I agree when the political analysts say that this must be the most crucial Philippine election. Long before the filing of the presidential candidacy, I observed how impactful social media is in turning the sides. Its wide reach also made it susceptible to becoming the machinery of disinformation and history revisionism. Today, I am inspired by the collective efforts to fight against it.
This is my entry for the #AprilFalls22 prompt: but what’s the cost? Aside from facing a lot of backlashes, threats, and trolling, what’s the cost of standing your ground?

love
for people, no matter the colors

time
their concerns are ours too

break disinformation
future
in the end, the impact is for all of us; Filipino.
