Please, aside from General Santos City and other areas affected by the 7.8-magnitude earthquake, one of the hardest-hit places is Balut Island. Due to its remote location, far from major cities, and its limited media coverage, the situation there remains largely unseen.

As of now, napakahirap pa rin ng komunikasyon dahil halos walang signal sa isla, kaya hirap na hirap kaming makontak ang aming mga kamag-anak at mahal sa buhay doon. Nahaharap din ang mga residente sa kakulangan ng kuryente, malinis na tubig, at pagkain. Many homes have been severely damaged or destroyed by the earthquake.

We respectfully appeal to government agencies, humanitarian organizations, and anyone who is able to help: please do not forget Balut Island. The people there urgently need assistance, relief supplies, and support during this difficult time.

Please help bring attention to their situation and extend aid to the affected families.

Thank you. ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿคฒ

โ€ŽLet me share somethingโ€ฆ scroll down if youโ€™re not interested. This is going to be a long rant, so bear with me.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽIf I speak up against failures in the government, why wouldnโ€™t I speak up about this too?
โ€Ž
โ€ŽEveryone knows Iโ€™m competitive, but Iโ€™m fvcking FAIR.
โ€ŽEvery time I get the highest score in exams, I still double-check if it was checked correctly because I feel like there might be mistakes. I even once corrected our instructor because i know may mali sa questions niya.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBut you know whatโ€ฆ this time I was shocked, and not just me, but others were surprised too.
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThis isnโ€™t bitterness. I applauded those who truly deserved their recognition. But I also know my performance, matataas ang scores ko sa exam, isa lang yata ang absent ko, and yet, this is how itโ€™s handled? Bruh, are you guys gagoing me?
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€ŽHonestly, tinanggap ko na lang ito kahapon eh. Sabi ko pa "okay na'yon."
โ€ŽBut a smart friend of mine asked me right now:
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€Žโ€œHow are you not included?โ€
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThen she hit me with, โ€œI know youโ€™re smart, pero bat ang tanga mo sa part nato?โ€
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€ŽIt made me realize that in being fair to others, I forgot to be fair to myself. Kahit sabihin kong okay na'yon pero the fact na maaapektuhan parin ako nito sa future. So i shouldn't just shut up. Right?
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€ŽLahat ng grado ko sa major subjects ay puros matataas, mostly line of 1, pero pag dating sa SUBJECT na yon eh biglang lagapak. I donโ€™t even know how I ended up in that situation.
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThey didnโ€™t warn me, and they even put my name on the award list, giving me false hope. fck right?
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAs far as I can remember, my exam scores were high, I even ranked number one in the midterm, I was always present, and I was never informed that there was any deficiency. I expected everything to be fine because there were no warnings. They didnโ€™t call me, and they even included my name in the list of awardees.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSo even if I didnโ€™t plan to claim the award, I still expected my records to be okay. Then I only found out after graduation that there was a problem.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThey said na hindi daw โ€œna-tap." yung records ko. So, is that my fault? They didnโ€™t even give me a warning that something was wrong. How was I supposed to know? I honestly thought everything was fine. Kaya nga sinali yung name ko sa maaawardan daw kuno kasi mataas ang grado, pero akala ko lang pala.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽUnless they based it on my overall grades, then maybe I could understand, since Iโ€™m an irregular student and a transferee with some grades from MSU that arenโ€™t that good. Doon masasabi kong may sabit talaga. But they said that wasnโ€™t the basis.
โ€ŽSo the real issue ay yung record ko sa SUBJECT na'yon.
โ€ŽIf they had called me and informed me earlier, maybe I could have fixed it.
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€ŽItโ€™s not my fault right? itโ€™s their negligence.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽIf you were behind this, if you were the one who neglected your responsibility, and yesterday you stood on that stage, smiling as you received your award while knowing you pulled someone else down, then all I can say is this: you didnโ€™t deserve it.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽHonesty and responsibility are supposed to be part of this program, yet wala kang pinakitang ganon. Sorry pero nakakahiya ka.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBut if itโ€™s the systemโ€™s fault, then that only proves how weak the system is, how flawed the program is. The system failed.
โ€ŽIf you canโ€™t even manage something as simple as this, how much more in real-life situations? How are you going to apply your knowledge there? Are you going to throw someone under the bus just to protect a broken system?
โ€Ž
โ€ŽRight now, I feel betrayed, and the only way I can express that is through these words.

