The noise you read and hear on your social medias are not stupid and Duterte fanatic, No. What you see are hurt citizens who feel powerless because they cannot protect the only President who has tirelessly protected them and ensured their safety.
These individuals, including myself, are grappling with the pain of betrayal from our own country. As much as we want to help and safeguard Tatay Digong, we find ourselves unable to do so, and that is deeply painful.
The pressing question is: how do we move forward from here? How do we heal from this pain? Healing from political turmoil is a daunting challenge. We know how to mend our hearts after personal losses, but how do we heal in the face of societal pain and challenges?

I am just but a nobody from a sub saharan african level of province from the south yet I know there are thousands of us who share these sentiments, often unheard and overlooked. Witnessing the struggles our beloved President Duterte endures weighs heavily on my heart, and I worry for all of us enduring this collective pain and trauma.
I have been told to silence my voice, to keep my peace, and Iโve been called derogatory names. Let me be clear: your words do not affect me. The pain I feel is far more significant than any insult.
My solace lies in my faith, but my heart will continue to ache until I see our leader safely home.
We are facing a long, dark time in the Philippines, and even though I am 180 miles away, that darkness will envelop me and all Filipinos scattered abroad.
To all the nobodies waiting for our President to return, let our pain fuel our resilience and courage, and not turn us into the kind of monsters our government has become.
Another night passes, and I wish this is all just a nightmare. But if tomorrow comes and our president is still not home, we will channel this pain to strengthen our resolve, just as our president bravely fought to protect us.
I may not know how to send our love to him, but he must be aware that thousands of ordinary people are anxiously waiting for him to return, so may he stay healthy and safe until he is HOME. ๐๐ผ๐๐ญ
