Over the last week, I spoke to a lawyer, a church worker, an economist, a journalist, and a psychologist about their experiences and knowledge on Ferdinand Marcos’ Martial Law in 1972. 🇵🇭
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.

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.
tanong lang po.. bakit po “negative campaigning” yung pag-call out ng criminal allegations ng isang kandidato pero hindi ang pagtawag na “loser” o “lugaw”?
unpopular opinion: just because you’re nervous, doesn’t mean you have anxiety. just because you’re sad doesn’t mean you’re depressed. self-diagnosis is not a thing 😫 pls don’t trivialize mental health disorders 😭
how would it sound if we had an “anti-corruption bill” and put politicians on surveillance for 60 days, arrest them without warrants and detain them for 14 days, based on suspicion?
para sakin, hindi naman kailangan na MAYAMAN siya. because wealth can come and go.
mas importante ang FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY— someone who is goal-oriented, driven, diligent, & wise with their finances. these are character traits more permanent than one’s bank balance.
shoutout to that guy who felt the need to comment “you look fat” on my livestream today.
almost lost myself, but realized:
he has a right to his opinion, but i have a right to ignore it. and while he’s busy trying to bring a woman down, i’m busy empowering women. 🤷🏻♀️
'I WILL BE RUNNING FOR THE SENATE'
Human rights lawyer Chel Diokno disclosed on Wednesday that he is running for the Senate in the 2022 national elections.
He also said he is in support of 1Sambayan’s efforts to come up with a united slate.
Lloyd had one of the biggest and most genuine hearts of the YouTubePH community. He was always filled with kindness, warmth and joy.
Maraming salamat, mahal na mahal ka namin.
if me raising my voice on injustice & our harsh political realities is “toxic” to you, just unfollow. it’s really that simple. :)
im not, and will never be sorry for fighting for more for our country 🇵🇭
President Rodrigo Duterte urges the Commission on Audit to stop making audit reports that only make government agencies appear to be tainted with corruption.

In situations of injustice, neutrality only benefits the oppressor.
Pick a side. Be partisan. You have the right to choose what to stand up for.
I hope you choose justice.
why is a network that has done so much for filipinos, providing 11k+ jobs, info (esp in this pandemic), and entertainment being shut down.. but POGO disregards our country’s laws AND YET is still allowed to run free & continue operations?
#NoToABSCBNShutDown
again, this is a HEALTHCARE problem not a PEACE & ORDER problem.
why is our gov’t prioritizing condemning our people instead of caring & comforting them?
JUST IN: Senate approves on final reading a bill raising the age of sexual consent from 12 to 16, in a bid to provide stronger protection against statutory rape. Twenty-two senators voted for the measure while one abstained |

there’s a difference between unfriending and unsubscribing out of differing political PREFERENCE and differing PRINCIPLES.
when it comes to support and [close] friendship, I draw the line when it is no longer just an issue of choice, but human rights.
my little bro showed me his drawings and I gave an exaggerated, “wOOOooOw YOURE SO GOOD!”. he whispered a little, “yes!” to himself and ran away shouting, “ATE’S PROUD OF MEEEE!!!”
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.
I understand Ate Donnalyn—pero sana maintindihan rin niya na hindi ganun ka simple para sa mamamayan na maghanap lang ng work na papakililigin ka. Some even struggle to find jobs with fair wages & work hours
Oo, kailangan natin maging grateful, pero valid mapagod at malungkot.
‘BAKIT MAY SAD DAHIL BACK TO WORK NA?’
Vlogger Donnalyn Bartolome on Facebook says she’s “feeling lucky” to return to work after the holidays and advises those who dread it to change their mindset this new year.
i did. all 63 pages (+the HSA). you can too if you would like to do something other than attempt to discredit me and my stand. :)

i’m so sorry our system has failed you, tatay elmer.
This post makes me sad. How can we normalize and encourage changing minds and political beliefs if we welcome these new opinions with bitterness and condescension?
I'm w/my BBM-voting Ilokano relatives this afternoon. Unhappy sila sa presidente nila. Alam niyo kung ano pang sabi nila?
BBM daw stands for "Budol-Budol Marcos." Sabi ko naman, "Binoto niyo 'di ba?"
Isip-isip ko, ginusto niyo naman iyan. I say — dasurv. 🤭

Yes, “the sins of the father are not the sins of the son.” But what has the son done to prove he does not carry the dictator’s legacy*?

as someone who overthinks & stresses over every little thing, its so comforting to know there is a God who loves me enough not to just walk with me but carry my burdens as well 😢
me (jokingly): do you think indoor plants feel left out when it’s raining outside?
mom: no, the nice thing is, God created them differently.
maybe the reason we don’t fit in is simply because we weren’t made to! ✨
i hate it when people add “naman” to their compliments bc it makes me feel mediocre hahahaha
ex. it’s good naman. you look pretty naman. it’s fine naman.
WELL I DIDNT NEED YOUR OPINION NAMAN
An innocent man would not need immunity. A genuine servant would not exploit a public service position. A true leader would not dishonor any political seat.
WATCH: President Rodrigo Duterte said his possible vice presidential bid in 2022 is to protect him from being held legally accountable for wrongdoing, claiming the position gives him immunity from suit.
the same people who are telling me to just “accept and respect” are the same people who voted for someone who spent almost 5 years and over ₱66M on electoral protests
.. it hasn’t even been a week.
my grandma told me:
“i make the most mistakes [in the family].. because im the only one brave enough to do the unknown.
but what’s important is that i dont repeat my mistakes. i learn.”
frontliners are dying. funds are being misplaced. people are rioting from lack of relief goods. workers are starving. people are violently being arrested.
and NBI is using their resources to subpoena a mayor for doing everything he can for his people?
no. words.
#ProtectVico
Look: NBI Anti-Graft Division sends a letter request to Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto & Chairman Emiliano Ramos of Barangay Talon Uno, Las Pinas. They are requested to explain their alleged violations on the implementation of RA 11469 or Bayanihan to Heal as One Act.
KJ kung KJ.. mahilig rin naman ako makipagbiruan, but this joke doesn’t sit right with me.
Pula o rosas, Pilipino parin yan, may dignidad. They still deserve our respect. Insinuating them to be trash is a little below the belt. ☹️
why is “bailing” on people becoming a norm? is running on filipino time and always being late not enough?
petition to start a new filipino trait: being respectful of people’s time & efforts. 🙂
