Have we truly stopped being someone's backburner?
The tragic truth is that the Philippines itself has become the world’s backburner. We are the ones who tear out our own hearts just to keep everyone else warm. We are good enough to keep the engine running, but never invited to sit at the table. We are passionately remembered in moments of need and seamlessly forgotten in moments of abundance.

We are left waiting in the dark, hoping to finally be chosen.
