𝙈𝙄𝙉𝘿 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙏𝘼𝙆𝙀. Bayanihan o Katarungan?

Sa tuwing hahagupitin ang ating bansa ng iba’t ibang krisis at sakuna, mabilis nating ipinagmamalaki ang ating kultura ng bayanihan. Ang likas na pagtutulungan, pagdadamayan, at pagkakaisa sa gitna ng paghihirap. Ngunit kung susuriin nang mabuti ang estado ng ating politika at pamamahala, isang mahalagang katanungan ang muling ibinabangon ng ating kinalalagyan: bayanihan nga ba ang tunay na lunas sa dusa ng mamamayan, o katarungan?

Sa araw-araw, milyun-milyong Pilipino ang nakikipagbuno sa matinding gutom at sa paulit-ulit na pinsalang dulot ng mga kalamidad at pagbaha. Habang ang karaniwang mamamayan ay nagpapakahirap para lamang makatawid sa gutom, ang mga pinunong inihalal upang maglingkod at magparating ng saklolo ay komportableng nahihimbing sa kanilang mararangyang tahanan, nagpapakabusog sa masasarap na pagkain, at malayang nagpapakasaya sa pagbibiyahe sa ibang bansa.

Hustisya ang paulit-ulit na sigaw ng bayan laban sa kasakiman at talamak na pagnanakaw sa kaban ng bansa. Ngunit paano nga ba makakamtan ang katarungan kung ang mismong mga matataas na opisyal sa Senado ay abala sa sarili nilang pagbabangayan at laglagan? Napakahirap hulihin at papanagutin ng mga nasa itaas, samantalang kung ang mahihirap at maliliit na mamamayan ang magkasala, napakabilis ng hatol ng batas at madalas, sila pa ang ginagawang taga-pasa ng kasalanan ng mga makapangyarihan.

Sa kabila ng lahat ng sistema at kawalang-katarungang ito, nananatiling buhay ang dignidad ng Pilipino. Patuloy na ipinapakita ng marami ang tapat na bayanihan sa kapwa kahit wala naman sa kanila ang opisyal na responsibilidad, dahil hindi kayang tiisin ng kanilang puso ang makitang naghihirap ang iba. Subalit hindi dapat ginagawang takip ang bayanihan upang pagtakpan ang pagkukulang ng gobyerno.

Kaya naman sa darating na eleksyon, nawa'y maging aral ito sa bawat isa. Piliin natin ang mga pinunong tunay na karapat-dapat sa posisyon may paninindigan sa pangako, may tapat na puso, at totoong handang maglingkod para sa kapakanan ng mamamayan.

𝙈𝙄𝙉𝘿 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙏𝘼𝙆𝙀. Martial Law: When Security comes at Cost

I vividly remember when I was still in Senior High School, Taking Humanities in Social Sciences, when my teacher in Politics and Governance asked me:
"What is Martial Law?"

Without thinking too much, I answered, "Sir, gin enforced na siya to fight the rebels and protect the people"

At that time I thought It was an adequate answer and the whole story only revolves around with the statement that I gave. But as our discussion continued, I realized there was more to the story.

Under Article VII, Section 18 of the 1987 Constitution,
martial law may be declared when there is only invasion or rebellion, and public safety requires. It is meant to address serious threat, not just to give the government unlimited power.

In 1972, former President Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law through Proclamation No.1081. His government said it was vital to fight the rebellion and maintain peace and order. But although there were claims of increased order and security, there was also a darker side.

During the Martial Law Era many Filipinos experienced arbitrary arrest, killings, torture, enforced disappearances, and restrictions of freedom of speech and the press. These human rights violation later on recognised through Republic Act. No. 10368, which provided recognition and reparations to the victims.

Knowing all this made me question my old answer.

Ang martial law bala revolves only about protecting the people?

Maybe the lesson is that not everything martial law was simply good or bad. May ara gid nga problema nga kinahanglan sulbaron, pero dapat man naton pamangkuton kung paano ini ginasulbar kag kung sin-o ang apektado.

History should not be viewed from only one perspective. We need to look at the law, the government's reason, and most importantly, the experiences of the people who lived through it.

A safer country should never mean fewer rights for its people.

Martial Law was an era that stands as a reminder that power must always come with responsibility.

𝙈𝙄𝙉𝘿 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙏𝘼𝙆𝙀. Ang Panulat na Hindi Nagpasupil

Noong Setyembre 21, 1972, isang deklarasyon ang naging hudyat ng isa sa pinakamadilim na yugto sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas — ang Batas Militar. Sa panahong iyon, libo-libong Pilipino ang dumanas ng pagkakakulong, pagpapahirap, at karahasan. Ayon sa mga naitalang datos, mahigit 70,000 katao ang inaresto, 34,000 ang sumailalim sa tortyur, at 3,240 ang naging biktima ng extrajudicial killings. Sa likod ng mga numerong ito ay mga buhay, pamilya, at kuwentong hindi kailanman dapat kalimutan.

