BROKEN Deafening voice in my head Urges me to put an end Blinded by heavy darkness No light can soothe this sadness I am living and breathing Heart is dead but still beating A missing piece I can’t grasp Loosing purpose, slipping clasp Hurtful thoughts are invading Voice is getting louder, it’s hurting Difficult not to listen These tears made my eyes glisten As I sat in the dark Trying to hold on to that spark I bow and hung my head low Will this be my final blow?104

HushMy mother told meHush girl, those words are not for you to speakMy mother told meBe quiet, you’re not supposed to thinkYour father told youBe proud, speak loudYour father told youAll the greatness, they’re all for youBut now I tell myselfSay what you wantBut you tell meThat’s not your placeSo I’ll tell youHush boy, be a little openYou’re not my motherAnd I’m definitely not your dad
What ? 109What keeps us from each other?Is it our smiles, our attitudes, or skin color?What must we do to attain peace?Should we cover the crimes in financial grease?What does it mean to be at peace?Is it laying in a ditch, cold and lifeless?What does lord justice even do?I don’t know, cleave the sickly in two?What do we not know of our own rulers?Perhaps, it is how much they truly measure us?What is it that plagues our motherland?Maybe it is our leaders, quite a ruthless bandWhat keeps you going, sister?A better life, young brotherWhat about mother and father?Care not about them, hurry, run faster!What do we know of the addicts, officer?What do you mean? The cannon fodder?What of the “evidences”?Packed into every pocket and crease sir!What about us?What about you?

SENSES Bombings became our nightingales And cries became our signs of life. I pray for the lights To be calming once more Opposite from all the pain The fire and smoke and Blinding lights cause My hose is filled with Scents of death And danger and fear And I can’t breathe in No more. My mind is filled with pictures I can’t fathom – Wrath and power and pride And prejudice. Images of ghosts are Haunting me, Little did I know, those Ghosts are my smiles And my family’s joy111122
My mouth is filledWith nothing but screams,Unheard, oh I am, andAll the moist inside seemsTo run out and dieWith my dreams.My ears are filled with notesOf despairFrom a hundred milesOr even a centimetre away,Crying, cryingChildren are cryingOld men are crying,Sisters are crying, andPleading – oh, save us, have mercy.My skin feels nothingFilled with scars and bruisesAnd traces of a lifeI will never have again.Now my cells are allBurn outAnd my tears areTrying to wash it clean. 113

Hold my hope These stars have died, blood shed Lights sparkling on the otherside Hold the hand of the lost Hold the hand of the condemned These self-called saints And hell in the streets Knock on doors Hold the hand of the never was Hold the hand of the never wereThousands have died for misinterpreted sins Fall to our knees Hold my faith in your hands Our eyes see the future that never was But these hands will not hold the past Hold my hope, hold our hope 119
This hope I have will not be robbed Gone are the days I stumbled and fell This is the beginning of another battle Armored and ready to conquer the struggle Grew up lost, fed with lies I’ve seen wrong that scarred me for life Now, I choose to stand my ground For a sweet tomorrow awaits and will come No more dark, empty space Sewing this tattered and distressed soul Radiant lights are what I will face Ready to endure these burning flames120
RiseandEndure 121
To The Stars of Our Youth To the stars of our youth That burn out during sleepless nights To the stars of our youth Please don’t lose your shine The stars that lead us to tomorrow Seem to fade out every night Were we given choices? We were born as supernovas Don’t let these sleepless nights dull your shine, Let the stars of our youth Light the way Through this sky of dead ones122

Mga Pasasalamat From our Editor-in-Chief I am still in awe at how things transpired and unfolded over the past few weeks leading to this moment. A lot of things did and did not pan out the way we planned them, but I have come to accept uncertainty as one of the many things that make life beautiful. After all, part of the reason why faith in the first place is because of our inability to predict the future. I am neither looking to predict the future nor opting to remain unmoved by the past, yet I am not likely to forget the people, events and places that made each fleeting moment in my life memorable as each led to where, what, why and who I am today. Since naming every single person that contributed to the success of this folio will require a number of pages that will no longer be permitted by our layout team, I will just mention the different places that sheltered memories and experiences which paved the way for who and what kind of person I am now. UP Diliman, UP Los Baños, Krus na Ligas, QC Technohub, Eastwood City, Tiendesitas, Lifehomes, Eton Centris, Rob Pioneer, MOA, NAIA I & III, TSU, CLSU, ISU, Sunken Garden, Cauayan City, Guinobatan, San Pedro, Pantabangan, Imperial and West Point, Merville, Sablayan, Bicutan, Piedra Blanca Homes, Puerto Prinsesa, Navy Base, University of the Cordilleras. For believing in me and telling me honest-to-goodness insights, gratefulness goes to the previous EB of The Alternative, Joy, Kris, Wends and the rest of the fam, especially to my sports editor, Shaura who is both my mentor and annoying sister. To my family: Papa, Mama, Mark and Faith. Thank you for everything, I hope I am making you proud. To the following organizations who shaped and formed the values and principles that I carry with me right now: UP πO, for embodying loyalty, passion, service and self-sacrifice. Psychology Society, my first family here in UC. To my instructors, Ma’am Gene and Ma’am Valiente for their utmost patience and understanding every time I miss my classes, so I can attend to my other day job. To the talented, effervescent, hardworking and most of all, loving (of life, love itself and everything in between) staff of the Alternative, we have proven time and again that our true value lies not on our individual talents and skills but on our collective capacities. Truly, the whole is greater than the sum of our parts and for that I can say with pride that “I am who I am because of who we all are.” You are a special bunch and I cannot be any prouder. To my twinflame, Elaine, I have yet to repay the kindness you have shown me. I rest on the thought that I have the rest of my life to do that. My heartfelt and never-ending gratitude to all of you.131366
