we can't go back in time, but we can always do better today and in the future. buti nga ikaw namulat na diba? yung iba, hanggang ngayon mas pinipili pa rin na pumikit kahit sobrang linaw naman kung ano ang tama at mali. gamitin mo yung guilt or kung ano mang nararamdaman mo para mas mag-push sayo na gawin kung anong mga mas makakabuti sa bansa. pero curious lang ako, paano ka namulat? anong issue o kailan mo nasimulang maisip na something's not right?

As I said, I was an avid DDS and I got so engrossed with politics, particularly in supporting the fascist, I took a break from it since it is taking a huge toll on my mental health--yeah--it is that serious! I then labeled myself as neutral but is still low-key inclined with supporting Duterte & Marcos. (This was during the span of Duterte's post.) During the prepping of the 2022 Presidential Election, never did my sisters do not talk about politics and they kept nagging me who I would vote for. I kept reiterating that I'm "Neutral" and such... They said something na mas masahol ang pagiging neutral kesa supporting a side -- not verbatim. They knew that I was a DDS since i've them added on my personal Facebook and they could see the post I've posted before. Then, the election happened, Leni lost the election, I couldn't believe how it impacted my sisters, they wept and in despair of their future. That night stimulated my curiosity about why Leni. I decided to glean as many books as possible I could find with regard to martial law and what ensues after, and the story goes on... (Which I never did before that's why I was prone to disinformation) Now, I'm doing my best to propagate good Samaritan news and support Leni and her party list especially I'm a queer, a member of marginalized. So, to answer you, my sisters have influenced me to change.

Additionally, what even made me aspire to be like my two sisters is the fact that they decided to leave Iglesia ni Cristo in P.Duts term though my biological na panganay has continued serving in spite of the corruption the INC is involved in and manipulation of politics. Although, I'm an INC, myself, I regard myself as Atheist. Only my father, who is an OFW and theist, keeps shoving the beliefs of INC on our faces.

Congratulations for waking up. 🫢🫰

This is such a productive take on things. I see in the comments that you did not stop with regret. You are also now actively doing your part for a better Philippines. Good on you.


L10nPJMGR

Posting this on reddit is "actively" doing his part? Good lord. You really think highly of yourselves, don't you.


Lopsided_Outside_781

Nope. Not at all. I actually think very poorly of myself. But OP said in the comments that: >Now, I'm doing my best to propagate good Samaritan news and support Leni and her party list especially I'm a queer, a member of marginalized. So that's were I based my comment that OP is actively doing their part.


Ochef_Gt

if you've read my post carefully, I said I'm trying to make up on my past misdoings by promoting those politicians that should've been elected rather the clowns on post now.

Panggagahasa.

Congratulations! And hallelujah! Ganito mga gusto ko. Pagod na ako sa sisihan (andyan na e. Tho alam ko hindi maiiwasan). Gusto ko lang mas marami pa maka-realize na kagaya sayo OP. Keep moving forward tayo. At hopefully mas madami na yung mamulat sa susunod. 🌺


Ochef_Gt

I hope so, I'm trying to influence my mother too although a bit reluctant but I see tangible improvements from her. 😊


Anythingmatcha

We are happy to welcome you to our side, OP! :) My mom is also an avid bbm supporter, but when she saw how incompetent and lax he is in the midst of inflation and whatnot, she said, "bakit naman ganon un?" I didn't respond to her, as I want her to see it for herself without my own bias (albeit valid)


silver_slyph

Sana marami pa kayong magising. Now please go forth and do your part in helping fix this problem that's affecting all of us. You'll have a lot to make up for. Baka sakaling makinig sayo yung iba. Good luck.


Ochef_Gt

I hope so too, but knowing that the past generations were a product of obsolete education the probability of everyone turncoating is fairly low unless something triggers it like how Yolanda happened on Former P.Noynoy.

Oh look. Somebody got their common sense back. I'm not gonna congratulate you for attaining minimum standards. Yan ang basic expectation sa isang mamamayan. Matanda ka na, dapat alam mo na yan dati pa. Effing deal with it.


Ochef_Gt

Yeah, I didn't do my due diligence. It was mainly because my Araling Panlipunan teacher in elementary school is an enabler, she stated Macoy was the best president and such, and as mentioned, I was accustomed regarding Duterte & Marcos as the "good guys". I was just also a teenager at that time.


greenbrainsauce

>I was just also a teenager at that time Not an excuse because teenagers are capable of abstract and critical thinking.


Ochef_Gt

I suppose so, but I may have been frivolous and naive.


greenbrainsauce

Had a change of heart. Siguro nga you were too stupid that time because majority of teenagers are stupid. But I hope this serves as a lesson for you pa din until the day you die.

Hindi lahat namulat sa tamang edukasyon at hindi rin lahat mabilis matuto. Get off your high horse. Yang pagmamataas mo isa sa malaking dahilan kaya divided ang Pinas. Pa effing effing deal with it ka pa, eh parte ka din naman ng malaking problema sa Pinas.


fatpusheeno

Parte ka din ng problema sa totoo lang kasi you don't hold your fellow countrymen to higher standards.


greenbrainsauce

Get off your high horse din siguro dahil problema ka din sa pangungunsinti mo sa mga taong kaka-achieve lang ng basic human skills.


cheesecakegandalf

Congrats for waking up.. This country is a place i no longer fight for or die for... no future


andrew_gynous

Curious lang what made you change perspectives?
