As a concerned citizen of the Philippines, I am deeply affected by the recent electoral turn of events. Bong Bong Marcos, notorious for his family's controversial legacy has been elected President of our nation. This is not simply a blow to my personal sense of justice, but a blow to our collective democracy.

The Marcos family, under the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, steered the country through dark times, leaving behind a legacy marred by allegations of gross human rights abuses and widespread corruption. Dictatorship-era DOJ stats show up to 75,000 people claiming reparation and recognition as victims of human rights violations during the martial law era.

The election of Bong Bong Marcos threatens to cement this ill-gotten legacy, casting a long, threatening shadow on our future and democracy. We can no longer stand idly by while our country takes steps back into a darker past, instead of strides towards a brighter, more just future.

Now, more than ever, it's crucial that we lend our voices and stand united against unfairness and the blatant disregard for our nation's history. With this petition, we implore the electoral commission and senior judiciary in The Philippines to reconsider the electoral outcome and take urgent, proactive measures towards ensuring that the country's leadership respects and upholds the principles of democracy, fairness, and justice.

Let's defend our democracy. Please, sign this petition. Let's make our voices heard and keep our country moving forward.
