na kahit dumaan ang pagkarami-raming taon ay hindi pa rin lumilipas ang ganda.

masarap pagmasdan dahil kabigha-bighani talaga nag nagpapadagdag sa kabuuang
kagandahan nito. Sagana ang ilog na ito sa mga lamang-dagat na siya naming dahilan
kung bakit walang nagugutom sa bayang iyon. Maraming danaw (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;pond) &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;kang makikita doon na para sa mga
inaalagaang lamang-dagat. Tuwing harvest season ay parang fiesta sa dami ng mga

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Sabik ka na rin bas a malinis na
dagat? Kung saan pwede ka mag-ala-Michael Phelps? Bumisita ka sa “Baybay” –
tawag nila doon. Hindi man white sand, malinis naman. Tiyempuhan mo lang ng
tanghali hanggang hapon. Walang alon ng mga oras na iyon at tiyak na magsisiyahan
ka sa pagiging sirena o pagiging siyokoy mo. Madaming makukulay na bato dito,
pwede mong ipunin at ilagay sa walang lamang bote. Akala mo nasa Boracay na ang
lahat? Wala niyan sa Boracay!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Kung gusto mo naman magpahinga,
pwede ka kahit saan. Maraming nagtitirikang mga puno na sagana sa dahon pati na
rin sa mga prutas. Duyan, buko, &lt;i&gt;indian
mango – &lt;/i&gt;voila, tanggal pagod!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Hindi mayaman at hindi mahirap,
simpleng pamumuhay lang ngunit walang katapusang saya at alaala ang maihahatid
nito. Sa isang dialog-story nga na sikat ngayon sa social media, “&lt;i&gt;Mayroon tayong mga ilaw sa gabi, pero sila
ang dami nilang mga bituin sa gabi. Bumibili tayo ng pagkain pero sila
nagtatanim sila ng sarili nilang mga halaman na pwedeng kainin. Mayroon tayong
matataas na bakod para protektahan ang ating pamilya pero sila marami silang
mga kaibigan.” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;IT’S FIVE O’clock when we had finished
our last scouting activity that afternoon. All of us were worn out since we had
been challenged by an extreme obstacle course. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Wounds, bruises, and mud kissing my
skin -- Those were just the product of the activities we had that day. And yet,
we have no more time to take a good bath! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;After the activity, we headed
immediately to the stream. I was washing my clothes and scrubbing my body to
take away all the mud when one thing came into my mind that time... I forgot my
soap and shampoo! And I have no enough time to go back to our campsite. &lt;i&gt;Ang malas naman!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;After that bad bath (seriously), we
straightly went to our campsite and ate our dinner prepared by our outfit advisor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;“Weet!” That’s the sound of the
irrating whistle again. We are obligatory to join the assembly at the covered
court and must wear our Type C Uniform.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;I went out of our tent when, grrr, that
mud! My shiny black shoes got dominated by that disgusting mud again. I
straight ahead the court for I have no time to clean it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;The scoutmasters started to speak
their own experiences about scouting. Discussed there, discussed anywhere,
discussed about that, discussed about this, and wrote some lectures here and there.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;Next was our campfire and I’m so
sleepy. I placed my notebook into my face covering my face like I’m thinking of
something and started to close my eyes little by little. But wait! I remembered
that we are going to have our pre-board of Review after the campfire. So I
grabbed my paper and memorized the Scout Oath and Law. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;The pre-board of review started around
10 in the evening. We had waited until our names were called. It was ONE
o’clock in the midnight when our names had been called. There are two panels in
the review. The panels interviewed me about myself. Ah! I’m sleepy and I don’t
know what to say. “A…e.. “ the words I have said that time. The only thing I want
to do is to sleep! Yawn! They asked about my life, my ambition and everything. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

will be able to sleep now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 32px;&quot;&gt;They&#39;ve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 200%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;just interviewed me for five minutes. Exhausted
and stressed, but after the consecutive misfortunes, there is always the
positive one, and that’s the excitement.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

