Myles is Free

She was a free spirit, a young woman guided by her own principles and with eyes fixed on what she believed was right. Her name is Myles Albasin.

I first knew her when she entered the University of the Philippines Cebu as a young mass communication student. I can still recall her vigor and passion as she threw herself into campus journalism activities. Later, we would find ourselves on the same streets during mobilizations. She was part of the movement, and I was a journalist covering the story. Whenever we crossed paths, she would call me her “ate,” and I held her in my heart as such.
