"The fight to restore permanence to what has become perishable cannot be fought by writing poetry, though it plays a part. More urgently...we need to put our bodies out on the streets, in protest actions that in no uncertain terms protect the facts of our history from erasure."

Ito si Tatay Elmer kahapon sa UP Diliman, sa gitna ng pagbabasbas ni Fr. Robert Reyes sa lahat ng mga jeep na nakaparada sa Universitt Avenue — at sa mga tsuper at kanilang pamilya — bago ang protest caravan.

Malaki pa rin ang ngiti sa gitna ng pakikibaka.

Ito si Tatay Elmer mula sa PISTON.

Nakulong noong 2020, gitna ng pandemya, dahil nagprotesta para sa ayuda.

Noong 2022, siya ang isa sa pinakatampok na sumuporta sa Leni-Kiko tandem.

Ngayong 2023, nasa lansangan siya muli upang ipaglaban ang kabuhayan.

Sobrang waley nung maingay sa 7/22 9:50PM Power Plant screening ng Barbie, sayang pera. Masaya lang naman manood kung privileged ka, pero maganda din kahit lalaki pwede kasi andun naman si Ken kinasal kay Clone Maine. Pero bakit laging nakahubad???

I can feel the sun on you ☀️
Warm me up the way you do 🟠
After all the clouds have dried ☁️
Here's a jar of tears I've cried 🫙
Keep it in a sacred place ⚪️
Hold me in your humble grace 🫂
'Cause I can feel the darkness sometimes too ⚫️
But I can feel the sun on you ☀️

I was told not to write about the pain, so I’m writing about the split. I read the report: and the only way to your heart was through incision. Stop shaking, ignore the blood; I’m not using that card, never the “wounded healer.” I’m not a pro, I’m just the guy who survives.

Melania Flores, UP professor and former President of the All UP Academic Employees Union, is being arrested from her home in UP Diliman and will be brought to Camp Karingal.

Completing the book last year felt like a hobby, but something really special & solemn as if I was writing one grand diary to connect the past and the dead to the present. After the whole process, one thing I’m proud of is that I now know what matters (what lives, what survives)

I thought there were rules about washing, and choosing which brand didn't irritate the skin. For the first time, I stopped pretending to be free; I stopped asking questions, I just let it in. I asked my friend after, will this be written in my medical history? It depends, really.

[Kyle @jon_kairu]

Remember the phrase, “I know the rules and I know my rights”?

This was uttered by @dyansakalye when she and 7 others were illegally arrested during a protest vs the railroading of the Anti-Terror Bill last June 5, 2020.

Since Jan 10, she and Armand Dayoha have been missing.

I wanted to explain to the taxi driver that I do intend to go to this drinking bar for undergrad, to stop hesitating to drop me off because of how I looked, to allow me to explore the anxious and unconscious—memory never serves me right anyway. I paid and thanked and kept quiet.

I entered Coffee Project and hated that it had to be the first place where we met. I had to find my seat to find out how I’d sit on it. I wore my best brown oversize, he had a talent tucking in. Chris said my eyes looked mataray. I knew it didn’t have any effect against him.

My simbang gabi wish last year was Leni Robredo and nothing else. What happened next just means that God knew better: the election is not the final battle, nor its results the ultimate end. There is hope, and there is help 🎀

There was no blood, so there was no emergency. Actually, what made it slow is what made it sketchy. I tried waiting for a follow-up, before I learned that I will never win against a lawyer. Keyword: Scratch. Keyword: Premature. Keyword. The case of consent versus consistency.

My first visit to the National Library as an author 😍 this spread is about my family, and this book is for everyone who believed in me 💙

[Hart #95Kabataan @hnaran_]

My consecutive Saturday talks (first in UPD, then in BCC) focused on the kind of faith that listens and liberates. Common themes are indifference, disinformation, and what we can do as Christians to bring salvation in the here and the now.

Kristiyanong Kabataan, Lumalaban 💙

[Hart #95Kabataan @hnaran_]

I would like to believe: that the lie isn’t obvious (and what’s obvious isn’t lie), that the view isn’t skin, how many floors and how many doors before we can take it in. What is true is I love you, what is lie is you love me too.
