FOCAL POINT

By Vincent Hamn S. Oczon, BSCE 5

High-tech communication Amazed? Everyone can tell it.

Even the most dangerous man in the world absolutely agrees and somehow the one writing this.

We are now consciously going social, I mean, almost all have been a victim of this. A modern age; a new generation of communication and maybe a total makeover from old to new.

I know that people are not a stranger to these social-media anymore. Knock that coconut-shell of yours if you’re still naive Actually, it is absurd if you don’t know Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, MySpace, Instagram and anything that would cast your interest.

These portals to communication make every conversation easier.

But have you seen what most completes you?

Others do, but I haven’t.

Indeed, we are famed greatly of this links Post, Share so that others would like it on Facebook or Instagram.

But are you satisfied? Have you not observed that your time is diluting? Our traditional way of communication is fast depriving. We might be in a world of high-tech communication but we are living it with confusion. You know others through text or internet but do you even care if what kind of people they are? Yes, you don’t.

The life that we used to live-in, as humans, we tend to lose our well-being every time we go outside holding our cell phones, our tablets. We don’t see the chances we’ve missed that even approaching someone is not being realized. If you understand how important time is, then don’t waste it as if there’s no more tomorrows.

Imagine a world full of dumbness created by technology. Do you even care that you might lose someone who is actually your destined to? No, you don’t.

Undoubtedly, you will be confused because you feel you’re all alone. You are talking to your devices as if you’re a robot. You know everyone but actually not. You seem to be intellectually happy but not emotionally. You are hiding in the creations of technology and you never notice you are losing your family. You are losing yourself because of these social media we began to unlock. As we continue our journey to this dilution, never forget that you only live once not twice.

I know the value of this technology but remember to co-exist. Don’t let a friend turn to robot; or a nerd turns to be idiot.

Don’t hesitate to recognize someone along the way or talk to a person sitting beside you. A lot of chances are wasted – you are blind if you can’t see it.

So don’t waste your time!

REALITY BITES

By Janz M. Sampaton, BS Info. Tech. 1B

Principles regarding Homosexuality affect Humanism Homosexuality is defined as having an opposite sexual preference than what a person has that results to an improper orientation on how he or she should act in front of other people. Having said this, one perennial question is always asked: Why does this happen? The biggest factor associated to homosexuality is the environment. An environment surrounded with bisexuals could possibly make you a bisexual as well. A group of peers pushing you to be something you are not could possibly make you think the opposite way you should. It may be a funny thing but indeed it happens. With this, another question may be raised: Is homosexuality a contagious disease? Certainly it is not.

The gay personality of these people is the one which is contagious, making others act the same way as they do, then others may perceive they prefer the same sexuality but they do not. Then we may ask again: If the ideas presented are true, why do other people antagonize them from being who they are?

In life, we have three visionaries. First is being subjective in decision-making. We take one side of the story, defending it, without even taking a full view of the whole thing. Second is seeing things in a Christian perspective; homosexuality may be a misdemeanor at law but a capital felony in the eyes of the Christian populace. People who have principles take things exorbitantly in accordance to the Christian religion to the point that they are going beyond the bounds of healthy criticism. Third is being objective, taking a

panoramic view of everything they do, and giving sound judgments fairly.

Unfortunately, people of this country tend to think subjectively about this whole issue.

“It is inhuman to kill a mockingbird, which did nothing but sing joyful songs for us to enjoy.” This is a line from Harper Lee’s famous novel entitled “ To Kill a Mockingbird,” which is a mere predilection of saying that it is unjust o jeopardize a person’s dignity if he or she had done only good things to you, or did not harm you at any way at least. If you would observe keenly, the evolution of character that could be seen among the members of the LGBT’S (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, and Transgender) is fast arising.

Homosexuals of today are not the typical ones that could be seen in beauty parlors, pageants, or roaming around back and forth to the streets either. Bisexuals of today are professionals, who even have a degree in their chosen career paths. But one question is still left unanswered: “Why do you think homosexuals are still widely discriminated?”

This is the question which boils down to one conclusion. The main reason why they are widely discriminated is because Filipinos are HYPOCRITES. We are hypocrites in the sense that we malign them by saying;” These homosexuals are amoral. These bisexuals are the stains of this society!” when in fact it is we, the ones who malign and belittle them, are the stains of this society.

Why? Simply

JUN-OCT 2014 The noted Pearl of the Orient Seas Philippines is now carrying on her shoulders the burden of 100 million bodies!

It was on the dawn of July 27, 2014, a symbolic baby girl was born in Dr. Jose Fabella Hospital in Manila and set history by having hailed as the 100 millionth Filipino in our country.

With this apparent reality, comes the new wave of challenges to gauge how our government has been doing and how ready are the recognized solons in the executive body to combat the problems confronting their administration. As each day unfolds, the burden being laid to our government gradually results to a height of both societal and economic misfortunes.

The issue on the rapid population increase in our country brings about serious concerns that demand immediate attention of the concerned individuals so not to get worse. Take this for instance; as population growth takes flight, the allocation of government services becomes smaller bits and pieces not to mention its degrading quality.

