At the risk of being petty, I will write about this once and for all, because a number of anti-VP Leni, or supporters of the candidate in red, insist on trivializing vital issues that will either ruin or rebuild our country's future.
Some of the mocking replies (with matching laughing emojis) whenever I post kulay rosas are, “Google the color of rose. It’s red, not pink!”
Sad. Sob.
This misinfornation stems from Google or Tik-tok or vloggers who belong to their camp. It’s heartbreaking that they ignore facts. I wonder how many have read any of the irrefutable documents below about the extent of devastation caused by the dictator during Martial law:
1. PH Supreme Court
2. Court of Appeals
3. Regional Trial Court
4. US Federal and State Courts
5. Swiss Federal Supreme Court6. Sandiganbayan7. Article IX, 1987 Constitution8. Article VIII, 1973 Constitution9. Section 12 of the Omnibus Election Code10 Coconut Levy Fund Scam
11. Masagana 99 Agricultural Program
12. Testimonies of Martial Law atrocity victims13. BIR14. Guinness Book of World Records
15. PCGG16. Legitimate Media (Local/Foreign)
In addition to the above is a social media post quoted from Chapter 24 of the novel El Filibusterismo by Jose Rizal, which I found to be true.
PINK means kulay rosas in Filipino and in Pilipino, and in Tagalog. All legitimate dictionaries (okay, Google, too) say so.
Yes. This we can say without blinking if we know that the flower "rose" is also rosas in Filipino, and that we have read some or all of the 16 documents above, and are choosing our candidates wisely.
In fact, PINK symbolizes . . .
Hope. Hope for a rosy (root word: rose) future under grace from above; hope for Filipinos to remember and go back to the values our forefathers taught us; hope for these good values to guide our elected officials tomorrow.
“'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)
