The Apotheosis of Maharlika.



Greetings to the apotheosis of the Philippine government! Your Honor, it is a privilege to have the opportunity to write to you. With this, I would like to express my heartfelt commendation for your electoral victory. A victory that indicates an approval of the populist style of leadership that your predecessor has demonstrated in the previous six years. Thus, showing once again that one can rely on decades of misinformation and flawed revisions of history rooted in brazen, wicked mendacity. 

Mr. President, it appears that your "comeback narrative" was effective, as many of your supporters believed it was more like a thrilling soap opera plotline than a distorted version of reality. The country was unfortunate that it was outnumbered by morally bankrupt individuals who openly trust their future on you, a man of poor moral character and heir of corrupt wealth. Despite that, to live for the hope of it all is something your countryman would most likely do. Therefore, I am writing this letter in pursuit of urging your eminence to respond to the difficulties and concerns of your people.

At this time being, our pockets are shrinking. Galloping inflation, stagnation, and the destruction of our economy threaten to be the waterloo of our country. Most, if not all, of us, are striving every day to make ends meet by drawing from our shallow pockets. Given the way things are going, we fear that the world may be heading into a recession as the price of essential goods and commodities skyrocketed to 6.9%, the highest level in four years. Along with these aforementioned, the biggest problem your people are concerned with is the intersection of the climate, economic, political, and ideological crisis — the genesis of a global social hurricane, which we are facing today. 

Notwithstanding all the odds, we continue to hold out hope that you have the authority to make changes, mainly for the impoverished and powerless, nasa laylayan ng lipunan. I hope we, your people, won't witness the next six years of your presidency unfold in absolute horror of fascist state thuggery, of lies as alternate truth, and of another history being rewritten as a fable. Along with that, may your presidency be prosperous for the only reason that it denotes the prosperity of the Filipino people.This is now a plea for you, Your Excellency, to take a stand and dissociate yourself from the dictatorial, divisive, and destructive tactics of your predecessor — to make things right, to have a better government, to revive and prosper the true democracy, and to let the stifling dissent ends with your predecessor.


Sincerely,
Keira

Just like that, the second quarter has come to an end. I am halfway through the calendar, yet fragments of my soul are still caged. I continue to face every day of the quarter with a heavy sigh armed with a plethora of doubts. I shed the skin I wore in the past quarter and weave a new one. I strive, still, to get out of my shell and to achieve what I am aiming for, no matter how one would deem it mediocre.  The second half felt like walking on a dark and dim path of a hallway. Setbacks are indeed inevitable, but this time I can say it's more tolerable. Codes and tags for this quarter were really enjoyable because the emphasis was more on comprehension rather than memorization. The hands-on approach was also an effective way to grasp an understanding of HTML! Being able to witness a webpage after the lengthy (sort of) process of typing and merging the codes we've learned was the spark that made me love the course. As I've gotten fonder of the subject, I'm considering tak

March-ing towards Inclusive Society

As the world moves ahead to mark International Women's Day, the clock on women's rights continues to tick. This month of the year, we MARCH to celebrate women's contributions to social, political, and economic change. As well as we march to remind women that the fight for gender equality is not yet won.  The month-long celebration is also an invitation to listen to women who have been suffering in silence for far too long. On International Women's Month, it is a must to let marginalized women tell their stories. Their stories speak of oppression but it does not end there. Such stories are a testament to their hard work and determination in attaining freedom, equality, and a sustainable future not only for themselves but also for their co-workers; their entire communities; the younger generation; as well as their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons. The latter proves that the fight for gender equality should not be fought by women and girls alone. To put an end to ineq

Always, in all ways.

Hi! The name's Keira! I go by "Kye and "Kamil" most of the time, but I am very fine being called "Keira". To be frank, I don't know how to properly introduce myself  — getting the most intricate words that would describe me and weaving them beautifully is much more complex than what I expect it to be. Still, it'd be fun to introduce myself because I know myself more than anyone, innit? I'm much like yellow dazzling sunlight in human form, as someone dear to me had always described me (the origin of my name is a "beam of light" which makes this statement a bit interesting!) to say, at least, I am someone who is compassionate, diverting and luminary — they say I have a manner with words that soothes the soul. I like meeting new people, although I am terrible at conversation and often get drained from constant socializing, which I think my MBTI is accountable for (obviously satire!). If there is something I'd risk everything for, it
