LOOK: Various progressive groups, along with Luisita farmers, are calling for justice and land reform as they commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Hacienda Luisita massacre in Brgy. Balete, Tarlac City, today.

Makabayan senatorial candidates Danilo Ramos, Ronnel Arambulo, and Eufemia Doringo joined the Luisita farmers at the gathering.

“Dalawang dekada matapos ang massacre sa Hacienda Luisita, nananatiling hindi pag-aari ng mga magsasaka ang sinasakang lupa. Patunay ito na wala pang hustisya para sa mga magsasaka na nagbuwis ng buhay,,” said Ronnel Arambulo, Vice Chairperson of PAMALAKAYA, in a statement.

Farmers' and agricultural workers' groups such as the Unyon ng mga Manggagawa sa Agrikultura (UMA), Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP), and Alyansa ng Manggagawang Bukid sa Asyenda Luisita (AMBALA) organized the event.

𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐤 𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐮𝐩𝐚

Ito ang kwentong bayan,
ang patuloy na pagtatanim
ng mga dahilan
upang magpatuloy.

Baka bukas makalawa’y
wala ng taggutom.

Sa patag na lupang
pinagpugayan ng maraming pawis
at pinaglibingan ng
‘di mabilang na pagpapagal.

Uusbong ang bantayog na mula
sa bunga ng aning diniligan
ng mga pesanteng nag-alay
ng kanilang mga dugo.

#𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐋𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐚

Sa sistemang lubhang mapagpalayaw sa katiwalian ng mga may impluwensiya, nananatiling nakabinbin sa kawalan ang hustisyang matagal nang naniningil ng pananagutan. Ngayong araw, tahasang nakikiisa ang The Work, opisiyal na publikasyon ng Tarlac State University, sa pagtindig laban sa mga pakataran at polisiyang mailap at mapagkait sa mga biktimang nasawi't nasugatan sa pagsiklab ng Hacienda Luisita Massacre, dalawampung taon nang nagdaan.

Ilang termino na ang nagpalitan ng kapangyarihan, ngunit ni isa sa kanila'y hindi nakitaan ng pagpupunyaging magbigay lunas sa mga hinaing ukol sa lupa at karapatan. Sari-saring mga pangako ang nagpapalamuti sa mga talumpating humaharana sa mga tainga ng namamag-asa, ngunit kung sila'y nakaluklok na, iiral na ang mapagpanggap na patay malisya.

Sa paglaon ng mga taon, hustisya'y kasabay nitong naibaon. Nilimot at patuloy na isinasantabi, na animo'y walang karapatang pantaong tinuldukan. Bawat araw na lumilipas, nananariwa ang kabang baka mapalayas sa lupang binungkal, pinagyabong, at pinagpagalan.

Kaya't kung sila-silang nasa tuktok ang patuloy na nagkakampihan, taumbayan ang maglalaging salat at napag-iwanan. Ang pagbibingibingihan ng mga may katungkulan, ang lalong naglulugmok sa mga magsasakang inapi't ninakawan. Lalo na't ang lagay ng karapatan ng mga magsasaka sa ilalim ng tambalang Marcos-Duterte ay natatabunan ng magagarbo at maluwalhating estadistikang hindi sumasalamin sa tunay at patuloy na mga eksenang paghihikahos.

Ito ang sakit ng ating inang bayan—patuloy tayong pinaghaharian ng mga mapagbalat-kayong pundido ang simpatiya sa karanasang pangmaralita. Maagap ang agos ng batas kung ang sitwasyon ay pag-atakeng aagrabyado sa kanila, ngunit ang paggulong nito'y aabot ng milyong dekada bago pumabor sa uring manggagawa.

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐈: Undas Na

Undas na,
at mangongolekta
na naman tayo ng mga kandila.

Libangan namin iyan, iipunin ang mga ito at minsa’y mapapa*o pa dahil, oo nga naman, mainit-init pa. Katapos ay hahanguin sa iba’t ibang hugis, pupunan ng bagong mitsa patungong hulma ng kandila, muli.

Sa ilang taon kong pagkalap ng ganiyan ay ilang mga kaarawan din ang nagdaan— hihipan ang kandila sa cake matapos marinig ang ‘Maligayang Kaarawan’.

Saka ko nga napagtanto na magkapareho rin pala ang kaarawan at kamatayan, hindi lamang sa ra*on na parehong mayroong kandila na sinisindihan, ngunit sa sikulo ng pagkolekta, paghulma at pagsindi. Sa salitang “muli”.

Undas na,
at mangongolekta
na naman tayo ng mga kandila.

Ngunit huwag na sana.

Mithiin kong hayaan magningas ang mitsa at ilawan ang daan ng siyang mga nahihimlay. Dahil maaari, sila rin ay nasa sikulo pa. Sikulo ng pagkawalay sa pamilya, ng mga bagay na hindi nasabi dahil sa kaiklian ng tao. Sa mga tawad na hindi nahingi at narinig, maaaring mula sa asawang nilisan, o sa anak na mapait ang naging paalam, maging sa alagang a*o na hinintay ang kanilang pag-uwi. Sa pangarap na iniwan, at sa mga hindi nasilayan.

At maaaring sa pagkalap ng hustisya hanggang ngayon.

Undas na,
at sana huwag na silang
mangolekta ng kandila.

Tigilan na ang ikot ng dalamhati, makuha na sana ang nararapat sa mga yaong pinagkaitan ng mahabang pagningas dahil lamang sa karahasan, maging sa mga hindi na nahanap at wala pa rin sa puntod ang pinaglalamayan. Hindi sana mapasakamay ng mga pasista ang buhay-kandila ng bayan. Mag-aalab ang mitsa ng pag-alala at pagmamahal sa mga nahihimlay, at kapayapaan din sana maging sa lupa.

