As a law-abiding Filipino citizen, I can say that I can express myself freely, which means I have full freedom. If somebody thinks that freedom of expression without boundaries must be in the Philippines. This will cause violence and division. Happy Independence Day everyone.
Freedom has limitations. Freedom comes with responsibility also.
You are 100% right. We don't have freedom to kill the innocent or brainwash someone elses child into joining a militant group, parents will be looking for them but saddly everything is too late.
Travel outside the Philippines and you'd realize how free we are as a country. Let us cherish every bit of it. Nawa'y manatili tayong malaya mga kapatid.
Some of the kids that were interviewed sounded ungrateful.
I love the Philippines 🇵🇭 !!! We are the complete country in the world, imagine .. God gave us...mountains , volcanoes, sea, no winter, warm and cold climate in some parts of the Phils., , , we can plant anytime, you can live anywhere....God fearing, religious, nice and beautiful people with smile on their faces.
We should always set boundaries. Too much freedom is not good. That's why we have laws and policies to make it balance.
Ouch!! ....America got hit by what you said. 😂😂😂😂
to much laws is not good either thats coming from america sometimes goverment over step also americas great but not perfect usually like any goverment greed and powerhungry people involved
I love the the topic of the video it showcase talaga yung difference of freedom sa status ng tao you can see na pag living in a comfortable life like students studying in private and prestigious schools they can say that the we are totally free, unlike sa mga public schools mulat sila sa katotoohanan kasi they are seeing the real happenings because they are experiencing the hardship in life firsthand
Being poor does not translate to being ripped off of freedom in a democratic sense though. Yes, they're restricted to limited options when it comes to lifestyle and commodities (just like in any other democratic-capitalist society) but they can still express themselves freely.
Gaining Freedom is Great. But having unrestricted freedom is a threat to society. Sobrang kalayaan takes away the discipline, Discipline starts from restricting yourself from doing something, too much freedom negates that. Lahat ng sobra ay masama.
Yeah, lahat ng sobra ay masama talaga.
Nakakamatay pa nga minsan.
*HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY PHILIPPINES!* 🇵🇭🎉
MABUHAY PHILIPPINES!🇵🇭
Freedom c0mes with great responsibility. when we say freedom, hindi ibig sabihin lahat ng gusto natin ay sasabihin natin or do what we want to do kasi chaos yang resulta nyan.
Kudos Jessica.
I am an ofw but i haven't been to a country as free as the Philippines. We are so free that people become undisciplined in every aspect.
We need discipline in the Philippines not freedom.
Hi Jessica, Filipinoes fought for independence for so many times in so many events from many conquerors and invaders. I grew up during the Marcos era and this is the most exciting time in any life of Filipinoes. I was there during the EDSA revolution to obtain independence from a tyrant leader for 20 years. Independence is so hard to achieve and for me though I am residing abroad (US), PH is still not free for we still have insurgencies, corruptions, foriegn country interfering with our affairs and the huge debt that we had. How wonderful it is to hear the word "independence" but it is so hard to get. Oneday I hope Philippines will be free from all of its woes and foes. Salamat Jessica, MABUHAY PILIPINAS!
Ang ganda ng mga opinion nila about Philippine Independence. Ang gagaling nila sumagot.
Salamat Jess tinalakay mo itong topic na ito. Sarap makinig sa mga sagot nila.. kudos sa inyong lahat💖💙💖💙

@@flipkah5691 Philippines is not really a free country.
You record a corrupt government official, and you go to jail for violating anti wire tapping law. You can't sue the Philippines government for its wrongdoings. Look at what happened to Rappler. 80% of Filipinos in jail are not guilty but they can't afford a good lawyer.

I dont know how she still has 1.8 mil subs, She's the main reason I find Philippines entertaining again. She is a really cool vlooger/youtuber. Gon wait for her to get 10 mil
True independence is freedom of education and speech, and most important for me is the freedom from poverty.
masama lahat ng sobra ,ang sobrang kalayaan maaring mag dulot at magdala ng gulo sa isang bansa . kelangan parin may sinusunod tayong mga batas . lahat ng bagay ay may limitasyon . masama ang sobra sobra .

