I can never hate the common folk who are underprivileged, and voted for the plunderers, and murderers. As marginalized groups, they're mostly vulnerable, and susceptible to the decades long disinformation, and fascist propaganda fueled by the Marcoses, and their cronies; and with the socioeconomic status of the country, there are little to no systems in place to help in upholding their common good.
While the internet is readily accessible to some, there are still a vast majority which don't have access to it. Even education is seen as a luxury for some in extremely remote areas.
However, the educated, the people outside of the country and the privileged in general who still voted for known plunderers, and murderers can go to hell. I hope you're ready to face the consequences of your actions, because believe me when I say, I won't stop at nothing to remind you of what you've done. Congratulations! You have become an accomplice in the continued oppression against the marginalized by selling out the youth's future, and the country's growth to inflate your ego. I hope that the ghosts of the martial law victims haunt you when you sleep.
I also don't usually say this, but if your life becomes miserable in the upcoming years, then you deserve it.
On another note, I've seen some people give up when they saw the unofficial results. I've seen some tweet how hard it is to be a Filipino, and how hard it is to love the country. I've also seen some planning to leave the country.
This may sound hypocritical seeing as I'm living outside the country, and I know it's not just me, but just know, I have never once thought that the Filipino people, and the country are hard to love. Even if they get tired of speaking out, as long as I have a voice, I will speak against the things that are wrong, and I won't ever shut up. I will continue to fight for what I think is right, not solely for me, but for the people without voices, for the interest of the country, and most importantly, for the futures of the youth.
