Great journalists are yet to come.

Today is a blog day!
Good thing there is this THE GUIDON(Ateneo de Manila's official publication)and ANG PAMANTASAN(PLM's official publication)that provided me an idea on where to start again.

I unexpectedly heard a voice from the schools i often dream of. It's just like I see the people of Ateneo de Manila and PLM talk in front of me while reading the copy of newspaper I have in my hands, I guess it's because I'm in love with the idea that they are the best.
Yes I was amazed with how they practice the freedom to speak as young journalists. The determination of fighting for the name of their schools not only academically. And stating their wishes for a former school president(Tamayo) who has done so much for the betterment of the name of the school and the quality of education for the students.
I was awakened by the voices I've heard. The call of young journalist to free the country from judgement just because it holds the title, Most dangerous place for journalists. We Filipinos are not slaughterers but we do have records of gruesome killings and violence. Mindanao is a beautiful place and it not a place for hopes to be buried but atrocity happen there. We do deny the fact that injustices happen in our country because we are judge generally.
I also have the courage to expressed the feelings I have against those people responsible for preventing violence and to cry with the people hurt. I also have the faith to hope for a change in our society. Whether or not in the Philippines, You and I isn't safe. We can be killed. All we have to do is take courage to fight once and for all.
Long Live Journalists.

ORDER TAKER.

Sometimes we have to obey so called "orders" as it become legal
just because the people in-charge are authorized to do so.
It necessarily mean, we have to be required of attending a certain course
which no one knows how we've been enrolled.
I am talking about the adept class..
As an extra course, extra time, extra learning, extra burden, and extra expense.
As an extra course for a program I did not enroll, not in the curriculum
and not even in my expectations.
As an extra time that steals my reservation for rest hours.
As an extra learning, yes. learning for a purpose or learning for the purpose of what?
of complying to the said agreement between a company and my beloved UNIVERSITY.
As an extra burden to my being a busy student.
As an extra expense to their suggestions of an on-line class.
I want learning to take place.
I want to learn that this is for my betterment but I should not be forced.
I learned together with my classmates that they are superior and we have nothing to do but comply.

Si Villar ang tunay na mahirap..
Si Villar ang tunay na may malasakit..
Si Villar ang may kakayahan na gumawa ng sariling pangalan..
Si Manny Villar ang magtatapos ng ating kahirapan..

One of the most heard campaign song..

I sing with the children of this infommercial aired in most
TV stations. I can't help but ask myself about the different strategies
of the candidates of this coming 2010 elections.
I wonder how many Filipinos will be influenced by what they see
and what they hear while they know what and who they really want.
It is not just about Manny Villar but it is all about the candidates who spend
so much for their publicity. It is just so amazing to visit public places
and around you are their faces in tarpaulins, ride a public vehicle and go soundtrip
with their campaign songs, or just right at this moment surf the internet and find them again.

For the millions of peso they spend for their most unique political strategy,
how much is really for the benefit of our fellowmen?
Well, it has always been an issue where their campaign funds come from,
and it has been discovered but unresolved.
I mean, If the politicians candidacy is really for the service of the Filipinos
and if they are really after the satisfaction of seeing the youth and nation in progress,
why can't their funds from their own pockets for campaign be their funds for
whatever good intentions they plan for beloved Phillipines.
Why do we hear so much of them when they aspire and after which
they remain just as decorations?
