+ And lastly, to everyone especially my fellow Filipinos I want to remind you all to please choose kindness. We never really know how our words can affect someone. You might not like them, you might be jealous, or you might disagree with them but please, remember: we’re all human. We all have feelings. We all have battles. And we are all capable of becoming better and kinder versions of ourselves.
Losing Emman last Friday broke my heart deeply. I admired her not because of her background or who her family is, but because she used her voice and her platform to spread awareness and stand up for others. It’s just so heartbreaking how people twisted her words and bullied her until the end. She was only 19. No one deserves to feel so hated or alone. My heart goes out to her family please, let’s respect them, pray for them, and pray for our lost angel, Emman. ️
Please, always check on your loved ones. You never know the battles they’re fighting silently. Sometimes the people who seem the happiest are the ones carrying the heaviest pain. And please — be kind not just to others, but also to yourself.
You are loved, enough, brave, strong, smart, and beautiful/handsome. God is always with you.
If you feel lonely, hopeless, or just want someone to talk to, please reach out. You are never alone.

@Damnbeaches thank you for sharing this and for providing the information of hotlines. my heart also broke when i found out that emman died, (i've been crying about it since that day) i've always admired her as a person, how brave and open she is, and her being the voice of the voiceless. she never deserved the hate she got from people who are supposed to be more mature than her. and lastly, i'll never forget her 'naks naman' and 'mga kababayan' catchphrase. and, i hope you're doing well din, author.
