i just realized, we're all just kidding ourselves with the idea of sprints ano... it's literally still just work na *fast-paced* – sa bagay, synonym nga naman sya ng agile, but how could i have missed that 😩
As an artist, I must admit, I view the world from a predatory/voyeuristic lense. I feel like a creep all the time. Everything is a medium to be exploited and made “beautiful”
If the AFP can kill our civilians, might as well do it with the erring Israeli in Siargao and Palawan. Pero wala eh, lahat ng mga nasa posisyon dito duwag pag kaharap ang foreigner kahit pa namememste sila.
2022.
To unwind, away from typical desk researches and online lectures, I impulsively invited friends on a bike ride that would go through the coastal towns of Bulacan.
This was us after being interrogated by people with firearms asking us why we went near NMIA.
Noong 2019, nagkaroon ng UPD OVCRD-funded project ang mga researchers mula NIGS, CSWCD at ASP. Inaral nila ang epekto ng Bulacan Aerotropolis sa geohazards, livelihood at culture.
December 2019, pinasok ng militar ang community, claiming na NPA recruiters ang mga researchers.

Bago mo tanungin kung bakit may mga kabataang pinipiling tumungo sa mga kabundukan, tanungin mo muna kung bakit hindi inaabot ng gobyerno ang mga lugar na ito.
pag namatay sa bundok, NPA agad?
lumaki ako sa bundok, I had to live my teenage life in fear. biglang susulpot ang military sa taniman namin ay binubunot yung tanim. sa gabi, bigla na lang hahablotin habang naglalakad. bahay niraratrat. di pedeng bumili ng di sakong bigas.
May mga napuntahan ako na never nakakita ng doktor.
Sa far-flung areas sa Minda, may mga sitio na di nakakakilala ng sabon o alam paano itimpla yung kape. Nakaasa sa panahon ang aanihin.
Walang tulong sa gubyerno.
Kaya nandon si Alyssa. Kaya may mga napunta sa kanayunan.
This brilliant piece was by RJ Ledesma. He was a journalist and was in the area of Toboso, Negros Occidental doing community work to help the people there. Unfortunately, he is one of the innocent people that was killed by the AFP.
