“Pamasahe Po”

Araw-araw, napapatanong ako: sa bawat oras bang tumatakbo ang relo, may nagbabago ba? O patuloy lang tayong sumasabay sa agos? Sa bawat arangkada ng bawat biyahe, may mga taong iba-iba ang pakay—may mga nilalakad, hinahabol, pupuntahan, at may mga taong tila hinahanap pa rin ang sarili.

Kung iisipin, hindi nagiging madali ang bawat takbo ng buhay. Sa bawat paghinto ng jeep sa bawat kanto, bawat isa ay may bitbit na sariling kuwento. “Manong, sa tabi lang po.” “Paabot po.” Mga katagang panigurado akong nakasanayan na nating lahat.

Sa bawat araw, kinakailangan nating pumila, maghintay, at makisiksik sa mala-sardinas na sasakyan. Idagdag mo pa ang mahaba at mausok na biyahe dulot ng matinding trapiko. Minsan, kapag nasa loob ka ng jeep, halos kalahati na lang ng puwitan mo ang nakaupo dahil punong-puno na ang sasakyan. Panay ang sabi ng konduktor, “Isa pa… kasya pa ’yan.”

Ngunit sa kabila ng hirap at pagod, hindi maitatanggi kung paano nagkakaisa ang mga Pilipino sa loob ng jeep. Iyong tipong kapag mahina ang boses mo, may ibang magpapara para sa iyo. Kapag nag-aabot ng bayad, awtomatiko na ang bayanihan sa pagpasa ng pamasahe at sukli. Minsan pa, kapag nakita ka ng isang ale na nahihirapang makaupo, sisinyasan ka niyang umupo sa tabi niya kapag may bakante.

Hindi rin alintana ng iba kung nakatulog ka, kung ang ulo mo ay tila pinipilit na lamang itindig laban sa antok. Kasi gaya mo, pagod din sila—sa trabaho, sa eskwela, o sa mga problemang kani-kaniya nilang pasan.

Nakakapagod maging commuter, pero minsan, hindi ko maiwasang tumingin sa aking paligid. Dahil sa pagko-commute, mas nauunawaan ko kung gaano kahirap mabuhay kapag kapos ka, at kung gaano kalaki ang tiyaga at pagtutulungan ng mga tao sa gitna ng ganitong sistema.

Tunay nga na ang jeep ay sumasalamin sa kultura at buhay ng ordinaryong Pilipino. Dito mo makikita ang bayanihan, pakikisama, at pagtitiis. Ngunit dito mo rin mararamdaman ang sistemang matagal nang dinadaing ng mamamayan. Bilang commuter, hindi ko lamang nararanasan ang hirap ng biyahe—nararamdaman ko rin ang bigat ng isang sistemang tila mas madaling magpahirap kaysa umunawa.

Sabi nga nila, “Kapag mahirap ka, mas papahirapan ka at ipapakita sa’yo na mahirap ka talaga.”

At marahil, sa bawat pagsabi natin ng “Pamasahe po,” hindi lang pera ang ipinapasa natin. Kasama nito ang pagod, pangarap, pagtitiis, at pag-asang balang araw, hindi na kailangang maging mahirap ang buhay para lamang makasakay at makarating sa paroroonan.

DAGLI | MNSNAYKNMBHY
(Minsan ayoko na mabuhay)

Tahimik kong sinabi, “Minsan ayoko na mabuhay,” na parang pagod lang akong magpahinga at hindi tuluyang maglaho. Walang luha, walang sigaw—parang obserbasyon lang sa sarili, gaya ng pagtingin sa langit kapag masyadong mabigat ang ulap.

Umaga pa lang, pagod na ako. Hindi sa katawan, kundi sa pag-asa. Paulit-ulit ang araw, paulit-ulit ang tapang na hinahanap sa loob, at minsan, nauubos din pala iyon. May mga sandaling mas madali ang hindi gumalaw, ang hindi mangarap, ang hindi umasa.

Lumabas ako at umupo sa sulok ng aking kwarto. May dumaan na batang tumatawa, may tindera na nag-aayos ng paninda, may a*o na humihila sa tali. Walang himala. Walang biglang liwanag. Pero may buhay na nagpapatuloy kahit hindi niya hinihingi.

