If one day I have a daughter,
I hope she can be everything I couldnโ€™t be.
I hope she never learns to shrink herself
just to fit into hands that were never meant to hold her.
I hope she doesnโ€™t grow up thinking
She has to please people for them to stay,
or twist her voice into something softer
just so theyโ€™ll listen.

I hope she never feels like sheโ€™s just existingโ€”
a shadow passing through rooms that never noticed her light.
I hope she never blames herself
for storms she did not summon,
for misfortunes her family carried long before she was born.
I hope she doesnโ€™t learn the habit
of apologizing for her wounds,
or explaining her tears,
as if hurting is a crime she must defend.

I hope she grows up knowing her voice
is not a burden but a bridge,
a thing that can lift, mend, empower,
a thing her mother once silenced
because she thought the world didnโ€™t need it.
I hope she uses that voice loudly, proudly,
to speak for those still learning
how to speak for themselves.

I hope she becomes more
than anything she ever imagined,
more than I ever dared to dream for myself.

And I hope she wonโ€™t be afraid of dying,
because I will teach her
that living is not a punishment,
that breathing is not a blessing she must earn,
that softness is not weakness,
and strength is not measured
by how much pain she can carry quietly.

And when her time comes,
I hope she meets the end without fear,
because she has lived,
fully, loudly, unapologetically,
in ways her mother never knew how to.

In honor of the sacrifices made by the countryโ€™s primary drivers of change, the Kabataan Partylist of Iligan Chapter, together with its members, organized a rally alongside the sidewalks of Mindanao State University โ€“ Iligan Institute of Technology, urging the public especially lawmakers to heed the groupโ€™s call on raising the entry-level wages for public school, private school, and university educators across the country, during the peak of Labor Day on May 1, 2026.

The group gathered around the foot of the MSU-IIT skywalk carrying statement placards that called out lawmakers over the unreasonable monthly salary received by beginning teachers. An increase from the 31,000 pesos starting wage to a 50,000 pesos monthly paycheck for beginning teachers is what the group advocates for.

Considering the increasing workload of teachers and the continuous rise in the cost of basic necessities, the group also questioned the lack of funding for the countryโ€™s education sector resulting in a lack of classroom resources forcing teachers to fund materials from their own pockets despite their meagre compensation.

Queries and calls for reform echoed along the sidewalks as members continued to criticize what they described as the governmentโ€™s faulty reasoning and inaction regarding the issue. While also questioning the system for holding back on the funding of the very sector that ensures the holistic development of the nationโ€™s children.

This is not new to the ears of those who hear it all around the country, yet it remains a matter that barely receives attention; indeed, the work of those who dedicate themselves to the betterment of the nationโ€™s future should be treated with utmost careโ€”something the country continues to await.

Hug Time has never been this harmonious, because for the Pop Trolls of CED-IDS, PALAKASAN 2026 was not just about the main dish, but also about the sides of experience, groove, fun, and the relationships built within the Troll Village.
