A Millenial's Burden

-
        As a millenial it is expected that technology or gadgets already has a huge role in our lives. We spend almost all of our free time looking or scrolling on our phones or playing online games on the computer. The mindset that we have is that we can already socialize by what we are doing but we are not, and this is the real problem.
      Nowadays it is easy to communicate with others because in just a text message they can respond, in just a press of a button we can see each other through video call. But what we don't realize is that this is actually hurting our social life with our friends and especially with our family.
       It is evident that some of our parents are not pleased that we are on our gadgets all the time because we forget to spend time with our family. Imagine a scenario in which you need emotional help but everyone is too busy looking down on their gadgets to notice that you are already hurting,won't you feel bad?
       When you do a group hangout aren't you annoyed when you don't even talk to each other and you just sit there together? That is not a group hangout because there is no interaction and the reason behind is that we the millenials think that our phones are the greatest form of being close to one another but it's not.
      This is exactly the reason why the ESP Month has chosen a theme that would address this problem, they arranged a month long celebration with the theme "Mapanuring paggamit ng gadget
Tungo sa mapagkalingang ugnayan ng pamilya at kapwa." This tackles the problem we have with overusing our gadgets, it want to send out that we should minimize our use of gadgets to maximize our interaction with the people around us. The real problem we have is the idea that using social media cites and online gaming is beneficial, but we should realize that these things are not a blessing it is a burden that we now cannot live without. But if we just open our eyes we will see that there are plenty of people around us that we can interact without using our gadgets. Just like the old saying goes we should "disconnect to reconnect"

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
