I’m afraid I have allowed May 15 to come without being fully prepared. I was hoping to post something about the human violations in the Philippines that has continued to proliferate, like the case of missing and killed journalists and other people who have campaigned against the government, the unfortunate children being trafficked by greedy men and women, sold to slavery and prostitution, for money, the untold tales of women being sexually abused, even in their own homes, and are forced to keep quiet in fear of being killed or their loved ones being harmed, and of OFWs being continually abused by their employers and the government not doing enough about it.
But because I was busy and lazy, I forgot to do my homework.
Hopefully, by reposting the badge as a reminder to those who may be interested in joining or those who may be able to do more to help the cause, I may be able to makeup for what I should have done.
Let us be reminded that we do have the power to fight for our basic human rights. All we need to do is to use whatever means within our reach to let everyone who’d care to know that basic human rights are universal. Blogging may be deemed too simple, too tame, to even fight back the big monsters. But, at least, we do and we try.
Please do visit Bloggers Unite, blogging for hope.
