This is what it means to be Filipino. This is the Filipino struggle.

Crab mentality pulls us down. Corruption waits like a crocodile. Drugs consume us like crows. And still, we plant, we hope, we fight.

We are not truly free while envy, greed, and addiction rule us. Freedom is a daily fight to break what breaks us.

Break free. Not just from the past, but from everything still holding us back.