below 15 years of age in public and private undertakings…” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white;&quot;&gt;Whatever that law utters, child labor
is still an immense dilemma of our country nowadays and yet, is still growing. After
a survey conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO), DOLE secretary Rosalinda
Baldoz said that, “As of October 2011, there are 5.49 million working
children aged five to 17 years. More than 55.1 percent or 3.02 million were
counted as child labor while 2.99 million are exposed to hazardous form of
child labor.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;With this wow-number of children in
labors and the fact that 33% of the population is composed by children ages 5
to 17 years old that marks Philippines as a young nation, it just the same
thing despite of the implementations of many anti-child labor programs that started
since 1995 under the presidency of Fidel V. Ramos. &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The issue here is: why do children
need to work in their very young age? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;Child labors could also be found in some illegal
mining areas and banana plantations which are notorious in Davao and its
neighboring provinces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The common child labor in the
provinces can be found in the sugarcane plantations. Most parents cannot have their
children finish their schooling because of poverty so they are forced to give
up the education of their children and have their children worked in
plantations. In a 2010, DSWD Bukidnon shows that 22% of children aged 6 to 16
have stopped schooling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

few child labors present in the country. If you are asking if there are girls
who are present in this kind of illegal action, the answer is yes! And the
worst is, prostitution is the common among the child labors among girls. Girls

children, it can be considered as inevitable in spite of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: black; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;passing of R.A. 9208, the&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: -webkit-auto;&quot;&gt;, a penal law

still, the labor chief expressed confidence that the government would still be
able to meet its target to reduce the number of child laborers in the country,
as stated in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;As avowed in the Presidential Decree
no. 603 or The Child and Youth Welfare Code, the child is one of the most
important assets of the nation. Every effort should be exerted to promote his
welfare and enhance his opportunities for a useful and happy life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;These are some several factors: &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;First is COMMUNITY. Everything
a child does correspond to the kind of surrounding he/she lives in. The
lifestyle of their playmates, neighbors and the people who are connected to him
affects the ethics of a child. Children learn not the way he was taught but the
way his environment acts. Every child&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;&quot;&gt;
deserves to live in a good shelter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;Second is EDUCATION. A child without
a good education marks the weakness of his intellectual growth. Children need to
learn…Learning in the way he/she enjoys every lessons that he listens. &amp;nbsp;Education teaches a child with the values of
life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;Third and the most important is FAMILY.
Are you familiar with this quotation, “&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;&quot;&gt;Sa mata ng
isang bata, ang isang pagkakamali ay nagiging tama kung ito ay ginagawa ng mas
matanda”? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;&quot;&gt;Parents must act as a model for they will guide their
children to the path they will take.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;Child labor can be only prevented if
and only if all of us are aware with this kind of misunderstanding. Take
ourselves into the reality which we may see the real situation of children
