First of all, let us define about “Utang na
Loob” or in English it is called “Debt of Graditude”. Utang na loob is one of
the Filipino’s values. It is value, which many Filipino has adopted and define
it as part of their everyday lives. The essence of this value is an obligation
to appropriately repay a person who has done one a favor. When a person done
something that is nice or good for you or done any a favor for you, meaning you
will feel gratefulness to that person and your mindset will somehow went like
this that “you want to repay that person that has done well for you”. Moreover,
that action must be nice and good for that person in order to repay him/her as
well. In other situations, if that person wanted something, ask for help, or
ask for a favor you will do it as a repay for them. Can this be hinders our
freedom? Yes. Sometimes this Filipino value can hinder our freedom depending
for that favor or a help of that person or a group of person that owe you one.
For instance, that person asks for a favor because he/she saves your life. And,
now that person asked that if that he/she could asked some money and you felt
hesitated because you know that your money is not enough for your everyday life
spending. Therefore, you lend him/her your money even though you know your
situation and you don’t have any choice but to give that person a money due of
the fact that person save your life. Despite of our situation or even our
present state of your life, we can manage to help or to done something to
others for just that favor or May “Utang na loob” That situation shows it can
limit or can hinder us on our choices we make for the others. We are having
difficulties to refuse or to say no to that person because of shame and
gratitude towards to what did that person done to us good. Our freedom of
saying “yes” and “no” to a person can cause us hesitation on lending our help
to them. Weighing the good and bad, weighing also your position and condition
before lending something to that person, knowing if you are having a capability
of yourself to do that, and knowing the condition and circumstances of that
favor that is asking to you of that person can help use to decide on what they
needed to us. Sometimes, that Filipino value can cause the Filipino to forget
themselves on deciding and their freedom to choose a choice.

PHILIPPINE HISTORY OR A MYSTERY? PRESENTS: My Prediction for the Outcome/Effect of the Resignations of All Cabinet Members of the Duterte’s Administration.
Simple, it's Chaos. If it
happens, it will be chaos. If the some
or all of the cabinet members will resign, it will make the occurrence of the
present to be worst on the future. Why?
First, Duterte will select the people who are concurring to the president’s
vision to the Philippines. The people who are somewhat having the same attitude
or behavior to the president. Who are concurred to the Death Penalty, the
decision of having Bongbong Marcos as being the Vice President of the
Philippines than Leni Robredo, the China and Philippines agreements, and etc.
Example, if the Death Penalty is already passed as a law meaning a nine-year
old child and above can be punished by that pestilential law! I just saw this
news last night about the latest news about the Death Penalty that they are
trying to pass to lowering the age of criminal liability from 18 years old to 9
years old. If they are ratified to be a criminal and to be punish on the law by
death they can be suffered by this: lethal injection, hanging, and a many
bullets from a firing squad. This is the full text from the Facebook page of Superficial
Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines:
“House Bill 1, Section 24, specifies these
three methods for the proposed Death Penalty.
Compounded with House Bill 2, these punishments can be extended to children as
young as 9 years old.
As of press time, President Rodrigo Duterte
has not yet responded to our inquiry on whether executions will be held in
public, with proceeds from tickets for VIP seats to go to the Office of the
President.”
