The pain? It doesn’t get better. It gets worse. It hurts and it will definitely hurt more in the coming days, months, even years. You just have to trust in the program and you’ll eventually learn how to love the thing that hurts you most.
Let this sink in:
A heightened transport crisis will greet Filipinos in 2024 as 73.5% of jeepneys (in Metro Manila alone) may not be allowed to operate.
But Marcos gets a 58% increase in travel funds for trips where benefits are yet (if at all) to materialize.
Kahit i-modernize ang jeep kung parehong bulok ang transport system at mismong gobyernong nakaluhod sa interes ng kapitalista, mananatiling delikado ang byaheng ito para sa Pilipinas.
Support the transport strike! Tutulan ang anti-mahirap na jeepney phaseout!

My favorite career advice came from a man, sent to me when I was 23 and suing my company for labor dispute: "You'd go so far if you just learned how to keep quiet."
I didn't. You shouldn't too, especially not because a man said so. Happy women's month! Give them hell 🌻
“But are you really?” He asked.
“What?” I answered.
“Happy?” The audacity for him to ask.

I let out a small chuckle and suddenly everything went quiet.
The kind of quiet that made me think to myself: “Am I really?”