This constraint redounds in the area of education, health and others which are deemed very necessary for the well-being of every Filipino. Relative to this, the series of innovation that our government advocates are hindered and sometimes, just gone with the wind.

Furthermore, referring to the global ranking, Philippines is ranked 71st in terms of land area and yet, it is the twelfth most populous country. The verity of these things creates an image of imbalance which may cause the stemming of other grave hurdles for our national government. More and more Filipinos are tucked in the abyss of poverty, underemployment seamlessly takes its toll and observably, the incidence of crimes is getting higher in frequency.

Philippines at 100 Million: A Grace or a Burden?

JUN-OCT 2014 Try as they may, the present administration officials are putting out possible solutions to address the problems attributable to the seemingly unrestrained soar in population. There is the existence of RH Law that promotes the use of contraception and aims to at least alleviate population-related issues. In addition, the Department of Health (DOH) is at their earnest efforts in educating the Filipino families about family planning with a clear vision similar to that of the RH Law. Nonetheless, population growth is not actually the serious problem in our sovereign state. We should know that it is one of the laws of nature and once a natural law, no one has the power over it. Neither RH Law nor family planning can answer this puzzle. On top of this, we are all part of the picture that this problem creates. Therefore, we should also be part of the problem-solving process instead of just letting our government do the thing.

Why question the fact that there are 100 million Filipinos in our country? If we are doing this, we are also trying to question our existence because practically, we are one of these 100 million.

Since we comprise one national community, it is but suitable to set ourselves as modern social catalyst.

We can educate our fellow and change lives for a better end. We can be figurative flock of nightingales which glide in unison; getting hold of our country’s banner while singing the Philippine National Anthem.

After all, the decision lies in our hands.

Considering that we are one of the 100 million residents of the Philippines, ours is the will whether to be our country’s burden or a grace that radiates optimism.

NOTABLE SYMMETRY

By Julie Ann Joy R. Jarquio, BSEd 1A

An overview of humanity Confucians believed that, “the way to human being is to be humane.”

In that statement I know that you all know that there is a difference between a human and a humane.

The word human is just the physical structure and appearance while as a humane is the word that tells you; “as a human you should act like one”, it means that as a humane human being you should have the attitude toward caring, loving and respect for the worth of others.

Human is the most important factor to perform a humane way of living. A humane way of living cannot be done without a human.

A humane person knows how to understand and analyze deeply the situations. Like if there’s someone in need of her or his help he or she would do something that they can to help that someone in need without a word. Humans do the actions because they have the ability to move. But being human is not all about helping someone but it is in the sincerity and willingness to help others.

Here’s a situational example: If your classmate is having a difficulty in your math subject and she ask for your help to teach her and you immediately say “yes,” that’s human; if you said “yes” and you did your best to teach her, that’s humane.

See the difference?

A human would actually say a word because human can talk. But a humane human uses her ability to talk to sincerely help others.

Nowadays, it is difficult to find a humane way of living particularly now that there are lots of crimes spreading around the globe, big and smaller ones. Crimes only happen because of selfishness and greediness. If we learn to be humane, crimes will lesser.

Lastly, being humane is described on how you look for other’s purpose, on how you respect others opinion and quality.

So now how do you describe yourself?

By Wilfred G. Briones, BSIT 1C

Define me, I’m human Who am I?

These questions have never ceased in popping in everyone’s thoughts once in a while. Why with man’s vast knowledge and arsenal of modern technology do these questions still remain unanswered? Is it our never ending debate with one another the reason? Or are the stories and teachings of the world’s religions are not enough to ease our curiosity?

Let’s say that you encounter a being not of this world, unfamiliar but intelligent enough to ask what “you” are, like in one of those fascinating extra-terrestrial movies.

You would respond by saying that you are human. But what is a human? What defines us to be a Human? Is it our so called ability to produce and appreciate?

Is it the greed that pushes us to do more?

It seems that we only have more questions than answers.

Maybe because humanity is indeed a very complex race that anyone can add their own opinion on what tells us apart from the rest? The way we walk may define us as humans, the way we eat, and even the way we socialize or talk, maybe the way we look?

Having two hands?

Being bipedal? Having a pair of eyes and ears both parallel to one another? I believe not, because if that’s the case then we might as well call our ape cousins ‘humans’ as well.

According to E.M. Foster the 4 characteristics of humans are curiosity, a

good free mind, belief in good taste, and belief in one’s race. He also basically thought that humans are superior over all animal races because of these said characteristics. We even call acts that are against our norm as “Inhumane” such as acts of ruthlessness towards others or acts that we find hard for a normal human being to commit. So by acting inhumanly do we not include ourselves as a human? If we believe in that ideology then some animals today could be even more human than other humans themselves, more humane than those who commit heinous crimes and are punished.

Can we still consider law abiding citizens, convicts, or prison inmates as humans because of their crimes? I guess not.

So all in all we can rule out that being a human is more than just mere acts, its more than just appearance, its more than just blood that defines us. It’s up to every individual to figure that out, it’s up to everyone to learn a little about themselves so that they can one day answer the question. What defines you as a Human?