We are a Catholic Country and we must follow
one of the ten commandments of God that is “Thou Shall Not Kill”. Only God can
take the life of any innocent people of this universe. Duterte is not a God, he
is a human. Duterte wants to pass that Death Penalty. Meaning there will be no so called
“Religious Person” in the whole cabinet members of the administration. Second, if Duterte will select only his so
called friends to his cabinet then he will remove not just even the cabinet
members but also to the politicians that against to his vision. If that
happens, there will be no brighter tomorrow from a dark yesterday. I also thought about the impact or the effect
of the resignation of all the cabinet members. I am thinking about a new era of
darker history. The somewhat even in the martial law will happened. Why? There
will be a division of the country. There will be a political war between two
different colors as of the events on the martial law. The opposition will
attack the Malacañang, they will impeach Duterte, they want a snap election,
and they want power, so on and so forth. Because if the person or the cabinet
members who are going to resign and may be they will generate a group that will
get rid of Duterte because of different vision. But not Vice President Leni
Robredo, even though she resigned being one of the cabinet members of Duterte
being the Chairwoman of Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council. She
resigned because somehow the Duterte Administration doesn’t want Leni being
part of the team. And also Leni resign because she will not be effective if the
administration will not make her part to develop the country. See, looking at
the counter side somewhat the Administration now having somewhat putting colors
so that the opposition side will not be part of their team. One of the
evidences is that during one of the speech of Duterte that if the Supreme Court
approved the petition of Bongbong Marcos on the Vice Presidency election
complain he might by the Vice President. For him it is just a joke but from
Leni and her fellow supporters and Bicolano isn’t. The administration will fall
down the Philippines. As we all know, a dollar is equivalent now somewhat near
at the 50 pesos value. My goodness, our economic will fall. There will be no
intelligent person in the cabinet. There will be no brighter future if the
darker part of yesterday will occur in the innocent day of the present. It is
just my opinion in this topic. Thank You. :)

A PERSON OF THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE: Ferdinand Edralin Marcos
Sunday, November 20, 2016
A QUESTION OF QUEST PRESENTS: : If You Were Given A Chance To Invent Something, What Would It Be And Why?
If You Were Given A Chance To Invent Something, What Would It Be And Why?
If I were given I chance to invent something is a device
called “Magic Food”. A magic food that is a plain round thing that is only needs
water. Why? So many children will won’t be hungry, suffering, and working or
child laboring. Many children are malnourish. So many children mainly in Africa
and some countries in Asia that will eat three times a day, eat food that they
never been eaten, and eat nutritious foods. Africa is the world's
second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. Africa is the
world's poorest inhabited continent. They need food. So I think about the Magic
Food. This week, our UCSP teacher Sir
Randy Bacares shared to us about the video entitled “Chicken Ala Carte” which
shown about poverty and their theme is about “pagpag” food or recycled food. Meaning, it is a leftover from
restaurants, fast food chain, or other food established. They get it from
trashes and make it as a food.

DON'T EDIT MY EDITORIAL PRESENTS: If you were Give a Chance To Talk To Pres. Duterte, What Are You Going to tell him?
If you were Give a Chance To Talk To Pres. Duterte, What Are You Going to tell him?
Rodrigo Road Duterte is our 16th president of the Philippines and our
current president. Having a conversation to a president is one of the most
unforgettable experiences of a life of a person. If I’m given an opportunity I
will grab it. This is the one of the best opportunity that would be happen into
my life. He is the president that has many “first”. He is the first Mindanaoan
to given a position in the government as being the president. Fist president
from Davao. First thing first, I will “mano” or bless-act Filipino respect. Not
just being as the president of the Philippines to give him a proper manner such
as saying “po” and “opo” because he is older than me. I want to discuss our personal lives. I know
that our president is came from a family who are had an experience about
governance. For me, we will have a conversation first about our personal life.
What is our favorites, our family, and our something secrets. The president
young experiences or rather unforgettable memories when he was a child.
Something is so called, getting to know each other. I will start it first but
if we don’t have a luxury of time, I can skip it rather. To talk to a president
we must first get to know each. I will ask his about his family and friends.
May be his personal life such as his love life, how many girlfriends that he
had and something like that. After asking and having moments about his personal
life. I will ask about his political life. “Why did he want to be a
politician?” I want to ask that question. If it is something to do about the
personal interest? To follow his father first step on governing, or he wants
something.
As we all know our president, Rodrigo Roa Duterte is something that
we called unique from other 15 president of the Philippines. He is somewhat
“rude” that we think about this fight about illegal drugs. That is the question
that I want to be answer from him. Second, I will ask him about “Why did we
want to fight illegal drugs as his primary goal in the Philippines?” As we all
know that illegal drugs are always there since there from the
post-colonialization history of the Philippines. From the presidents of the
Philippines in the past the fight of illegal drugs are somewhat is not there
primary goal in the society but the economic status. According to the update world money
conversion website ex.com, one dollar is equal to Php 48.2993 as of 1:05 pm,
Oct 9, 2016.
