Dismayadong ibinahagi ng aktres na si Nadine Lustre ang kaniyang pagkadismaya sa mga nangyayari sa bansa, mula sa pamahalaan, alegasyon ng mga pang-aabuso sa komunidad ng Siargao, at pagpuputol ng mga puno.
Sa community chats ni Nadine na “daily rants,” ibinuhos niya ang kaniyang pagkadismaya sa mga kaganapang nakikita sa social media at mga ulat sa kasalukuyan.
“Lately, things have been sitting heavily on my mind. I sat down and started reflecting after opening my phone today, because I was instantly flooded with another story, another video, another reminder of how deeply messed up so much of the world around us has become,” panimula ni Nadine.
Aniya pa, para sa kaniya, mahirap maging hindi affected kung araw-araw niyang nakikita ang kawalan ng respeto mula sa iba’t ibang aspeto.
“It’s been undeniably overwhelming. It’s hard not to feel affected when you constantly witness such an absence of respeto,” dagdag pa niya.

Una niyang partikular na binanggit ay ang umano’y mga pang-aabusong nararanasan ng mga lokal sa Siargao mula sa mga turista rito.
“You see it in the disrespect locals here on the island continue to receive. The way some people come here and treat locals as if they are below them, as if hospitality means servitude, as if kindness gives them permission to disrespect boundaries, spaces, and people,” saad ni Nadine.
Aniya pa, may mga umano’y istorya ng agresyon, pang-aabuso ng karapatan, karahasan, at pagsasawalang-bahala ng mga komunidad, mula sa mga turista.
“You see stories of aggression, entitlement, violence, and complete disregard for the community that existed here long before tourism ever did. It’s painful watching people treat this island like a temporary playground who actually call it home left carrying the consequences,” saad ni Nadine.
Sumunod ay ang pamahalaan at ang mga korapsyon at katiwaliang nagaganap dito.
“You see it in the government. At this point, it’s become such a blatant shtshow that it almost feels insulting,”’ saad ni Nadine.
Dito pa ay binanggit ng aktres na tila pinaglalaruan na lamang ng ilang namumuno sa pamahalaan sa kabila ng kanilang umano’y kasakiman at mga taliwas na pamamaraan.
“It’s so obvious that so many of them are just toying with us, treating people like we’re too blind to notice the corruption, incompetence, performative concern, and endless cycle of disappointment. And somehow ordinary people are always the ones left carrying the burden of their greed,” saad ni Nadine.
Sumunod ay ang mga punong tinatanggal sa ilang parte ng bansa upang makapagpatayo ng mga imprastraktura o kaya’y mga establisyimento.
“You see it in nature. Trees that have stood long before us are suddenly being cut down in the name of ‘development’ and ‘progress,’ when in reality, so much of it feels deeply backwards. It’s unsettling watching people destroy the very things that keep us alive so casually, as if nature is just another object to consume, reshape, or remove whenever it becomes inconvenient,” saad ni Nadine.

Panghuli ay ang mga hayop na paulit-ulit nasasaktan at pinapatay para sa pansariling interes ng iilan.
“And you see it in the way animals are constantly disregarded, as if their lives do not exist beyond human convenience. People intentionally harming innocent beings that have done absolutely nothing to deserve cruelty. Treating lives as disposable because they cannot speak our language,” saad ni Nadine.
Kaya panawagan ng aktres sa kaniyang fans at followers, magkaroon ng pagmamahal, kalinangan, at respeto sa mga komunidad, kalikasan, mga hayop, at ibang buhay bukod sa sarili.
“At the end of the day, the world doesn’t become gentler on its own. We have to choose it,” ani Nadine.
