to my 2026 self,
i hope you are happier. i hope you wake up lighter, softer, and a little more at peace with the world and with yourself. i hope you smile more without forcing it, and i hope your days feel gentler than the ones you fought through this year.
i hope you are healthier in all the ways that matter. not just in body, but in mind and in heart. i hope you've learned to choose rest without guilt, to close doors that drain you, and to protect your peace like it's something sacred. because it is.
i hope you are loved. truly loved. the kind of love that makes you feel safe, seen, and valued. whether it comes from people, from god, or from your own healing, i hope you feel wrapped in warmth you once prayed for.
and most of all, i hope you get everything you deserve. the breakthroughs you cried for. the opportunities you waited for. the joy you almost gave up on. i hope you look back at me, your 2025 self, and whisper, "thank you for not giving up."
i'm rooting for your softest and strongest year yet.
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE. The Sierra Madre mountain range serves as Luzon's natural fortress. It's the Philippines' first line of defense against climate-induced disasters such as tropical cyclones. Losing her will cause more trouble. Protect her as she does us. #UwanPH#FungWong
🌿Sierra Madre is our shield.
More than just a mountain range, the Sierra Madre is a 540-km natural fortress that helps weaken typhoons before they strike Luzon.
🌏 Protect the Mother of Mountains before it's too late. #SaveSierraMadre 💚🛡️

Dear @IntlCrimCourt — the Philippine Senate does not represent the sentiment of many Filipinos on this issue. If the ICC yields to conditional release for Duterte, it tells the world that crimes against humanity can be negotiated down to comfort. Justice isn’t meant to be convenient for the accused. With the Duterte family still wielding power in the country, any form of conditional release is likely a license for the former president to intimidate drug war survivors, influence them, and obstruct the course of trial. He must remain detained until justice is served.

How big is ₱35,240,000,000.00?
To exhaust that amount in just one year, you would need to spend a staggering ₱96.85 million every single day. Sounds unreal? Even if you decided to spend ₱3 million a day, it would still take you 32 years and 4 months before the money finally runs out.
In a real-life situation, ₱35.24 billion could have funded the complete 4-year college education of 1.7 million Filipino students, assuming an average tuition of ₱20,000 per semester. That’s an entire generation of future professionals whose dreams could have been secured with this amount.
That is how massive ₱35.24 billion is. Ganun ka kalala, Zaldy Co!
