“‘Pilipinas ang hirap mong mahalin’ sabi ng marami. Na minsan ko ring sinabi,” she admitted.

But Jodi emphasized that the voices raised at the protest prove otherwise—that Filipinos continue to fight because of their love for the country.

“Pero sa bawat sigaw at pagtindig, pinatutunayan nating mali yon. Mahal natin ang ating bayan kaya natin ipinaglalaban. At sinusubukan nating hindi mawalan ng pag-asa kahit paulit-ulit tayong nabibigo,” she wrote.

She then reminded her followers that action begins with ordinary people, stressing the importance of collective responsibility.

“Dahil kung hindi tayo kikilos, sino?” Jodi asked.

Finally, she pointed to the future generation as the reason for persisting in the fight, framing the protest as an act of hope rather than despair.

“Hindi ito ang bayang nais nating ipakilala sa susunod na salinlahi. Narito tayo kasi naniniwala tayo na kaya nating abutin ang maayos na bukas.”

Her reflection resonated with many netizens, who praised her for voicing the same frustrations and hopes felt by ordinary Filipinos. Supporters highlighted her message as a reminder that change, though difficult, is still possible if people choose to take a stand.
