Freedom of Expression
This is a serious cause for concern and raises serious questions about abuse of power in public office, specifically about stifling freedom of expression.

Green Walls
We journeyed to PRRDโs door today, With food in hand, a humble display, For volunteers who stand in the sunโs fierce gleam, Their faces flushed, yet bold in their dream. The heat beats down, a relentless foe, But still they rise, their spirits aglow, With hearts of steel, they guard the ground, Protecting his home, their vow profound. I see their eyes, both weary and bright, A quietโฆ
The Weeping Sky
The rain falls in relentless sheets today, a heavy curtain of gray that drapes over the city, as if the sky itself has lost the will to hold back its tears. Itโs March 17, 2025, and this was meant to be a day of joy, Araw ng Davao, a holiday proclaimed to honor our cityโs spirit, its resilience, its heartbeat. But the streets, usually alive with the hum of celebration, are muted, swallowed byโฆ
The Silent Scars of Public Service
I sit here, scrolling through the news at 12mn, my chest tight with a mix of anger and sadness. Itโs 2025, and Iโm still wrestling with this suffocating silence. I work in the government. Iโm one of those people who clock in every day, trying to do right by my country. But why is it that we, people like me, with hearts and minds and voices, are gagged when it comes to speaking about the currentโฆ

The Unbreakable Bond
In the quiet stillness of a formal courtroom, a powerful image unfolds. A testament to friendship, resilience, and dedication. This captures Atty. Salvador Medialdea, a seasoned legal mind, seated and raising his hand to say hello to FPRRD, a gesture meaning โ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐ก๐ค๐ฃ๐, ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐ค๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ง, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช.โ On the screen before him is former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte,โฆ
Torn and Unbowed
Today, my heart is heavy, heavier than it has ever been. The news of FPRRDโs arrest cuts through me like a knife, and I know Iโm not alone in this agony. For the Dabawenyos, for every Filipino who has stood by him, this is not just a headline, itโs a wound. Our beloved Rodrigo Duterte, the father of Davao City, the man who gave us hope when the world seemed dark, has been taken from us. And forโฆ
My Roller-Coaster Journey to Becoming a Licensed Teacher
My journey in taking the licensure examination.
My journey towards becoming a licensed teacher can be best described as a roller-coaster of emotions, filled with challenges, obstacles, failures, and eventual triumph. Each twist and turn has taught me valuable lessons about perseverance, faith, and the timing of life. In 2010, I graduated with a degree in AB English, unsure if teaching was my calling.

My Pursuit of a Stress-Free Life
Every day, I get up and go to a job that I do like, but it feels like Iโm stuck in a loop. I like what I do, teaching and helping others, but itโs starting to feel heavy because of all the worry and stress that comes with it. When I got to take a break last week, it made me see how much I want a simpler, happier life where I can do what I love without feeling squeezed by deadlines and surroundedโฆ

Whispers of Competition: A Reflection
In the hushed corners of my mind, a ceaseless duel unfolds: the me of today versus the me of tomorrow. Itโs a silent dance of ambition and contentment, a tango between aspiration and self-worth. This competition within me is both a gift and a curse, fueling growth while demanding perfection. Itโs the echo of ambition, whispering in the night, urging me forward even when Iโm on the brink ofโฆ

There are times when we feel stuck in a difficult situation, or when life throws us unexpected challenges. It's easy to get overwhelmed and lose hope, thinking that things will never get better. However, it's important to remind ourselves that there is always something good coming. It may not be immediately apparent, but life has a way of surprising us with moments of joy, growth, and opportunity. The key is to hold on to hope and keep an open mind. Let's trust that the universe has a plan for us and that every experience, good or bad, is an opportunity for learning and growth. Let's keep our hearts and minds open to the good that's yet to come.
Carrying it well doesn't always mean that it's not heavy. Often, we wear a smile to hide the struggles and pains that we bear deep inside. We put on a brave face and walk through life as if everything is okay, even when we are going through tough times. But it's important to remember that it's okay to acknowledge the weight we carry and seek support when needed. We don't always have to carry the load alone. Let's be kind to ourselves and others, and offer help to those who may be struggling to carry their own load. Together, we can make the weight a little lighter.
Today, I stand tall as a testament to the power of perseverance and faith. ๐ช๐
To my family, friends and all those who supported me along the way, thank you from the bottom of my heart.๐ Your unwavering belief in me has made all the difference.
To those who are still chasing their dreams, don't ever give up! Keep the fire of hope alive and trust that you too will achieve your goals.๐๐ป
Thank you, Lord! All for you!๐ฅนโจ
I may not always speak about the battles I've faced, but they continue to shape my journey every single day. In the quiet moments of self-reflection, I've realized that it's okay to heal in silence. ๐ฌ๏ธ๐ฆ
We all carry unseen scars, some etched deeper than others. The unspoken pain can feel like a heavy burden, but it's important to remember that healing takes time and patience. ๐ฐ๏ธ๐น
I'm grateful for the strength I've found within myself and for the unconditional support from those who stand by me. ๐๐ Remember, it's okay to heal at your own pace and in your own way. Here's to embracing our vulnerability and growing stronger together. ๐ป๐ช
I've been working on this short story for what feels like forever, and it's long overdue. But I'm not giving up on it! Writing can be a slow and sometimes frustrating process, but I know that the end result will be worth it. I'm excited to see where the characters take me and how the story will unfold. Hopefully, I'll have it finished soon and be able to share it with all of you.

As we celebrate Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, it reminds us of the hope and new beginnings that come after darkness. Just as Jesus rose from the dead and overcame death, we too can rise from our darkest moments and overcome the challenges we face.
Perhaps you have experienced some of the darkest moments in your life, feeling stuck and hopeless, but God lifted you out of the pit and gave you a new lease on life. Take this Easter as an opportunity to reflect on the blessings that have come your way and the strength you have gained from overcoming your struggles.
As we celebrate the miracle of Easter, let us remember that there is always hope, and no situation is too bleak for God's love and grace. May this Easter bring you a renewed sense of hope, joy, and gratitude for the blessings in your life. Happy Easter!๐๐ซถ๐ปโจ