beyond on the things we only see. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Minsan nang sinabi ng mongheng si Thich Nhat Hanh, &quot;If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Bakbakan sa gitnang silangan, diskriminasyon ng mga babae at lalaki, malaking agwat ng mahihirap at mayayaman, diskriminasyon sa bawat lahi at kulay – ilan lamang iyan sa mga napapanood natin sa telebisyon maging nababasa na rin natin sa Internet. At hindi na rin lingid sa ating kaalaman ang unti-unting pagkamatay ng kapayapaan sa ating mundo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Ilan lamang sa mga relihiyong lumaganap sa mundo ang Kristiyanismo, Budismo, Islam at Hinduismo. Kristiyanismo, na may pinakamaraming sakop na mananampalataya ay binubuo ng halos 30% ng populasyon ng mundo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Mula sa pagkadami-daming bilang nito, maituturing nating isa ang relihiyon kung bakit hindi natin makamtan ang mundong kapayapaan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Naging dahilan na rin ang relihiyon sa pagkabuo ng tinatawag nating pundamentalismo at rasismo. Rasismo sa kamalayang tinuturo nito ang pagkakaiba ng mga tao base sa kanilang pananaw o relihiyon na pwedeng humantong sa hindi pagkakaunawaan ng dalawa o higit pang sektor ng pananampalataya. Ang layon naman ng tinatawag na pundamentalismo ay striktong pagsunod sa kung ano ang nakasulat o itinuro sa kanila ng relihiyon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Dahil sa kasakiman sa kapangyarihan, kumikilos ang sakop nito upang pabagsakin ang namumuno.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Dulot nito, lumalaban din ang namumuno sa sakop nito at hindi magpapatalo at bababa ng kanyang trono. Minsa’y ‘di lamang kasakiman ang sanhi nito. Pwede ring hindi pagkakaunawaan sa sistema ng gobyerno katulad ng Syrian Civil War (2011) kung saan gustong pagbagsakin ni Syrian National Council Chairman Abdulbaset Sieda ang ngayong presidenteng si Fd.Mar. Bashar al-Assad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Ang Syrian Civil War (2011), ang Mexican Drug War (2006), ang Somali Civil War (1991), ang Afghan Civil War (1978), ang Naxalite–Maoist insurgency sa India (1967), ang Colombian Armed Conflict (1964) at ang mga bakbakan sa timog na parte ng Pilipinas – Iyan ay ilan sa mga hindi pa nareresolbang digmaan na kinakailangan na ng agarang solusyon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Ang kapayapaan ay nagsisimula sa pinakamaliit ng yunit ng komunidad. Maaari nating sabihin na nagsisimula ang kapayapaan sa mga kabataan. Ito&#39;y totoo sapagka&#39;t kung bata pa lamang ay magsisimula na ang isang tao na maniwala at magpalaganap ng kapayapaan sa kanilang sariling paraan, malaki ang posibilidad na hanggang kanilang pagtanda ay dala nila ang katangiang ito. Kung sa maliit na sekta ng komuniidad ay hindi maisasakatuparan ang pagiging payapa, anu pa kaya kung sa isang malaking komunidad na?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Huwag nating hintayin sa panahong hindi na alam ng mga susunod na henerasyon ang salitang “kapayapaan”. Oo, mahirap makamit ang kapayaan. Mahirap kung mag-isa lang tayong kikilos Maging mulat tayo sa mga pangyayari. Kumilos tayong mga kabataan at ipakita natin ang ating&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;magagawa tungkol sa isyong ito. &quot;Kapayapaan ay ang pagmamahal sa iyong sarili at sa iyong kapwa,&quot; ito ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng kapayapaan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Sabi nga ni George Clemenceau, ang digmaan ay masyadong sineseryoso kung saan pinapaubaya pa sa mga military kung saan pwede naman daanin sa diplomatikong pamamaraan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Para makamit din natin ang makamundong kapayapaan, maari ring makatulong ang peace education. Marami sa mga kabataan ang mulat sa digmaan at mga kaguluhan. May mga ilan pa nga na napapawalay sa kanilang mga pamilya ng dahil sa mga giyera. Ang peace education ay hindi lamang nagangahulugan na malaman kung ano ang pakahulugan sa salitang kapayapaan. Ito ay patungkol sa pamumuhay ng may kapayapaan ang pagkakaroon ng matiwasay na pakikisama sa iyong kapwa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