TRUE
True dapat alam nila yan. Without laws there will be chaos. Insurgency na nagrerecruit sa schools
@@BluishDaggerNo we need both
@@BluishDagger what a stupid opinion democracy is very good it gives everyone freedom without violating their human rights and discipline is each an every one duty to practice it themselves.
Maligayang Kaarawan ng Kalayaan! Great topic for a conversation starter! I think the students responded well too and I also agree that these kinds of conversations need to happen consistently at a larger scale.
I think as a young country, our sense of independence is not that well-established yet, as we continue to rediscover who we are as Filipinos. Our sense of identity as Filipinos is inarguably fragile due to our long colonial history. Using these realizations as a catalyst for change is one small step. I think one of the many ways we could strengthen our nationalism is to educate ourselves more about our pre-colonial history, our culture and language. Another way is to spread awareness about social issues and fight indifference. Complacency kills democracy. Independence comes with responsibilities and hard work. We can’t demand reform from our government while we sit back and expect change to happen without being open to changing ourselves. We have to own our responsibilities as citizens and take the necessary action when the situation calls for it. We have to ask ourselves, how can we contribute to our society? There’s definitely strength in numbers and we can only grow & keep our independence as a nation if we continuously fight for it.
There’s so much power in knowing our authentic selves. When we strive to understand ourselves, we allow the discovery of our individual strengths. When we know our strengths, there’s a much better chance for us to develop the confidence to incorporate these strengths into our community. When we combine our skills & talents, we could cohesively work more towards our envisioned future. We need to ask ourselves, what steps do we need to take in order to achieve those goals?
Happy Independence Day to the Philippine people. I'm american, proudly live here in southern leyte. You deserve your independence from the spanish and the USA. I love this country and it's people. Would proudly fight next to you if needed. God bless you all. 🙏👍
If you think about it mostly ng opinions nila ay totoo. Malaya tayo as an individual but we have a long way to go pa as an entire nation. Hindi pa natin kayang itayo ang ekonomiya ng bansa sa sarili nitong paa dahil hindi pa tayo malaya sa mga iilang corrupt at mapang-abusong opisyal ng gobyerno.
I love the topic as it is very timely and surely a rightful question to us Filipinos in our current situation. I have the same opinion as them about what is freedom and independence for our country but, it would be better if not only the students that should be asked but also the working adults as well as they are in the field where everything happens.
Freedom without responsibility is the same as violence.
Amen to that!
It's never a good idea to give people so much freedom because that will lead to anarchy. At the same time it is not good to restrict people too much because that will cause a rebellion.
Yes, freedom without law and order is just chaos.
Di pa lumabas sa totoong mundo yang mga rsrudyante na yan kaya ganyan sila.

It depends though where you ask? In Manila you'd have different opinions, but if you go to the province you'd get something else.
Nakakatuwang panoorin ang gantong konsepto. Nakakalungkot din kasi nga, meron tayong independence day pero tayong mga pilipino mismo ang hindi nagpapalaya sa ating sarili. Malaya na tayo e. Kulang pa nga lang tayo sa pagkakaisa at kulang pa ang pagmamahal natin sa ating bansa. Huwag naten isisi sa gobyerno naten dahil tayo naman ang pumili sa kanila at hinahayaan naten na sila ang mamuno saten. Dapat mag umpisa tayo sa sarili naten at sa kapwa naten.
I'm curious how many Filipinos are proud and willing to die for the country in today's time. I noticed that many are easily corruptible 😢 A good and thought provoking content.
One observation I had living PH for a while as a foreigner is the good faith of Filipinos.
Many can react to others with warmest heart without being forced, they understand love bottom of the heart than any other countries, hands down the most successful christian country.
