𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐌𝐍 | Appear, Disappear

Nearly four years after the first disappearance, the case still feels less like a search for truth and more like a struggle against the forces trying to keep it hidden. Delay is often blamed on the limits of the law, but laws do not slow down on their own. They slow down when those who carry them hesitate, and they stop when moving forward becomes too costly for those in power.

I find it difficult to ignore the irony when the public is told to trust the process while the same system seems to lose urgency the moment influence and money enter the picture. When I see power choosing silence, I believe justice does not completely disappear, but it sinks deep enough that only those who refuse to stop searching can still see it.

That is why I admire how the families of the missing sabungeros continue to speak after years of waiting, refusing to let the names of their fathers, sons, and brothers fade the same way they vanished from cockpit arenas and police reports.

They keep asking the same question that has never been fully answered, not because they want revenge, but because they want the truth to finally reach the surface.

I hold firm that nothing can equal a human life. Not money, not influence, not the millions earned from gambling, and not the comfort of those who would rather let the case fade away.

When people disappear, the truth must not disappear with them. No matter how long it is forced underwater, it will always find a way to rise.

𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐌𝐍 | Voting on Emotion

Vice President Duterte's early positioning for the 2028 elections may indeed reflect a sincere desire to continue serving the country. But sincerity alone is never enough to justify leadership. In a democracy, declarations of service must always be accompanied by scrutiny.

For my part, I believe we should approach every political narrative - no matter how compelling - with a measure of caution. Not because we presume guilt, and certainly not because we favor one political faction over another. Rather, because we recognize that democracy works best when citizens remain thoughtful, critical, and unwilling to surrender their judgment to spectacle.

In the end, the future of this nation will not be decided solely by those who run for office. It will also be shaped by the voters who choose which stories to believe, which leaders to trust, and which visions for the country deserve to prevail.
