The Real Heroes

 


The second Sunday in the month of May has been marked as Mother's Day to acknowledge the world’s mothers and mother figures for their efforts, sacrifices and influence in their family and in society. Every year, we dedicate this day to our great moms to honor their existence and significance in each of our lives. 

Our mothers do everything for us, from feeding us to teaching us manners. They do everything they can to nurture and support us in every way they can. No other being on Earth can love us as unconditionally as our mothers do. There is no possible way that we can repay them for all their efforts and sacrifices. As a result, we dedicate this day to all mothers, to express our gratitude, appreciation, and love for them by preparing modest gifts, flower bouquets, meals, and even arranging events and vacations. Although showering our moms with presents is a wonderful gesture, nothing compares to tender hugs and kisses.

In normal circumstances, we would be arranging Mother's Day events in restaurants, cafés, bars, or on vacations to show our mothers how much we appreciate and adore them, however, conditions changed this 2021. While we are bound within the walls of our homes, unable to leave, our creativity emerges. Breakfast in bed and candlelit dinners, movie nights and game nights, and so much more have all become new and great methods to celebrate this year’s Mother's Day.

As we ponder upon the notion of Mother's Day in depth, we will realize, as many others have, that every day should be a Mother's Day. Indeed, a single day celebration is insufficient to express gratitude to all the mothers in the world. Therefore, we as children must be more aware to this truth and be appreciative for it at all times.

Every day is Mother’s Day. Let's make sure we tell our mothers how much they mean to us. As children, we must love, care and respect our mothers. We must appreciate them for their selfless efforts and sacrifices.

The Duterte Regime

September 9, 2020 Dear President, As a concerned youth and citizen of the Philippines, I am writing to address the difficulties and struggles that our nation is experiencing due to the current crisis and to apprise and condemn the missteps and errors occurred amid the global pandemic under your jurisdiction.   As the COVID-19 pandemic started to invade our country, we had high hopes that you would be on top of everything and that you would respond to this situation immediately and efficiently, but sadly, you did not. You did not prioritize the current crisis nor the lives of your people. Instead, you prioritized to silence the dissent of your countrymen by implementing the Anti-Terrorism Bill, the shutdown of ABS-CBN that affected the livelihood of 11,000 Filipino families and the white sand project in Manila Bay that claims to help Filipinos’ mental health.  These actions are not necessarily needed in the midst of a pandemic.  We, Filipinos never wanted militarism nor the shutdo

A Step Towards National Resilience

                       Every year, the Philippines face devastating losses caused by natural disasters including catastrophic typhoons, tremendous earthquakes and other hazards coupled with their associated consequences that have massive impacts on the nation's communities, economy, infrastructure and environment. As of the moment, the Philippines, as well as other countries, continue to battle the challenges and struggles brought by the novel Coronavirus.                   The current COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the need for the Philippines to devote more effort to anticipatory governance, notably through well-established and cooperative emergency management and reconstruction and development of future-proof policies and legislation that serves both current needs and longer-term aspirations of Filipino citizens.                The transformation of a country toward sustainability and resilience involves many aspects. It is a complex process that deals with prevention, mitigation

Here's to 2021!

            The world welcomed 2020 with positivity and joy but little did we know it would be a year full of uncertainties and surprises, achievements and failures, and everything else no one asked for. Priorities changed, plans got cancelled. Anxieties and negativities prevailed. Despite all those trying times and hardships that everyone faced, I choose to be grateful. Grateful because we survived 2020 and for that, I want all of us to pat ourselves on the back for getting through these tribulations and adversities.           Now, it’s time to turn the page and leave the past well behind. It’s time to let go of bad energy, negative thoughts and whatever habits that hinders us to flourish and grow. Let us all create a space for everything that we desire. We have a fresh start ahead of us, so be ready to grow, heal and upgrade in every area of our life. Together let us be optimistic about the journey that awaits us this 2021. There is no promise that there will be no struggles but we c
