hello, i just want to address this. i know i’ve been posting studyblr content again. i’ve also seen some people say that things seem to be going back to “normal.” i just want to say that NO, things are not going back to normal. and things may never go back to normal. i seriously hope that people keep up with the energy they had when these issues first went out. the fight is not over! the problem doesn’t go away just because it’s not trending anymore. and honestly, all these issues surfacing now actually just prove how messed up the system was even before. the only difference is that now, people are starting to be more aware. while this is good, there’s still more to reach out!
in fact, just this morning, news broke out about UP cebu students being arrested within the campus grounds. they were violently dispersed despite it being a peaceful protest. in addition to this, six jeepney drivers were detained after protesting three days ago. instead of supporting them and understanding their situation, they were put behind bars. high ranking officials who have done worse were given compassion, but ordinary citizens crying out for help were imprisoned, fined, or even killed. beyond these two, there are also many things happening in other parts of the world, and not just the philippines— in hong kong, USA, etc (please read about all of these issues here or here). support both local and global struggles!! injustices are happening every day. we must be aware, and be ready to do our part in fighting against them.
