  From traditional to digitalized media where information’s hard to achieve to a digitalized media where information and data are highly accessible in just a single click, surely the world has vastly changed. Mostly nowadays teenagers are focused on online platforms where they can access any website they want with or without the consent of their parents. Yes, these online platforms give a lot of information about almost everything that you’re curious about but the problem is are all the information you read speaks about facts or is merely hearsay. Also because the world has become digitalized lots of people are focusing more on the present issues and present online teas they often forget the past. If not because of their school requirements I bet only a few people would be engaged in research and such. Instead of spending our spare time online lurking and stalking celebrities why don’t we be productive and use our spare time to research the things we don’t know. Just like the inc

  The Philippines is one of the historic countries worldwide, April 9, 1942, is one of the historic dates that have a significant impact on our country which is the Philippines. According to historians, the day of valor was meant to recall the thousands of Filipinos who dedicated their lives to free the country during world war II. This is the day that honors the death of those who sacrifice their lives for our country. We owe the country’s freedom to them so it is just right to have a day to commemorate them right? To my fellow students, let us not acknowledge “Araw ng Kagitingan” as a national holiday (which means no classes) instead let us honor the lives of our fellow Filipinos who give their lives defending our country.

One of their religious practices is shown during the Lenten season wherein Catholics scarifies during this season through abstinence and fasting.                Abstinence is the practice of not eating meat during the Lenten season while fasting is giving up certain luxuries in imitation of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice during his journey into the desert for 40 days. Not only this because lent is also a season of almsgiving which implies that worshippers of God should give those who ask instead of turning their back at them.                Though not every Catholics are strictly following all the dos and don’ts during Lenten season we are not in the place to judge their faith. Moreover Lenten season is not just about abiding the religious practices such as not eating meat and f

  I often wonder what’s the criteria to be an empowered woman. Is an empowered woman need to be rich and successful in life? Is an empowered woman need to have a high-grade educational background? Or is empowered women need too many accomplishments to be called one? Even in present times, discrimination against a woman is still highly recognizable. Gone are the days were women just stayed at home while their husbands work for a living. Gone are the days when women need to be married to fulfill their duty as a woman. Lastly, gone are the days when women cannot even have the freedom to speak for their rights. The prejudices that women have suffered in the past drive them to stand up for their rights while fighting against the odds that one day women will be seen just like how people see men. Empowered women are those who have the will, courage, and bravery to fight for women’s rights in society. Empowered women are those who can influence other people to achieve something good not on
