Resiliency is not always a good thing

Filipinos are known for being resilient. After calamities hit the Philippines, they still manage to smile. It is very rare to see someone smiling in the middle of the flood to wave to the camera, how hard life is but still smile. I saw how fast they recover on situations like those.

It's been a good thing for the resiliency of Filipinos but I am afraid that they will just pass what happened and stay at it is. According to Shakira Sison, "The problem with our resilience is the speed by which we transform trauma into acceptance. Instead of solving problems, we simply cope or wait for the problem to pass." We are showing that we can't do anything about it. Is it really true? Why not making a goal to overcome it? Be strong enough to gamble in order to make things to the right path. You may fail, you can change strategies but never your goal. Be positive in a way that we think we can do it. Have determination. Problems may pass but if you do nothing, it will always repeat the past - makes it a cycle.

As what I have learned on our ESP subject, to act like a person, after you saw what is the mistake, it is our obligation to fix it. Smiling maybe the solution for hard times, but working is the best. Make things work and don't give up. Just don't accept but also fight and be strong.

Wika para sa Pagkakaisa

Sa panahon ngayon, nahuhumaling na ang mga tao sa makabagong teknolohiya kung kaya’t naging laganap na ang paggamit ng unibersal na wika na nagiging batayan sa mundong ginagalawan. Nakakalimutan na natin tangkilikin ang sariling atin. Kung tutuusin ay hindi pa natin lubos na kilala ang ating wika sa kadahilanang wika ng mga mananakop ang madalas nating gamit ng hindi natin nalalaman. Ngayong Agosto, pinagdiriwang na naman natin ang Buwan ng Wika na ang tema ay “Wikang Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik”. Nangangahulugang ang ating wika ang ating ginagamit para tumuklas ng mga bagay-bagay. Marami ang hindi nagkakaintindihan dahil sa iba’t ibang wika na ating ginagamit tulad na lamang ng Ingles. May mga malalalim na salita sa ating mga nababasa at napapanood ngunit hindi natin lubos nauunawaan. Malaking bahagi ang pakikipagkapwa sa ating mga tao at kapag tayo’y nagbabahagi ng ating nalalaman, minsa’y hindi natin naipahahayag ang gusto nating iparating sa kanila kung kaya’t gamitin ang wika ...

Letter to the President

July 10,2018 The Honorable Rodrigo Duterte President-Republic of the Philippines Malacañang Palace, MANILA Dear Mr. President: Good day! After winning in the last election, you've done many projects for this country. I write to express my concern about K-12 curriculum. 2 years were added for the Senior high school level yet many graduated who don't get job easily. Not all people afford the fees in school that made them stop studying. We spent doing group projects more often than our time with our families. We're afraid to be absent even if we are sick because we might not follow on the discussions in class. Thank you for having time reading my concern. I look forward to your prompt response. Yours sincerely, Henadine Reotutar 10 - Martinelli Ilocos Sur National High School
