Jennifer Laude was a Filipina trans woman that was murdered by white american soldier Joseph Scott Pemberton
This is a great poem, I am in tears. The taglish parts are actually not a bother, it was part of the poem’s design and I think it was used/ expressed well.
I know it’s wrong to wish ill of others, but I hope Pemberton rots in hell, along with those who sided with him. Putang ina, when was it ever right to kill someone just because “She had a dick” and blame her for that???
😭😭😭
Ito ang dalawang mukha ng rebelde sa panitikang Pilipino.
Sa kaliwa, makikita isang binatang aktibista; si Jules (Julian Bartolome, Jr.) mula sa Dekada ‘70 ni Lualhati Bautista. Sa kaliwa naman, si Elias, mula sa Noli me Tangere ni Rizal.
Magkaibang-magkaiba sila ng kinalakhan. Isang middle-class, isang maralita. Isang nakapag-aral, isang indio. Isang inabuso noong panahon ni Marcos, isang inabuso noong panahon ng mga Kastilla.
Si Elias ay sawimpalad. Kung isang dula ang kaniyang buhay, isang trahedya ito. Tragic mula simula– naulila siya ng maaga, at siya na lang ang natira sa angkan– hanggang sa dulo– iniligtas niya ang buhay ni Ibarra, kapalit ng kaniyang buhay.
Si Jules naman, masasabing mapalad kahit papaano. Ang kaniyang drama sa buhay ay tinutugis siya ng militar, dahil siya’y aktibista. Nabilanggo rin siya, tinorture, at naging isa sa mga mapapalad na naka-survive at napalaya.
Si Elias, naiintindihan natin kumbakit siya’y tulisan. Natikman na niya ang karahasan ng buhay sa kamay ng mga mapang-abusong Kastilla. Ito yung justification ng kaniyang pagiging tulisan. Pero si Jules, na pinalaki sa isang environment na hindi nakatikim ng tsinelas o sinturon ng kaniyang mga magulang. Ni taasan ng boses, hindi nagawa ng kaniyang magulang. Paano, at bakit, naging isang Elias din si Jules?
Si Jules ay isang manipestasyon na hindi natin kailangan ng tragic backstory para maging mulat sa kalupitan ng lipunan. Hindi natin kailangan mamatayan muna bago ipaglaban ang ating mga kapatid na namatay sa sistemang bulok. Kailangan lang maging tao, upang ipaglaban ang karapatan ng kapwa-tao.

Some of the Philippines' most famous superheroes
Are DARNA, a provincial girl who transforms into a warrior woman, based on the creator’s single mother (largely considered the Philippines’ greatest and central fictional superhero)–released in a time when everybody insisted that “a female comic book heroine won’t sell” (though the creator never gave up, considering the country itself a woman, and Darna its powerful and beautiful female spirit)
TRESE, a woman who is the head of their family and its responsibility over the streets of Manila and its supernatural relations (a mix of a supernatural crime boss and detective) whose fan following is enormous and growing and whose authority is unquestionable despite being the youngest of six living siblings and the only daughter
ZSA-ZSA ZATURNNAH, a gay man and arguable transwoman (some gay men in the Philippines might in fact be transwomen who self-identify as gay men due to lack of knowledge about other genders, and Zsa-Zsa has expressed delight in being a woman) who, like Darna, can transform into a woman warrior and defend the world from outer threats while dealing with the more personal hardships of her everyday life as an effeminate gay man in a traditional Filipino community
and CAPTAIN BARBELL, a poor, disabled man who is abused by his siblings, who can transform into a strongman type hero who uses his powers for good and to help others in need like he was
So let me reiterate: The Philippines’ most famous comic book and TV show/film heroes are
A young girl, a woman, a gay man / transwoman, and a disabled man.
The only comics representation we really need is more people being interested in our comics, since our representation is a hundred tiers and dozens of years ahead of your average American brooding thirty something white man.

I caught myself smiling and then I realized I was thinking about you
My home will be a home with no loud anger, no explosive rage, no slamming doors or breaking glass, no name calling, shaming or blackmail. My home will be gentle, it will be warm. It will keep my loved ones safe. No fear, no hurt and no worries. I may come from a broken and twisted place but I will build something whole and safe. I’ll sing in the shower again, cook with a smile and dance in all the rooms. I will heal.
“Maybe there’s something you’re afraid to say, or someone you’re afraid to love, or somewhere you’re afraid to go. It’s gonna hurt. It’s gonna hurt because it matters.”
