@pat_mercado13: Stop romanticizing Filipino resilience. Surviving floods year after year isn't something to celebrate—it’s a symptom of systemic failure. "Resilience" has become an excuse for poor infrastructure, corrupt public works, and lack of planning. Survival is forced on us, not chosen. We don’t need more praise for enduring sufferring True progress isn't measured by how well we survive the storm—it’s measured by a system that keeps our homes safe in the first place. #prayforpampanga