Iโ€™m not mentioning anyone or any program, but you know who you are and what you did. ๐ˆ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐Ÿ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ, ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ฐ๐ž๐š๐ซ ๐ข๐ญ.

โ€Žang bansa kung saan ang asul na kalangitan
โ€Žang unang sumalubong sa akin nang magkamalay ako sa mundo.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAng bansang tanging bibigyan ko ng paggalang,
โ€Žna sasaluduhan ko,
โ€Žna ilalapat ko sa dibdib ang kanang kamay
โ€Žhabang taas-noong nakatingin sa ating watawat.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽIsa akong Pilipino.
โ€ŽSa dugo, puso, isip, at kaluluwa.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽNgunit...

โ€ŽNakakapagod mahalin ang bansang ito
โ€Žkung ang mga nakaupo sa gobyerno
โ€Žay walang malasakit sa kapwa Pilipino.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽNakakapagod makamit ang hustisya.
โ€ŽNakakapagod makita
โ€Žna tayo-tayo rin ang nag-aaway-away.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽWalang pagbabago.
โ€ŽWalang natutupad na pangako.
โ€ŽAng mga nakaupo,
โ€Žwalang puso sa serbisyo.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAt habang tumatagal,
โ€Žang asul na kalangitan
โ€Žay nagiging p**a.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAng dagat,
โ€Žnagiging dugo.
โ€ŽAng lahat,
โ€Žunti-unting nawawasak.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAng mga pangarap
โ€Žay mananatiling pangarap.
โ€ŽAng pagbabago
โ€Žay mananatiling malabo.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽWala na ito sa kulay moโ€”
โ€Žp**a, berde, dilaw, o pink.
โ€ŽAng totoo?
โ€ŽParang wala nang pagbabago.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽDahil kahit anong gawin natin,
โ€Žlagiโ€™t laging may kasamaan
โ€Žna nauupo sa itaas.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽHindi natin sila tunay na kilala.
โ€ŽHindi natin alam
โ€Žna ang mga kulay na ipinapakita nila
โ€Žay nabahiran na pala ng dumi.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽDito, ang hustisya ay may presyo.
โ€ŽAng kalayaan, para lang sa may pangalan.
โ€ŽAng kaginhawaan, para lang sa malilinis ang kamay.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSamantalang ang mga maduduming kamayโ€”
โ€Žna napagod sa sakahan, sa pabrika, sa lansangan,
โ€Žmananatiling mababa.
โ€ŽMananatiling gumagapang sa lupa.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKaya nakakapagod maging Pilipino.
โ€ŽMasakit man sabihin,
โ€Žparang nakakahiya nang maging Pilipino.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSubalit...
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKung susukuan ko ang pagiging Pilipino,
โ€Žpara ko na ring tinalikuran
โ€Žang lupang unang kumilala sa akin.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAko rin ay Pilipino.
โ€ŽIkaw rin.
โ€ŽSila rin.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKaya siguro hindi pagtalikod ang sagot.
โ€ŽSiguro hindi pag-ayaw sa dugo natin ang lunas.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSiguro ang pagod na ito
โ€Žay hindi hudyat para sumuko,
โ€Žkundi hudyat para gumising.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKasi kung pati tayo susuko,
โ€Žwala nang matitirang maglilinis ng dumi.
โ€ŽWala nang matitirang mag-aangat
โ€Žsa mga gumagapang.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽHindi Pilipinas ang problema.
โ€ŽHindi lahi ang sumpa.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽTayong mga Pilipino ang problema.
โ€ŽAt tayo rin ang lunas.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKaya tumayo ka.
โ€ŽNgayon na.
โ€ŽHuwag kang luluhod.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽManindigan ka.
โ€ŽKahit mag-isa ka.
โ€ŽKahit umiingay ang takot sa paligid mo.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽLumaban kaโ€”
โ€Žhindi sa pamamagitan ng dahas,
โ€Žkundi sa pamamagitan ng katotohanan.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽGamitin mo ang boses mo.
โ€ŽSigawan mo ang katarungan.
โ€ŽIbulgar mo ang kasinungalingan.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽGamitin mo ang kakayahan mo.
โ€ŽHindi para manahimik.
โ€ŽHindi para magpakupkop.
โ€ŽKundi para iparating ang sigaw
โ€Žng mga napapagod,
โ€Žng mga inaabuso,
โ€Žng mga gumagapang pa rin sa lupa.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKarapatan mo ito.
โ€ŽHindi utang.
โ€ŽHindi biyaya.
โ€ŽKARAPATAN MO.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽDahil ang Pilipinas ay isang demokrasya
โ€Žhindi dahil sa mga nakaupo sa kapangyarihan,
โ€Žkundi dahil may mga mamamayang
โ€Žtumatangging maging bulag at bingi
โ€Žsa katotohanan.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽHabang may mga taong handang magsalita,
โ€Žmakinig,
โ€Žat lumaban para sa tamaโ€”
โ€Žmananatiling buhay ang demokrasya.

