A Burden or a Weapon?

-


The Philippines is a quiet country, everyone lived peacefully and all was well. Until a group of Spaniard colonists lead by Ferdinand Magellan shocked them by taking away their freedom for 333 years. With the help of the Americans we were finally free, and the Philippines waved it's flag at Amos, Cavite on June 12, 1898, unfortunately some time after we were colonized once again by the Japanese as weapons for the World War, nevertheless we still celebrate June 12 of every year as the day we the Filipinos and our country had our freedom.

These days we are living in a modernized world and because of this we are yet again being imprisoned by a new enemy, technology, because of this most of the teenagers are not aware of the sacrifices hat were made for us to gain the freedom we are experiencing right now. Because of this we need to wake up! We need to start being dedicated in making our country truly free. We need to use our knowledge in using social media to help in making our fellow countrymen realize that we our losing our nationalism and open their eyes, minds and hearts on what we have to do for the sacrifices of our heroes to be acknowledged.

The essence of Independence Day is to give acknowledgement to our freedom and the people who gave it to us. If we use what has been identified as the reason for us to once again lose our freedom is what we use to bring it back. "We should like our nationalism, comment on what we should do to bring it back and share it to open our countrymen's eyes"

Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik

-
  Cebuano , Hiligayno, Ilokano,  Kapampangan , Kinaray-a, at  Waray Waray, hindi maipagkakaila na ang Pilipinas ay bansang napakaraming lengwahe. hindi mo akalaing sa napakaliit na bansa ay may mahigit 170 na lengwahe, ngunit dimo akalaing may isang lengwaheng kumokonekta ng lahat ng Pilipino, ang Wikang Filipino.  Isang buwan kada taon ay isinasagawa ang "Buwan ng Wika", kadalasan ito ay nagaganap sa buwan ng Agosto. Ngayong taon ang tema ay, "Filipino, Wika ng Saliksik!" at sa aking palagay ang temang ito ay dapat bigyan ng pansin. Sa panahon ngayon ang batayan ng talino ay ang pagkabihasa sa pagsasalita ng wikang ingles, sa panahon ngayon kapag tagalog lang ang alam mo natatawag kang walang alam. Ganito ang estado ng ating buhay ngayon na tila'y minamaliit nila ang wikang sariling atin, tila kinakakahiya nila ito,ngunit hindi nila naisasaisip ang kahalagahan nito sa ating kultura, at ating sarili.  Simula pa nung una ay hindi na natin maipagkakaila

A Father or A Dictator?

-
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, the 16th President of the Philippines delivered his State of the Nation Address last July 23, 2018. The said event he said some words that certainly left a mark and caught the attention of many Filipinos'. Because of these various words that were let out we couldn't help thinking is the President the father that we think of him to be or a dictator in disguise? "Your concern is human rights, mine is human lives" This was just one of the most talked about quote that the President mentioned during the said event. Although this was considered touching for some, i wondered on why he said that. It was in the month of August 2017 when he said "Shoot those who are part of the drug activity. If they are obstructing justice, you shoot them.” This statement contradicts what the Philippine Human Rights stand for. And this is where my concerns were raised about the president slowly becoming a dictator. One of the first acts that was implemen
