Napapagitnaan tayo ng dalawang krisis, ang COVID-19 na hindi nakikita at karaingan pangmadla na nakabibingi. Ang tuluyang paglamon ng mga krisis na ito sa diwang mapayapa ng mga tao ang nagpamitsa sa tulog kung haraya upang gawin ang pagsasalaysay na ito. Bata pa lang ako naging bahagi na ng buong kong sistema ang iulat sa pansariling kong pananaw ang mga sitsit at ungol ng aking kapaligiran.

My Support goes to my country THIS is me during the signing of the Pledge of Commitment on my hometown; declaring the CPP-NPA-NDF as Persona Non-grata (MARCH 02, 2020 at Sitio Talifara, ALEGRIA) It is now the time for government and people to make calibrated steps to thwart this narrative of a failed ideology that cannot seem to work in this country. The Government has taken an important step in confronting long-drawn-out issues brought about by the 50-year existence of the Communist Party of the Philippines bolstered by its militia, the New People’s Army and political arm, the National Democratic Front (CPPA-NPA-NDF).