If the value of dollar is increasing meaning the economic status
of the Philippines is decreasing and if the value of peso is increasing the
country’s economic status is increasing. In the year of Ferdinand Marcos, the value
of dollar is only 2 pesos. See that, in the Marcos administration is very good
in terms of managing the economic status of the Philippines. So I am quite not
agreed on Ma’am Andes on his madness on Marcos. According to our government
website gov.ph, “In 2012, the Philippines recorded one of its strongest years
for growth, surpassing all expectations; the first quarter GDP of 2013,
recorded at 7.8%, further raised the bar among the community of nations and
exceeding even our growth trend. “ Meaning the former Aquino’s administration
is good in terms of economic status of the Philippines than the present
administration of the Philippines. To cut the story short, why our president
does wants to terminate first the drugs as his primary goal in the society if
the Philippines are now going down in terms of economic growth. If our economic
growth is on down grade most of the Filipinos will suffer the rage of poverty.
On my school days, I am glad that I have some money to take a snack but some of
my classmate doesn’t have enough money to buy a snack or even to play the
school bills or projects.
According to
the manilatimes.net, “For an import-dependent country like the Philippines, it
is difficult to overstate the impact of currency exchange rates. There is almost
no part of the economy that is not affected by them in some way, particularly
because of the country’s import profile; the Philippines imports virtually all
of its fuel, most of its transportation equipment, and a very large proportion
of the raw materials and intermediate goods needed for manufacturing.” The
impact of exchange money rates is highly affected the Economic growth. I will
asked the third question, one of the most struggles that Filipinos suffered
mainly in the region of NCR or the National Capital Region, is suffering the
heavy traffic. As we all know heavy traffic is one of the struggles of the
Filipinos that are now suffering since the former administration of Noynoy Aquino.
According to the Phil star website an online newspaper website, “Sa pag-aaral
ng isang Japanese agency, P2.4 billion ang nasasayang araw-araw dahil sa
matinding trapik sa Metro Manila.” Meaning Php. 2.4 billion pesos is being
wasted because of traffic. I want to ask our president about this situation
because that number is not joke for everybody.
In Naga City, we are also complaining about the installation of the
traffic lights. But if we are going to solve the traffic it may save lives and
money. The 2.4 billion everyday can feed almost one city, millions of family,
and millions of Filipinos. If he can solve the traffic, may be the change is
coming. The fourth question that I will ask to our president, “Why do you want
to kill people to just to aim your goal about criminals?”
As we all know we are
one of the countries of the world that believes on God or Christianity. One the
ten commandments of God, it is the fifth one “Thou shall not kill” We must not
kill anyone. Only God will take-off everyone’s life not us. Why do you want to
kill? Giving a person a punishment is not in terms of kill. Kill the drugs not
the people. Killing is not the key for aiming on terminating drugs in the
country. there are many allegations in our president one of the most about he
is the mastermind in the DDS or the “Davao Death Squad” It kill criminals and
sometimes even people is not actually do that such thing. There is witness that
is telling he is one of the former members of the Davao Death Squad. He is
Edgar Matobato, that he is telling that the president is that mastermind of the
extra-Judicial killing happens in the terms of Pre. Duterte as the mayor of the
Davao City. In the speech of our former president Ninoy Aquino, he wants to end
the violations on human’s rights. But that dream will be only a dream for me.
In the new administration, killing is one of those things. Many drug pushers
had been killed that is against the law. Covering their dead body with the use
of packaging tapes, torturing them, and many more. The extrajudicial killing won’t win the war
against the illegal drugs. It is just making things worst. The anti-drug war
was the campaign promise that propelled the popular, tough-talking Davao City
mayor to the presidency. But human rights activists have expressed alarm over
the rising body count, pointing out that many of those killed were only
unidentified suspects. This is alarming. This is I want to talked about to our
president. “Aanihin mo pa ang lider na
matapang at matalino, kung hindi naman matino.” I would say we need leader that
has moral capability to lead the people behind him with respect model. Our
president is the representation of our country.

