“ A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated”, a great quotation of Horace Mann. Education is indeed a necessity for mankind. Without education, the world will be a harsh place to live in. Lack of education equates to total foolishness. In a place like Philippines, education faces total insufficiency due to our economic problems. In my perception, the government is trying hard to sustain the need of formal education but the effort wasn’t good enough to provide all Filipinos the thirst of good-quality education. Lack of classrooms, instructional materials and teachers are the most likely to be hindrances of the society to attain education. What would you expect in a public school with nearly a hundred of students...

Take A Stand Pilipinas

The world had been a witness to its lands being inhabited, immigrated, or conquered by its people. During the ancient times of conquering lands, the more land you own, the more powerful a country will seem to other countries. Although I am not very versed with history, I think Spain and Portugal even divided the world in which direction they are to navigate to explore or conquer. I am just not certain who got...

How pathetic is it that other countries can do whatever they want with the Philippines? A few weeks ago, North Korea decided to launch a missile that would pass directly over the Philippines. It was clearly going to be an intrusion into our airspace with the potential for failure and possibly crashing into Philippine soil. Our government appealed which NoKor promptly ignored. The Philippines had no choice but to put in place contingency plans...

To Spit or not to Spit in Public

Spitting in public places will soon be penalized. This is one of the latest updates from the House of Representative in the country (Philippines). The main intention of House Bill 5901 according to its author, AVE party-list Rep. Eulogio Magsaysay is to eradicate this disgusting habit of throwing saliva and phlegm anywhere in public places. Two things I have in mind. First thing, how will they impose this bill? We have so many ‘promising’...

Coat of arms of the Philippines

Umuwi ako sa lupang iniwan ko, andun sila nagtatalo at nagsisigawan. Alingawngaw ng boses sa magkakaibang panig, pare-pareho silang nagsasabing ginigiliw nila ang lupaing ito, pinagtatanggol ang mga buhay ng bawat tao na bumubuo sa pagkalupain niya. Wagas sana, ngunit hindi lahat ay naliwanagan sa bawat salitang nabigkas ng mga hari at reyna ng pala-palasyong harapan. Bakit nga ba tayo mahirap? Siguro dahil tayo ay tamad, o siguro tayo ay malas, maaring tayo ay...

“Cyberbullying”: Crab Mentality At Its Best

cyberbullying

Freedom of speech has changed the world around us. From unlimited platforms to rant and rave to the unusual protection provided by anonymity, there’s no doubt that online tools have put human communication into a higher notch. But whether this milestone has brought  more advantages or disadvantages is up for us to know. Bullying, for example, has clearly evolved along with technology that’s why we now have its virtual counterpart, “cyberbullying”, as the end...

The Annoying Thing About “Noynoying”

March 21, 2012

“Noynoying” equates to laziness, at least that’s what I heard from Anakbayan protesters who coined this neologism. If football superstar Tim Tebow has “Tebowing” as one of his legacies, then our dear president now has “Noynoying” to make himself known for the future generations to come. The new moniker intends to infuriate President Benigno Aquino III but to their dismay, the whole Malacañang only dismissed the scene-stealing issue  as a hopeless ad hominem attack being...

Unang ipinakilala ng Estados Unidos ang prinisipyo ng demokrasya sa mga Pilipino taong 1898 sa kasagsagan ng US Colonization. Hindi pa lubusang laganap and Edukasyon noong mga panahong iyon. Kung kaya naman ang Pilipinong opisyal at iba pang angat sa lipunan lamang ang mga unang nakinabang sa panibagong sistema...

Walis = Gawa ito sa manipis na kahoy sa gitna ng dahon ng niyog. Kakayasin ang mismong dahon hanggang sa ang kahoy na manipis na lang ang maiwan (tingting ang tawag kung isa lamang). Ibibilad ito hanggang sa matuyo upang mas tumibay. Ang bawat isang tingting ay pagsasama-samahin para...
