#OustDuterte

Idealism cannot be labeled to be out of touch with reality because in truth, they are rooted in the scrutiny of our immediate realities. It is not as simple as dreaming something that cannot be achieved. It is a hope that change can and will happen.

Activism is not a phase. Being an activist is not an overnight matter; instead, it is a product of a long pondering over our current realities, up until we decide to recognize how our collected voice can break down the roots of the unjust systems at place.

We can start change in our own households first. One person at a time. The least our parents can do is to listen to us, ask questions, read what we read, and examine our values.