I hope the Philipines soon gain a more presence over the world thus ofcourse no doubt to their freedom come up from anyone.
Freedom or independence, for me, its a freedom to choose our leaders, we are governing our government. Full control of our laws and policies here in the Philippines. Not allowing other countries to intervene on our laws. We can vote, we can travel anywhere, we can express our thoughts (Responsibly). Freedom in a sense of limitations, follow rules like, we do not steal, we do not commit murder on anyone and other violation of against Filipino people. We need to follow the rules and regulations. We Filipino, needs responsible freedom, discipline, love for the environment.
Philippines legally independent but we can not truly say we are free when it comes to culture, economic and governance but since Filipino are very resilient in terms of economy, work place, violence, and even in our small islands which other country/countries claiming of. We can not say we are totally free but the state of life of every Filipino people, in which we can easily ADOPT to each kind of situations. Which I truly admire and proud of ❤. I believe that the government has the big chunk to take place if we really need to step up from what Independence truly is.
Tama, hindi tayo lubos na malaya at hindi kailanman magiging malaya. Malaya lang tayo sa mga mananakop. Pero hindi sa patakaran at batas ng gobyerno, at hindi ako against sa puntong yan dahil kung mawawalan ng ngipin ang batas, e para na din nating sinabi na gawin nyo na lahat ng gusto nyo at libre na kayo sa kung ano man ang kahihinatnan ng mga bagay na gagawin nyo.. pero ang tanong, paano yung mga gagawa ng masama sa kapwa at magsasamantala sa mga resources ng ating bansa? Mawawalan ng kontrol ang mga tao kapag walang batas at restrictions na ipatutupad. Pero hindi nangangahulugan na wala na tayong kalayaan. Gumawa ka ng tama para sa kapwa mo at sa bansa, at asahan mong magkakaroon ka ng kalayaan, gumawa ka ng masama at siguradong mawawalan ka hindi lang ng kalayaan kundi pati na rin ng karapatan.
the question about Independence is very vague tbh... but it's good hearing the youth about their own perspective, kahit na medyo malayo ung sagot nung iba hehhehehhe.. Good video.
Happy Independence Day....thanks Jessica sa pakikiisa kahit 'di ka pure Pinoy para ka na ring Pinoy at heart
The concept of not wanting to be judged for your opinion has nothing to do with freedom. It boils down to insecurity and desire for validation from others. Being free to your opinion has nothing to do with whatever others have to say. Judgement and criticisms are common in self expression and communication, and it can work both ways to propel somebody or bring somebody down. It all lies in the mindset. As long as you are sure of who you are, the disagreements and criticisms would just be stepping stones for you to be better. If we are surrounded by people who would just tolerate whatever we do, how will we grow? Disagreement, criticisms and not wanting to tolerate something should be common in a world that wants freedom because freedom wouldn't always equate to peace and tolerance. Variety and difference in opinion isn't hate and should be a norm in a free world.
Very good explanation!
Well said!!
I’m glad that you understand the value we place on our independence and are helping spread awareness about it. ✌🏻
Love the two intellectual guys talking about Philippines is free, they get it!
they have the best answers actually
Philippine independence was brought about being released from foreign colonization. However, although generations today are now freer compared from before, you can still see that Filipinos are still shackled by the negative cultures that we inherited from the past, just go to any government agencies and you will still see the political inhibitions that restrain Filipinos to be really true and expressive of them selves, - may takot padin mag salita Ng totoo at tapat Kasi may matatapakan na either nirerespekto, kamag anak - and that just "going with the flow" vibes (eg; "kung Yan Ang ginagawa Ng lahat edi Tau din" mentality really just proves we're not that yet independent or liberated. - Pa shout out Naman diyan Miss Jessica Lee! Loved your different series and I could say - Ikaw Ang halimbawa Ng dapat sundan na influencer. Keep up the good job and expose more if the positive sides of the Filipino life! Mabuhay ka at be free! ❤
I super like how Jessica did not interrupt at all habang nag sasalita ang mga kabataan about their opinions. Nice! Respect!
