Hey guys, I know I don’t post much in this blog anymore and I am not exactly sure who will see this but I’m posting this because today is the Philippine Presidential Elections and, just like what other people here are already saying, we’re fighting for our lives right now.
We are fighting against the return of dictatorship in the country. We are fighting against the continuation of corruption and injustice. We are fighting for a better future. We are fighting, so that we may finally know peace.
Today, multiple issues regarding the elections have come up. Vote-Counting Machines (VCMs) “malfunctioning”, SD cards missing, people getting PAID for voting for the dictator’s son and his party, and more. Even the commission in charge of ENSURING FAIR ELECTIONS is failing to fully understand the grasp said issues, wasting people’s time and votes.
If you do find this post and read it, all I ask is that you share the news about the Philippines. Anything about today (May 9, 2022), about Halalan 2022/PH Elections 2022, about BBM and the Marcos Family, about Leni Robredo, Kiko Pangilinan, Chel Diokno and the rest of Robredo’s senatorial slate (+ Neri Colmenares),
and if this inspires you to learn everything else, then please do.
We are asking for your help, not in votes, but in sharing what is happening here to the rest of the world. Whatever happens, whatever the results are, we want the whole world to see what is going on. (But thank you to the foreign news outlets who have been speaking on this).
All the Filipinos are asking for is a fair government, where lives are recognized and uplifted. We cannot be kept in the dark again, we have had enough.
And if we need to meet in EDSA once again, then so be it.

I am too frazzled right now to check for more—will continue to do so once I have calmed down—but here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I know there’s more.
I know there SHOULD be more.
Let every news outlet existing talk about the Marcoses, Marcos Sr’s Martial Law, Marcos Jr's disinformation campaign, and everything else in between.
Let them talk about Leni Robredo and her work as a lawyer representing marginalized individuals and as the Vice President of the country, about Kiko Pangilinan and his advocacy in improving the agricultural sector of the country, about Chel Diokno and how he and his father Ka Pepe Diokno have made contributions in human rights and pro-Filipino economic legislation over the years, about Risa Hontiveros and how she has constantly been advocating for Filipinos' quality of life and even authored the Mental Health Act, the Safe Spaces Act, and the Raising of the Age of Sexual Consent Act, about the other members of Robredo’s senatorial slate and other candidates who chose to run for a position in the government FOR THE PEOPLE.
Let them talk about how voting for Robredo and the others is not about bringing these people into power per se, but about the good governance they represent.
Let them talk about the Filipino people—not as the brainless sheep who deliberately chose to be ignorant, but as victims of a long-running and deeply-ingrained campaign that takes advantage of their ignorance and does everything to keep them ignorant.
Let the whole world know what is going on in the Philippines. We need them to watch us. We need them to listen to us.
We aren’t an isolated case. Like many others have already said, disinformation can happen to anyone, regardless of the country you are from. So read, watch, and listen.
Because your home can be next.

why am i even studying for my degree when the possible new president of the philippines (bbm 🤮) doesn't have one and faked his credentials?
why is an actor (robin padilla), who has zero experience in governance and is actually a sexist leading the senatorial race; when have candidates who are lawyers, human rights defenders, and over all more qualified than him can't seem to make it to the top 12 (e.g. chel diokno).
why are we over-looking people who has credentials and clean track records?? ang taas-taas ng standard natin sa ibang bagay pero sa mga politiko natin, hindi?
why are we ignoring leni robredo's contributions to our country especially during the pandemic? tha fact that she was being belittled by the duterte administration but was still able to achieve things says a lot about her leadership and skills.
why are we ignoring our history?
forgetting about the people who suffered under the marcos' regime, the wealth and resources that was taken from our country. we are still suffering because of what they did and we will suffer more under the hands of another marcos.
to anyone that would say "but they built infrastructures", are you really putting more value on infrastructures than the lives that were lost? the families who still suffer because of them? the victims who were never found? the people who were tortured, raped? do you not value their lives?
also, sa dami-dami nilang utang dapat lang may pinagawa sila but majority of the money they borrowed, they used it only for themselves.
foreign investors in our country are already pulling out. the stock market slowly going down. do you know why? because they don't trust marcos. our economy will suffer.
those you are rich enough will not experience the consequences of this elections. do you know who will? the poor, the marginalized, the people who we should have been thinking about when we voted.
to my fellow filipinos, do not stop protesting this election. this is for our future. we must stand our ground and fight for what is right and what we deserve. the comelec was biased and because of that we lost a bright future.
the entire world is watching as a dictator's son take power.
i am not crying because leni lost and bbm won. i am crying because our country lost and our people will suffer.
think not for one's self but for our nation.

