ano ang silbi ng pananahimik?

what good is keeping mum about something that everyone knows about? or almost everyone. like the sex videos of katrina halili and maricar reyes. and another brazilian girl.

during the senate hearing, kho was asked if katrina and maricar knows anything about the sex videos, that they are being filmed. to which kho responded - he don't want to involve maricar in this issue since she opted to keep silent.

so what good is silence? what good is keeping mum about something that everybody is already talking about? what damage control can be done by not saying anything? nothing. she would only contribute to slowing down the process. everyone who watched katrina and kho's videos also watched maricar's and kho's sex videos. what does she have to lose? nothing. what will she gain? a lot. for one, she will pave the way to other women's protection against the khos and erics of the world. that these deeds should not go unpunished. that they should have second thoughts about doing these things because they will pay the price. and life shouldn't be too easy on people like them. besides, it will really help her a lot, pscyhologically and emotionally, to know that she fought back and not cowered in silence.

its an uphill struggle for katrina. and i'm cheering her on. hoping she would continue the fight. and let this be a lesson to all ye men.
