"Marcos' Burial: Deserving or not?"

          The late President Ferdinand Marcod is the reason why the Philippines got stronger after the Martial Law Era. I know that Marcos is too mainstream to us. There are so many reasons why he is famous worldwide. One of this is the Martisl Law. He declared it last september 21, 1976. Marcos is the longest President in our country and because of that, many Filipinos suffered during his term. Many Filipinos died and some women got molested. Marcos is a very strict President. He declared curfews in all places. We can't blame Marcos about his leadership. But admit it or not, Marcos has a very huge contribution in our country.

        Some people say that the late President Marcos doesn't deserve to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. Because he is not a hero to Filipinos who suffered during the Martial Law Era. Some of them cursed Marcos because of what happened. There are tons of people who died because of him. But how about you? Do you consider Marcos as a hero or not? 

       I strongly believe that it is okay to bury him at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. Because as they have said he was a soldier and a President at the same time. In my own opinion, this could be done immediately. I mean, forget the past that made them hurt and just thank Marcos because of what he had done to us (the great things) We all know that he did great things in our country and not only bad things. If I were to decide, I will agree that Marcos' corpse be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. But skme people are really against about the burial. They protest, and even innocent students joined. But I can't blame anyone who are against Marcos because they are the one who had experienced how bad Marcos was. They have learned already that forgiving isn't easy at all because of the people who died during his term. I find it reasonable to hide the burial of Marcos because some Filipino people are against about it. They are arguing that Marcos is not a Hero at all.. The Libingan ng mga Bayani is for heroes only and not for the people who made crime and didn't give worth in every life of Filipino's.

     That's why the issue is not yet done. Maybe they can't forgive but un time, they will accept the fact because it's in the past already. We can't give him a punishment because he is died already. That's why learn to forgive everything that happened.

                          

       "HOW TO FIND MYSELF"

         BY: MARY ANGEL VILLA-REAL

    

                 Have you ever thought of who you are or what you stand for? 

I'm not talking about your roles or social identities. You can be a friend, sister and a partner all the same time. They don't represent who you fundamentally are inside.

                 Everyone is unique. Your real self can't be boxed in by any single identity or label. You can't really tell who you are because we're all made with uniqueness. All you can do is know the importance of yourself than knowing other's identity.

       

                 In our life, there is a failure and it is inevitable "WE MUST ACCEPT FINITE DISAPPOINTMENT, BUT NEVER LOSE FINITE HOPE." as said by MARTIN LUTHER KING. Because once you gave up on something, It means you are quitting to know yourself more. Life has full of challenges, every challenge will teach you a lesson.

                Why do we need to find yourself? Because there are such things that we can rely on and we can fix by ourselves. Fixing ourselves is the best thing, I have encountered fixing myself and it helped me grow more and I realized what is my worth in this world. The day that I am literally broken, there is one true friend who helped me up and explained how life is worth the living.                                    

       You just need to hold on and be strong. Think that everything has a purpose. You need to conquer all of you problems to be able to find yourself. Last but not the least, You need to love yourself deeper.

               Sometimes, you just need to realize your mistakes not just you are weak but as they have said those mistakes will inspire you to do what's really best. You must accept why you are suffering and why you encountered those challenges. Remember: "EVERY SETBACK HAS A MAJOR COMEBACK" You just need to love yourself deeper and live you life to the fullest.

MY TOP 3 FAVORITE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS

She's No. 1 for me merely because she can play as middle hitter/quicker, open spiker, back row attacker, she has improved her defense at the back line. What else can you ask for if she's on your team? She just needs to be more aggressive on her attacks like any other players here.

Best volleyball player I've ever seen in the women's league.

Dindin you are no. 1 cause you are the star in volleyball in the Philippines not others

Monster Quicker!

MY PRESIDENT

RODRIGO DUTERTE

This is my number 1 president of all time. Because He is very responsible and a loving one. He really deserved the President's position, Why? because he can make people be responsible too. By the way, he lives at Davao where he is the one who made Davao to be beautiful enough to have tons of tourists.Duterte studied political science at the Lyceum of the Philippines University, graduating in 1968, before obtaining a law degree from San Beda College of Law in 1972. He then worked as a lawyer and was a prosecutor for Davao City, a highly urbanized city on Mindanao island, before becoming vice mayor and subsequently, mayor of the city, in wake of the Philippine Revolution of 1986. Duterte was among the longest-serving mayors in the Philippines, serving seven terms and totaling more than 22 years in office.Duterte's political success has been aided by his vocal support for the extrajudicial killing of drug users and criminals. Human rights groups have documented over 1,400 killings allegedly by vigilante groups occurring in Davao between 1998 and May 2016; the victims were mainly drug users, petty criminals and street children. Duterte denied any involvement in the said vigilante groups. In a January 2016 decision by the Office of the Ombudsman on the investigation conducted by the Commission on Human Rights on the alleged death squad in Davao between 2005 and 2009, the Ombudsman found no evidence to support "the killings attributed or attributable to the Davao Death Squad, much less the involvement of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte" to said acts.On May 9, 2016, Duterte won the Philippine presidential election, garnering 16,601,997 votes (39.01% of total votes cast, and 6.6 million votes ahead of closest rival Mar Roxas). His domestic policy has focused on combating illegal drug trade by initiating the Philippine Drug War. Following criticism from United Nations human rights experts that extrajudicial killings had increased since the election, he threatened to withdraw the Philippines from the UN and form a new organization with China and African nations. His administration has also vowed to pursue an "independent foreign policy" that would reject any meddling by foreign governments. On July 20, 2016, Pulse Asia released a poll conducted on July 2–8 which showed that 91% of Filipinos trust Duterte, making him the most trusted official in the Philippines since Pulse Asia started its trust surveys.