Our elders and my parents aren't on Tumblr, but I need to say this...
To the victims of martial law, to my parents and the people who participated in the People Power Revolution (Feb 22, 1986 – Feb 25, 1986) to fell a dictator, to every hero who has bled for a country and a people that you deemed worthy of dying and fighting for...
We are sorry... 🙏
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We did our best to stand for good and honest governance, to campaign for a presidential candidate who is worthy of the seat, to spread facts and straight information, to help others make the right decision for the nation.
I, at least, believe I made the right choice. I voted for the candidate with the right credentials, for the woman whose heart is in the right place, with a clean track record on governance as Vice President.
Tumblr media
Ms. Leni Robredo and her entire team didn't lose today. When this election ends, she gets to settle down and live a quiet life with her daughters.
But the Philippines has lost... And it's so fucking heartbreaking that so many have chosen a thief, a liar, and a criminal to be the next president.
(And don't even get me started on the Senators... Oooh boy xD It's a circus of unqualified people in there. *cough cough*
Side note: As a brief example of what we're dealing with. The majority of people voted for a freaking action movie star because he's good-looking over Attorney. Chel Diokno -- a board-certified lawyer and educator who is all about offering FREE legal assistance to anyone who needs it.
Our future lawmakers are going to be people with graft and corruption cases, and too few actual lawyers or experts in medicine and health, agriculture, crisis management, housing, local governance, family, and human rights, etc.)
Ya'll this country is fucked. xD
Disclaimer: I don't do political posts on my Tumblr, because I strongly dislike it, and I won't ever do this again. But this is the only time I will... If it gets taken down (and not by me), 🤣 then it's obvious what's up. Because this election marks a turning point in my country, and the results just suck.
It reeks of fraud, dishonesty, and spite. And I hope to the heavens that this election is a fraud instead of the people truly choosing Ferdinand Marcos Jr...
Because if it's the latter, then this country is doomed. It will go up in flames... And there's nothing we can do but brace for the inevitable collapse.

