In a nation drowning in lies and greed, five voices rise from the chaos-an ordinary mother, a group of brave students, a weary worker, an entire country aching for justice, and a government desperate to silence them.
When thousands gather at Mendiola to protest corruption, their chants for truth are met not with answers, but with gunfire. The peaceful rally turns into a massacre, and the truth is buried beneath smoke, blood, and fear.
Maria Dela Cruz, a grieving widow who lost her husband to government negligence, finds herself at the center of the storm. Alongside Lance, Bea, and Rico-students demanding honest education-and Tomas, a worker fighting for fair wages-they become the voices of a movement called Project Liwanag.
As the government tightens its grip and the nation trembles under martial control, secrets begin to unravel. Hidden videos, stolen funds, and human rights violations spark a rebellion that spreads like wildfire.
But the deeper they dig, the darker the truth becomes. Behind the walls of power lies a corruption so deep it threatens to swallow the entire country.
In a battle between truth and tyranny, blood and freedom, will the people rise-or will the flood of greed finally drown them all?

HIDDEN IDENTITY
Two sisters, bound by blood but torn apart by fate, grow up on opposite sides of a war built on lies. Separated at birth, one twin is taken by her father, who secretly trains her to become a warrior capable of carrying on his mission-to expose a corrupt government and clear his name from the false accusations that branded him a criminal. To the world, he is the leader of a ruthless mafia, but in truth, he is a man framed by the very leaders who manipulate the people with their false promises and hidden crimes. The other twin, left with her mother who believed her sister had died, grows up to become a dedicated police officer. Loyal to her duty and convinced she is fighting for justice, she wages war against a mafia group, unaware that she has been deceived by the very system she serves. As the sisters' paths collide, they are forced to confront not only the lies that shaped their lives but also the unbreakable bond of family that still ties them together. In a world where truth is buried beneath corruption and betrayal, their choices will determine whether they remain enemies-or rise together to uncover the real enemy hiding in plain sight.

Scarcity
By 2057, Earth will be a shadow of its former self. Decades of unbridled consumption and climate negligence have left the earth almost desolate. Water, oil, and lush land are relics of the past, valued more than money. All nations have collapsed under the weight of famine, disease, and internal upheaval, leaving only two superpowers: the United States and Russia. They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth. Scarcity is a story of curiosity, critical thinking, corruption, and trust in a collapsing world. Make sure to keep your rifle tight as you explore a dark truth... *This story includes mature themes such as: war crimes and heavy violence* *Perspectives will continuously shift between characters in this story* *All pictures are not real sketches*Complete

It is a collection of my creative writing stories in any genre related to the person who is victimized in bullying, oppression, discrimination, looks down, and says harsh words that result in plotted revenge against the merciless and savage people. I write of this collection writing stories related to my painful experiences and agonies from when I was in Grade 10 until now. I'm not perfect in writings especially in writing correct grammar and typing incorrectly spelling of words but please give me a chance to welcome in Wattpad as a writer. I write of my compositions related to my painful experiences as a victim of bullying, oppression, discrimination, looking down and say harsh words of the merciless and savage people like my neighbor and my classmates. It is better to compose in writing related to my painful experience than to fight for my rights as a victim because they are created the fake truth about me like they say I'm bad that causes no one will stay by my side. This is also my freedom to voice out of pain using composition writing because they are not listening to my side and they are listening to the wrong people. Hopefully, you enjoy reading my composition related to the people's experiences who are always victimized in the maltreatment of everyone. Plagiarism lessens your multiple intelligence. If you are interested to read my creating stories, you have free to vote on every works that I compose.Complete
