It took a pandemic for many of us to truly see what the presidency and government is capable of (in terms of bad) and incapable of (in terms of good)

It's very unlikely, but unless a drastic change of gov't, culture, and beliefs will happen, the events that surround this...

pandemic will surely convince a generation of competent and smart Filipinos to give up the hope they had in this country and find any means possible to migrate out.

So sad how a generation who is starting to love and appreciate PH art and culture now feels the need to get ...

out of the country, just because of the shitty government and horrible conditions we were left in. It's hard to love and want to stay in a nation governed immoral idiots in every level of authority. It's hard when the everyday people themselves seem to be under stockholm ...

syndrome, and violently defend what is wrong because they blindly support whoever is behind it, without even trying to hear the other side. It's hard cause it's partly not their fault; it's cause they're uneducated, inexperienced, and convinced by propaganda. It's hard how ...

the slave morality and attitudes that the Spaniards left us still stay after hundreds of years. It's hard cause those of us who learn and know better rarely see it applied. That those who are educated are shunned, and those who speak out for what's right are punished. It's ...

This thread will never end if I get into detail. So I'll cut it short and end here: To those with the ability and opportunity, yet choose to stay, not bc of money or power, but because they wanna ...

help the country, I salute you. You have the hope, passion, and perseverance that many of us don't have or ran out. However, for those of us who don't want to stay; who want to live in a better country even if you'll be set back in your career or belong to a ...

lower economic class, I understand.

I, too, once had hope in this country. Even if I could leave, I wanted to stay. But recently I feel like my hope is running low, and my patience running thin.

Growing up in the PH gives us a lot of patience and hope, since the bad is ...

The question is, when the limit is reached and the hope is lost, what are we going to do then?
