Destabilization Talk and the Decline of Freedom
Everyone’s getting ready for tomorrow’s Sinulog Festival here in Metro Cebu.
Thousands are going out to the streets today to observe and participate in the fluvial and solemn processions for Sto Niño. It’s also my younger brother’s birthday today and the whole family will be out of the house to join in the ceremonies.

…kung wala kang hiya, mahiya ka naman. Kung hindi ka na kinakabahan, matakot ka na.â€
I hope I’m not putting words into Ed’s mouth.