Pink jacket has her eyes wide open! ❤ Pag-asa 🤍
To me, my perspective about independence is being able to control yourself from such factors that makes you reliant. Being able to do whatever you like in an absolute way, does make you a fully reliant on rushed decisions, instant gratification, immediate response without the freedom to think deeper if it is beneficial, if it is for the common good or so.
Ang dami nila nag sabi freedom to do anything" sa salita nila. maganda ang sinabi nilang lahat. Happy independence day sa fellow Filipinos ko💗🥰
Wow miss Jessica is working really hard lately. 4 videos the last 7 days! Good job and pls dont forget to take a break to relax 🙂
There is no such thing as "absolute freedom" per se, as exercising it has its own limitations and responsibilities. You can just express it without being accountable especially if you have violated someone else's right. So, for me, freedom is being able to do or say whatever you want in compliance with the law.
We don't need to blame the government about our freedom. We are already free but we also know what is right and what is wrong. It usually starts within ourselves.
Happy Independence Day, PHILIPPINES! MABUHAY TAYONG LAHAT. 🥳🎉🌠🌠🌠☀
people should really travel more often. some of them have skewed perspectives about the world though i wouldn’t blame them since media often tries to add flavor to their content just to keep the viewers/readers interested.
"Filipinos don't need democracy, they need discipline"
- Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kwan Yew
More self-Discipline in a fair modern-oriented and fairly representative country seeking compromise along the pathway to progress is the epitome of the complex concept of 'Independence'.
Hit'ler's Germany had so-called economic *self-reliance* for the most part and autonomy from outside political influence... due to it's raw hegemonic power it could dictate upon other regional states to comply with such unilateral rules of the game coming from the top.
But that's truly not Independence either. Very true, the concept of 'Independence' is highly complex and can't be described in any brief soundbite nutshell of sorts. Whereas, 'Independence' is more than merely describing the state of a nation of people striving to be more politically autonomous vis-a-vis outside geopolitical influence , or economic influence... Independence is far more comprehensive in terms of the track and pathway allowing for individual spiritual autonomy, voice in the social cultural representation and needs of society (without being suppressed by an iron-fisted corrupted central authority) and support for an educational academic system that sresses a responsible and sustainable pro-nationhood society, along with academic autonomy again, from any heavy handed corrupted central authority dictating the curriculum and rules of teaching, etc... imho
not really. How about both
@@vincentnin1 -- very true... let's indeed always be most vigilant against those depicting a black and white, this or that, absolutist reality (truth) of anything relating to an ultimate form of society. The issue really is about the common youth around the world, not only in Pilipinas, who are more active, confident and determined in proactively shaping and creating the stepping stones, yes responsibly, of tomorrow's less suppressive, less dictated, more representative and fair societal systems ??
So sad. Even other countries knows what Philippines are lacking
Gusto ng mga kabataang yan anarcho-communism.
The girl with the big beautiful eyes singing, WOW! For a future interview/canvassing topic I would love to hear opinions on divorce and remarriage.
Hi Jessica! I hope you'll try the paborito series in Session Road, Baguio and some provinces in Luzon or in thePhilippines
I really love how UP student speaks, I think they are born to spread there thoughts and ideas. that's why I love listening to all my professor came from UP. disclaimer I'm not from UP I'm from TUP haha.
Mas free pa tayo kumpara sa ibang bansa na may right tayo pumili ng relihiyon pwede tayo maka mag enroll sa kahit anong school. kahit nga gobyerno binabastos ng iba harap harapan na npa recruitment at iba pa.
Too much freedom can lead to the development of indiscipline.
