#halalan2022

To anyone who's wondering, "What's happening in the Philippines?" here it is:

We in the Philippines held our elections yesterday, and they are being rigged.

We are at risk of the son of a dictator taking the presidency seat, which endangers our economy, livelihoods, education, safety, and privacy. Every dirty trick in the book happened this election/campaign season - from fake news to broken voting machines and so much more.

The reason why he's in the lead is the result of years upon years of mis- and disinformation and deceit. We cannot afford the Marcoses to take presidency again, not after all the taxpayer money they squandered and the people they had imprisoned, tortured, and killed.

why is an actor (robin padilla), who has zero experience in governance and is actually a sexist leading the senatorial race; when have candidates who are lawyers, human rights defenders, and over all more qualified than him can't seem to make it to the top 12 (e.g. chel diokno).

why are we over-looking people who has credentials and clean track records?? ang taas-taas ng standard natin sa ibang bagay pero sa mga politiko natin, hindi?

why are we ignoring leni robredo's contributions to our country especially during the pandemic? tha fact that she was being belittled by the duterte administration but was still able to achieve things says a lot about her leadership and skills.

why are we ignoring our history?

forgetting about the people who suffered under the marcos' regime, the wealth and resources that was taken from our country. we are still suffering because of what they did and we will suffer more under the hands of another marcos.

to anyone that would say "but they built infrastructures", are you really putting more value on infrastructures than the lives that were lost? the families who still suffer because of them? the victims who were never found? the people who were tortured, raped? do you not value their lives?

also, sa dami-dami nilang utang dapat lang may pinagawa sila but majority of the money they borrowed, they used it only for themselves.

foreign investors in our country are already pulling out. the stock market slowly going down. do you know why? because they don't trust marcos. our economy will suffer.

those you are rich enough will not experience the consequences of this elections. do you know who will? the poor, the marginalized, the people who we should have been thinking about when we voted.

to my fellow filipinos, do not stop protesting this election. this is for our future. we must stand our ground and fight for what is right and what we deserve. the comelec was biased and because of that we lost a bright future.

the entire world is watching as a dictator's son take power.

i am not crying because leni lost and bbm won. i am crying because our country lost and our people will suffer.

✨sleepy hollow — lot download✨

there’s just something about building smol neighborhoods that give me so much joy ;-; hopefully it’s something y’all can use in-game for your sims

about sleepy hollow —

40 x 30 lot built in brindleton bay

4 small family-sized houses + layouts for each one

download comes with cc + personal conversions (593.45 mb)

before you get the lot...

instead of asking for donations to relief funds to access the lot download, all i ask is that you consider making yourself aware of the political climate back home in the philippines. once again, it is under threat of being under tyrannical leadership during election season through rigged ballots, brutal force, and threats of martial law. to take it a step further, the government has shut down a major local broadcasting network to keep citizens and foreigners alike in the dark so as to continue their reign of abuse.

if you have the time and the willingness, i urge you to read up on the political situation my mother-country is facing and extend a helping hand if it is within your means.

resources —

articles and case studies regarding the tyrannical, martial law reign of the marcoses

local artists losing international clients due to the political climate needing support and patronage

how to acquire the lot (hehe sorry for the whiplash) —

send me an ask off anon, and i’ll send you a link :)

No classes under Marcos presidency.

The youth is mad, the youth is pissed. The Filipinos will not stand for this blatant rigging and cheating of the elections.

After watching our candidate, her team, and supporters put all their work, effort, time, money, and tears into the 2022 Elections, it feels like a dark shadow has been cast on our country again and there's nothing we can do about it.

I'm so sorry to the families who were victimized by the Marcoses. I'm so sorry to those who died trying to stop a ruthless and corrupt dictator, only for his son to wind up as President of our poor and starving country. I'm sorry to victims of the Marcos family, to those victims whose bodies were found and those whose bodies are lost in a place that their loved ones cannot find. I'm sorry to those who witnessed Martial Law and celebrated when Ferdinand Marcos was ousted, thinking their children won't have to suffer the way the Filipinos did in the 70s-80s. I'm sorry to those in lower socioeconomic status families who voted for Leni with hopes that she would be able to bring about change as our President. I'm sorry to everyone who hoped for a better future, only for evil to prevail.

Our hearts ache. Today, I watched my 81 year old grandfather sit on his own in a depressed mood because he couldn't believe that after doing his part in history by joining the EDSA revolution and voting on May 9, he was watching history repeat itself. He is too old to worry...but he worries because he cares the future of his family and country when he is gone.

But this is only the beginning. Before things will get better, they will get worse. But things can still get better. We cannot lose hope, because that's exactly what our corrupt government wants.

If you are lucky enough to be in class A and B, please do your part to help the less fortunate. We will suffer, but we will not suffer as gravely as those who live hand to mouth on a daily basis. It is easy to think that they might deserve it because they were the bulk of the voters who supported the Marcos family's return. But the truth is that their return has been carefully prepared for, for decades. Fake news, vote buying, poll manipulation, cronyism, corruption, political dynasties. The real evil lies in those with power and privilege who are educated enough to know better but choose not to do better. There is a reason why education is normally given the smallest budget, because these corrupt politicians benefit from the less fortunate's ignorance and miseducation.

The day will come when we are called to rally again and fight for our freedom. Until then, do not lose hope and do not forget to act as the miracle in other people's lives. The evilness of our government should not push us to tolerate and enable such behavior or worse, be as uncaring and without compassion as they are. Our country can be better if we continue to push ourselves to be better and demand our government to be better.

The absolute fuckery that is the Philippines national elections should serve as a huge fucking warning sign to the rest of the world at what a campaign of disinformation, historical revisionism, and an army of paid trolls can accomplish in the time of social media.

That the son of an ousted dictator—who was exiled, has a warrant out for his arrest in the US, and with zero remorse still lives a life of obscene wealth from the billions of dollars stolen from the nation—is able to run for president at all, already makes absolutely no fucking sense.

That he might also win—despite running against the best public servant this country has seen in aaaages—is ludicrous on a mind-melting level.

This guy—with no significant accomplishments of his own, a proven liar, too chicken shit to face other candidates in debates, lacks the grit and intelligence to answer questions from the press, and can’t string together any words of substance that would explain his platform? This guy? Just because he has a strong presence on TikTok? This guy??