Ngunit bukod sa mga opisyal na naitala sa kasaysayan, marami rin ang piniling manahimik — dahil sa takot, pangamba, at panganib. Sa panahong tila kailangang tiklupin ang katotohanan at ipikit ang mga mata sa nangyayari, may mga taong patuloy na nagsalita. Sila ang mga mamamahayag na piniling hawakan ang panulat kahit nanginginig ang kamay, at ipaglaban ang katotohanan kahit may kapalit na panganib.

Sa mga unang oras ng Batas Militar, humigit-kumulang 400 mamamahayag ang ikinulong. Maraming institusyon ng pamamahayag ang ipinasara: 7 istasyon ng telebisyon, 16 na pambansang pahayagan, 11 lingguhang pahayagan, 66 na community newspaper, at 292 istasyon ng radyo. Sa isang iglap, tila pinatahimik ang mga tinig na dapat sana'y nagsasalaysay para sa bayan.

Ngunit hindi naging sapat ang pagsasara ng mga pahayagan upang tuluyang patahimikin ang pamamahayag. Sa paglipas ng panahon, muling sumibol ang mga publikasyong naging boses ng mga Pilipino. Kabilang dito ang _WE Forum_ noong 1977 at ang _Pahayagang Malaya_ noong 1981. Sa kanilang mga pahina, muling nabigyan ng tinig ang mga mamamayang nakaranas ng pang-aapi at kawalang-katarungan. Sa bawat salitang nailimbag, tila muling nagbabalik ang liwanag sa panahong pilit tinatakpan ng dilim.

Sa paggunita sa ika-54 na taon ng deklarasyon ng Batas Militar, hindi lamang kasaysayan ang ating binabalikan kundi isang aral na dapat manatiling buhay. Ang kalayaan sa pamamahayag ay hindi dapat basta isantabi, sapagkat ang panulat ay maaaring maging saksi ng isang bayan. Maaaring ipasara ang isang pahayagan, patahimikin ang isang mikropono, o ikulong ang isang mamamahayag — ngunit hangga't may taong handang magsulat at magsabi ng katotohanan, hindi kailanman tuluyang mamamatay ang tinig ng bayan.

𝙈𝙄𝙉𝘿 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙏𝘼𝙆𝙀. At What Point Can We Call Someone a ‘Professional’?

We’ve all seen it happen, whether in the comment sections of online forums, on social media, or even within our own school clubs and extracurriculars. A beginner asks an earnest question, shares a creative draft, or makes a minor mistake. Within a few minutes, the critics will circle. But often, the loudest, most merciless voices aren’t anonymous trolls; they are seasoned seniors, leaders, or veterans who hold the title of “expert”.

At what point exactly can we honestly call someone a “professional’?

In a school setting, we are taught that professionalism is about a title, a role, a leadership position, or years of experience. But true professionalism goes far deeper than a paper full of credentials or a badge. It requires character.

Unfortunately, a toxic subculture exists where experienced individuals weaponize their status, tearing down a newbie’s desire to learn purely for cheap laughs, entertainment, and ego validation.

When an upperclassman mocks a freshman’s naive question, or a veteran club member of high status publicly humiliates someone’s work for viral clout online, something fundamental has broken. This behavior usually stems from a toxic mix of gatekeeping and insecurity.

Dragging down beginners for entertainment creates an artificial hierarchy. By making someone feel less smaller, the established “professional” momentarily feels bigger. It transforms our learning spaces into arenas where mastery is used as a weapon rather than a tool for mentorship. It is easy to point fingers and laugh, but why does someone had to be picked as their topic of fun just so they can have their stomachs burst out of laughing?

If technical skill or title alone doesn’t make a professional, what does?

At the end of the day, handing someone a diploma, a medal, or a fancy job title doesn’t automatically cure them of middle-school behavior. If your entire identity relies on flexing your expertise just to stomp on someone trying their best, you’re just a mean person.

It’s time to stop confusing cruelty with high standards. Real professionals don’t need to punch down to feel tall, and they definitely don’t need live audience to laugh at someone else’s expense.

Perhaps it is because, for a little while, we are allowed to be still while everything around us keeps moving. The bus carries us through familiar streets, past buildings we rarely notice, faces we will never know, and places that disappear before we can hold on to them.

There is something about sitting by a window and watching the world pass that makes our own lives feel like another road outside the glass. We remember the people we have left behind, the choices we have made, the things we still hope to become. Thoughts that were too loud in the morning somehow become quieter between stops.

Maybe we reflect because we are neither here nor there. We are simply in transit—temporarily suspended between where we came from and where we are going.

And perhaps that is why public transportation feels strangely intimate. Among strangers, with nowhere to go but forward, we are given a few quiet minutes to meet ourselves.

The bus stops. People get off. Others get on.

The doors close.

And once again, life moves forward.
Perhaps we do, too.
