“I’m sorry…”

I failed you, didn’t I? The future I hoped you’d have, snatched away from you in the dead of the night.

We’d fight for you Philippines. I’d walk up under the scorching sun and raise my voice just like what our ancestors once did. But I know that they hoped it would only happen just that one time Feburary 22-25, 1986. But here we are. Schools and Universities are threatening to shut down, running up to the comelec office demanding for the democracy unfairly taken away from them. The economy is going down with foreign investors pulling out all together.

Students and people who step up against the Marcoses are being red-tagged. Fake forms are circulating, gathering information of people who are against the government.

I’m scared for my people. You may be celebrating your candidate’s win, but I’m scared of that inevitable day that he will turn against you.

I’m really sorry. Maybe I should’ve done more.
