also can i just say how fkin proud i am of my father i never talk about this but damn the moral standards in this home are too high none of us will ever measure up

from DAY ONE this man’s integrity has been unshakeable. he was around seven years old when he thought he wanted to be a saint. he was excommunicated from his college frat for making a choice which was against a brother because he believed in his personal convictions so much.

and in 2007 he would either have to run with GMA or Erap for funding (both of whom he’d asked to step down from office), so he picked neither and ran independently. some days we’d just run out of money for campaigning but God would keep it going some way. and he wON. like WHAT.

sorry for the rant i just really am so proud of him it’s ridiculous. he faces so much backlash and slander and libel and abuse but he just keeps going. i don’t know how he does it. a superhero.

i wish i was half as brave, or a fraction as strong.

AND ALL HE WANTS IN THE WORLD IS JUSTICE ALL AROUND BUT ESPECIALLY FOR FARMERS AND FISHERMEN BECAUSE THEY ARE EVERYTHING TO US wine nights with dad are my favorite i learn more in an hour with him than i ever have in a classroom
