In August 1, 2026, a crowd of over thirteen thousand people gathered in front of Malacañang. Their demand: to move the Philippine map upside down. Instead of a dog with an oversized head, the Philippines now looked like a flower blooming.
Davao is now the balwarte of the North and Cebu the heart of the country.
How will dreams flow in an upside down map?
Some things remain the same.
That mysterious islands, Batanes, seldom visited, will stay unvisited, becoming the southernmost tip, it risks vanishing to oblivion.
Light thing still float up
as I look for lightness, I
might move from Los Baños
to Masbate.
