Don't Lose Hope.
After watching our candidate, her team, and supporters put all their work, effort, time, money, and tears into the 2022 Elections, it feels like a dark shadow has been cast on our country again and there's nothing we can do about it.
I'm so sorry to the families who were victimized by the Marcoses. I'm so sorry to those who died trying to stop a ruthless and corrupt dictator, only for his son to wind up as President of our poor and starving country. I'm sorry to victims of the Marcos family, to those victims whose bodies were found and those whose bodies are lost in a place that their loved ones cannot find. I'm sorry to those who witnessed Martial Law and celebrated when Ferdinand Marcos was ousted, thinking their children won't have to suffer the way the Filipinos did in the 70s-80s. I'm sorry to those in lower socioeconomic status families who voted for Leni with hopes that she would be able to bring about change as our President. I'm sorry to everyone who hoped for a better future, only for evil to prevail.
Our hearts ache. Today, I watched my 81 year old grandfather sit on his own in a depressed mood because he couldn't believe that after doing his part in history by joining the EDSA revolution and voting on May 9, he was watching history repeat itself. He is too old to worry...but he worries because he cares the future of his family and country when he is gone.
But this is only the beginning. Before things will get better, they will get worse. But things can still get better. We cannot lose hope, because that's exactly what our corrupt government wants.
If you are lucky enough to be in class A and B, please do your part to help the less fortunate. We will suffer, but we will not suffer as gravely as those who live hand to mouth on a daily basis. It is easy to think that they might deserve it because they were the bulk of the voters who supported the Marcos family's return. But the truth is that their return has been carefully prepared for, for decades. Fake news, vote buying, poll manipulation, cronyism, corruption, political dynasties. The real evil lies in those with power and privilege who are educated enough to know better but choose not to do better. There is a reason why education is normally given the smallest budget, because these corrupt politicians benefit from the less fortunate's ignorance and miseducation.
The day will come when we are called to rally again and fight for our freedom. Until then, do not lose hope and do not forget to act as the miracle in other people's lives. The evilness of our government should not push us to tolerate and enable such behavior or worse, be as uncaring and without compassion as they are. Our country can be better if we continue to push ourselves to be better and demand our government to be better.
God bless you guys. To the non-Filipinos, please pray for our country or help spread the news about what is happening to us. We really need it.

Somewhere in the Philippines, this was made
Translation: With an honest government, everyone will thrive.
Here's a photo of Leni Robredo, presidential candidate in the PH and Kiko Pangililinan as her vice.
Not typically the kind of post i do, but i need to put this here. The Filipinos are screaming for good governance

I REGRET BEING APOLITICAL
As I dwelled in my own bubble of my ignorance and apolitical luxury, I turned to realize that chosing to remain neutral was a mistake. A huge mistake. For I turned a blind eye to issues that made the masses suffer and chosing to live in a world of black and white. I would have chosen the side of the oppressor if I ultimately chose to remain neutral until the very end.

So I might not be active for good few days since my country is going to a shitstorm as we speak since they want to elect a dictator's son instead of a woman that has all the credentials to back it up.
we're in the all-time low right now and we're gonna fight the good fight for the country.
I don't pray or ask prayers, but this time. For the sake of my family, for the sake of my husband, my daughter, my parents and sibling, for the sake of every single individual that strives for a better future, please place us in your prayer as we might live the nightmare of 36 years ago all over again.

Hiraya Manawari @hiraya-m - the network I created for the Filipinos.
And no, we will not disregard the country's dilemma. Loud and proud alam namin ang ipinaglalaban namin dahil kami mismo ay may mga pangarap na gustong matupad. Munti man ang komunidad pero lahat ng ginagawa natin ay para sa atin. Para sa ating kinahihiligan, sa ating kinasasayahan, at sa mga pangarap na ating ikakamit.
Ipaglalaban ang Pilipinas.
Hindi mauulit muli.

Reasons why I hate FILIPINOS':
1. Filipino refuse to accept modernization and stick to their inhuman beliefs that are harmful to others.
2. WE HAVE A POOR EDUCATION SYSTEM, CORRUPT GOVERNMENT.
3. We are poor financially but are rich in problems and issues.
4. I AM BORN HERE
5. People are toxic, the environment is toxic, everything is toxic.
6. People here value ego more than morals and ethics.
7. People want a change but don't want to change.
8. People refuse to believe what is right to feed their pride and ego.
9. People here are egocentric and perfect.
10. PEOPLE BELIEVE IN FAKE NEWS BUT NOT IN FACTS AND LEGIT SOURCES.
11. MORALS AND DIGNITY NEVER WON OVER MONEY
12. Youth are never valued, we are just judged and can be seen when we make mistakes.
13.HISTORY can be rewritten easily, it have a lot of versions, and it will be easily believed by anyone.
14. Peoples pride here is so high they make bullshits to backup they unreasonable actions and decisions with myths,gossips and fake news.
15. They are greedy, liars, dumb, egocentric,narcissistic, and bad. Satan is afraid of them.

HELP THE YOUTH STAY EDUCATED ABOUT THE MARCOS DICTATORSHIP
Pre-order these books here.
With Sara Duterte as Vice President and now Secretary of Education, we must prepare for the likelihood of historical revisionism in the youth's education, which first started when corrupt Dictator Ferdinand Marcos' body was allowed to be transferred to Libingan ng Mga Bayani (Cemetary of Heroes) despite the protests of thousands of Filipinos.
"presumptive vice president Sara Duterte-Carpio on Thursday said the Philippines needs a future generation of Filipinos who will advocate for “peace and discipline” in the communities."
The daughter of a man who killed thousands of people, and paved the way for the Marcos family to be accepted by Filipinos once more. She intends to do this under the leadership of Bong Bong Marcos, who has refused to apologize for the murders, tortures, sexual abuse, and theft that his family and cronies have committed.
Before they get their claws deeper into our education system, please try to buy any one of these books for your younger relatives or future children.
We cannot allow them to change history. We cannot lose hope. We must continue to fight for our country, even if it just means staying educated.
If you are not Filipino, please pass on the news about what is happening to our country. Help the world know what is happening to us, because this could happen to you.

I am Yukki, a 20 year old artist/animator who is relying on commissions to provide for my pet cats and my brother who is a person with disability
The election results devastates me, my family celebrates and cheer while I cry in my sleep, worrying and knowing that my freelancing career is crumbling down.
It hurts that my family decided to be toxic to me and disown me because they voted on Marcos while I voted for Leni, It really means to me alot not to let Marcos win because I do not want the history to repeat and get poorer due to the corruption thats still happening.
I do not support the Marcoses due to the crimes they did and how they ruined innocent lives way back in the Martial Law years, and yet my family is blind from reality, silencing me.
But I am proud the fact i voted the right people, i stand up to myself and rebel my family's terrible decisions.
Leni may not won, But she's a winner in my heart and always will be.
