The Philippines had 12 Olympic medals since 1928! We had 4 medals in Tokyo 2020. Now we have 3 chances to win an Olympic medal after Carlos Yulo officially makes the final of 3 events of the men’s artistic gymnastics in Paris 2024 Olympics Games.

Today is Election Day!

My siblings and I walked to a nearby public school, which served as our precinct, early this morning to vote. We were lucky that there weren't a lot of people during that time and the wait was probably an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. I brought my Kindle along so I could read and curb my boredom. the sun was hot but thankfully, the holding area was covered and a light breeze was blowing by.

After I cast my vote, I fed the ballot in the vote counting machine, checked the receipt before placing it in another box and got ink dribbled onto my right forefinger. I waited for my brother and we walked back home together by 8:45. In a stream of social media posts complaining about long lines and VCMs not working, I think we were still very lucky to have a good experience. Also, thank you to the volunteers and teachers who are manning the precincts today.

I voted for the candidates who I think not only best encapsulate the values I hold dear but also those who I think can make this country a better place. I am a bit too cynical and disillusioned to think that change can come immediately but I want a government that is fair and right, one that will not suppress free speech or put their interests first over the country's.

I am at peace with my choice - ang boto ko ay para bayan (my vote is for the country).

I still feel some anxiety and it probably will not go away in the next few days until all the votes have been counted but there is still also some hope in me that the universe will provide, that there has to be a balance somewhere. I know this is a much heated battle. Years of revisionist history and rampant fake news has done it's damage and people end up believing in this which sadly, is difficult to correct or combat but maybe that is part of the beauty of democracy after all - everyone has a say on what they want, who they'll vote for, where they see the next six years going.

When this day ends, we shall all wait to see where that democracy will take us.

I really hope it's to a good place.

I'm sorry but its Independence Day and it is my duty as a Filipino Citizen to uphold the responsibility of reblogging every #rp612fic post ever.

Brace yourself for the spamming.

Ika-12 ng Hunyo.

Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!

-kahit malayo sa malaya ang pakiramdam ng ngayon

Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan

-para sa iniwang pag-asa ng mga bayani ng noon.

Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan

-para sa bayan na ipinaglaban, ipinaglalaban at ipaglalaban

Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan

-bata, hindi panahon upang magdiwa, hindi maligaya kaya’t imulat ang mata

Araw ng Kalayaan

-paano mo nagagawang magdiwa kung isa ka sa mga buwaya?

Kalayaan

-ni hindi ko inakala na darating ang panahon na manghihingi ka ng kalayaan sa kapwa

Laya,

- bata isigaw mo ang mga hinagpis kailangan ka ng Inang Perlas

- huwag kang magpakabulag sa mga kampon ni Hudas

- labanan ang pasismo, magalit ka, mag-aklas ka!

- bata, laya.

- tayo ang magsisibling uling sa ating sariling pagliyab.

Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan

- hindi pa malaya ang bayan

- hindi pa tapos ang laban.
