How have you been processing news of Duterte’s arrest? Do you notice some expressing relief or elation, while other allies anxiety or apprehension? We @siglaresearch celebrate this hard-won victory while also unshaming hard-to-process emotions some of our allies are working thru.

Joy, celebration, inspiration: the whole world is looking for these in our dark times. I’m sure this Filipino story will be a catalyst for movements elsewhere. But it’s also okay that we unshame any feelings we may have of anxiety, apprehension, or survivors’ guilt. 🙏.

It is ironic and discomforting that a perpetrator of corruption and abuses could also be essential to such a rare and precious event for international human rights. This theme of "imperfect allies" is difficult to process. 4/5.

While human rights advocates have full agency and deserve recognition, this moment of justice required collusion (or alignment) with Marcos Jr motivated by his own family agenda for redemption and whitewashing — including at the international scene. 3/5.

Indeed this is a victory hard won for the witnesses, whistleblowers, legal strategists, human rights workers, and coalition-builders who worked tirelessly on community projects. Activist burnout is real from the lethal combo of state harassment + community disillusionment. 2/5.

Some colleagues are processing Duterte's arrest with anxiety and ambivalence. I don’t think that we should shame folks working thru these emotions. 1/5
