HERstory vs HIStory

Maybe they did get it wrong. The men who told the stories that went down as recorded historical fact. The conquering hordes that erased our true history. The prevalent thought of those times that perpetuated their brand of bullshit. 

". . . .focus on her-story as opposed to the traditional his-tory - the thousands of years of recopying and retelling the stories from the male viewpoint. And that these assumptions are based on no original sources, such as the ancient Roman Jewish female epitaphs inscribed in ancient Greek with symbols of authority - just opinion and self-preservation of a patriarchal dominated society." ~ Bernadette Brooten

An age-old unoriginal propaganda for many a tyrant and demagogue - yet it never grows old and too many are still sipping their Kool-Aid. 

With the recent celebration of the 126th Independence Day here in the Philippines, as well as the upcoming 248th US Declaration of Independence on July 4th - wonder | wander | world stands on our righteous soapbox once more.

Where we are in Negros Island we have had a challenging year - not just the weather (drought, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes) but also the island's removal from Regions 6 and 7 into a new unassigned region.

Further complicating this already touchy issue by also signing RA#12001 - a law that reforms the country’s real property valuation and assessment system. What exactly this means once again still has to be determined - lending itself to too much speculation among fear mongers and nay sayers alike.

Yet another age-old unoriginal propaganda for this political dynasty's spineless heir and current president of our country. 

For a country that has been fighting hard for its independence, for thousands not just hundreds of years - the Marcoses are a hard pill for Filipinos to have to swallow.

His family stole our gold reserves, buried future generations in insurmountable debt, murdered our leaders and heroes, shamelessly bought and are still buying their impossible to believe cover up stories, and worst of all they appear to be succeeding at it famously. 

Enough is enough. Too much for too long. We are all sick, disgusted, and tired of such crippling lack of humanity. We are united in wishing them all far gone and the Philippines forever done with each and every one of them.

It most especially sticks in our collective craw that they illegally stole the last election from our personal sHERO — Leni Robredo, the cleanest and clearest qualified human being in the history of Philippine politics to date. 

This is the independence all true Filipinos need and want. None of their made-up fictitious press release or public promotion bought with stolen ill-gotten wealth. 

Then we can all stand united in celebrating our true independence!
