Well, I am not the main contestant, for my mom is the one who is competing. She is an outstanding Master Teacher an intelligent, wise and a caring person. She is a leader type, a strict leader that does not tolerate laziness and incompetence. But on March 14, 2022, amidst the pressure and the competitive situation of Gawad Patnugot. I was heavily scolded; I have neglected to help my mom with some of her documents in exchange of doing and complying with my school works. Then after I had been scolded, I was broken and I’ve got into that identity crisis thingy and had questioned myself of my worth and purpose as I how I can be blind of things and be ignorant, to be a prideful person that always forces what he wants. Well, I had been humbled that day and it made me realize how slow I am, I am slow in working and I a...

"APPOINTED BY LEADERS, CHOSEN TO SERVE!"

 

Ang pagboto ay hindi lamang isang karapatan bagkus isa ring obligasyon at responsibilidad.

  ·         Ang kakayahan bumoto ay isang karapatan ng bawat mamayang pilipino na piliin ang leader na kanilang nais. Isa itong karapatan na walang sino man ang dapat kumuha o mang-abuso rito. Subalit ang pagboto ito man ay ating obligasyon at karapatan, ito rin ay isa sa ating pinakamalaking responsibilidad bilang isang Pilipino. Nasa ating mga kamay ang kinabukasan ng ating bansa sapagkat nasa ating mga palad ang kapangyarihan na mag-luklok sa lider na ating tinatamasa. Pero sa desisyon na ating gagawin sa pagpili ng ating mga susunod na mga mamumuno. Marapat nating isaisip at pagpilian ng mabuti ang ating iboboto. Ito bang kandidatong ito ay tapat sa kanyang salita magpakailanman? Ito bang kandidatong ito ay may prinsipyo at may takot sa Diyos? At ito bang kandidatong ito ay magiging tapat at inaangat ang lahat kapag siya ay naluklok? Maging mausisa sa pagpili ng mga susunod ng lider ng bayan sapagkat kung ano man ang kanilang mga gagawin at de...

“Filipino Wika Ng Sinilangan” ni Lourenzo Manimtim

  “Filipino Wika Ng Sinilangan” Ang wika ay ang simbolo ng isang bansa, ito ang simbolo ng kultura, tradisyon, at nang kanilang pagkakakilanlan o identidad. Napakahalaga ng wika sapagkat ito ang nagsisilbing tulay sa mga tao upang magkaroon sila ng kakayahan makipag salamuha, makipag usap at bumuo ng koneksyon sa bawat isa. Ang wika ay napakahalaga at kahit kailan man hinding hindi mo pwedeng itakwil o kaligtaan. Ang wika ay dapat bigyan ng pagmamahal, ito ay para sa lahat at ang wika ay malaya.  “O, ano kayo? Hanggang diyan na lamang ba kayo sa Pilipino?” - Genova Matute Napukaw ang aking damdamin, ako ay nagising at namulat sa katotohanan at realidad ng sitwasyon ng ating wika sa kasalukuyang panahon mula ng tapos kong binasa ang tatlong akda na kumatok sa aking puso. Ang mga mensahe ng mga akdang binasa ko ay ang nag-udyok sa akin isulat ang aking sulatin ngayon.

Bakit si Isko? (Opinyon)

  ·         Sa darating na eleksyon maraming mga kanditato na ang nagpapasikat at nagpapakilala upang suyuin at ligawan ang mga boboto sa papalit na national elections sa darating na Mayo 9, 2022. Mayroong sampu (10) na kandidato ang susubok ilaban ang kanilang sarili at ipanalo ang upuan upang maging pangulo ng Pilipinas na kung saan kanila rin mamanahin hindi lamang ang responsibilidad subalit kasama rin dito ang mga problema na mayroon ang ating bansa. Sa aking palagay mula sa dami ng kanditato na susubok para sa pagka-pangulo, para sa akin ang pipiliin kong iboto ay si Domagoso, Isko Moreno o mas kilala bilang si “Isko”. ·         Bago ko banggitin paano si Isko naging maka-pilipinas, bibigyan ko muna kayo ng pahapyaw na dahilan kung bakit ko pipiliin si Isko bilang aking susunod na pangulo. Una, si Isko sa lahat ng kanditato ang pinakakilala ko dahil mula noong siya ay naging Alkalde ng Manila nasubaybayan...

"Ang gurang kong inutil" Why Filipinos must be educated?

  Education is not a luxury it is a right and responsibility. Education and knowledge is what drives forward the innovation and improvement of a society. Through education people improve and through education it learns the mistakes of the pasts that should be prevented and not repeated. The reason why Filipinos are unaware and negligent of the issues of the past is probably because of the bad culture of taking things for granted for the sake of comfort and leisure. The Filipino society is built upon a culture that is influenced by colonizers, the biggest part of it will be the Spanish Empire. The Filipino society in the past was less educated and few can attend schools and access proper education except for elites such as Jose Rizal. Because of this Filipinos in blood through generations have become used to problems and issues and sees it as a normal thing. And it is visible up to the current times, where corruption seems like a normal thing for Filipinos, we become tricked by fals...

The Significance of Diplomacy and International Relations in Establishing Peace and Friendships Among States.

My main topic of interest is International Law and Politics. International Law and Politics, is a discipline that deals with legal affairs and relations beyond the borders of one country.

I fear to see the world change, I fear to witness the mountains crumbling and ...