AN EASY ESSAY PRESENTS: Human or Person? Are they Different?
Human or Person? Are they Different?
All persons are humans, all humans are also
persons. A difficult line that I made and so meaningful. Me, as a student I
remembered that I also confused about the difference of each two. But when I
reached Junior High School I learned the more about the two words. Human is somehow is related to science I
think. Based on my research on Internet on Online Etymology Dictionary website, that the word “human” came from the scientific
name of it, “Homo” a Latin word means being or mankind. For me it is somehow
indicates the entire body like arms, bones, organs etc. Based on my book research "The Social
Construction of the Human Spirit" stated that Humans are not just made of
human flesh but it has so called Human Spirit. On the other hand, the word
“person” for me, person has so called dignity on it as my Values Education
teacher said. Person is more of emotional and spiritual way. According to
bible, we have souls. Therefore, it may be part of our person. As human it
needs physiological needs or its basic needs such as water, shelter, food etc.
But in person it need Psychological need such as Esteem Needs, love, etc. and
so called Sell-Fulfillment that achieve one’s full potential as shown on
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need as my teacher last grade 10 on Economics. Humans
develop its physical body changes, health, and age. But in person, can have
self-development, maintain and build relationship so called as that. I conclude
that the word humans and persons aren’t similar. But it has also its
differences. It may be quite the same but it just different in quite manner.

THE UNVERY EASY ESSAY PRESENTS: Filipino, Ang Wika ng Karunungan
FILIPINO, ANG WIKA NG KARUNUNGAN
Ano ba ang wika? Ano ba ang
karunungan? Totoo ba na ang wikang Filipino ay ang wika ng karunugan?
Tatalakayin na muna natin ang mga bawat salita sa king pamagat, Isa mga tanong
na dapat natin gamit ang mga nakuha kong mga impormasyon o datus sa aking
pananaliksik. Bigyan na muna natin ng pansin kung bakit ang tema ngayon ay
“Filipino: Wika ng Karunugnan” at kailangan muna natin bigyan ng mga kahulugan
ang mga salita sa pamagat o tema sa gayundin para malaman natin kung anu ang
kahulugan ng tema.
Kada buwan ng Agosto ng bawat taong-akademiko katulad ng mga
paaralan pati rin ang mga ibang ahensya ng pamahalaan ay ipinagdiriwan ang “Buwan
ng Wika” ay isa sa mga pinaka-aabangang kaganapan sa lahat ng mga paaralan,
mapa-elementarya, sekondarya, at maging sa kolehiyo. Ito ay tinatag ng dating
pangulo na si Fidel V. Ramos base sa Kautusan Blg. 1014 na ang Agosto ay Buwan
ng Wika dahil ito ang buwan na kung saan namatay ang Ama ng Wika na si Manuel
Louis Molina Quezon sa Ika-1 ng Agosto taong 1944 ang kanyang kamatayan.
Ayon sa Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino (KWF), ang tema ng pagdiriwang
ngayong taon ay “Filipino: Wika
ng Pambansang Kaunlaran.” Gaya ng nabanggit na dati, ipinagdiriwang ng mga
paaralan sa buong bansa ng Pilipinas ang Buwan ng Wika sa pamamagitan ng iba’t
ibang gawain gaya ng sabayang pagbigkas, dula-dulaan, sayaw-awit o sayawit,
pagsulat ng sanaysay, at iba pa. Na kung saan binigbigyan ng pagkakataon ang
mga mag-aaral na pagyabungin ang wikang Filipino.