Bilang mga estudyante, maaari nating palaganapin ang kapayapaang ito sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabuhay ng may malinis na puso, isip at hangarin sapagkat ito ang magiging pinakaugat upang ating makamtan ang isang payapang buhay. Hindi maipapalaganap ng isang tao ang kapayapaan kung mismong sa sarili niya ay hindi niya ito isinasabuhay. Isa ring paraan ay ang pagsali sa mga iba’t ibang gawain na nagpapalaganap ng kapayapaan, halimbawa nito ay Movement towards Peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Maaaring sa panahon ngayon ay mahirap na talagang makamtan ang sinasabi nilang World Peace. Iba’t ibang paniniwala at paninidigan ng tao sa bawat sulok ng mundo. Ang paniniwala sa kanang panig ay maaaring taliwas sa kung anong pinaniniwalaan ng nasa kabilang panig na pwedeng maging resulta ng hindi pagkakaunawaan at maging kawalan ng kapayapaan. Ngunit, hindi pa huli ang lahat upang ating itong makamtan. Maaaring hindi pa sa mga oras na ito, pero sinong nakakaalam, malay natin ang kapayapaang ito ay atin nang makakamit sa mga susunod na panahon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Maraming salamat sa mga tumulong sa akin para mabuo ito: Ate Chingers at Bestfriend Paolo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Ayan!
Ang asawa ay kawawa, nag-iisip ng mga ipapakain sa mga bata. Nang dumating si
Peping na walang hiya, mga tao sa bangka biglang nawala.” Ito’y isa sa mga
talata ng tulang naibahagi sa akin ni lolo Honrado habang siya’y aking
kapanayam.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;Mula pa noong tumuntong ako ng hayskul sa Liceo de San Pedro, madalas
ko nang nakikita ang dalawang matandang pawang nangangausap ang mga kamay para
sa mga baryang ipagbibili sana ng mga pagkaing ikakabuhay nila.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;Maaga noon nang kami’y dumayo sa bayan
ng San Pedro upang makapanayam si Aling Pacita sa may harap ng parokya ng San
Pedro. Sa kasamaang-palad hindi namin naabutan doon si Aling Pacita.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;Hindi
kalayuan sa karaniwang pwesto ni Aling Pacita ay may isang matandang lalake na
nakasumbrero at may hawak na tungkod. Siya si Honrado Española, 82 taong
gulang, ipinanganak noong ika-16 ng Disyembre 1930 sa Iloilo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Ayon
sa kanya ay hindi pa raw siya makauwi sa tahanan nila dahil sa bahang idinulot
ng Hanging Habagat noong nakaraang mga linggo. Mula Biñan ay tinatahak niya
hanggang San Pedro para lang makahingi ng kahit kaunting tulong sa mga
nakakasalubong. Akalain mo ‘yun, sa edad niyang 82 ay nakapaglalakad pa siya ng
ganoon kalayo?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;Walong
taon nang namamalimos si Lolo Hondrado mula noong tumigil siya sa pagja-janitor
sa isang bus liner sa kadahilanang katandaan na rin siguro. Ngunit paano nga ba
napadpad sa San Pedro si lolo mula Iloilo?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;Lumaki
si Lolo Honrado sa Iloilo. Bunso sa mga magkakapatid. Ikatlong baitang lang ang
natapos dahil na rin sa kakulangan ng pera at kahirapan sa buhay. Nang lumaon
ay nagtrabaho bilang isang sundalo. Sa kasamaang palad ay nakapatay siya ng isang
opisyal at naging &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;wanted&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt; sa kanila
lugar kaya napilitan siyang takbuhan ang mga rehas na bakal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;Namasukan
siya bilang iasng janitor sa JAM Liner hanggang siya’y nanghina na at
kinailangan na ng tungkod upang makapaglakad ng maayos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;Mayroong
inaalagaan si Lolo Honrado na isang apo dahil sumakabilang-buhay na ang kanyang
isang anak. Pilit siyang kumakayod sa pamamagitan ng pamamalimos para lamang
matustusan ang pangangailangan nilang mag-lolo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;Paminsan-minsan
ay dumarayo siya sa mga selebrasyon para sa mga katulad niyang salat sa yaman
katulad noong Disyembre ng 2011 kung saan nagdaos ang aming paaralan ng isang &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;gift-giving day&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;. Minsan ay lumahok na
rin si lolo sa isang patimpalak sa&amp;nbsp; San
Pedro kung saan siya ay tumula at nagwagi ng 1000 pesos at tinaguriang “super
lolo” ng San Pedro. Ito ang tulang iyon:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

