I have been very critical to this government. I have a very low confidence in them. Their inaction has led us to this day. And I want them to be accountable for that.

Here comes the day that I argued with my family who turned out to be blind supporters of the president. Well, laban. I had to say my points. After several exchanges of opinions, it went to of course—ad hominem.

"Masiyado ka kasing matalino. Dami mong alam." "Aral ka pa nang aral." "Hindi ako proud sa'yo!"

And my world collapses. I have been doing my best in everything that I do for the family. Went to graduate school with a hope of earning more for the family. Dreamt high for the family. And now.... I don't know how to feel. :'(

Lord, save me. I don't know what to do.

Bakit ang hirap maging matalino sa Pilipinas?