Simula natin sa wika. Ayon sa Wikipedia, “Ang wika ay isang
bahagi ng pakikipagtalastasan. Kalipunan ito ng mga simbolo, tunog, at mga
kaugnay na batas upang maipahayag ang nais sabihin ng kaisipan. “Ayon kay Dr. Arnel Reñon, isang guro
sa assignaturang Filipino. “Mayroong apat-na-daan na mga wika sa Pilipinas. “Ito
ang nagbibigkis sa mga tao para magka-isa at magkasundo-sundo. ito ang
nagsisilbing nagbubuklod ng mga tao para maging isang lipunan. Sunod naman ang
salitang karunungan. Merong dalawang magkaibang kahulugan ang salitang
katarunugan. Ayon sa Current Events Digest Inc for Grade 7 Edition isang aklat sa Filipino sa ika-pitong
baitang, Sunod naman na salita ay “Karunungan”, Ayon sa WikiFilipino, isang website.
“Ang karunungan o dunong, sa larangan ng pananampalataya, ay ang
pagkaunawang nanggaling sa Diyos. Isa itong marunong o matalinong pag-iisip o
kaisipan; o ang pang-unawa sa tama at mali, at pagkakaroon ng matinong
pag-iisip o pinag-aralan. May kaugnayan ito sa sentido
kumon, talino, erudisyon, attining ng pag-iisip.” ibig sabihin ito ay
isang pagiging matalino o wise sa
Ingles. Ito ay ang pagkakaroon ng karanasan, kaalaman, at matalinong
paghuhusga. Nalaman na natin kung ano ang kahulugan ng mga salita sa ating
pamagat.
Ang
kahulugan ng tema ay ang wika ay ang karunungan. Ito ang nagbibigay ng talino
sa mga taong marunong gumamit ng wika niya. Ang wikang Filipino ay ang ugat ng
ating karunungan at ito rin ay ang saligan, pundasyon, o batayan ay base sa
ating wika. Ang wikang Filipino ay ang pundasyon ng karunungan ng bawat
Pilipino. Ang pagtangkilik sa sariling wika, ang bunga ay matalino at maunlad
na bansa. Ang karunungan ay ang sumisimbolo ng karunungan ibig sabihin kung
matalino ka at madiskarte ang mga Pilipino at alam ang tama at mali ibig
sabihin magiging maganda ang samahan ng mga bawat Pilipino sa isang lipunan.
Mas magiging madiskarte sa buhay, palaging gumamit ng wikang Filipino na
nagbibigkis sa mga bawat idibidwal tungo sa magandang institution ng bansa. Ito
ang susi sa pagpapaunlad ng kulturang Pilipino.
Ang pagkatututo ng mga wika ay nagkakaroon ng talino sapagkat ang wika
ay nagpapakita ng kultura, tradisyon, at mga kaisipan. Halimbawa kapag
nag-aaral ka ng wikang Filipino makikilala mo ang mga kultura ng
Pilipinas. Ayon sa isang wikang pilosopo
an si Ludwig Wittgenstein “Die
Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt.” sa Ingles ay “The
limits of my language are the limits of my world.” Ang ibig sabihin nito para sa
akin ang isang solusyon para mas mahigit pa sa limitasyon ng isang wika ay ang
pagkatututo o ang pag-aaral ng isa pang wika at ito ay ang wikang Filipino.
Hindi lamang ang mga wika ng ating sinilangan katulad ng Waray, Bikol, o
Sebwanong ika kundi ang ating pambansang wikang Filipino. Ang pagkatuto ng isa
pang wika ay nagkakaroon tayo ng kaalaman sa iba pang wika hindi lamang sa mga
salita nito o ibig sabihin nito kundi ang mga napaplibot ng wika, ang kultura,
tradisyon, at kaugalian ng mga taong sinilingan nito. Ang pagkatuto ng isa pang
wika ay magbibigay sa atin ng bagong kalinawan ng buhay.
Ang aking konklusyon sa aking sanaysay. Filipino ay ang wika
ng karunungan. Ang wika ay ang ugat o pinagmulan ng karunungan. Mas magiging
matalino tayo at makakakuha ng mga kaalaman habang natututo tayo ng wikang
Filipino. Hindi lamang ang wikang kinabihasan natin kundi ang ating wikang
pambansa ang Wikang Filipino. Ang
pag-aral ng wikang Filipino ay nagkakaroon tayo ng background ang wikang iyon. Nakakakuha tayo ng kaalaman tungkol sa
kultura ng ating bansa.
