Technology: A Friend to Humanity

     Technology has advanced with years and it has changed the way we purchase products, the way we live, the way we communicate, the way we travel, the way we learn and so many changes have been brought about by these continuous technological advancements. As people's demand and lifestyle change, the demand for advancing the type of technology we use is high.

     "Wavefront: Accentuating Potentials, Activating Technological Advancements" is the theme of this year's National Science Club Month. How does this relate to us? The theme urges everyone of us to use our knowledge, and unleash our potentials so that we can contribute in the development, progress, and advancement of technology. We may not know it, but even our smallest efforts can contribute to our society, and inspire other people to take actions too. Technological advancements have helped business and organizations save time and cost of production, helped in the field of medicine and health care, communication and even in agriculture. From food production, environmental conservation, possible cures for illnesses, etc., to understand how the things around us operate, we must be able to comprehend the science behind it. We all have potentials -- all we need is dedication and zeal.

     "As we design new technology, as we make use of our knowledge about the world and the knowledge that we are gaining about ourselves, about our thinking processes, through research in Al and cognitive simulation, we will realise that we have to apply our technology in a way that keeps man’s peace with the universe in which he lives, instead of conceiving our technology as a weapon with which man can wage war on the rest of nature." - Herbert Simon

Bleed -- Rebuild After

     Life does not always revolve rainbows and unicorns. Sometimes, we bleed too hard to the extent that we are scared to be happy as we think that happiness means falling after. Truth is, we fall and continue to go with the flow of life. To which overcoming natural hazards is connected.      As we all know, natural disasters can't be prevented but its immense effect can be lessened. One way to reduce the impacts of disasters on the nation and its communities is to invest in enhancing resilience. Preparation before, resilience after.  As defined, resilience is the ability to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, and more successfully adapt to adverse events. Adjusting and recovering will take time but the important thing is being able to fully rebuild our homes, as well as our lives.      Despite tragic events that destroyed people's livelihoods, we can still manage to smile because losing something doesn't mean approaching the end of everything. Beneath the cries

The City Never Sleeps

       July 23, 2018, Mr. Rodrigo Roa Duterte delivered his State of the Nation Address. The President's SONA this year was not as long as his previous ones but he was able to point out unfixed issues and campaigns he desires to implement.            I don't hold any grudge against the President but to  convey complaint  on a particular statement from his SONA is not a sin, is it?  " Your concern is human rights, mine is human lives " is unpleasing to the ears. Mr. Duterte is framing our mutual concerns that it seemed to contradict. You can't totally support human lives without supporting human rights. Human rights is the right to life and the right to live. Its point is to protect lives. From the idea I deducted from his statement, it's as if our concerns are different from each other. He claims to be concerned on human lives when in fact, he is the root of death abundance in the the country he leads. Human lives supporter (as he wants to consider himse

We must not sleep on our health for it is one of the factors that structures our other aspects. We could become physically, emotionally, and mentally stable. When you know how to read between the lines, you could easily tell that the "Magtanim" or "planting" which is said on the theme do not include plants that do not contribute nutrients th
