When I was young, I did my best to fight for freedom from the Marcos dictatorship. I did think mine was an ugly fight, for I was rising against a fellow Filipino, unlike Joe Rizal and Andy Bonifacio who fought the Spaniards, and Greg del Pilar who stood against the Americans. For a Filipino to repress his countrymen, that is vomit. When the sweet victory was achieved, I settled for the normal course, teaching young minds never to let the vomit stink the land. As it is, it has happened again, and we are called to rise for another ugly fight,
One parent here saluting a daughter whose passion and patriotism can shame many of those in the executive, the legislative, and yes, even you in the judiciary whose personal ambition and greed you have put before the people you have sworn to render justice to.
I was going to take a photo with the Philippine flag in New York, but I put down my flag and hid it in my bag.

It hurts them so bad, doesn't it? The yellows are feeling the pain and now the media had to go and continue to be vicious on their news against the President even more. That Last President and his minion Yellows had their six year chance and look what got us into now. Marcos was the only real dictator that really exist. It's shame even the priest are getting involved when they should be in the churches holding a mass and asking people for more prayers.

Knight, I am one most supportive of the Filipino, and you must know that by now. In the beginning of my mylot years, I remember you engaging me in the most ridiculous arguments about Gordon, mudslinging which you called mudsliding, and other political issues. I bore with you, giving you the benefit of the doubt that your youth needs education. I was happy when I came back to mylot and saw you have improved on your writing. But this thoughtless comment of yours on an article I am sure you never understood, much less read, leads me to a conclusion that you cannot go any further in life.
