is persistent; and he will have his victory. Rated Mature for graphic (physical, mental, emotional) violence and dark themes. [NOTE: This is a dual-story, meaning the first and second are all put together in one work; this means BATTLE CRY is the sequel to BRAINWASHED, and there will not be a third book. Thank you all for reading.]

After our third anniversary, he started to become cold. He no longer joins me studying, he was even reasoning out that he's tired all the time and that he couldn't send me home. I said it was fine, I can manage. I thought it was just that, but it wasn't. I decided to confront him, I went to his condo and there, my greatest fear welcomed me without warning. He was with a woman, a pregnant woman. He was holding her like she's the most fragile thing on earth. They looked so happy. I didn't know how I managed to compose myself and walked towards them. As soon as our eyes met, he froze. I looked at the woman tensely and lifted my hand as I introduced myself as his classmate and she introduced herself as his girlfriend for a year, already. He said he loves her more. That every time we are together, his mind was with her. He said I make him hard, but she makes him weak. He said I make him feel special, but she makes him feel loved. He told me to punch him and berate him for he would rather end our relationship than leave her and their baby.] But the story, my story doesn't end there because I chose to move forward and be the strong woman that I am.

I'm sorry for the pain I caused by failing to include accurate Filipino culture and in having written from Nora's point of view.

Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s by TiggerBrian

Once she opened her eyes, Si Nian became the fake wealthy daughter straight out of a period drama, only to be sent back to the countryside to marry a divorced man in place of the real wealthy daughter, and on top of that, she had to raise a bunch of brats. Not only that, she also ran into the reincarnated real wealthy daughter. In her previous life, Lin Si Si was pressured by her family to marry an older divorced man who treated her coldly and indifferently. Meanwhile, Si Nian, who stole her wealthy daughter status, married a military officer and lived a sweet and happy life. In her second chance at life, she was determined to steal Si Nian's military officer husband and make her taste the bitterness she had endured. But the real wealthy daughter's plans didn't go as expected. Instead, Si Nian stayed by the side of the older man, amassed a fortune of billions, and her children flourished. When she was brought before the older man, Si Nian was not at all flustered: "This is the man who would rather help others raise children and adamantly refuses to have his own." While others avoided him, Si Nian's eyes lit up: "Firstly, being a mother is a noble act, and secondly, I will be a great stepmother." Years later, after the real wealthy daughter dealt with the military officer's illegitimate child and was robbed of her inheritance, she found herself in unbearable misery. She thought to herself, even if it's not ideal, it's still better than how Si Nian is living. Having children or not, raising others' children - what's the difference from being a nanny? But one day, that terrifyingly cold and fierce wealthy man, who was now tenderly supporting the pregnant Si Nian out of the car, cradled her in his hands with such affection that it was beyond measure. Si Nian angrily pulled the man's hair, "Didn't you say you didn't want children!" The older man gently kissed her hand, "Wife, I was wrong. I'll consider having one next time."

Luminaria by Wrifeima

L U M I N A R I A In desires we chase, what stakes shall we embrace? Pinaniniwalaan na ng karamihan na sa gitna ng kasiyahan ay may kaakibat na kalungkutan. Kasunod ng halakhak ay daloy ng kalungkutan, at sa kahuli-hulihang pagkakataon, hiniling ko na sana hanggang doon na lamang iyon. A price of happiness that pays the condition of sadness Until the very last drop of second I have... I wished to feel the condition of remorse. Yet, I never had the chance to feel anything. Dahil ang kapalit ng kasiyahan ay ang aking kamatayan. I thought my life ends there... but that is how it actually started. Never been in my wildest dreams to die on the day I was born, and worst, to open my eyes where everything is unknown. The place I found myself in, the people surrounding me, and even myself-or the body I have, to be exact. I died as an ordinary, untamed, reckless and free teenage city girl, thinking it'll be that way until my very last breath. However, I was wrong, because I came back to life as a princess with cold chains on my body. Isang prinsesang pinagkaitan ng kalayaan at nakakulong sa rehas ng nakaraan. She was deemed to be a cursed princess, and how unfortunate am I, to have that as my second life.
