But here’s the truth, a truth they can never, ever take away from us.. THE FUTURE DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM. The future belongs to the honest. To those who work, sacrifice, and dream for a better Philippines. To every Filipino who refuses to give up.

We have hope, so we cannot stay silent. We will keep speaking, keep marching, keep demanding until corruption is no longer normalized, until accountability is the standard, until justice is real.

This time, the light does not fall on the corrupt and their greed, it shines on the Filipino people, on the honest, on us, even in the floods, still fighting.

Balang araw, sila naman ang lulubog, because the future belongs to the honest. LET US CLAIM IT. 🇵🇭

Motorists and pedestrians pass by murals of crocodiles depicting corrupt government officials involved in the anomalous flood control projects along Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City on Saturday.

The murals serve as an expression of solidarity by various artist groups for the anti-corruption rallies on September 21, 2025. (Photos by Miguel De Guzman/The Philippine STAR)

“Ikaw si Pol Medina?!? Hindi nga?? Buhay ka pa?!?” That’s what one surprised Komiket attendee blurted out when the Pugad Baboy creator offered to sign the book he bought at Medina’s booth last year. Yes, Apolonio “Pol” Medina Jr. is very much alive, making books and signing them, driving a Mini Cooper and cooking breakfast for his kids (not at the same time, of course), and just days before this weekend’s Komiket (last day today at Ayala Malls Manila Bay!), he sat down with Spot.ph to talk about everything—from finding the real Polgas in Iraq to his exit from Inquirer, from his mom’s disappointment over his career choice (“She sent me to school for five years…and I chose to be a clown”) to why he thinks he’s never won an award despite his stature (“I stepped on a lot of toes. I’m not wholesome, no matter where you put me”). So if you’re not joining him at today, click the link to read more about this Pinoy comic legend. https://bit.ly/4mmO1dX
