i was 17 when a man slipped his hand into my oversized denim jumper. 18, when a man unzipped my large coat to touch me. at 19, i was wearing baggy pants, only still to be groped. stop blaming women for their clothes. start holding men accountable for their actions. #HijaAko !!!

Siguro mas-acceptable ito kung ka-close mo yung tao, pero dahil sa “power dynamics” dito —Kuya as the server and Ms. Alex as the served— hindi niya magagawa yun ☹️ Service workers are our equals. It’s their job to serve, but it’s our job to give them the respect they deserve.

I do agree, it’s not easy.. but it’s not impossible. At the end of the day, a beauty guru is still a citizen of a nation, an entertainer is still a human with rights. We’re all affected by politics, whether we like it or not.

Not all influencers can talk politics.. why? Because we are not experts of it all. A beauty channel will not be explaining how a computer works. An entertainer will make content to try to entertain. We have content creators talking politics which is fine too. You do you.
