Safety first.

To my students na may mga shoot within the week, hold muna.
Stay safe everyone!

.

Seeing Duterte or Panelo speaking on air + Coronavirus, feeling ko nasa Dystopian film ako.

Worse, this ain’t a movie.

.

Panahong kitang kita pa rin ang empirical evidences para sa Media Effects Theory.

Look at us oh!

.

Hoarding masks, alcohol, and vital commodities during this time of crisis is not survival.

It’s selfishness, dude.

.

Dear capitalists, wag samantalahin ha.

Kahit ngayon lang makinig tayo kay Uncle Marx.

.

Online University na po muna tayo until April 12.

.

And that quick, nagulo ang ating buhay. May pagka structuralist pa naman ako minsan.

Kaya need talaga ng Plan B to Z.

.

Wag naman sana tayo umabot na maging The Hunger Games or World War Z.

(or Dekada ’70, if you know what I mean)

.

Pancit canton. Gardenia. at San Marino this midnight.

Ganoon ang stress ko ngayon. Iniisip ang mga next steps.

.

Mag Canvas po tayo, lockdown muna sa pag TikTok

.

At eto na nga po, Online Prof na si Cabasal.

VisCom peeps, pls check your Canvas and FB Group.

.

Lakas maka-test ng patience ang sitwasyon natin pala hahaha.

Cheers para sa mga resourceful!

.

Sa panahon ngayon, makikita mo kung sino ang passive (reactive, spoonfeed) at kung sino ang proactive (resourceful, madiskarte).

.

Pwede bang mag
Ctrl+Z sa Year 2020?

Or create new sequence na lang.

.

Thinking about how the humankind badly treated this world, now I wonder who the real virus is.

.

Namimiss ko na yung pang-winter na lamig sa AB Room 208, at mga kids din. Naks.

.

I cannot blame our Kababayans in risking their health. This scenario reflects the misery of the marginalized sectors caused by the dominant social system.

It is not the virus that will kill us, believe me, it is the inefficiency of this fascist government.

Duterte himself is the virus.

TROLLS, pasok mga suki!

.

Not everyone is privileged to work from home.

If only people have a choice, why on earth would they need to risk their health?

.

May kilala ako. Tawagin natin sa pangalang Juan.

JUAN: Bakit kayo rally nang rally? Kayong mga aktibista ay walang silbi! Salot kayo sa lipunan!

Pero isang araw…

JUAN: Paano na ang trabaho namin? Paano ang pamilya ko? Wala kang puso Duterte! #NoToABSCBNShutDown! (insert: nagsindi pa yan ng kandila sa vigil)

At ngayon…

JUAN: Bakit kayo rally nang rally? Kayong mga aktibista ay walang silbi! Salot kayo sa lipunan! Sumunod kayo sa gobyerno! Mabuhay ka Duterte, aming Panginoon!

Voice Over: Dahil hindi na sya apektado. Sila ang virus sa lipunang ito.

The End.

.

Uy, kahit online class ito,
ligo ligo rin ha.

Note to self? Nah, Note to everyone.

.

My loyalty is for Filipinos like him, not to anyone in the government.

Siya ang dahilan kung bakit madalas akong nagiging kritikal sa mga pagkukulang ng pamahalaan (hindi sa pamahalaan mismo, governance is good pag may tamang lider, magkaiba yun) lalo na sa panahong ito.

Siya at ang mga katulad niya ay mga nasa laylayan ng lipunan na higit na nangangailangan ng pansin at pagtatanggol mula sa ating lahat.

Let’s check our privileges. Not everyone is like us that can sit back, relax, and enjoy the Netflix while the whole country is in the state of calamity.

You will be in our prayers, Manong.

.

To all my Communication and Media students, allot time in reading journal articles here in PLARIDEL: A Philippine Journal of Communication, Media, and Society published by my alma mater University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication. As of today, it already has 16 volumes (Issue 01 and 02 in each volume). Free access!

Aside from online classes and educational documentaries from Netflix and YouTube, reading this will also make you more productive while we are quarantined at home.

Kahit paisa-isa o dalawa lang sa isang araw, it’s like doing daily devotion to our chosen field. They will give you insights and more understanding on we perceive the world through the lens of various theoretical frameworks.

Kesa mag TikTok tayo every single day, but TikTok is a good topic for research paper though. Haha.

Iba ang #MayAlam at #MayPakialam!

Enjoy, peeps!

.

Be Vico Sotto in a world full of Tito Sotto.

Spot the difference.

.

Oh eh di nakita mo na?

Kaya dapat tama ang pagboto tuwing eleksyon!
May alam at may pakialam.

.

Mocha is the queen mother of online trolls.

.

“Bayan o sarili?
Pumili ka!”

Ang narinig kong tanong ni Heneral Luna kay Digong.

.

Troll Hunters, let’s volt in!

First Target:
Mocha Uson Blog, report this page!

.

A virtual resistance to fake news and false propaganda is a type of Digital Activism.

(e.g., reporting Mocha’s FB Page)

.

I worked in PBB dati but I would’ve never thought na housemate pala peg ko ngayon.

Big Bro, pwede na bang mag voluntary exit?

…

The humankind will get through these tough times.

This, too, shall pass.
