As a Filipino living overseas, seeing the ₱500 Noche Buena “guide” honestly feels like a joke.
From the outside looking in, it’s clear how disconnected it is from reality. It’s almost like they’re trying to make the economy look okay by pretending ₱500 is enough for a family’s Christmas celebration when everyone back home knows it isn’t.

It hurts because Filipinos deserve better than a bare-minimum, “tipid para makaraos” kind of Christmas. We shouldn’t normalize surviving on the lowest standards. Our leaders should be fighting for real solutions, not releasing guides that downplay how hard life really is.

If anything, this should be a wake-up call.
We need to start choosing leaders who understand real struggles and actually care about improving them.

Filipinos deserve dignity, not excuses.

Ended up in national news in New Zealand‼️

I’ve been quiet on my public socials lately, so I never thought my story would reach national news. Grateful for the opportunity to be heard.

For my fellow trans migrants and anyone navigating their identity, this one’s for you.

There’s so much more to say, kaya sana magkaron na ko ng time mag post ulit sa social media. If it helps even one person feel less alone, it’s worth it.

Three years ago, while I was catching up with a friend from elementary school, I got a call that shook me to my core. It was my wife, her voice trembling: “Burrito is missing.”

I dropped everything and rushed straight to the native forest at the Botanical Gardens to look for him. As the sun went down and darkness wrapped around us, we searched with nothing but hope and a flashlight. Our friends and family joined us that night and the nights after, combing through the forest, calling out his name.

Days turned into nights, and nights into days. We barely slept. We pitched a tent at the park, ready to run the moment someone reported a sighting. Each time the phone rang, my heart raced with hope, only to break again when we came up empty. I was shattered. I couldn’t stop thinking: What if Burrito is looking for us too? What if he’s cold, hungry, and scared?

Word spread on social media, and something beautiful happened. Our community came together for us. Strangers became friends. People brought food and coffee to our tent, helped print flyers, and shared our posts. We must have looked desperate, but I didn’t care. Asking for help didn’t feel like weakness, it felt like love.

On the 11th day, 26 September, 2022, in God’s perfect timing, we found him. Grace and I were overwhelmed with gratitude.

To everyone who stood by us during that painful journey, who searched with us, who encouraged us, who prayed for us, thank you. You carried us when we felt too tired to keep going. Burrito’s homecoming was not just a win for us, it was a celebration of what community can do when it comes together.🫶🏽

Some people won’t respect your identity not because they’re transphobic, but because they just don’t like you.

What helped me was learning not to take every act of disrespect as a reflection of who I am — but of who they are.

This post is for anyone who’s ever been misjudged, misgendered, or misunderstood.
You don’t have to become bitter just to protect yourself.
Stay kind. That’s your strength.