โ€ŽAnd I donโ€™t even know

โ€Ž
โ€ŽBecause what people
see now isnโ€™t the whole story.
They see laughter, energy,
maybe even a version of me
that looks okayโ€ฆ
but they donโ€™t see the nights
I almost didnโ€™t make it.
The weight I carried quietly.
The moments I thought
I wouldn't wake up to another morning.
โ€ŽI didnโ€™t magically become okay.
I just learned how to stay.
Even when everything inside me
felt heavy and broken.
โ€ŽSo if I look โ€œlivelyโ€ now,
itโ€™s not because I was never hurt.
Itโ€™s because I survived what
I thought would end me.
โ€ŽAnd I'm still here.

โ€ŽHindi pa ako kailanman umiyak sa harap ng isang tao at nasabi, โ€œ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข ๐˜ฌ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ขโ€.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBuong buhay ko, nasanay akong mag-isa. Nasanay akong ikulong ang sarili ko,
โ€Žkaya kapag may kumakatok sa pintong iyon, tinititigan ko langโ€ฆ pero hindi ko binubuksan.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽHindi ako marunong humingi ng tulong, kahit halata namang nahihirapan na ako. Hindi ako sanay magsabi. Ayaw kong umiyak sa harap ng iba, kasi ayaw kong hinuhusgahan.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKaya sa tuwing bumibigat ang lahat, tahimik lang akong nawawala.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽIkukulong ko ang sarili ko sa kwarto at mananatili roon. Kukuha ng ballpen at notebook, magsusulat hanggang maubos ang tinta, pero hindi pa rin nauubos ang sakit, at lalong hindi nauubos ang mga tanong sa isipan.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽO kaya guguhit o magpipinta ako hanggang sa sumakit ang kamay, hanggang sa wala nang pumasok na ideyaโ€ฆ hanggang sa mapunit ang papel sa kakabura, sa kakapilit ayusin ang isang bagay na hindi ko naman maayos-ayos sa loob ko. At sa bawat patak ng pintura o guhit ng lapis, parang doon ko sinusubukang ilabas yung mga bagay na hindi ko masabi, yung mga salitang nakabara sa lalamunan, yung bigat na hindi ko maiyak.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽMakikinig ako ng kanta, paulit-ulit kong pinatutugtog. Yung kantang ayaw marinig ng iba dahil masyado raw mabigat o masyado raw nakakatakotโ€ฆ pero doon ako kumakalma.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽMinsan, magbabasa ng libro, kahit ilang ulit ko na iyong nabasa. Gusto ko lang mapalitan ang laman ng isip ko, kahit saglitโ€ฆ kahit pansamantala lang makatakas sa mapait na realidad ng mundo.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽMay mga gabi rin na titingin ako sa buwan, i-aadmire ang tahimik nitong kagandahanโ€ฆ hanggang sa hindi ko namamalayan na unti-unti na pala itong nawawala, napapalitan ng liwanag ng umaga.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽO kaya pakikinggan ang tunog ng alon sa dagat, yung paulit-ulit na paghampas nito, parang sinasabay ang bigat na dala ko, hanggang sa gumaan kahit konti.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSa mga ganitong paraan ako kumakalma.
โ€ŽSa mga ganitong paraan ko kinakausap ang sarili ko.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKasi sanay akong akuin lahat mag-isa.
โ€ŽSanay akong hindi magsabi.
โ€ŽSanay akong maging tahimik,
โ€Žkahit ang ingay na ng isip ko.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽPero minsan naiisip koโ€ฆ
โ€Žpaano kaya kung may makikinig din?
โ€Ž
โ€ŽYung makikinig nang walang panghuhusga,
โ€Žyung hindi ka pipilitin magpaliwanag kung hindi mo pa kaya,
โ€Žyung uunawa kahit hindi mo maayos maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman mo,
โ€Žyung tatanggap saโ€™yo nang buo, kahit magulo ka.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽYung presensya lang niya sapat na,
โ€Žhindi para ayusin ka,
โ€Žkundi para iparamdam na hindi mo kailangang ayusin ang lahat mag-isa.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKasi nakakapagod din palang maging matatag palagi.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽGusto kong maranasanโ€ฆ
โ€Žumiyak sa harap ng isang tao,
โ€Žna hindi ako huhusgahan,
โ€Žkundi mananatili.

