What if I told you that much of what is written in your Philippine history books are false?

What if I told you that much of what you read in your Philippine history books are just products of propaganda, deception, and lies?

I remember somebody from TV saying that there are two deadly things in this world: apathy and ignorance. Today as I was browing the Zamboanga Today website, I read an article by Riza Locbao about the new title of Zamboanga City. In the past I have also wrote an article about this. However, when I read Riza’s article, I get where all the confusion is coming from.

Sariwa pa sa ating lahat ang pagtatapos ng halalan sa iba’t-ibang barangay dito sa pilipinas.(maaring ang ibang pulo nagyon ay nagsasagawa pa ng halalan)Kasabay sa pagtatapos ng halalan ay pagtatapos narin ng karera ng mga kandidatong hindi pinalad sa mga boto at isa ang aking ama doon. Nakakalungkoty man pero dapat naming taggapin na wala nang trabaho ang kapwa mga magulang ko. Hindi ko lang maintindihan kong bakit sino pa itong naghihikaos sa buhay siya pa itong malulugmok sa kawalan. Ang nanay ko na nagtratrabaho sa barangay hall namin ay may mityang mapa-alis dahil iba na rin ang nanalong kapitan. Ang nanay ko walang trabaho, tatay ko natalo kahit unang pagkakataon pa niya itong sumabak sa pulitika hindi pinalad sa mga boto. Ang utak at puso ko naman ngayo’y naguguluhan, ako’y nag-aaral pa at nasa kolehiya na. Labing anim na taing gulang pa lamang pero nangangarap nang magtrabaho. May posibilidad din kasing  mahinto ako sa pag-aaral kahit na unang taon ko palang sa kolehiyo at kahit academic skolar ako. Nakakalungkot mang isipan na kahit skolar na ako may posibilidad pa ring mahinto dahil nga sa pang-araw2x na sustento at ang pang-unang bayad mo pa. hindi ko alam kung nasan ang diyos sa aming buhay pero kahit hindi namin alam kung my liwanag pa bang darating basta ang alam ko na darating din ang araw na mahihiga kami sa kama ng tagumapay…kahit hindi ko alam kung mayroon pa kami noon..

Whilst roaming around Landmark (Trinoma), I was looking for a 4×4 or 5×5 Rubik’s cube when I found this Sudoku Cube sold for a cheap price. I tried inspecting, figuring out how to solve it, and comparing its difficulty to solving a Rubik’s cube.

It’s always fun to read about the Philippines in other countries in a positive light. Even this is just a blip on Time Magazine again.

Studies in the Philippines show that later-born siblings tend to be shorter and weigh less than earlier-borns. (Think the slight advantage the 6-ft. 5-in. [196 cm] Peyton Manning has over the 6-ft. 4-in. [193 cm] Eli doesn’t help when he’s trying to throw over the outstretched arms of a leaping lineman?) Younger siblings are less likely to be vaccinated than older ones, with last-borns getting immunized sometimes at only half the rate of firstborns. Eldest siblings are also disproportionately represented in high-paying professions. Younger siblings, by contrast, are looser cannons, less educated and less strapping, perhaps, but statistically likelier to live the exhilarating life of an artist or a comedian, an adventurer, entrepreneur, GI or firefighter. And middle children? Well, they can be a puzzle—even to researchers.

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. — John 15: 12

Billionaire author JK Rowling sparked a bit of controversy two weeks ago by revealing that Dumbledore, the headmaster of the school of witchcraft and wizardry, and Harry Potter’s mentor, is gay. Gay rights activists all over the world are rejoicing over the revelation. And why shouldn’t they? Throughout history, we have seen literary greats transform the attitudes and the consciousness of entire generations by using stories and lessons we can all relate to and understand. Literary greats, the likes of Shakespeare, Plato, Homer, Cervantes, Montaigne, Bacon, Samuel Johnson, Goethe, Emerson, Nietzsche, Freud, Proust, St. Augustine, and now, JK Rowling will forever be remembered for their stories and their revolutionary values. They not only entertain us with their tales, they also enlighten us with their values.

Enlighten?
It may not be too obvious to a lot of readers that JK Rowling’s books are meant to enlighten, but if you read her books carefully, you will find that JK Rowling has embedded a lot of values in the story of Harry Potter.  Click here and continue reading…

Before the clock strikes 12 midnight on October 31st, major cities around the world will start the Halloween party! This is a tradition that is celebrated way back in the nineteenth century of course to countries like Great Britain, United States and Ireland. And now in almost all inhabited nooks on earth, this is a special day to be in the Underworld (where the dead have their dominion). But here in the Philippines, not quite a big deal. As for my childhood life, I haven’t experienced those traditional Halloween activities such as Trick-or-treating, Halloween Party on disco (gimmick bars), or movie marathon of horror films! My hometown in Dumaguete City…

Your treat here after the jump.