Naunawaan ko roon, ang pagnanais na hindi na mabuhay ay hindi palaging pagnanais na mamatay. Minsan, gusto lang tumigil ang sakit. Gusto lang huminga nang hindi masakit sa dibdib. Gusto lang may makinig.

Tumayo ako hindi dahil magaling na, kundi dahil pwede pa. Dahil may bukas na hindi pa nasusubukan at sa tahimik na pangakong iyon na magpapatuloy kahit mabagal—may maliit na puwang na binuksan ang pag-asa.

“Ang tunay na tapang ay ang pagpiling lumaban kahit alam mong may kapalit.”

May mga taong maaaring patahimikin, ngunit hindi kailanman kayang burahin ang kanilang ipinaglaban. Isa sa kanila si Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., isang taong piniling magsalita para sa bayan kahit kapalit nito ang kanyang kalayaan at buhay.

Noong ika-21 ng Agosto taong 1983, bumalik siya sa Pilipinas kahit alam niyang may panganib. Sa kanyang pagbaba sa eroplano, isang putok ng baril ang umalingawngaw. Bumagsak ang kanyang katawan, ngunit hindi ang kanyang pangarap.

Ang bala ay kumitil sa kanyang buhay, ngunit nagmulat sa isang bayan. Ang kanyang pagkamatay ay naging apoy na nagbigay-tapang sa mga Pilipino na ipaglaban ang kalayaan.

Si Ninoy ay hindi lamang pangalan sa kasaysayan. Siya ay paalala na ang tunay na tapang ay hindi nasusukat sa haba ng buhay, kundi sa tapang na ipaglaban ang tama.

Maaaring napatay ang tao, ngunit hindi kailanman napatay ang pangarap.

EDITORIAL | A JOKE IS NOT A JOKE WHEN STUDENTS FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES

A school is supposed to be a place where students argue over assignments, laugh in corridors, complain about deadlines, and dream about what comes after graduation. It should never be a place where a student hears the words “I’m going to shoot this school” and has to wonder whether the person saying it is joking.

Yet in the aftermath of the August 18 shooting at Ateneo de Zamboanga University, reports and accounts of students in different schools in Zamboanga City making jokes or threats about shooting their own schools have surfaced. Whether said as a dark joke, an attempt to gain attention, or an imitation of what they have seen online, such statements have no place in a school community. The recent tragedy has made one thing painfully clear: we can no longer afford to treat threats of school violence as punchlines. The actual shooting in Zamboanga City left two students dead and triggered fear throughout the community. Authorities are also investigating the digital circumstances surrounding the attack.

There is a dangerous difference between “I was only joking” and “everyone understood it was a joke.” A frightened student, a worried parent, or a teacher responding to a possible threat cannot be expected to know the difference beforehand. A threat may cause classes to be suspended, security measures to be activated, families to rush to schools, and an entire community to relive the terror of what has just happened. Recent incidents elsewhere in the country demonstrate that authorities are already taking school threats seriously; the PNP has reported dozens of school-related incidents involving minors since June.

But condemning these jokes should not mean creating a culture where every troubled student is immediately branded a criminal. Accountability and prevention must exist together. Schools should investigate credible threats, provide appropriate disciplinary consequences, and involve parents and authorities when necessary. At the same time, students need spaces where they can talk about anger, pressure, fear, bullying, and other problems before those problems become crises. ADZU itself has provided psychosocial support to members of its community following the shooting, underscoring that the aftermath is not merely a security issue—it is also a human one.

Students, too, have a responsibility. Do not make violence the punchline. Do not post threats for attention. Do not imitate an attacker because it seems shocking or “edgy.” And do not share traumatic footage simply because it is trending. In a city still processing the loss of students, words carry a weight they may not have carried a week ago.

Zamboanga’s schools should not have to wait for another tragedy before students learn that a threat is not entertainment. A joke about shooting may last five seconds but the fear it creates can last much longer. We should be building schools where students feel safe enough to learn, speak, disagree and even fail not schools where a careless sentence can make hundreds of people wonder whether they will make it home.