I think independence and freedom are two diff things although they are interconnected.. independece is the freedom from being controlled by outer forces and the pjilippines is independent in that aspect… but freedom must be giverned by laws so as not to be abused bec freedom without responsibilities will lead us to chaos…😊❤🎉🎉🎉
Freedom is free from doing anything what we want BUT without breaking or entering other's freedom, property and liberty. It means freedom is always partnered with responsibility. You have a freedom but you also have responsibility. If you break the law, then it is not about freedom anymore but IT IS ALL ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY. In regard with Philippines being fully independent, depends on the context. If you compare it with the past, i can say that there is alreadt change and we are really independent. If yoy compare it to other countries with authoritarian regime, i can also say we are really free. BUT i cant deny that there is still inequalities and some of our minority is still faced with discrimination, and not totally free. I am not only talking about politics but the society also. We can see that everyday and we cant deny that we also contributing to it whether it is our intention or not. But i believe that Philippines is still a young country and i believe we are still on the process. We can be able pass this stage. But the important is to remind ourselves that we must be thankful for all those who lost their lives for these generations to enjoy the liberty we now enjoying like debating in youtube comments. Happy Independence Day Guys!!! 🎉🎉🎉
These kids need to travel more outside the Philippines so that they'll realize how free the Philippines is.
jess npaka talino mo na korena i really like your answer and opinion about independence day,,keep it up..
Thank you for our great heroes for fighting our country.
I agree with doing this kind of content more often.
'Love you, Jessica' 🫶
Why not try interviewing students from other universities. Obviously, these students reflects the kind of school culture this school has been known to portray. A balanced view should be presented. I would even go to other public or government run universities for this matter.
ang Freedom na tinatamasa natin sa Pilipinas ay napakaluwag...kahit ano puede nating sabihin...kahit ano puwde nating gawin dahil sa kultura ng awa at konsiderasyon...hindi puedeng magkaroon ng absolute freedom...magkakagulo tayo...kaya nga may batas at mga palatuntunan n adapat nating gawin upang mamintena ang isnag maayos na Lipunan...ang tunay na Kalayaan, ay kalayaan sa panghihimasok ng isang panlabas na Puwersa, at pagbuo nmn ng panloob na puwersa na puedeng sumira sa katatagan ng Bansang Ito...ang Pilipinas sa ngayon ay isang malaya, maluwag at nagsasariling Bansa...walang sinuman ang puedeng magsabi na sila ay hindi Malaya...ngunit sa Kalayaang ito ay maraming mapang-abuso...Mahirap man o Mayaman ay gumagawa ng Katiwalian...dagdag pa ang Mentalidad ng Korapsiyon sa Bansang ito..ako naman ay naniniwala, na 100 taon mula ngayon, makakamit natin ang pinakamaaayod na pagiisip at paggawa ng tama...
Philippines is not really a free country.
You record a corrupt government official, and you go to jail for violating anti wire tapping law. You can't sue the Philippines government for its wrongdoings. Look at what happened to Rappler. 80% of Filipinos in jail are not guilty but they can't afford a good lawyer.

Yong independence na ececelebrate naman ay kalayaan mula sa mga bansang mananakop.
May freedom of speech ang mga Tao pero unti unti narin itong nawawala dahil narin sa red tagging .
Nakakalungkot lang na di nagkakaisa ang mga Filipino dahil sa di rin mapagkakatiwalaan ang namumuno.
Siguro kung tapat lang sa tungkulin lahat nang nasa position eh angsaya manatili sa pinas. Wala parin akong nakikitang bansa na pwede Kong mahalin bang mas higit kesa sa pagmamahal ko sa pilipinas.
Sana darating din ang panahon na may isang leader na bansa talaga ang inuuna hindi ang sarili at ang sariling pamilya.
Yong pantay pantay na karapatan ang syang magpapalaya sa buong bayan.
Praying for that to happen.
Too much freedom is abuse...
Freedom for me in the Philippines is a good one. Compared to other countries, I can say that we have the freedom that we want to do.
Malaya na ang Pilipinas sa mga mananakop nito, pero hindi tayo lumaya sa lubos nating kagustuhang maging malaya. Unrestricted freedom is a zero-sum game.