โ€Ž
โ€ŽPeople often say that when you truly love someone, you should love them more than yourself. But honestly, I donโ€™t think I can fully agree with that.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKasi bago dumating yung tao na'yan sa buhay ko, sarili ko muna ang kasama ko sa lahat.
โ€ŽNoong mga gabing tahimik akong umiiyak, sarili ko lang din ang karamay ko.
โ€ŽNoong pakiramdam ko sobrang bigat na ng buhay, sarili ko rin ang pilit bumabangon kahit sobrang pagod na.
โ€ŽNoong walang nakakaintindi sa akin, walang nakakapansin na nahihirapan ako, sarili ko lang din ang meron ako.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSo is it really wrong if I say:
โ€œโ€Ž๐‘ฐ ๐’๐’๐’—๐’† ๐’š๐’๐’–, ๐’ƒ๐’–๐’• ๐‘ฐ ๐’๐’๐’—๐’† ๐’Ž๐’š๐’”๐’†๐’๐’‡ ๐’Ž๐’๐’“๐’†.โ€
โ€Ž
โ€ŽNot because I value you less, but because I learned the hard way what it feels like to lose yourself while loving someone too much.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽIโ€™ve seen people destroy themselves trying to prove their love.
โ€ŽThey forgive things that continuously hurt them.
โ€ŽThey abandon their peace just to keep someone from leaving.
โ€ŽThey slowly lose who they are because they made another person the center of their entire world.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAnd maybe thatโ€™s what scares me the most.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽI donโ€™t want to love someone so much that I forget how to love myself.
โ€ŽAyokong dumating sa punto na ang halaga ko bilang tao ay nakaasa na lang sa pagmamahal ng iba.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKasi paano ko mararamdaman at mapapaniwalaan ang pagmamahal ng ibang tao kung ako mismo hindi ko kayang mahalin ang sarili ko?
โ€Ž
โ€ŽPaano ako maniniwalang deserve kong mahalin kung ako mismo palaging iniiwan ang sarili ko para lang mapanatili ang isang tao?
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSo no, I donโ€™t think loving yourself more is selfish.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSelfish is hurting people without caring about what they feel.
โ€ŽSelf-love is protecting your peace, your heart, and your worth.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThereโ€™s a huge difference between:
โ€Žโ€œI love myself enough to walk away from things that destroy me.โ€
โ€Žand
โ€Žโ€œI only care about myself.โ€
โ€Ž
โ€ŽYung una, self-love pero yung pangalawa, pagiging makasarili.
โ€Ž
โ€Ž
โ€ŽKaya oo, kaya kong magmahal nang totoo habang pinipili ko pa rin ang sarili ko.
โ€ŽKaya kong maging loyal nang hindi kinakalimutan ang boundaries ko.
โ€ŽKaya kong magmahal nang malalim nang hindi ko kailangang ubusin ang sarili ko.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBecause real love should not require you to lose yourself just to keep someone else.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAnd maybe the healthiest kind of love is this:

While I was walking around the hospital corridor looking for signal kanina, bigla akong napatigil. I saw a room and people inside were crying. It turned out the patient who was there had passed away. It's just sad how death takes someone's life so easily. How boring and sad it is. One day you're drinking coffee, doing your favorite hobbies, joking with the people you love, and then suddenly, sa isang kisap mata, you're not breathing anymore. You're gone. Death is easy and boring... so if I die someday, I want it to be happy, like I die with peace, with a smile on my lips. Honestly, I'm not afraid of death, I'm just scared of how it'll impact the people who love me. Because for me, it's better to die than to be the one left behind. Because the pain of losing someone is far worse, no medicine can take that pain away.

