‘YOUR DREAMS ARE MINE’ 57 years ago, late former president Ferdinand E. Marcos talked about sharing the dream for greatness with the Filipino. His son and now Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. echoes this sentiment of sharing the same dream with the people.

This grown ass guy better speak up! His parents are doing all the talking and using his mother to get sympathy but no remorse nor genuine concern/sympathy for the future of the security guard and his family.

A few days ago a businessman’s son intentionally ran over a mall guard—Philippine police hasn’t arrested that driver and yet they illegally arrest 92 food advocates and artists supporting farmers for public assembly & bogus malicious mischief. #freetinang92

#FreeTinang92 Food security advocates&artists harassed, illegally arrested/detained by Tarlac police for supporting beneficiaries of agrarian reforms! This is the Philippines then and now, the sole aggressors are the same, the state, the landlords and the police!

These celebrities are unaffected by the realities of unseen Filipino women workers,exploited in the #Philippines and again abused/capitalised on foreign soil.The marginalised remain marginalised.#AmberHeard #JohnnyDepp will never know/carry our burden.They aren't fighting for us.

The recent celebrity trial is a crafted spectacle. While the trial was unfolding, I was (still) attending to a few Filipino undocumented women workers assaulted/raped by their employers. It’s difficult to connect with this case. #JohnnyDepp #AmberHeard
From my recent artist guided tour with MA students from I discussed the role of resistance/censorship/oppression as a woman, artist and minority. They listened. We connected. We shared stories and tears 😭 Thank you 🌺⚡️
