Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the proclamation of martial law in the Philippines— a decision driven by greed for power masked as “safety measures” against enemies of the state; an abhorrent abuse of authority.

For a moment there came “silence”, not of peace but because he muzzled the voices— using power to mobilize intimidation, control, and violence. A time where bullets are sent as replies to anyone who spoke up; a period where nights grew darker as alleys witness unspeakable horrors done to one's mother, a brother, lover.

About 70,000 were imprisoned.
34,000 tortured.
3,200 killed.

𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐌 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐈𝐍𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄. 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐓 𝐔𝐒.

Today, we raise our voices in memory of the fallen and in hopes of a brighter future. The fight continues as the broken system persists.

A fight on behalf of farmers who toil all day.

A fight on behalf of jeepney drivers who are in risk of losing their livelihood.

A fight on behalf of student activists who are continuously red-tagged.

A fight on behalf of every individual heavily affected by the rampant corruption of those in power.

A fight against greed for power and money.

𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍. 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐓.

“They aren’t gonna help us, too busy helping themselves.”
So the young stopped waiting.

This International Youth Day 2025, with the theme “Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond,” we celebrate a generation that refuses to wait for change to trickle down. They are pulling it into the present, hope by hope, dream by dream. They are proving that the Sustainable Development Goals aren’t just lofty United Nations jargon, but a to-do list they’re determined to finish.

In the classrooms, they question. In streets, they march until the ground remembers their footsteps. In their screens, they amplify voices the world tries to ignore. They plant seeds whose fruit they may never taste, yet plant them anyway. And when the history of this century is written, it will remember that the world was not saved by those who waited, but by those who were young enough to believe it still could be.
