good morning, philippines.
maraming bagay na mahirap tanggapin ngayon. ikinalulungkot ko ang katotohanang sinampal sa mukha ko when nakabangon ako sa kama. masyado akong naniwala na mga kababayan natin ay magiging conscious enough to make decisions that really count.
many say maaga pang sabihin pabagsak ang bansa natin. i'm not sorry for considering this likely outcome. ito lang din ang pananaw ko kasi wala akong tiwala sa mga kandidatong iyon. di ko nararamdaman at nakikita na they will do their best for this country and serve us citizens. all these candidates provide reason for doubt sa records pa lang nila. so please, don't tell me to shut up. sa tingin ko, may reasonable akong dahilan para mag-alala sa kinabukasan nating lahat. i have a right to feel disappointed, sad, or upset if i think if many were robbed of a future.
bilang kabataan, nakakainis. gusto kong mahalin ang bansa natin, pero nakakawalang gana siyang mahalin kung ayaw niyang makinig at mapagsarili ang kaugalian. you've made your choice and you've pushed through with it. ang maaari ko lang sabihin is sana'y makasama niyo kami sa susunod sa kalsada at lansangan. sana'y matuto lahat tayo from what happened, what's going to happen, what will happen; maalala natin, at lumaki sa mga taon na paparating na.
ilang mga buhay ang sinayang natin. i remember how this country is built upon sacrificed lives and love for the country. it's so hard to hear stories of grandparents or parents, people in general, who've fought hard to free the nation from a long dictatorship. soldiers who fought as well for this country. in fact, this should be to every person who'd fought and/or died for this country: we're so sorry. we've failed you. what you sacrificed is being disrespected by the millions. all i can say for now is that, we're gonna try. make attempts to stand up more when necessary, and stay firm, by any means if and when things become hard again.
i hope na, though some may need the distance, we can come together and stand together. let's not be alone and know that di ka mag-isa. there are many others who can and will be there for you.
i hope you all ate a meal today and uminom kayo ng tubig. i hope you makapagbawi kayo sa tulog at pahinga if nagpuyat kayo kagabi or napagod kayo ngayon. kailangan natin ng lakas, please take care of yourselves.
i'll be hoping na mali lahat mga assumptions ko and that mga kababayan and everything living in the pilipinas will be okay.
i'll see you all when i see you.
