"Wika Natin Ang Daang Matuwid"

     

          "Char! Charing! Etchos! Modra! Podra! Itech!" These are some words that we, the Filipinos,  usually hear in this modern generation that we don't know where in the universe these words came from. In using these words, do you think that you develop your being as a Filipino?
          Nowadays, in every corner, you will see modern devices that are made by our modern technologies. One of these is the "Computer". In a "Computer", you can entertain your self in different ways, one of which is by using the "Social Medias" brought to us by the "Internet" like the "Twitter", "Facebook", "Instagram" and others more. Because of this, we learn some new languages. Then, we slowly used to it, and soon we will forget our own language, the Filipino Language/ "Wikang Pilipino".
          Our own language is like our shirts, it represents us, being a Filipino,... would you like to borrow Uncle Sam's shirt just to say that you're an American?
          Ang ating sariling wika ay mahalaga sapagkat sinisimbolo nito ang tunay nating pagkatao. Ito ay ang Pagka-PILIPINO.

 " Ang Taong Hindi Marunong Gumamit ng Sariling Wika, ay mas 

Mabaho pa sa Malansang Isda"

-Jose Rizal

Reflection: First Quarter

          I have many lessons gained in this first part of my Fourth year high school life. Even if there are many challenges that I had encountered, I also gained new lessons and discoveries that I can apply for the future.
          One of the lessons that I have learn is to have complete notes, because these past days, I observed that I can catch up fastly to our lessons unlike last year that I always borrow somebody's notebooks to be photocopied when near exams and tests.
          When there are lessons learned, there are also problems encountered. One of these is my memory, because I always forgot things that are to be brought. One night I worked for my project and saved it to my USB, then the next morning, I went to the school without that USB drive. Because of that my project was late. I only passed it the next morning.
          Because of that experience, I will always alarm my cellphone to remind me of something that I will bring or I will do.
         For that, I told my self that it is just OK, because I know that it's better late than never and now is just the First Quarter and there are three more quarters that I know that I can correct what I did wrong.

Removal of "SK" in Every Barangay

          One of the topics of the SONA (State of the Nation Address) of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III or P-Noy was about the "Sangguniang Kabataan".
          Others would like to remove this organization on barangays because others will teach the "kabataan" or the youth to be corrupt. Others say that the meaning of "SK" is "iSkwela ng Korapsyon". Lack of programs, inactive, these are some reasons, I think, that other say that the "SK" corrupt the funds that given to them.
          Hundreds of thousands are given to every "SK" Chairman for their annual fund for their barangays, because of this, many youths are very interested to be the chairman.
          For me, the "SK" should not be removed on every barangay instead, just lessen the funds that are given to them, because they are not experts in handling big amount of money like that. All I want is to have the government implement some seminars/sessions for the youths about how to manage a group or how to act as a leader, and also how to manage money on their hands. I don't want the "SK" to be remove, for the youth can shout out what they want to say and have the youth a representative in the government. And to know what "OK" or what's not for the youth.
