pasasalamat saan? sa mababang sahod? sa kabataang napipilitang huminto sa pag-aaral? sa magsasakang inaagawan ng lupa?
tuta nga talaga ng imperyalismong US kung higit na pinapahalagahan ang interes ng makapangyarihan kaysa ng mamamayan.

isinusuka na ng mga amerikano yung mga data centres. if it was going to do more good than harm wouldn’t you think hindi nila itatapon sa Pilipinas yan? kaya nga tinatapon dito eh kase it does more harm than good.
potentials of ai?? okay, ai can potentially make you ILLITERATE. it can potentially make you LAZY. it can potentially DRAIN OUR and DESTROY our ecosystem. ai won’t do us any good, it causes fake news, deepfakes, etc. let’s educate ourselves. #NoToPaxSilica
grabe sobrang underpaid na overworked ng mga farmers sa pinas. Sobrang rich ng agri ng pinas, kung mas binibigyang pansin lang din talaga siya hindi lang few crops (pineapples, etc) ang kayang iexport :(
PNP is finding a scapegoat on computer games, instead of acknowledging that the school shooting was the result of the culture of violence and impunity that it bred and proliferated throughout the years.
There is something deeply troubling about a society that is quick to demand the harshest punishment for children, while celebrating convicted plunderers, tolerating corruption, and rewarding leaders who normalize violence.
Young people do not grow up in a vacuum. They learn from the values we model, the behavior we reward, and the systems we build around them. Violence rarely begins at the moment it becomes visible. It is often preceded by bullying, social isolation, neglect, untreated trauma, and countless missed opportunities for intervention.
If we want children to reject violence, then we must also be willing to examine the ways our society excuses, glorifies, and profits from it. We cannot celebrate violence among adults and expect young people to learn a different lesson.
we must free ourselves from the shackles of embarrassment in pursuit of genuine connection, for risk is a natural requirement for authenticity. blurt out a random compliment!!!! commit that faux pas!!!! say your uhms and ahhs!!!!
sometimes the entire point is to confront how ugly, uncomfortable and human these realities are.
media literacy and critical thinking are genuinely declining kasi ang daming viewers na gusto spoon fed lahat ng moral conclusions instead of engaging with the narrative, context, symbolism, character psychology and consequences. people forget that art is not supposed to function as a sanitized guidebook for morality. films are reflections of people, society, power dynamics, trauma, desire, corruption, and human contradiction. reality itself is not morally clean.
basta there’s a huge difference between a film thoughtfully exploring immoral behavior and a film irresponsibly romanticizing it. nuance matters. execution matters. context matters.
I keep thinking about the trees. we’re ravaged by floods, battered by extreme heat and every year we have less and less to protect us. a quarry on sierra madre. a fucking ai data centre in clark. profit over people and land at every turn. i keep thinking about the fucking trees
