My heart is still breaking. The pain isn’t going away… and maybe I don’t ever want it to.
For the past two years, Charlie Kirk’s voice has been my companion—habang kumakain, sa mga day off, o sa byahe. He didn’t just influence me; he confirmed the values I already held and anchored me more firmly in them. I used to lean feminist, pero dahil sa kanya, I learned to embrace the beauty of building a family and of Biblical womanhood. From there, he greatly shaped the way I see politics, culture, and faith.
To those who label him a bigot, homophobic, or racist—you clearly never listened long enough. Dialogue was at the very heart of his mission. One thing that struck me most was when he said that the moment we stop talking because of our differences is the moment civilization begins to collapse. That is where nihilism takes root. Civil discourse matters. Kaya nakakalungkot isipin ang mga taong nag-unfriend o nag-block ng kaibigan at pamilya simply for disagreeing. When we silence one another, we lose the chance for growth, learning, and truth.
Marami ring nagsasabi: “Bakit kayo apektado sa assassination ni Charlie Kirk, eh US political figure siya?” That’s a naïve way to look at it. What happens in the US is not far from happening here. In fact, it has begun. Because of globalization and social media, their issues eventually echo into our culture. Pasalamat na lang tayo at may malalim na Christian values embedded sa ating kultura—but the question is, hanggang kailan? Especially now that many young people are being indoctrinated with wokeism, progressive and left-wing ideologies in campuses. Christians need to be more vocal and intentional in passing down Biblical teachings. This is why the youth is worth fighting for.
This is the truth: there are only male and female. Pronouns are not personal inventions—they are words, and words have meaning. Forcing people to deny meaning is a violation of free speech itself. Another truth: life begins at conception. A baby is not a burden or a parasite, but a blessing. Wrong cannot make another wrong right. Our choices matter, and with choice comes responsibility. Lastly: Boss Babe Feminism is toxic. In the West, single women in their late 30s to 40s are the most unhappy, the most anti-depressant-dependent of any generation. This says something—women have within us an innate desire to nurture and care for another being. It’s not simply about saying, “If men can do it, I can too.” The truth is: we are different from men. And maybe that’s a good thing. It doesn’t mean we are lesser, but that God designed us uniquely—to help, to nurture, to be warrior women. These are just three of the many truths Charlie stood for. And if you notice, all of these point toward one goal: the unification of the family. He upheld the Biblical family as a source of joy, dignity, and flourishing in society—gamot para sa brokennes ng kultura at ng mundo.
Charlie often spoke of pursuing the Good, the True, and the Beautiful. At first, I was puzzled by what he meant. But as I continued to listen, I realized: when you seek the good, the true, and the beautiful in every issue, you reflect eternal realities. God Himself is Goodness, Truth, and Beauty. So to chase after these things is to chase after God.
We live in an age where truth offends, where emotions often outweigh reality, and where compassion is redefined to mean silence. But Charlie showed us that the ultimate form of compassion is not to withhold truth, but to speak it in love. And so, while my heart grieves, it also burns with conviction. Pastor Mark Driscoll said, “Charlie is a once-in-a-generation voice,” and I agree. Even if our hearts break for a long time, I thank God they do—because it reminds us to live in honor of his example: to live courageously, to love Jesus, to defend family, and to stand unashamed for what is true.
