   “…natatanging babae…”
   “…the only girl, female candidate for USC Chairperson…”
   
   In the interest of transparency, I am quoting these pieces from my speech and video interview. Some quarters have been using, or indirectly quoting these statements, and circulating them in social media.
   
   I understand that I offended members of the LGBT community. For that, I sincerely regret my poor choice of words. It does not reflect my personal position in protecting, and promoting gender equality, and the struggle against discrimination.
   
   I am also apologizing to KAISA - Nagkakaisang Iskolar para sa Pamantasan at Sambayanan, to my partymates, and particularly to Alex Sixwillfix Castro who is a strong and passionate advocate for LGBT rights.

   - USC Chairperson Candidate SHAINA SANTIAGO

   I know what you must be feeling right now, Shaina. *hug* Ikaw pa rin ang aking USC Chair. :)

   This poem isn’t about you

    

   I guess I made a joke
   of this trade when I said
   I’d no longer write
   about you.

   No more poems about longing,
   no more lotuses on ponds,
   no storms to flood
   the streets

   of my city. No more moons
   waxing to the fullness of your absence, 
   no more

   contemplating the distance
   between cement roads
   and stars –no more,
   no more.

   But every time I try to write 
   about something else
   the more I find you
   in everything

   else.

   When I write 
   about the rain I feel
   your fingers on my nape,
   I think of us 
   and the constancy
   of continental drifts.
   And when I do about God

   the more 
   I accept that there isn’t
   one at all since you left.
   Now that I try to write about

   writing itself,
   I realize there’s
   no escaping you,
   is there, really –As slowly

   I notice this 
   poem, if it’s a poem
   at all, casually turning into
   something I didn’t want it to be.

   Neil: Guys, please. I don’t even have a gun. Isn’t this against the rules?
   Mike: There’s only one rule, Fat Neil. The prize goes to the last man standing.
   [A lone figure drops down behind them]
   Annie: So to speak.
   [Mike and his gang spin around but Annie shoots them all]
   Mike: If you were a dude you’d have my fist up your balls!
   Neil: Thank you, Annie.
   Annie: Kick their guns to me. [He leans down] Kick, don’t reach. Hey, Christina Ricci! I said kick.
   Neil: Annie take it easy. You’ve got to learn to trust people. [He slides two of the three guns over] Can’t you leave me with a little something? We’re friends, Annie, remember? We played Dungeons & Dragons together.
   Annie: That was a game. [She walks off but hears Neil take the safety off his gun. She whirls around, guns akimbo] This is paintball.