Kaysa sa karatulang huwag tularan, paggunita ang siyang sanang mamutawi.

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘: which feeling does pull your ribcage heavy?

wind tune into a nostalgic symphony
as the candlelights tango along its rhythm.
it builds a hymn of reverence and honor–
testament that indeed, the living do remember.

the chrysanthemums, carnations, and lilies
also crowds the churches with ethereality
as if imploring to the dead and the saints
that the universe still peaks with sanctity.

golden names etched on solemn plaques,
above, a figure once a woven poetry in the past.
they reek no stench of remorse, regret, or pain—
just the quiet weight of memories,
held tender through time passing quick.

here’s both a ballad and ode
for the all saints who walked a rightful road;
for the patrons saw people’s wings white and clean
when the world was soaked with sins;
for those who saw humanity amid the bleed of misdeeds.

where the dark and silence meet
comes the birth of honor and fear–
there, they ask me,
which feeling does pull your ribcage heavy?

is it the creeping fear for the
ghosts of the dead
or the grief and longing
that comes with the memories
who have long stood in the river of the passing?

amid all of it, i stand
with a heart thumping,
lungs softly breathing–
and ribcage weighing nothing.

through the presence of all the holy patrons,
the world exists in peace amid all the remembering.

***

On this sacred day, we honor the moment for all the revered saints who instilled sacrifices for peace and freedom. With prayers and faith, we remember the holy patrons who embodied the virtues that served as our guidance through struggles and adversity.

Let us put our hearts up as we celebrate not only the lives of the saints but also the legacy they left to us.

Through this moment, let us also remember the souls who have long departed and are now in the peaceful hands of the Lord.

May everyone have a Blessed All Saints’ Day!

𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗦 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦: TSU KTD reaps golds in 2nd Cebu Open Karate Championship

Tarlac State University's (TSU) Karatedo varsity showed their dominance as they bagged 27 medals in the 2nd Cebu Open Karate Championship held at SM Seaside, Cebu City, October 26-27.

KTD Firefoxes showcased their talent and fighting prowess which led them winning a total of 11 gold, 11 silver, and 5 bronze medals, including the "Farthest Competitor Award" in the competition.

"Yung whole experience po namin was exciting because first time naming lumaban sa Visayas, may konting kaba pero na-manage po namin because of our coaches' support," TSU Karatedo team captain Akizha Aguilar said.

However, behind the success of the team, he also stated their struggles which highlighted the team's sacrifices physically, mentally, and financially.

"Yung training namin naging maayos naman but never naging madali because we need to build our stamina, and to condition our body and mind. About sa funds, sometimes we sacrifice our own money [para] makapag-training," the College of Computer Studies (CCS) student expressed.

Despite this, he thanked the University President and the whole TSU community who supported them throughout their whole journey from training to the competition proper.

"They provided us [with] new gears to use sa competition, Dr. Ligaya supported and accompanied us to the competition. Our very own University President and [the] TSU community supported us hanggang sa day before kami umalis," he stated.

For now, the TSU Karatedo varsity team is vigorously immersing themselves in training as they prepare themselves for the nearing State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA) Olympics.

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐈: 𝗦𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗸𝗮 𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗮

Galit pa rin ang langit, may tambol ng kulog. Sinasabayan pa ng balse ng hangin. Iba’t ibang kwento na lulunurin na naman sa 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺. Sabay sa agos ang mga pansamantalang pagluha.

Madaling araw pa lang ay binubulabog na sila ng mga lumalagapak na bubong. Bitbit ang kakarampot na barya galing sa magdamagang kita, damit, at gamot, dalhin lang ang kayang dalhin, suot maging ang pagkabahala.

Ngunit minsan, ang pinakamahalaga pa ang naiiwan…

Hindi pa rin humuhupa ang pag-ulan, isang hindi imbitadong bisita ang baha.

Sa mga magsasakang salat maging ang kita’y inunahan pang umani ng tubig ulan.

Sa inang nasa daop ng palad at pisil sa kaliwa ang munting daliri ng anak at malamig nitong katawan.
Hindi nila kayang busalan ang palahaw ng ina na ninakaw ng kalamidad ang buhay ng anak.

Hindi kayang takpan ng limang daan ang puwang na iiwan ng bagyo sa mga bahay na dating tahanan ng tuwa.

Hindi nila kayang humingi ng tawad sa hindi man lang bumoses na mga hayop, gaya ng a*o at pusa, pagkatapos iwang nakagapos sa nakasanayan nilang hawla.

Dahil may mga bagay na madaling idaan sa biro o gawing oportunidad.

Kung sa marami, ito ay hudyat ng panibagong araw. Sa pobre, ito ay paglilitis at huling gabi ng pag-asa, isang dasal, swerte kung aabutan pa ng umaga.

TSUians shared that they have been lining up for two hours, despite being on-time and with tickets provided by their respective colleges. "Parang nagpapasok po sila ng hindi TSU, ang gym natin ay parang napunta sa mga outsiders. Paano naman 'yung mga TSU students na naglaan ng oras na hanggang ngayon ay naghihintay pa rin?” a student outside shared. Furthermore, they have highlighted problems encountered, such as difficulty in maintaining the line, firsthand accounts of event pass duplication, and a surge of outsiders. —- #TSUMarilag #TSUat118 #118thFoundation35thUniveristyhoodAnniversary #TheWork76
