Light over Darkness

-


Imagine that you are in a dark room, you cannot see where you are or where you are going, but suddenly you see a spark, a spark of light, a light that you see from afar, but even though you’re struggling to get there you are determined to go the distance, then you make that light bigger completely overpowering the darkness and affecting everyone around you to have the same amount of light that you possess.

Each year there are approximately 20 typhoons that hit the Philippines some of which are stronger than others. During these times Filipinos are left puzzled as they grow sad over the thought of what is being lost or what they will lose after the storm. But we Filipinos are more than that; we know how to stand after every storm. Countless of times we have proven ourselves to be strong, especially when we were hurt by the super Typhoon Yolanda and because we survived one of the strongest Typhoons we were said to be one of the strongest countries.

Because of this Philippines was known, there have been so many features of the Filipino men smiling as they drink alcohol above a rising flood. Kids swim in this but you don’t see them complaining you see them enjoying themselves and that's when the phrase "bagyo ka lang, Pilipino kami" was born. It’s because even though life wants to dump us into the dirt we rise up knowing that every time life dumps us we outnumber it by the number of times we rise up. We know the definition of the saying." After every storm comes a rainbow." This is what drives Filipinos to be what they are right now.
.

Filipinos are known for their resiliency and will power. And because of this they know what to do in that situation, no matter how much hope is lost, no matter how many times it happens, no matter how much light is lost, they will not be taken away by the storm, they will not lose hope because of a problem that they've already experienced. And after every darkness that comes together they will rise and together they will bring back the light

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