Because we cannot do that. I dont want unrestricted freedom imaginin mo pwede kang nakawan o patayin ng sinong kapwa mo. Kung ganun mangyayari i dont know what will happen to all. We should be a nation of laws.
@@wazzupjbab exactly. Iba't iba ng konteksto ng kalayaan. At pansariling konteksto ng kalayaan lamang ang hinahangad. Doon tayo hindi naging malaya. Sa akin lang, wala ang sa kanila. Iba iba, hindi na nagkaisa.
This is honestly a good topic to talk about. Our colonized years were pure torment for the people-lands and rights were taken away from us, and we were obliged to follow and obey the “colonizers” without having any choice to decline, with wealth or without. And even if we are already free from these colonizers, just like what one of the students said in the video, some of us are still in a colonial/westernized mindset, which is true and sad. Other than that, I think that we still aren’t truly free as Filipinos because despite being able to say and do what is want is we’re still “being limited” and “restricted” by others or the by who is “higher” especially when what we say or do doesn’t align with theirs. So, just like what was mentioned in the references, we are honestly still in the process of achieving true freedom. #HAURizal
the girl in blue, nakaka amaze ang galing nyang mag tagalog sarap pakingan. btw for me The Philippines is too free, people can express and voice out what they want. is just that the Government never listen. independence on june 12 means being free from colonization. but being independent, I think that is what Filipino should learn. some people blaming the government, they rely on what the government can do rather than doing things independently. everyone has diff type of pov about independent but mostly the idealization varies defending on the people surrounding them.
Jessica tingin ko?? napanood mona yung Heneral Luna. Pero may naalala lang ako dun, one word na tingin ko medjo matagal tagal pa bago makailag ang mga pinoy yun yung "Meron pa tayong mas matinding kalaban kesa mga americano, ang ating sarili". So simple but sobrang daming gawain ng mga pilipino na tatamaan talaga, kaya sa tingin ko dipa talaga masyadong malaya ang pilipino sa ngayon
All Filipino students should be helped to visit some other countries before they graduate to be able to have a clearer perspective on how free they actually are, or they actually are not. 😮 Most countries have been colonized at some point in their histories. Is this taught in Filipino schools or is it just the colonization of the Philiipines??
This is a great content, Jessica. Medyo nakakamove. 😢😢
too much freedom will create chaos..pag di mo gusto or hindi ka napakinggan sa gusto mo..feeling mo restricted na? gusto mo agad mag rally? 😅 parang magulang yan..pag na spoil ka sa gusto mo then once na hindi na bigay gusto mo eh magtatantrum kana agad..
True freedom for me is the individuals capacity to act in accordance to one's true character, to be altogether one's self, to be self-determined and not subject to outside coercion which is inevitable at times as we live in global economy/ Politics others try to bargain a certain concern or wants in exchange for particular favors.
Happy Independence Day.. Thanks for reminding in youtube jessica.. take care
I've lived in Philippines and the USA, the Filipinos have so much more personal freedom in comparison, its like night and day difference.
These students are very bright.
Sobrang free, nakakatawid sa "Bawal tumawid, may namatay na dito."
dropping a comment, how free is the Philippines? To the point, a lot of people break the rules and disregard them. whether he/she was good or bad.
love how Jessica really listens and comprehends whatever the interviewee says 🫶🏻
That's ok Jessica, pilipino people is wide understanding that is the good thing its nice to hear different opinion💓💓💓
we all have freedom..its just that we also have law's to follow...
I guess some people are still confused between freedom and independence? 😅
Sorry pal, they just born yesterday without mother....
All this time following you and I just realized you have well over 1M subs. WOW, congratulations Jessica. 🎉🎉🎉😮😮
Lol, the girl who said most companies in the Philippines are owned by Chinese, I was like, “Whut?” These are Chinese Filipinos. They ARE Filipinos. They are not foreigners. Why are we othering our own compatriots? In fact, I would say the Philippine economy isn’t free because the Constitution doesn’t actually allow foreigners to own businesses in the Philippines. That’s what needs to be changed. We need to liberalize the Philippine economy further to attract investments, induce competition, and improve services here. This could also lead to a rise in wages.
