BAWAT ATENISTA, BAYANI
109 years to this day, a nation destroyed an ancient and deep political chain that would later serve as a momentous example for the rest of colonized Asia. Now that the colonial political bond dwindled into mere texts in history books, the very spirit of it remains vividly alive in today’s reality. Today, the flag of our nation’s colonialists may not be waving in our flag poles but still remnants of colonial influence remain malignant in the very nucleus of our society. The bottom of this society is mostly chained and held hostage at the same time exploited even in its dyer state by an eroded structure and by a selfish and indifferent few who runs it. Hence, internalizing this abhorrent context we Ateneans are called to experience this state first hand. Immerse our soul into it and understand injustice’s roots and dynamics. Go back to our very core and reflect on daily actions that contribute to its malignant growth, extract insights and see the aerial perspective of the problem which will eventually serve as a multidimensional blueprint for a committed and compassionate action.
Start it small, start it in school. Know where the battle is, and most of the time, it is from within.
God loves you!
