It’s past midnight, and once again, I find myself crying over Bobet.
To be honest, I don’t even know how to explain it. I never met him. He didn’t know who I was, and I was never part of his life in any way. Yet for the past few days, I’ve been carrying this heaviness in my heart that I can’t seem to shake.
Part of me keeps asking why I’m taking this so hard. Why does his death affect me this much when we were complete strangers?
Maybe it’s because the more I learn about him, the more heartbreaking it becomes.
Every story people share about him paints the same picture: he was kind, thoughtful, and deeply loved. He wasn’t asking for much from life. He simply wanted a chance to build a better future for himself and the people he cared about.
And that’s what hurts.
It’s the thought of everything that could have been.
The dreams he hadn’t reached yet. The life he was still supposed to live. The memories he was still supposed to make.
He was so young, and he had so much ahead of him. It feels like his story was cut short long before it was meant to end.
I think that’s why I can’t stop grieving him. It’s not just the loss of his life that breaks my heart, but the future he never got the chance to have.
The only comfort I can find is believing that God welcomed him home and that he’s now in a place far kinder than this world can sometimes be.
I know it probably sounds strange to grieve this deeply for someone I’ve never met. But grief doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes a person touches your heart through their story alone.
The closest way I can describe it is this: it feels like mourning a younger brother I never had the chance to meet.
Rest easy, Bobet. You were gone far too soon, but you will be remembered by far more people than you ever knew. 🤍
You know what’s insensitive?
Former Ateneo players being defensive of the institution when people are clamoring for accountability; when the families of the victims are saying they are being kept in the dark. That’s what is insensitive. Nobody asked their piece.
“The people are our bosses. The masa, everybody. The street sweeper, the janitor, the security guard etc. are our boss because they elected us. Our powers emanate from the public so we have to respect that.
Kung yung amo namin ay nagtatrabaho, paano naman kaming mga utusan na nakaupo lang at pasarap-sarap? Mag-iinternet lang?
Samantalang 'yung amo namin, kailangan magtiis sa traffic, pumunta sa factory na mainit. Magtatrabaho 'yung construction worker, napaka-init ngayon ng panahon, pumupukpok doon. These are the people paying our salaries, Ms. Karmina, and yet for us in the comforts of our home, airconditioned? We don't need to go to the Senate for session kasi pwede ang teleconferencing, videoconferencing? Kaya nga we objected, nakakahiya!”
The questioning of THE Karmina Constantino and the response of Senator Erwin Tulfo??? LOUDER!!!!
Senate Sgt-at-Arms and former PNP Director for Operations (2018–2019) Ret. PMGen Ma. O Ranada Aplasca:
Ted Failon: “sinasabi po sa inyong manual, sa pulisya na inyong kinalakihan, 'The police shall not use warning shots during police operation except when the police officer is outnumbered and overpowered...’”
Aplasca: “Hindi po, mali po ‘yan.”
Ted Failon: “Sir, ito po ay official Directorate for Operations PNP Revised Operational Procedures, Section 2.11. Ito ho ang nakasulat mismo sa inyong manual.. With all due respect.”
Aplasca: …
Now we know why so many police operations end up messed up — mismong dating head of operations, hindi alam o dini-disregard ang sariling operational manual ng PNP. 🤦♂️
This is a result of the Senate as an institution being used to a) obstruct justice in the case of Bato Dela Rosa, and b) evade accountability in the case of Sara Duterte.
Wala silang pakialam sa Saligang Batas basta makatakas lamang sila. Mga kawatan!
Gunshots inside the Senate and innocent civilians, media personnel, and staff could have been caught in the middle of it all.
Kung peacefully na lang sana sumuko si Bato, this situation could have been avoided. Grabeng kaguluhan ang dinala mo, Bato.
"Kasi kung ordinaryong tao po yan, lulusubin po ng mga awtoridad ang bahay niyan para i-serve ang warrant of arrest. At ang sinumang haharang ay obstruction of justice po ang kakaharapin"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHERE'S THE LIE?????????
BREAKING: The Anti-Money Laundering Council confirms over 630 covered transaction reports (CTRs) and 33 suspicious transaction reports (STRs) linked to Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, amounting to over P6 billion.
This is why FEU fans kept saying that the team needs to improve their serves...
The service game spelled it out for FEU MVT today. The setting, atks, & blks have always been there, but they're lacking from the service line. Today, they delivered & it helped them a lot. 🙏