Human Rights Week, muling ginunita sa UPIS
Tumblr media
Pinamunuan ng Departamento ng Araling Panlipunan at ng Kilusang Araling Panlipunan (KAP) ang paggunita ng Linggo ng Karapatang Pantao sa UPIS noong Disyembre 4 hanggang 7. Ipinagdiwang nito ang ika-75 anibersaryo ng proklamasyon ng Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) na naglalayong protektahan ang likas na karapatan ng bawat tao sa mundo. Ang tema ng selebrasyon ngayong taon ay nakasentro sa salitang Cebuano na PANIMUOT o consciousness sa wikang Ingles. Sa tema ding ito hinugot ang inspirasyon para sa konsepto ng senses na pumalibot sa apat na aktibidad na isinagawa.
Una ang LIKHA: Human Rights Art-making Competition kung saan inatasan ang mga mag-aaral na sagutin ang tanong na ano ang estado ng karapatang pantao sa Pilipinas?
Sa Grado 3-6, sinagot ito sa pamamagitan ng on-the-spot poster making competition. Nagwagi ang mga sumusunod na pangkat sa nasabing kompetisyon:
Tumblr media
Binigyan naman ng isang linggo ang mga mag-aaral mula Grado 7-10 upang lumilok ng eskultura ayon sa kanilang naging tugon. Inanunsyo ang mga sumusunod na nagwagi sa nasabing patimpalak:
Tumblr media
Ibinida ang mga obrang nilikha para sa nasabing kompetisyon sa TUNGHAY: Human Rights Exhibit mula ika-5 hanggang ika-7 ng Disyembre.
Tumblr media
Nagsilbi namang culminating event ang LAHAD: Educational Talk on Human Rights. Ang tagapagsalita para sa Grado 3-6 ay si Gng. Maria Cristina Pargas Bawagan, isang aktibista at Martial Law survivor. Inimbitahan naman si Atty. Chel Diokno, isang human rights advocate, para sa hayskul. Dito, pinangunahan ng mga tagapagsalita ang diskusyon tungkol sa papel ng kabataan sa pagsusulong at pagpapahalaga ng karapatang pantao.
Sa talk ni Atty. Diokno, ipinaliwanag niyang maihahanay sa tatlong kategorya ang mga karapatang pantao—ang right to life, right to dignity, and right to develop. Gamit daw ang tatlong kategoryang ito, mas madaling maipapaliwanag ang importansya ng karapatang pantao. Tinapos niya ang kanyang talumpati sa isang call and response: sa tanong na “Ang pwersa ng kabataan?”, dumadagundong na sinagot ito ng mga mag-aaralang UPIS ng “Power ng bayan!”
Aniya, “Sana huwag kayong madala sa ibang mga kahenerasyon ko na [nagsasabing] manahimik nalang kayo o huwag kayong makialam. May karapatan kayong makialam, dahil atin ang bansang ito. The Philippines belongs to all of you. [Mayroon kayong] power, dahil kayo mismo ang power ng bayan.”
Tumblr media
“Mga gabay na tanong ‘yung binigay namin sa kanila. Paano maipapaintindi sa konteksto ng junior o senior highschool ‘yung karapatang pantao? Anong pwedeng papel ng kabataan sa pagtataguyod ng karapatang pantao? Malaya silang sagutin o ipresenta ito base sa kanilang personal na karanasan,” paliwanag ni Ginoong John Joseph M. Tablizo, ang tagapayo ng KAP at lumikha ng konsepto ng PANIMUOT, ukol sa paghanda para sa LAHAD.
Dagdag pa dito, pinangunahan ng KAP ang paglathala ng mga publicity materials sa ilalim ng TINDIG: Freedom Wall and Social Media Campaign on Human Rights. Makikita ang mga ito sa mga Google Classroom at sa KAP Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/KilusangAralingPanlipunan.
“Mahalagang laging alalahanin ‘yung karapatang pantao dahil kaakibat nito ‘yung consciousness o ‘yung pagiging mulat din natin bilang mga mamamayan, bilang mga Pilipino.” Ani ni Ginoong Tablizo patungkol sa tema ng PANIMUOT.
Sa pagdiriwang ng Linggo ng Karapatang Pantao, nais ni Ginoong Tablizo at ng buong Departamento ng Araling Panlipunan na magsilbing tanda ang PANIMUOT na kahit tayo’y mga mag-aaral pa lamang at may iba’t ibang pagpapakahulugan sa konsepto karapatang pantao, kailangan natin maging mapanimuot sa mga karapatan dapat nating natatamasa. // ni Eda White

As much as how the elections here is rigged, it seems so weird that people would rather have a dictator's son (bongbong) be in a political position rather than a human rights lawyer's son (Chel Diokno)
there's a lack of nuance to simply blame people for voting for the wrong candidate— obviously, there are many rich assholes with proper education who voted for shitty people, but we also have to remember that many people voted for bbm, sara, and everyone else under their hand, because they were manipulated by them.
bbm is rich. we know he handed out money during the campaign season and elections. the philippines is poor. a lot of people also don't have the privilege to be politically educated because our education system is unpolished by politicians who are scared of educated voters.
these politicians preyed on filipinos' vulnerability. many people who are bbm supporters are brainwashed into thinking this because of bbm's constant efforts to manipulate, bribe, and rewrite history. many of them are not doing this by choice, and as much as i want to get mad, the real person we have to get mad at are those who are rich and still consciously voted for bbm and bbm, sara, and all the other people under them. it's their fault, not their victims'.
