Through the Eyes of an EQUAL RIGHTS ACTIVIST

     There are some flaws in this world that we have no place to fix, but when it comes to equality, everyone has a right to speak up for the silent. One of the biggest problems our society is currently facing is the lack of Equality and awareness of it. Why do some people get more rights than others? We are the same -- with different skin tones, different faces, different beliefs, different genders, different bodies, different lives. But what makes us the same is that we build as we destroy and we, are human.

Who said that skin color defines us? Who said that being gay is an insult? Who said that "like a girl" is anything less "like a boy"? Some people continue to make judgments on others. Whether they say it aloud, keep it inside, or show it in their faces. Demean, tear-down, humiliate. Even the tiniest creature on Earth deserves respect. Equality is not similarity. Being equal doesn't mean being identical. It means accept and respect the right to be different. Lasting peace depends on equal rights, equal opportunities. Neither the state nor any person may unfairly discriminate against any person on the ground of disability. A person is just as capable of fulfilling the roles of another person despite their indifference. "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for we are all one in Jesus Christ."



     We are all human beings. Beating hearts, strong bones, a mind of our own. It doesn't matter what our gender is, what our sexuality is, or where we're from. What matters is who we make ourselves. Equality begins with us. To all the people facing the unjust world today, you''ll get through and will finally be able to reach the light.

Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik

  Ang ating wika ang isa sa mga salik na nagbubuklod sa atin. Sa kabila ng pagkakaiba ng ating mga diyalekto, sa paggamit ng iisang wika, nakakapagtalastasan tayo nang mainam sapagkat naiintindihan natin ang ideya at saloobin ng isa't isa. Ngunit paano kung sa pagdaan ng panahon, sa halip na mas mapalago ang paggamit ng sariling nating wika sa pagkatuto at pagbabahagi ay mas pipiliin ng karamihan ang wika ng ibang bansa at ang wikang nakukuha nila sa Social Media? Dito pumapasok ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika ngayong taon, " Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik .” Kumikilala ito sa wikang Filipino bilang midyum sa paglikha at pagpapalaganap ng pambansang karunungan at kaunlaran. Ang wikang Filipino ang sandata sa mas malalim at mas mahusay na talakayan sa pagitan ng mga Pilipino. Ito ang nakagawian nating wika ngunit kadalasan ay gumagamit pa rin tayo ng wikang Ingles sa pagsasaliksik. Tunay ngang naituturo ang wikang ito ngunit mas mapapadali ang pagkatuto kung ang wikang naiinti...

When Life Changes for You

    The value of time is known to those who value the moments each year. Little by little, time slows down as we think about the year that had gone past. Every year that had gone by has become history and a future is yet to come. 2018 already came to an end and although I welcomed this year with a heavy heart within me, I believe that I still have the rest of the year to have the happiness and peace of mind I know I deserve. As they say, New Year beckons us to change. New Year means new hope in life. New Year brings some new strive, but amidst the new things, there is a strange happiness within -- of all the things so special, of all the things as seen. Life changes in a fraction and things turn old. This year, I'm letting go of the things that are old. The old is going so I must let go. I’ll try to be at my toes even when I need to strive. I’ll try to be happy all the while and listen to what my heart speaks as well as what my mind dictates. I’ll walk past my tears ...

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...