kanyang mga anak at hindi na pagbibigay ng mga pinansyal na tulong madalas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

daw ay nahuli na siya ng DSWD pero nagpumilit na tumakas sa kadahilanang ayaw
niya raw sa kanila.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Please). Punas ng pawis, kapit sa safety handle, at handa na ang lahat sa
paglalayag ng tren. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

na sa pagpasok mo sa tren, nagkakamali ka. Nagsisimula pa lang ang &lt;i&gt;World War III. &lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ayan na ang mga pasahero na nakikisabay sa
tulakan at sigawan na tila nagpapahiwatig na “hindi sila magpapatalo patay man
o buhay.” Parang gusto kong sumigaw na, “suko na ako.” Pero hindi pwede,
pumasok ako dito ng buhay, lalabas akong tagumpay; at nagging pilosopiya ko na
rin sa kursong kinuha ko. “&lt;i&gt;I enrolled
with Accounting as my chosen field, I will graduate as an accountant and I will
die as a successful CPA who already cured the infirmity of the society.” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

giyera talaga tuwing dumaraan ang tren sa mga istasyong Sucat at Bicutan. Pero
bakit ka nga ba susuko kung mayroon kang layunin sa buhay, ‘di lang ang
makarating sa patutunguhang istasyon kundi kung ano ang iyong mithiin kung
bakit ka pumunta sa lugar na iyon. Katulad naming mga Iskolar ng bayan,
pumapasok kami ng upang matugunan namin ang layunin namin sa lipunan, iyon ay
makapag-aral at matapos ang kursong kinuha namin. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Christianity, Shinto, Islam, Buddhism
and Hinduism: these are just few of the different religious convictions being
practiced around the world. Christianity, to be considered having the most
followers in the world, comprises 29 to 32% of the world’s population. Which of
these is/are right? Have you ever asked yourselves?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;“One world with different beliefs,”
this could be the best expression to describe the partition of two or more
countries, communities, or even a family. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;According to the adherents.com, there
are about thousands of religions scattered around the world. With this numerous
sectors or separation and as what our world or even our nation facing nowadays,
we could consider that religion is one of the factors why there are conflicts
and wars in this world. They (religion preachers) always say that they are the
truth, or even the chosen one! And they will be saved from the death of this
world of ours. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Aside from wars or so whatever,
divided faith also results to racism. According to some researchers, religion
has a close relationship with fundamentalism and racism. Racism in the sense
that, difference religion preaches racial tolerance that can lead to
misunderstandings and can cause to racial tolerance which has a great part into
the morality of a person.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Bust still, whatever we do or say,
there are no changes at all! We are divided into many. Our society has been
into an uproar. Nobody can go back and change the past. Let us always bear in
our minds that we are all came from only one creator. Allah, Yahweh, Buddha are
just representation of our one only Divine Creator, Whom will save us from the
destruction of this material world. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;No religion is wrong! We have just
our own way and faith. Religion can’t dictate our life. It is in our faith that
will lead us into the decency and rectitude of our life.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Kayamanan nga ba o sadyang
kinalimutan na? Kabataan, tunay nga pa bang pag-asa ng bayan? Mga tanong na
umangkin sa aking isipan at labis na naghahanap ng mga kasagutan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;color: white; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;Tunay nga na ang mga kabataan ang
magpapatuloy ng kinabukasan ng ating bansa. Sabi nga ni Dr. Jose Rizal,
“Kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.” Maraming pangarap ang mga kabataan. Ang iba gusto maging doktor o abugado para matulungan daw ang mga nangangailangan. Mga simpleng pangarap para makatulong sa
kanilang pamilya.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 150%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ngunit sa pag daan ng henerasyon, unti-unti ng nawawala ang
moralidad ng isang bata. Mga kabataang naging mangmang dahil sila’y hindi
nakapag-aral, mga lumaki sa lansangan, nagmamatyag habang hawak ang kanilang
kumakalam na sikmura; ilan lamang ‘to sa aking mga nakita na pumukaw sa aking
isipan. Ito’y mga dahilang kung bakit napapaaga ang pagsabak nila sa tunay na
hamon ng buhay. Kinalimutan na sila ng lipunan, lipunang puro pansariling
kasaganaan lang ang iniisip. Mga kabataang hindi nabigyan ng marangal na buhay!
Nasaan na ang mga hinirang na kabataan? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

