The Distance Between Two Classrooms

 Yesterday was for our Mothers. Today is for our Motherland.

We were at the precinct by 5 AM to assist my mom, a PWD senior citizen, but turns out, unless you're registered in the same precinct, you're not allowed to vote alongside your companion, even if your classrooms are literally right next to each other.

We went early for her, and I didn’t want her to wait for hours just so I could line up as a regular voter.

If it’s the policy, then so be it.

Maybe it’s finally time to get that long-overdue PWD ID.

Or maybe not. I’ve been voting since 2001 and... 🤐

Pilipinas, ang hirap mong mahalin!