We would like to hear from you. Send us your story and feature suggestions through our Facebook and Twitter Portals.

THE MORALIST’S VIEW

By Jolly E. Lauriano, BSEd 4A

Being humane: A missing link?

More to President Aquino’s emotional State of the Nation Address (SONA), the adverse influence of Miley Cyrus’ notorious image and the seemingly endless soar in mortality due to the civil war between Israel and Palestine, we, as humans still have many things to bother about which may leave us tossing and turning in our beds and may deprive us of taking a glimpse on the vast canopy of stars in the still evening. Here are some: Don’t smoke except me…

Our beloved President signed R.A 10351 or otherwise known as Sin Tax Reform of 2012. This act aims to protect the people, especially the young and the poor, from the ill effects of smoking and excessive drinking by increasing the excise tax of alcohol and tobacco. He has this rigid belief that through this, the toll brought by smoking and excessive drinking will be at least minimized if not totally be rubbed out. He also holds that, we, Filipinos are the country’s priceless gems so we should be taken care of. In a very ironic sense, he’s been a smoker and still a smoker.

How can he convince the Filipinos to refrain from smoking if at first, he can’t keep himself off from puffing sticks of cigarette? He’s clearly going against the stream of his advocacy. How about his honorable signature on the said Republic Act? Sadly, he’s trying to have it put to naught.

If our President will put an end to his cigarette addiction, it can somehow convince the Filipinos to look at him as a

highly dignified solon and as a man who truly walks his talk. And who knows, it might help elevate the trust and approval rating that he can garner from a number of social surveys like that of a Pulse Asia.

A blemish on your face is much of my pleasure…

Does it sound ridiculous or insulting? This is pertaining to those who have the quality of a villain. Although they’re not that literally brutal, they have this thirst of seeing their fellow suffering a serious epic fail. They take flight to a height of ecstasy everytime they get aware of your imperfections. They even devote much of their time gossiping about your terribly dark underarm, you’re low-priced jeans and even your private stuffs. Much to our ignorance, they really make fun out of it.

We often laugh at others’ flaws and weak points not knowing that we may have our own deficiencies too which are even worse than theirs. In this case, before opting to judge and conclude, we must acquaint ourselves about the obvious difference between constructive and destructive criticisms.

I am correct so don’t get me wrong…

Back to our country’s present political concern, the Supreme Court declared President Aquino’s Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP Fund) as unconstitutional. In other words, DAP Fund is deemed to be an evident violation

SEE PAGE 17|Missing Link

JUN-OCT 2014 of our country’s constitution which is considered as the fundamental law of the land.

To counter the stand of the Supreme Court, one ally of our president in the congress proposed a bill requesting the Judiciary Development Fund (JDF) to be closely monitored by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM). This issue creates an atmosphere of filthy competition for power and pride. It only shows that the Executive and Judiciary branches of our government are not putting out sensible efforts to maintain the spirit of unity. How can they be of service for us Filipinos if they’re not in the mood to be in good terms? They should remember that good governance is all about not the race for supremacy but a race for humanitarian advancements. After all the negotiations, our President remains firm in his belief that his DAP Fund is very legal with the support of his allies while the Supreme Court stays unrestrained with their stand. If this is always the situation, an ill-fate will surely befall in our country and to us Filipinos. We will be left behind like a child being abandoned by a mother while they’re so busy playing the “game of throne.”

Instead of getting themselves overwhelmed by Narcissus complex, why not just settle the dispute among them? It would be such an illogical excuse to still mind their pride in the midst of a serious political issue. Being egotistical will bring nothing but a total fiasco. If there is harmony between the Executive and Judiciary branches of our government, surely, our country can finely take a big leap towards true progress.

Correct me if I’m wrong…

There’s more in us than the bad things being tackled above.

Not all is too hooked with the inhuman deviations. This speaks for those who possess genuinely humane quality. Many of us are still infected by Anne Frank’s quotable quote, “No one has ever become poor

by giving.” We are inclined to harbor true concern for our fellow. Helping for us is a noble act which reflects godliness. One solid proof for this assumption is the spirit of sharing that we portray everytime there’s a disaster in our country. Furthermore, many of us still believe that a man who hates correction is stupid. When we commit a wrong thing, we strive hard to have it corrected. We have the ears to listen to others’ advices, corrections and even scolds.

Besides all the chaos in the context of humanity, many are still passionate witnesses that the “humane” side of humans is not hidden, missing or gone to oblivion.

What’s in your mind?

because we keep guarding these peoples move instead of making our own lives more productive and be useful citizens of this country. Let us take out hypocrisy. Let us face the reality that is pounded flat on our faces. We, with our subjective judgments, are burdens to a progressive society.

At this juncture, I challenge you to look deep inside your core and ask this question: Do I make my decisions wisely for the betterment of everyone or am I just one of the many burdens that negate this country to progress?

others through proper speech and conduct including proper posture. It taught me on becoming a transformational leader by action which the people around you can emulate.”, Geronimo asserted in an interview.

The said camp was attended by more than a hundred of student leaders and campus advisers from different high schools, colleges and universities in the country.