was strange…yes it was! Unlike the ordinary reflection that is seen by the

the reflection.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I undressed myself and look into the
mirror again. I ask the “reflected him” – Who I am? Is this what I want? Why do
I always fail… yes… why do I always fail. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I looked into his eyes. I saw his
stressful works through those eyes. “I want to get rid of it! I hate it!” The
words came out of my head. I realized that it’s true. I have no time for
myself. I have no time with everything I want just to share and sacrifice my
time for them, the time that just wasted by others. Am I stupid? His “reflected
eyes” answered me, “You are not stupid! You just don’t have enough time for
yourself. Do what you want! Nobody cares…It’s just you…yourself.” Clock ticks.
I am who I am. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I looked into his body – his chest and
his paunch. He is weak. He is very weak… physically and emotionally. He never
wanted to be hungry. He eats food but not a healthy one…that makes him weak. He
never wanted to be hungry in the love and understanding by the people around.
He never wanted to be alone; he never wanted to be rejected or to be fooled…to
down him and stab him in his back. He is weak for he is stubborn. Refrigerator
vibrates. Foods are ready inside.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I look into his hips down to his feet.
He can’t stand alone. His legs are hairy. There are many of them. It is
annoying. He is with his companies. It is not annoying. He is happy that they
are there for him. Tramping their feet everywhere together, that makes him
happier. He can’t do anything without them for he is a person who wants help in
everything. Footsteps are heard. Someone is coming.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I dressed myself again and look at
him. The mouth says, “Strive harder!” I am shocked with what happened. The
“reflected one” didn’t say those words…for it was I.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It is clearly stated in the
United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), in which both China
and Philippines are signatories that the Scarborough Shoal is under the Philippine
sovereignty providing 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental
shelf. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;However on Aug. 25, 2006,
Beijing declared that China does not recognized any territorial and maritime
disputes&amp;nbsp;under the said convention. This implies, indeed, that there are
neither laws nor treaties in which both countries concurred until now. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Through
a discreet action, in which we are really pleased for, President Aquino and DFA
Secretary Del Rosario broadcasted their desire to have a peaceful solution
regarding the island dispute where Philippines just made UNCLOS as the
foundation of its claim of the shoal in which China has rejected.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;China,
on the other hand, just made a childish-like resolution on the issue— “The only
way the Scarborough issue can be resolved is for the Philippines to surrender
all sovereignty over it to China.” As said by Hong Lei, spokesperson of the
Chinese Foreign Ministry.&lt;span class=&quot;apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Yet, China has the
sovereignty if we based our assumptions on the historical side of the claim. &lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;&quot;&gt;In 1935, the government of China
considered the shoal as part of the&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Zhongsha
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Islands&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt; and claimed as part of
their territory. And on which the 1978 map of the Philippines featured that
Scarborough as not part of its territory and Presidential Decree No. 1596 limit
its claim to the Kalayaan islands only. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;To précis the argument with
a question, “How can we solve this kind of squabble if there is no concrete
agreement between the said countries involved?” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Simple! Both
countries must talk through diplomatic actions not through sending military
vessels to only show that they have the guts to fight for a shoal that until
today, no solutions at all.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Back in my first day in school, sobrang excited ako na parang may pupuntahan kaming party or so whatever. Tanda ko pa ang oras nung gumising ko - 3:30. Ewan ko kung bakit ako gumising ng ganun kaaga pero isa na dun sa mga dahilang &#39;yon ay marahil malayo talaga ang bahay namin sa bayan kung saan matatagpuan ang aking eskwelahan (marahil ay aabutin ka ng 20 to 30 minutes xD).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Pagpasok ng eskwelahan (kasama ko pa si mama xD) ay bumungad na agad sa akin ang malaking puno ng Acacia. Umupo muna kami sa mga nakahilerang upuan dun sa may ibaba ng Mezzanine. Siguro ay napaaga kami masyado kaya kaunti pa lang ang mga tao sa loob. Habang parami nang parami ang mga nakikita kong mga tao, ang excited kong feeling ay tila napalitan ng kaba na parang sinabi ko kay mama na gusto ko ng umuwi (bata pa kasi talaga ako nun xD).