Interesting how many of the students are refraining from explicitly naming the United States as the country that continues to exert influence over the Philippines. Lol. In fact, we just allowed them to have more military bases here and our government remains to be their lapdog.
I would agree with those who say that we must revamp our government system according to our own culture, and that is why I am supportive of federalizing the Philippines. Because culture wise and geography wise, it is SOOO obvious that that’s how this country must be governed. In fact, our current system is a remnant of the previous system used by the Americans and Spaniards to rule the country. It’s just that now, it is our political elites that is suppressing the Filipino plebeian.
Freedom is not freedom from responsibility. While the country guarantees your freedoms, that doesn’t mean you are allowed to trample on other people’s freedoms, too. Dangerous drugs can harm communities. In fact, most Asian countries have WAAAYYYY STRICTER rules about drugs. In some countries, there’s death penalty. So it is understandable why Duterte was very draconian in tackling such issue. And I support it. In fact, I hope the police sustains the fight against these substances because they ruin societies. Just look at how China was ruined by opium prior to the Opium Wars. Marijuana is ok, but synthetic substances is a big NO NO for me.
If you need to ruin your body to maximize your happiness, then there’s something wrong with how you think. Not that I care, you can ruin your body to your heart’s content as long as you’re not ruining other people’s lives. But I am still against lax policies against dangerous drugs because if we allow the proliferation of drugs in the country, then EVERYONE will have easy access to them. The world doesn’t revolve around just the hedonistic, libertarian few.
When it comes to red tagging, let me tell you, I've had my fair share of exposure to it during my time at UP. And let's be real here, plenty of UP students and professors are die-hard communist sympathizers. I mean, I was even part of some leftist group back in my college days, believe it or not. So, listen up: if you choose to throw your support behind communists, you better damn well accept the consequences that come with it, which includes being labeled as a communist yourself, no matter how strongly you claim to feel about the ideology. After all, it's your own decision to endorse or even slightly back a movement that thrives on terror and criminal activities. So quit your whining and understand that freedom doesn't mean you're exempt from the responsibilities that come with it.
I’m still of leftist persuasions but I also now understand that extremism is not for me nor will it solve our complex social issues that require working together.
The Philippines is a complex case. We have a lot of freedoms, but in terms of our mentality, we never truly decolonize. But then again, we are such a young country. Like one of the students said, Filipino nationalism is relatively new. So our search for freedom is still a work in progress.
Go go go Economic Liberalization!!!
Jan Writer. Hehehe
Filipino is the little brother who actually thought he can take on big bullies and end up being kick in the ass and run to its big brother USA.😅
i love watching jessica lee and i'm so confused when i saw myself in the background. i didn't even know...
may limitasyon ang kalayaan, may resposibilidad ang kalayaan
Freedom is a responsibility and a priviledge. The job of the goverment is to govern, to not just let people do whatever they want since we are free to do whatever we want. Law is created to ensure equality that no one should be above it (though this is not always the case, but PH is doing well and continuesly improving) and that it follows and live up to the culture of Filipinos.
Point Taken: The EJK is not a good thing that has had happen in the past but people are still allowed to voice their opinions, we can see this in SOCMEDs and any other media outlet. EKJ is not just goverment as there are a lot of factors driving this case such as politics, drugs, business and so much more. The important is, we have independent judicial bodies that take care of this issues.
Philippines is not perfect but we are improving. The government is not to blame for doing its job, it's the people that being influenced by other culture specially western that needs to be observe as FREEDOM is now interpreted differently and that we are forgetting what it really means to be FREE.
kabataan ang pag asa ng bayan
Absolute freedom is Anarchy!
was about to say this too lol
true even in other country they need laws to maintain order this student they want no laws complete freedom
Siempre na recruit na yan sa NPA tingnan mo sangayon sa red tagging
Hillow idol ingat palage sa pamasyal from Philippines
Freedom is NOT ABSOLUTE...
