I don’t know if anyone will read this, but I hope you’re all okay. With everything happening in our country right now, I just want to say—I hope you’re safe.
My feeds are flooded with updates about the rally today.
NAKAKAGALIT. NAKAKAGIGIL.
It makes me sick. Some of the very people who stood up, who fought for the rights of every Filipino, were hurt. I saw reports of arrests. Of people being dragged. Of people being shot. And I don’t even know what to feel anymore aside from wrath.
Dahil ang akala nating pwede nating matawagan sa oras ng krimen, the ones who are supposed to protect us, are the same ones who did this. The ones pulling the trigger. The ones breaking us apart instead of standing with us. Imbis na ang taong bayan ang panindigan, they chose to follow the authority. The authority full of CORRUPT PEOPLE.
SINO NA LANG ANG KAKAMPI NATIN?
Sabagay... hindi na rin tayo dapat magulat. HINDI NATIN KAKAMPI ANG LAHAT NG KAPULISAN.
That’s why I hope… hindi magtapos dito. Hindi magtapos sa EDSA o sa LUNETA ang pakikibaka. MAGING MATALINO tayo sa susunod na eleksyon dahil mahaba pa ang laban. Hindi tayo dapat tumigil. Kalampagin ang dapat kalampagin. Tumindig kung kailan dapat tumindig.
I’m angry. I’m heartbroken. But more than anything, I’m AWAKE. And I hope we all are. Because what’s happening is not just their fight. IT'S OURS. It’s EVERY FILIPINO'S FIGHT.
And to those corrupt people, to those who abuse power, to those who thrive on violence and fear, your time will come. I know you already have a special place in hell.
Ingat kayo. Hindi tayo nag-iisa sa laban na 'to.
