Dun ako sa free reading downloads! Wahahahaha. Another great read, thanks KC. And nowhere close to propublica but have you checked vera files dot org? It used to be just a fact checking website during the false info era of that president asshole duts. however it expanded. It used to be independent, to my knowledge, pero now parang supported by NEDA na din so that's kind of a red flag right? Lol

Nothing compares to free 😂

Ooohh I forgot about Vera Files!! Thank you 💗 That site goes way back, longer than Duts. But I didn't know NEDA's a backer now, medyo iffy nga

Also, read the short story collection I linked to! Lies All Lies. Galing. Made me miss our MFA classes a bit (heard of the author first through a professor of ours)

Woah I learned so much from this post! Thank you so much for organizing your thoughts this way. It is sooo nice to catch up on a lot of things Philippines in one long post with the budots music in the background!

What you wrote about the DMW rings true for me based on my past experience of working abroad. The policies serve the government, not the people. It's like entering a maze at your own risk.

Thanks so much for this post, KC!

You're welcome! 💗

Re: DMW - That's a quote from the article I linked; words aren't from me. And sorry to hear things haven't changed since your time working overseas. We'd think lessons have been learned and things have changed by now, but apparently not 😞
