In the early morning of August 26, 2013, a sea of solid white flooded Luneta. Armed with various signs, stickers, and posters, Filipinos gathered together to protest one of the most dishonest schemes in Philippine history: The Pork Barrel Scam. In this recent political scandal, billions of Philippine Pesos were stolen in order to fund fictitious NGOs. Fortunately, this crime did not escape the people. Today, this issue has become so widespread that it affects even the Filipino youth. As part of the youth, this is something we can’t take sitting down. Today, we want an end to the injustice that our country has been facing for the longest time because we are concerned citizens who want nothing but the best for our country.

Face it: the youth wants a good future as much as any other Filipino citizen in this nation. Still, we keep wondering: how will we have a future, let alone a good one, if politicians keep spending money on themselves instead of for the betterment of the society? We want you to know the youth has countless dreams and aspirations for the future. However, these dreams will never come true unless we get the support of the government to provide us with quality education and sustainable professions.
