Alam mo ba? Ang dami kong mga bagay at lugar na nakuhanan ng litrato dito sa parke malapit sa amin. Naalala kita bigla, at ang mga ginagawa natin noon sa bukid. Naisip ko na mas maganda ang mga kuha ko sa lugar kung nakatayo ka sa gitna nito; mas may buhay ang mga bagay kung hawak mo ang mga ito. Napagtanto ko kung gaano kalaki ang puwang mo sa lente ng kamera ko. Namiss ko bigla ang buhay natin noong magkasama pa tayo sa bayan… ang paggawa sa bawat parte ng araw ko na nakasanayan ko nang gawin kasama ka.

when i said i love the sun
i also love how it burns me
and the wrinkles that come with it.
i love it with its heat
and how it makes me sweat.
i love it even though
my ice cream melts.
i love the sun with honesty.
𝘪 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘴
𝘪 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨,
𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘴.
because more than that,
it’s as beautiful as its sunrise, sunset,
sunlight that peeks through tree branches.
i love it
even simply how it makes me warm,
makes my brown skin golden
and turn my eyes hazel.
it makes the world go round.
i love it being the light
as i also have that light in me.
i love the sun and you cannot make me think otherwise.

Pribatisasyon sa porma ng NPU Bill ang tugon ng estado sa hinaing ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan na dagdag pondo sana sa Sintang Paaralan. Bukod sa pasakit na maidudulot nito sa mga mag-aaral, nanganganib din na mawalan ng espasyo nang tuluyan ang mga lokal na vendors sa PUP Lagoon dahil dito.

Libre ang tuition sa PUP, ngunit mahal ang bilihin, at may bayad din pagdating sa pagkuha ng mga dokumento. Higit pa rito, may bayad at may renta na rin ang mga venue na ginagamit ng mga mag-aaral at organisasyon kahit na masikip at luma ang mga pasilidad.

Sa kabila ng tahasang pagtutol ng hanay ng mga kabataang Iskolar ng Bayan, inaprubahan ng House of Representatives nitong Lunes, ikatlo ng Pebrero 2025, ang House Bill No. 11341 o ang National Polytechnic University (NPU) Bill sa botong 196-0-3.

Ang hakbang na ito ay malinaw na pagtakas ng estado sa obligasyon nitong bigyan ng libre, aksesable at dekalidad na edukasyon ang mga mag-aaral sa PUP, ito ay sa kabila rin ng malaking tapyas sa mga State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) sa bansa kagaya ni Sinta.

Martes, Pebrero 4, nagkasa ng kilos protesta ang mga Iskolar ng Bayan kasama ang Samahan ng mga Janitorial upang irehistro ang kanilang pagtutol sa NPU Bill.

Basahin ang kanilang mga panawagan:

Hindi maitatangging isang konserbatibong bansa na nakasentro sa Kristiyanismo ang Pilipinas. Subalit, hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon ay dapat itong pairalin, lalo na ng gobyerno, dahil may mas nararapat na isaalang-alang sa implementasyon ng mga batas.

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 | The House of Representatives, with 153 garnered votes, has approved the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte today, February 5.

This is yet to be formalized through a plenary later today.

If pushed through, the Senate shall deliberate after the House and should gather 2/3 of the votes, or 16 affirmatives out of the 24 senators, approving the impeachment of the Vice President.

This is a developing story.
