Beyond the Stories: Bakit dapat may pakialam ang Pilipinas sa Ukraine? | Talakayan nina @jodeszgavilan, @sofiatomacruz, at @michelleabad_ twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ Patuloy ang pagsakop at karahasan ng Russian forces sa Ukraine, at dahil dito ay lampas isang milyon na Ukrainians na ang napilitang lisanin ang kanilang bayan para makaiwas sa gulo.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ Ang gulong sinimulan ng Russia ay malayo sa Pilipinas kung pisikal na distansiya lamang ang pagbabatayan. Pero hindi ito rason para ipagwalang-bahala ng mga Filipino ang mga nangyayari roon.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@sofiatomacruz: The world has put up a united front in this effort, these are sanctions that hurt Russia, but it also hurts other countries.... acts of war and aggression in this day and age will be met with consequences.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@sofiatomacruz: Many experts say that Putin's move is a part of his bigger desire to have Russia be the power that it was on Soviet days.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@michelleabad_: Yung mga nasa imminent danger, mayroon Filipino group sa Ukraine, they post advisories at announcement sa isang Facebook page kung ano ang dapat gawin.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@michelleabad_: Hindi lahat gustong umuwi ng Pilipinas... it is difficult to uproot a migrant worker dahil marami silang dapat i-reconsider.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@michelleabad_: Yung mga Filipinos na hindi pa natatamaan ng giyera, nakikiisa sila sa mga protests denouncing the war.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@sofiatomacruz: The Philippines considers what is happening to Ukraine an invasion. Choosing to consider what is happening right now is a political statement and not all countries are taking that line.

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@sofiatomacruz: What is happening in Ukraine is part of the struggle in preserving democracy worldwide. What is happening between Russia and Ukraine is a test of democracy, how strong the world can put a united front to protect that.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@michelleabad_: May mga Pinoy na ayaw talaga umalis sa Ukraine dahil may pamilyang umaasa sa kanila. May mga Filipina din married to Ukrainians affected dahil hindi makalabas ng bansa ang kanilang mga asawa.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@michelleabad_: Yung mga hindi pa nadadamay sa gulo na mga Pinoy, nararanasan rin nila yung pagtaas ng presyo ng langis at bilihin.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@sofiatomacruz: This is part of defending the democratic space, and if that erodes aboard, it will reach a point that the same thing will happen here. We are seeing that taking place.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@sofiatomacruz: We have OFWs, and we rely on their remittances to keep the economy afloat, the #RussiaUkraineCrisis will affect them.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@michelleabad_: It is very important to keep calling on the gov't and allies to prioritize the safety of Filipinos in Ukraine and Europe.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@michelleabad_: This is a super power that is attacking a smaller nation... what if one day the same thing happens to us? I think we should think about this conflict with the mindset that there are innocent lives here affected.

#BeyondTheStories:

@jodeszgavilan @sofiatomacruz @michelleabad_ .@sofiatomacruz: Be vigilant about similar threats in the country. Russia's invasion did not happen in the blink of an eye, it's a product of years of institutions weakening, the world not being vocal against actions taken earlier.
