inggit na inggit ako sa south korea

whats happening there is so unfortunate pero as i was scrolling through live updates sa nangyayari sa south korea kagabi, di ko mapigilan mainggit ng sobra sobra. their politicians woke up at midnight, ran to the parliament building, and climbed walls para lang maoverturn yung declaration ng martial law. the citizens literally lifted them up the walls para makapasok, senior citizens stopped military trucks by standing in the way, women were at the scene helping barricade the building habang yung mga lalaki talaga nakikipagstand off just to let their politicians enter the building. it also helped that despite the country being under martial law hindi super violent yung mga sundalo nila and was practicing restraint against the civilians.

i know they'll be going through so much more sa aftermath pero after witnessing south koreans protect their democracy so fiercely, i cant help but feel envy. grabe ang OA ko pero naawa ako bigla sa pilipinas, even imagining our people doing the same thing feels impossible. if that was the philippines puro vloggers makikita mo on the scene spreading propaganda to justify it. ang sad lang kasi filipinos deserve better pero its so clear na we have such a long way to go.