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Tapos na ang paghihintay, pinapila na kami by section. Third section lang ako nun (kahit Salutatorian ako xD) hindi dahil mababa magbigay ng grades yung former school at dahil iba ang system ng pagbibigay ng grades sa amin. Back to topic, &#39;yon nga pinapila na nga kami para sa Flag Ceremony. Buti nalang ay taga section din namin yung classmate ko since Grade 2. Naaalala ko pa yung mga kumakalabit sa akin, &quot;pinagdidiskitahan&quot; ata ako ng mga &#39;to pero hindi ko nalang pinansin (syempre mabait ako xD).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Dasal, kanta ng Lupang Hinirang, Panatang Makabayan, nakakadugo ng ilong na Mission and Vision; at last tapos na. Ayun ang akala ko ng biglang tumugtog yung weird na music, ayun pala ang himno ng paaralan namin, medyo mahaba pero nakabisado ko naman after 5 months. Bigla akong natawa sa kalagitnaan ng kanta ng may nagsabi na parang magba-ballet daw kami. Sa wakas tapos na.&amp;nbsp;Pinaakyat na kami sa kanya-kanya naming mga rooms - Rm. 206 ang amin. Umupo ako sa may tabi ng pintuan (ewan ko kung bakit xD). Habang naghihintay sa aming magiging adviser, napaisip ako kung ano kaya ang itsura nya, nakakatakot ba o &#39;di kaya baka may buntot siya at sungay. Pero all of expectations were all wrong, mabait siya dahil sa mukha nyang maamo at sa kanyang ngiti ganun na din ang kanyang ugali.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Nagpakilala na kami isaisa. At dahil napaisip ako na baka mamental block ako at mapahiya, sinulat ko sa maliit na papel yung mga sasabihin ko. Ito ang mga sinabi ko noon- &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&quot;Magandang umaga! Ang pangalan ko ay Patrick T. de Mateo. Ako ay ahm... 11 years old. Sa Southern Heights Montessori ako nag ano ahm nag-aral noong elementary.&quot; (sabay ngiti sa kanilang lahat xD). Wew kinabahan talaga ako noon parang mas matindi pa sa Thesis defense namin noong Fourth year. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;After few days medyo okay naman kahit papaano hanggang sa may nang-away sa akin. Ayun syempre dahil bata pa ako nun, umiyak ako tapos sinumbong ng mga classmates ko kay Ms. Baguhin. Haha. Nakakahiya pero iyakin talaga ako. Hindi pa dun natatapos ang kalbaryo ko nang may nanghamon ng suntukan sa akin. Taga kabilang section siya, siguro nagseselos kasi classmate ko dati yung crush nya na classmate nya na ngayon. Ayun kita daw kami sa plaza, syempre takot na takot ako nun kasi bata pa nga ako, nagsumbong ako sa mga classmates ko pati na rin sa Religion teacher namin noon na si Mr. Bernard Torrato, sumalangit nawa :(. Dahil dun, sinamahan ako ng mga classmates ko nung elem- Michael, Sam, Niño at Carren, pati narin ng mga maaangas kong classmates. Unfortunately, wala namang nangyaring suntukan. Pero naging kaibigan ko naman siya kahit papaano after nun.&amp;nbsp;Masipag talaga ako nung first year ako syempre fresh graduate nung Elem. Yung time na nape-perfect ko ang exams nila Ms. Baguhin at Ms. Macasaddu-Estrella&amp;nbsp;at naqu-question ko pa kung bakit hindi nababawasan ang value ng exponent pag sinisimplify ang mga Scientific notations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;First Quarter, Hooray! Top 1 ako. Ang saya ko nun pero nalaman ko rin na hindi ako ang official na Top 1 ng First year, top 1 lang pala ako sa section namin kasi &#39;di ako star section. Kaya ayun, nagpursige talaga ako mag-aral. Sumali ako sa mga quiz bees at iba&#39;t ibang contests para lang mapunta ng star section.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Siguro nga&#39;y iyakin ako noong First year pero meron ring time na may mga pinapaiyak ako (syempre isip-bata pa talaga ako xD). Unang una ay noong Nutrition month, grabe kasi ang drawing. Sabi niya baby daw yun pero pagtingin ko parang dalawang monay lang na pinagdikit. Ayun umiyak. Tas sinugod pa ako ng aspiring bf nya na magsorry daw ako. At dahil baka mapagalitan ako (may takot pa ako), nagsorry ako. Sunod naman ay yung isa kong classmate ng babae, nakalimutan ko na ang dahilan kung bakit yun umiyak, bahala siya. Next naman ay yung isa ulit naming classmate na babae, inasar namin ng classmate kong lalaki na &quot;palengkera&quot;, ayun umiyak (ang babaw no). At kahuli hulihan ay lalake naman, inaasar kasi namin siya (kasama ko nanaman ang mahilig na magpa-iyak kong classmate) na malaki ang mata at hinahawakan pa namin ang MALAKI nyang bata. Ayun nagsumbong nung open forum, first time ako na mapagalitan ng adviser namin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Next biggest issue ng pagiging first HS ko ay yung bullying incidence. Ayun nga, hindi kasi ako sumbungero, pero sinumbong ng mga iba kong classmate sa mama ko na binubully daw ako. Ayun napa disciplinary coordinator siya at ako. Tapos ayun, wala na. Magkaibigan na kami. Naguguilty din ako nun kasi umiyak sa harap ko yung mama ko kasi &#39;di daw ako nagsusumbong. &amp;nbsp;(Nag-hang ang cmputer kinabahan, tsk!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;,tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Para sa iba ang pagiging Freshman daw ay ang pinakakwentang year ng HS mo kasi naninibago ka pa at konting memories lang nabuo mo rito. But one thing, being a freshman serves as a big and strong foundation for what you are and who you are today. Lahat ng pagkakamali mo noong freshman ka ang naging tulay sa &#39;yo upang tahakin ang landas na nagdulot sa iyo ng maging isang matatag na estudyanteng na ang nais ay maabot ang tugatog ng tagumpay... pinakatuktok ng kaya mong maabot sa hinaharap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