โ€œWhat does it feel like to speak without a trembling voice and shaking hands?โ€

(Iโ€™m writing this while sitting quietly, watching the strong waves of the seaโ€“their rhythm somehow matching the thoughts in my mind.)

Reporting? Oral recitation? Public speaking?

What must it feel like to face all of those without fear? To speak with confidence, to meet their eyes without shaking, without freezing, without going blank?

Alam kong may maibubuga naman ako dahil pagdating sa mga quizzes or exams ay palagi naman akong mataas. Iโ€™ve been a consistent honor student. I graduated from high school with a 94 average. I received an award for Best in Research Brochure. I was Top 1 in Grade 9, and also best in Mathematics. Iโ€™ve gotten perfect scores on exams several times. I was always chosen to compete in contests, especially in quiz bees and writing contest. People know me as one of the smartest students in our school.

But they also know me as someone who has glossophobia (the fear of public speaking.)

Iโ€™m always scared to speak in front of people. Palagi akong nanginginig, hindi ako makatingin sa mga tao, especially if I donโ€™t know them.

Our teachers used to tell me, โ€œThe only thing youโ€™re missing is confidence.โ€ Because even if I had something to say, I always chose to stay quiet, afraid Iโ€™d embarrass myself or mali ang sagot ko.

Still, I managed to maintain my grades. I wasnโ€™t good at public speaking, pero bumabawi ako sa quizzes, activities, and exams. Thatโ€™s how I kept my grades high.

Then I entered college, in MSU. Thatโ€™s when I saw how important confidence truly is. Because if you donโ€™t speak, youโ€™re invisible. High scores in exams or quizzes are not enough. You also need to be good in recitations and presentations.

I dropped out โ€” not only because I didnโ€™t like my course, but also because I was struggling with depression. I almost took my own life that time... but thankfully, hindi nangyari.

I took a three-year break. I focused on my hobbies. My mom allowed me to rest. For almost a year, I was in deep depression, I barely spoke, avoided everyone, and shut myself off. Things got worse when my father passed away. I fell into depression again. For the second time, I almost ended my life... but once again, nabigo ulit.

And now... Iโ€™m just starting to return. To step out of my comfort zone. And the course I chose? Funny cause pinili ko yung isa sa pinakamahirap, dahil gusto kong ma-challenge ako at makaalis sa FEAR na yon.

I want so badly to overcome this fear. But itโ€™s always there. Even if my mind is okay, my body reacts differently, nagpapanic at nanginginig.

Akala ng iba ay madali lang ito labanan. But if you were in my place, youโ€™d truly understand what glossophobia feels like.

And when I say Iโ€™m โ€œaverage,โ€ I donโ€™t mean Iโ€™m slow. I actually understand things easily. I can read peopleโ€™s actions. And I know madaming nadisappoint. They expected more. They thought magdra-drop ako ng bomba kasi they thought "matalino yan oh"

Now they see a different version of me , hindi confident at takot pa talaga magsalita sa harap. And with that, theyโ€™ve lowered their expectations. Funny, isnโ€™t it?

Iโ€™m starting to hate being โ€œaverage.โ€ I wish I were the kind of student who didnโ€™t care about grades. Yung papasok lang para sa attendance, yung aasa lang sa leader at yung main goal lang ay maka-graduate. But I donโ€™t want to be different from my siblings. All my siblings graduated with honors/high honors. Theyโ€™re all intelligent.

And here I am, full of fears. Always stressed. Makakalimutin. Tatanga- tanga. Struggling with poor eyesight. And if I donโ€™t study hard, I canโ€™t answer anything at all.
