“Uzziah’s fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong. But when he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction.” 2 Chronicles 26:15–16

Pride is a precipice to destruction.

Cry out to those parading over its edge.

UP sings their hymn 'UP Naming Mahal' with the bonfire.

UPD Chancellor Fidel Nemenzo earlier told the UP community that the championship gave hope despite a very sad week, and courage because there are more battles to be fought. | via @JervisManahan

Entayo agwagwag?? Bro haan mo ba makita nga i am drained and tired from all the stress of this past week and i am overwhelmed with all my other problems and life responsibilities ket siyempre adi lesgow pagsabatan ta ngay

Coz it's not just abt the position & title. Leaders will always find ways to serve! Opposition is given. Im more thrilled on how this will evolve, one reason -- multigenerational creativity and spirit fostered and merged. Could this be the exciting part? 💕

"The political elites may have won the battle through their machinations and massive disinformation, but it is up to us whether this is the end or just the beginning."

My column today on Bongbong Marcos' unthinkable victory and Leni Robredo's unfinished campaign:

@jptupb @eunnae Google sheets na lang pala! Haha shared drive if may free resources din.

[mlysbl @mlysbl]

Shut the source of the trigger. Easy if soc med. What if, it's from a place you considered safe? Those close to heart? San sila tatakbo? Kaya ang daming disillusioned and confused ngayon. The pain is unimaginable.

[mlysbl @mlysbl]

I think it's too simplistic and shallow to assume that mere difference in political stance severed some relationships. Contradicting, inconsistent behavior and double standards are more damaging -- double that if its fr people closest to you. For that also, we grieve.

@_shunnysideup Hahaha ghorle akyat ka na lang, hati hati kami sa pamasahe mo or pagdrive kita 😂

[mlysbl @mlysbl]

Sa mga kapwa grieving and processing the recent happenings, on top of other things: BE WITH YOUR PEOPLE -- ur mentors, leaders, and friends who share the same values and principles (The safest space now, I think). Bec not everyone who says they understand, really understands.

[mlysbl @mlysbl]

@jptupb Hahaha please be responsive to the challenge.

[mlysbl @mlysbl]

As much as we are being reminded on how to express our current grievances as Christians, may we also be reminded of the accountability and weight of using the bible to justify the current political climate— false dichotomy and fallacies. Dami ng church trauma. Tama na.

[mlysbl @mlysbl]

May mga nag aaway sa mga offices madalas pagdating sa promotion. May natatalo dahil sa experience, minsan sa educ attainment. Credentials talaga ang labanan. Sakit makita na hindi DASURV. Hirap makakuha ng plantilla position sa totoo lang.

Just sayin.

[mlysbl @mlysbl]

I rly appreciate those who truly understand and see what we are grieving for. Hindi ito competition or betting game.
Laban ho natin ito na kinakatawan ang ating prinsipyo at pangarap para sa bansa. Looking at the unofficial/partial results, what can we infer? Yun ang masakit. 🐒

[Chris Tan @imchristan]

is it me or there are more people protesting than celebrating today?

[mlysbl @mlysbl]

Hindi tayo patola at war freak. Uulitin ko, ipakita natin sa salita at gawa ang prinsipyong gusto natin makita sa isang lider. Iba ang hatak kapag buhay mo ang resibo.

Sure ako, makikita rin natin ang bunga ng pagtindig natin. Nasa kasaysayan ‘yan. Kapit lang. Laban lang.

YAWQNA- A thread
Simula pa lang ito ng pagsulong natin para sa rosas na bukas, ng pagiging ilaw sa dilim. Hindi tayo dito natatapos at hindi tayo tinapos ng election. Irerespeto ko ang opisina at posisyon na uupuan ng mga nanalo, sana ganon din sila — di dudungisan at aabusuhin!

[mlysbl @mlysbl]

Magsalita, hindi parang sirang plaka o maingay na lata. Magsalita ng may katotohanan at pagmamalasakit. Tumindig, hindi parang isang panatiko o mema lang, pero para sa katotohan at hustisya. Lumaban, hindi dahil sa galit, pero para sa Diyos at sa Bayan.