There are jokes that can be taken back with an apology. A threat that makes an entire school afraid is not one of them.

"Kung Saan Dapat Ligtas"

Noong bata ako, bukod sa aming bahay, paaralan ang alam kong tahanan. Dito ako natutong mangarap, tumawa kasama ang mga kaibigan, at maniwalang ligtas ako habang unti-unting hinaharap ang mundo. Para sa akin noon, ang paaralan ay lugar ng mga pangarap—hindi ng takot, hindi ng iyakan, at lalong hindi ng putok ng baril.

"Saan pa ba tayo dapat makaramdam ng ligtas kung pati paaralan ay maaari nang maging lugar ng karahasan?"

Noong bata ako, ang kinatatakutan ko lang ay mahuli sa klase, mapagalitan ng g**o, o hindi matapos ang takdang-aralin. Ngayon, nakakatakot isipin na may mga estudyanteng pumapa*ok sa paaralan na ang tanging iniisip sana ay ang kanilang mga aralin, ngunit nauwi ang kanilang araw sa takot at trahedya.

Mas masakit isipin na sa kabilang dulo ng bawat estudyanteng pumapa*ok sa paaralan ay isang pamilyang naghihintay. May isang ina na naghahanda ng baon. May isang ama na naghahatid o nagpapaalala na mag-ingat. May kapatid na umaasang sabay-sabay silang kakain sa hapunan. At higit sa lahat, may mga magulang na ang tanging hiling ay simple lang—makauwi nang ligtas ang kanilang anak.

Ilang buhay pa ba ang kailangang mawala bago natin seryosong itanong kung ano ang mali?

Ilang magulang pa ba ang kailangang mangamba tuwing papa*ok ang kanilang anak sa paaralan? Ilang estudyante pa ba ang kailangang matutong matakot sa tunog ng putok kaysa matutong mangarap?

Hindi dapat ganito ang paaralan.

Dapat ang tunog ng kampana ang naghuhudyat ng simula ng klase. Ang boses ng g**o ang ating pinakikinggan. Ang tawanan ng magkakaibigan ang dapat pumupuno sa mga pasilyo. At ang mga yabag ng estudyante pauwi ang dapat hudyat na isa na namang araw ng pagkatuto ang natapos.

Hindi putok ng baril.

Hindi sigaw ng takot.

Hindi pag-iyak ng mga batang naghahanap ng ligtas na lugar.

Kaya sana, huwag nating hintaying maging normal ang kaharasan sa loob ng bawat paaralan.

Dahil ang paaralan ay hindi dapat maging lugar kung saan kailangang magtanong ang isang bata kung makakauwi pa ba siya.

Ang paaralan ay dapat tahanan ng pangarap—hindi puntod ng mga ito.

FEATURE | 500 Miles Away from Home

In a TikTok video. A young woman sat before a camera and sang “500 Miles,” her voice carrying a familiar melody as thousands watched, shared, and scrolled past. To some, she was simply another girl singing a song that had found its way back into the internet’s endless stream of trends. Nothing about the video, at first glance, seemed extraordinary. Until you learned what happened before the camera started recording.

She and her boyfriend had been in an accident. She survived. He did not. Suddenly, the song sounded less like music and more like mourning. The miles were no longer just miles in a song; they became the distance between a woman still here and the person who was supposed to walk beside her. In an instant, the future they had imagined—more mornings, more places, more laughter, more ordinary days together—was reduced to memories that could no longer become moments.

That is the cruelty of grief: it does not only take a person; it takes every tomorrow that person was supposed to be part of. The birthdays they would celebrate, the places they would visit, the conversations they would have, the life they thought they had time to live. Death creates a distance no road can cross. You can walk five hundred miles, fly across oceans, and travel the world, but there is no journey long enough to reach someone who is no longer there.

And perhaps that is what makes the TikTok so painful. Millions may have seen a girl singing. But behind the melody was someone learning how to exist in a future she never imagined having to face alone. Two people entered that moment with the same dreams. Two people had a tomorrow.

They both died that day but only one stopped breathing.
