As a trentahin, i have never thought of joining X naβ until one evening of june where i stumbled upon an edit of WinRi in which it needs to open sa X. Dahil nga di ko na mapigilan ang kilig ko i created my first ever X acct. And the rest is history na.
Ikaw, anong kwentong X mo? Eme ππ

The #WinRi community is way bigger than @WinRiOFC and the admins. Kung kami lang, alam naman naming matagal na kaming engaged sa political discourse, not just online but even on the streets. Naranasan ko nang maredtag, murahin, at itaboy dahil sa mga pinaglalaban ko.
Paulit-ulit kong sasabihin na this account was started after the joy of getting a stable Senate again after days of the Cayetano bloc not showing up. For the first few members of this community, kilig wasnβt even the door. Kilig was the surprising comfort amidst the dark political realities that persist until today.
As the community grew, Winners started engaging in various ways, from watching Committee hearings and plenary sessions online, to visiting the Senate to watch the impeachment live. Winners have posted about bills, Senate sessions, and the impeachment trial, fact-checked and mass reported fake news posts, and even discussed and debated amongst ourselves on our varying opinions on political issues (kahit minsan nauuwi sa away).
This is why that particular line was painful. I have communicated to Layag 2028 early on that I support and shall await what they have in store since we are happy to welcome the expansion of this community. I even advised them to clarify early that they are not affiliated with the official teams (something WinRiOFC did at the start to make sure we werenβt misrepresenting the Senatorsβ teams or ourselves).
I was excited for what they had in store and hoped things would be okay. But that line discredits so much of what this community has built and continues to build. That line reduces the political engagement (and for some, political awakening) of Winners to mere kilig and fun that shall be fleeting. That is where I take offense. The line was clear. If the intention was different, then another line or other words should have been used.
