Filipino's Resiliency

Image
As we all know the Philippines is located at the Pacific Ring of Fire and near the West Basin. This is the reason why there are lots of calamities that the Filipino people are experiencing. Typhoons, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis are the most dangerous calamities that are occurring in the Philippines. But despite of these calamities Filipinos still manage to smile, a sweet and genuine smile. In the year 2013, at the month of November, super typhoon Yolanda strikes the City of Tacloban. Many properties were destroyed and many lives were lost. Typhoon Yolanda became a nightmare to the people but the survivors became stronger after this calamity. They still manage to be happy despite of the damages that Yolanda brought to them. Even though darkness is taking over they still find a little ray of sunshine to lighten the sorrounding. And little by little they are now slowly recovering. Just like the post that i've seen on facebook, "Baha ka lang, Pinoy k...

Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik

Image
Ang Wikang Filipino ay kilala bilang pambansang wika ng Pilipinas. Halos lahat ng Pilipino ay ginagamit ang wikang ito sa pakikipagkomunikasyon. Ngunit sa paglipas ng panahon ay umuusbong ang iba't ibang mga salita na hindi angkop sa pakikipagtalastasan. Minsan may mga Pilipino na ring gumagamit ng lenggwahe ng ibang bansa dahil mas may alam pa sila dito kesa sa wikang Filipino. Ngunit hindi naman natin maiiwasan ang paggamit ng ibang lenggwahe lalo na kung mga banyaga ang ating kausap. Kung kaya't dapat nating hikayatin ang ating kapwa Pilipino na pahalagahan ang wikang atin dahil sabi nga ni Rizal, "Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa malansang isda." Sa taong ito, ang tuon ng tema ng Buwan ng Wika ay ang wika ng saliksik. Ang saliksik ay ang  sistematikong pagsusuri o pagsisiyasat ng isang paksa, pangyayari, at iba pa. Mahalaga ang wika ng saliksik dahil ito ang nagiging daan upang makakuha ng mga kaalaman patungkol sa mga bagay ba...

State of the Nation Address (2018)

Image
President Rodrigo Duterte was set to deliver his State of the Nation Address on July 23, 2018 at the Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City, Manila, Philippines. The President's speech didn't present the previous year's achievements instead he focuses on the present and future plans. President Duterte was so aggressive in his war on illegal drugs and corruption that he opened his speech about him being inspired to do the real changes for the greater good of the Filipino people. According to him, the lives of the youth are being wasted and families are destroyed, and all because of illegal drugs.  But the best part of his speech that I want to talk about is the human rights advocate.   He mentioned that the people's concern is human rights while his is human lives.  Human rights for him means giving Filipinos, especially those at the society fringes, a decent and dignified future through the social and physical infrastructures necessary for their lives to be better. ...
