TODAY, WE CHEER FOR THE MINORITY 🥹🫶
Palawan, the Philippine's LAST FRONTIER, is known for being pristine and biodiverse. It is now under threat from deforestation due to mining. @DENROfficial, protect our trees and mountains, not the greedy mining companies.
'ITIGIL ANG PAGPUTOL NG PUNO'
Environmental advocates and groups gather along Quirino Avenue to protest the cutting of trees for the 40.62-kilometer Southern Access Link Expressway. 600 trees are targeted to be felled for the project, which will connect the Skyway to the Roxas Boulevard, according to the DENR.

THEY PAVED PARADISE AND PUT UP A SKYWAY
I condemn the DENR for allowing the tree-cutting and earth-balling of HUNDREDS OF TREES along Quirino Avenue in Manila City.
All of these trees cut.
Just to pave the way for the construction of the “Southern Access Link Expressway” (SALEX) by San Miguel Corporation.
The SALEX spans a measly 4 kilometers but four elevated lanes.
A total of 617 trees will be affected.
617 trees — all of it for just 4 kilometers of an expressway which will never reduce traffic because all expressways have been proven to actually induce demand for automobiles according to empirical research and scientific studies.
Hundreds of trees have ALREADY been cut but hundreds more will be cut in the next few days.
I call on President Bongbong Marcos, the DENR, SMC, and the City of Manila to stop this madness.
SAVE THE TREES!

the birds looking at its destroyed habitat.
in a truly civilized society ramon ang is rotting in jail and san miguel corp is penalized for its crimes against climate, wildlife, and the environment. shame.
Putol pa more. Huwag kayong magreklamo kung mainit at mabilis bahain ang area na ito ha. Nakakapanghinyang yung mga naputol na puno along Quirino Ave. Mga pashneya kayo!!!!
@DENROfficial
with all that's happening right now, kung hindi pa rin kayo galit sa nangyayari, hindi na pagiging apolitical yan, sobrang katangahan na ho yan. let's all be smart kung sino ang ihahalal nating mga opisyal sa susunod na eleksyon. parang awa niyo na, tama na sa pagpapa-upo ng mga bobo sa senado.
kung wala pa rin kayong pake ngayon, sana maging eye opener sa inyo itong nangyayari ngayon. sobra sobrang pagpapahirap na ang nangyayari sa mga pilipino at sa pilipinas.
sorry ano ba kasing appropriate na word to describe people who vote the likes of Robin Padilla? Sorry bobo lang talaga ang tamang term NO ELOQUENT WORDS WHATSOEVER
BOBO TALAGA AND IF YOU VOTED FOR THAT GUY AND DID NOT HAVE ANY REMORSE TAS PROUD PA THEN ANG BOBO MO THRU n THRU
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.
hi… 🥺
have you been doing well??
lately i feel like i’ve only been sharing heavy & serious things with czennies, so honestly my heart hasn’t felt very at ease & i feel sorry… but i think today might be my last bubble for a while… so i’m sending this message today with a heavy heart too..ㅠ
i never imagined a day like this would come, or that i’d be saying something like this directly to you like this..ㅠ but as i write this, it feels strange that it doesn’t even feel realㅠ
while you’ve been receiving my bubble, if even just a little you gained strength from it, and if there were moments where my messages gave you even a bit of good energy to get through your day, then i think i’d be really happy, and really really relieved and thankfulㅠ i couldn’t send bubbles super often, but every time i did, i always meant it sincerely and hoped you’d gain strength from it.. 🥺
honestly, when i read your messages, there were so many times i gained strength too, even if you might not realize it. even now, when i read your messages, there are so many moments where i feel comforted and my heart feels warm.
this space called bubble was always fun in that sense & i think i was even happier because you enjoyed it together with me.
but because of that, the fact that my bubble is ending after today might be really sad for you & i’m worried it might make things hard for you, so my heart feels really heavy..
i’ve been working hard on lots of different things. i think i’m working with many different people, in many different ways, and making music! i’m also going around looking for inspiration and experiencing a lot of different things.
i’ll come back to you and czennies soon with a new side of me & new music. i heard that some of you were worried i might retire… i know this is a time where both you & the members might have a lot of worries, so i want to comfort you and be your strength as soon as possible. i’ll really do my best. but not just simply working hard and coming back, i want to truly grow. and i’ll come back with music made from new ways of expressing that growth. you’ve told me a lot that you like hearing my stories… so i’ll try to put more of my stories into my music. i’m also spending this time thinking deeply about myself, finding myself again, and looking for new inspirations to express myself in new ways.
i’ll also prepare a new way to communicate and come back soon. i’m sorry it feels like you’re just waiting… you waited a lot even during my solo album… but this time too, i’ll make sure to repay you with something even better for making you waitㅠ let’s take this time as a moment for both of us to grow, and meet again soonㅠ
it’s not like we’ll never see each other again, but i’ll really miss you. really. i’m not going anywhere, so please don’t be too sad or have a hard time, just wait a little. i’ll come back soon.
thank you so so much for bubbling with me, listening to my stories, always being my strength, making me laugh, and sharing fun stories with me. thank you for always being so kind to me… we’ll meet again soon!
today, tomorrow, and the day after, fighting. 🥺
i sincerely hope you sleep well on all the nights without my messages for a while 🥺
once again, thank you so much & i love you 💚❤️
