<p>On the day of President Rodrigo Duterte’s penultimate State of the Nation Address (SONA), Ria Atayde took to social media to air her frustration over what the government had done over the last four years. </p><p>According to the 28-year-old Kapamilya actress, she has found it hard to keep the faith and remain hopeful because of the various forms of oppression the government has done to the people. </p><p><em>“Sa lahat ng nangyayari, nagiging mas mahirap ang kumapit sa pag-asa. Sa lumipas na apat na taon, ang dami nating pinagdaanang opresyon sa ating bansa — mula sa pagpatay sa mga mamamayan hanggang sa kawalan ng kakayahang humarap sa krisis at pandemya,”</em> she wrote. </p><p>Asserting her right as a citizen of the Southeast Asian nation, the <em><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/parasiteisland"><strong><u>Parasite Island</u></strong></a></em> star reminded her fellow countrymen to speak up to hold these elected officials accountable so as to start prioritizing the people instead of putting themselves first. </p><p><em>“Ang dami nating hinayaan at pinalipas... pero umaasa akong matatapos na ang panahon ng ating pananahimik at hindi pag-imik. Hindi tayo pwedeng maging pipi at bingi sa mga abuso sa ating bayan at mga kababayan. Tayo ay, bago ang lahat, mga Pilipino,” </em>she stated. </p><p>She went on:<em> “Karapatan at tungkulin natin ang panagutin ang mga pinunong ating hinalal. Hindi natin pwedeng hayaang unahin nila ang kanilang pag-unlad habang ang ating mga kapwa Pilipino ay nagdurusa.”</em></p><p>Ria also encouraged everyone to resist in whatever way they can, open their eyes, and remain vigilant about what is going on around them because these are not just a fight of anyone but that of the entire nation&#x27;s. </p><p><em>“Lumaban ka sa kahit anong paraang komportable para sa’yo. Pero pakiusap, manatiling mapagmatyag at wag magbulag-bulagan. Alam kong marami sa atin ay mas maginhawa ang kalagayan kumpara sa iba, pero tayo ay iisang bansa,” </em>she said. </p><p>Reminding Filipinos how the silence of the majority could affect the future of the country, she stated: <em>“Ang kinabukasan natin ay kinabukasan nila. Kung ang Pilipinas ay lulubog, kasama tayong lahat na malulunod. (Pero baka hindi silang mga VIP — uubusin na nga lahat ng life vests, magpapa-special rescue pa. Na buwis natin ang ipambabayad.)</em></p><p>See her post below:</p><div> </div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned=""