I am currently based in japan and working in a US NAVY BASE and also I am filipino. They are only focused on what they see but if you compare it to other country, philippine is a free country.
Sa sobrang pagkadimokrasya natin Wala Ng galang sa batas Ang iilan natin mga kababayan Sabi nga masama Ang sobra sobra mas maigi na Meron paring may limitasyon Tayo sa lahat nang ating mga ginagawa para maging balance Ang lahat .wag puro sisi sa gobyerno . Kailangang marunong din sumunod Ang mamamayan Ng Isang Bansa sa kanilang gobyerno.
Ang masasabi kulang wow Ang gagaling nila somagot napakalinis
I love this girl....
They're so well spoken grabe deserve nila mapunta sa top universities
Tama ka, you're right 👍
truly
Freedom has limitation. Because if we have 100% freedom then there will be chaos and everything is not in order. That is why there are leaders who will manage the people. God even gives us freewill and freedom but he still gives us the ten commandments. Because it's for the goodness for his people
OMG we are human no body's perfect walang perpektong gobyerno at sino ba ang pumipili para italaga sila diba taong bayan. Freedom, nasa atin na malaya tayo pero dapat may limitasyon ika nga di pwedeng sobra. Remember lahat tayo may responsibility
people are smart and intelligent pag dating sa independence 😊
Ang sarap maging malaya..Happy Independence day ❤❤❤

Thank you, Jessica! We need more of this. This kind of contents remind me of Asian Boss.
To those of you who blame Filipinos' "lack of discipline" for the way that we are now, you sound just like your colonizers. We have agency. We're capable of self-governance. We're not 'barbarians' or uncivilized people. It's just that the system is built to favor only the ruling elite & the Imperial US; to make ordinary Filipinos compete with one another for certain rights (e.g., access to education) and resources that should never even have to be solicited from "those in power' (even this phrase makes you think) to begin with.
I wish Jessica had elaborated on her answer, because it was SO spot on! The Philippines is never really independent, we are within the confines of US neo-colonialism (bagong porma ng kolonyalismo) and imperialism: we're still under the systematic control of the Imperial US through American foreign policies established during our "transition to independence" that exists UNTIL NOW. These were created to exploit our resources and serve American interests, so the Philippines remains stunted and the people remain poor, because these policies prevent the country from developing its own national industries. Even our education system is still very much Americanized to this day. Kaya nga sa nakikita natin sa mga kasagutang ito, sobrang alienated natin sa ating kasaysayan na hindi natin naiintindihan kung paano patuloy na pumadaloy yung mga sistema at estrukturang mapanggipit noong panahong kolonyal sa mga buhay natin ngayon.
Maganda na yung mga ideya natin ng 'independence,' 'kalayaan,' o 'ahensya' ay situated within the larger structures that (historically & currently) govern our public lives. Because even these micro-manifestations of unfreedom that most of these students enumerated (tulad ng red-tagging, freedom of speech, atbp.) ay rooted sa mas malalaking estruktura na hindi lang natin napapansin ay matagal na tayong ginigipit bilang isang bansa. This is also why we need our General Education courses lalo na yung humanities and social sciences! Lahat ng "subjective" (ika nga ng isa) experiences natin ay naka-connect sa wider social fabric na ginagalawan natin - whether you're an engineer or a chef, o kung ano pa man. Kaya quits na ang pagrereklamo tungkol sa GE subjects ha. Hahahaha oki yun lang sensya sa nobela.
Thank you Jessica for initiating such important conversations!
UP students are really the best 💜💜
no. they're biased.
They are ungrateful...the fact they can say whatever they want is already freedom...too much freedom is dangerous...we are not lacking of freedom,we are short in discipline..
Dapat lang naman na may limit ang freedom of expression, Isipin mo kahihinatnan kung walang limitations. Ano walang bawal pwede ba yon.?
