“Truth is umiyak ako kahapon sa pagod, overwhelmed ako (I cried yesterday due to exhaustion. I’m overwhelmed),” she wrote on Facebook.

“Kasabay nito iniisip ko yung death threat at rape threats sa akin kaninang umaga. Iniisip ko din paano ba finally kontakin si food panda kasi gabi gabi may umoorder pa din under my number,” she said.

(Together with this, I’m thinking about the death and rape threats sent to me this morning. I’m also thinking how to contact foodpanda because every night someone makes an order using my number.)

“Di ako makalabas kahapon kasi wala naman akong sasakyan (at) lalo na wala naman akong security. Hindi ko alam kung worth it ba lumabas para sa photo ops pero kapalit yung safety ko.”

(I couldn’t go out yesterday because I don’t have a car and security. I don’t know if it’s worth it to go out just for photo ops in exchange for my safety.)

“Wag po kayo mag-alala kailangan ko lang po ng pahinga, kumpletong tulog, kain, privacy at security,” Non said.

(Don’t worry about me. I just need rest, sleep, food, privacy and security.)

“Reminder lang din na simpleng mamamayan lang po ako. Minsan jologs minsan jejemon. Di politician. At lalong di artista. Focus na lang po tayo sa mga pumipila sa pantry sila naman po ang mahalaga dito.”

(Also a reminder, I’m just a normal citizen. Sometimes “jologs”, sometimes “jejemon.” I’m not a politician. And most especially, I’m not a celebrity. Let’s focus on those lining up for the pantry. They’re our priority.)

In April, Ana Patricia Non stopped operations of her community pantry for a day after she was red-tagged by state forces and government officials.
