The power of social media and information.

In the past years, Filipinos have been using social media in getting people’s votes. Social Media was used for election in 2010 where it was still has a few Filipinos using. Throughout the years the use of social media has increased. The Filipinos have grown on the use of technology to the vast advancement of the country. Social Media has brought something that gives a big impact in the Philippines. In the 2016 election was being shaped by social media’s power. The use of social interaction, opinions, comments have given ideas to the people or to the politics of things that can lure the hearts of the country. This also helps local politics in enlarging their votes and a chance to be a big-time politics.

Social media is the cheapest way to advertise yourself to the people in a manner of showing something about a certain politician to level up with each competitor and achieve the goal in mind. Using social media to advertise or to listen to someone’s opinion and getting a lot of data from your voters will help the politician on what he or she needs to do. A small amount of people has no idea about every politics but with this kind of help, they could have an idea about it and where they need to side with. The only problem of this way of getting people’s attention is it might lead to disaster. Some Filipinos are immature on using the social media that leaves a great course of disastrous events. It is a give and takes information or vice versa, using social media as a way to learn or share some ideas about a certain politics and might also give the politicians something to say on their opinion. The help of social media can help everyone understand each politician and share some comment or opinion about it can help a politician about how to handle his or her battle. It might be how the country can speak with each other and say on their own opinion about a certain scenario of politics.

In the advancement of the country, it will still be hard on determining the proper way of interacting on a political event or view to everyone on how the government will always work. It might be a good way of interacting but the odds are not so good, not all Filipinos are mature enough to understand in things that has great power and has great responsibility. The facts might not be true on sharing some information and it might be true, no amount of information might give the facts of a certain idea on a politics and on how a politics share his or her idea about changing something on the country to make it more stronger or upgrade the country. How the 2016 election had gone, social media has really shaped the election on how President Duterte won it with the help of social media. When every Filipino that supported him had gone through a lot of things in the social media just to support him and encourage him to run as a president. Social media really hit it out in the Philippines having everyone interact with each other by not seeing just by the use of technology. But still, according to the article showbiz politics are still hit from the Filipinos. It was a game changer in the Philippine election changing the ways and interaction with people and it was all helped by social media who have a great power to change and entertain each and everyone in the country.

1.      What crimes were punishable under the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (R.A. 10175)? Crimes that are punishable under the Cybercrime Prevention Act are cybersex, child pornography, cybersquatting, identity theft, and libel.

2.      Why is there a need for the Philippines to have a cybercrime law? The cybercrime act would strengthen the Internet and free it of identity thieves, hackers, data pirates and cybersex offenders. They also maintain that it will benefit the economy as more Information and Communication Technology (ICTs) companies will be encouraged to invest in the Philippines.

1.       What new and relevant information did you learn from the film shown?

In the extent of how the Philippines is trying to develop itself from a developed country. The part when some places of the Philippines has not yet been developed. Only urban places are being further been developed, rural places of the country have not yet been. As the documentary showed on how living in a rural place can be tiresome when they lack the efficient needs to survive. No cars, roads, electricity, medicine, hospitals, doctors and more.  How the government watches them suffer through the years they have been suffering in not helping. How people survive with themselves working together just to help someone who is not blood-related with them just showed how Bayanihan worked in the Philippines.

 2.       Do you think documentary film is the best medium to show the societal issues presented in the material viewed? Why or why not? If not, which type of media could relay those issues better? Elaborate your answer.

 Documentary film like this is the best for giving out the social issues of the country. Showing how the hardship and the real thing about the things that are really happening. No false act of giving information to people. Letting everyone see and maybe feel what it was meant to show. But as it showed in the film nothing has changed for years since the reporter documented the place last time and when she got back nothing has been changing. It still has the same issues. The Documentary film was not really appreciated by the people or the film didn’t catch the eye of the people. The way it gives information was good but fewer people saw it. Documentary film is a good way of showing the issue of something but it lacks something that can catch the eye of the society.

 3.       How can you, as a student, help others become aware and critical of the timely issues in our society using your social media platforms?

 As a student, I can help by giving out issues that can be a big thing in the society, not just irrelevant issues on social media. Giving truth full information’s in social media might help others to be concerned and be benefit able to everyone and about something that might affect the society. I won’t tell lies on the issues and give each issue or post a label so that it can’t affect anyone.

An Essay of Political Corruption of the Philippines

         Political is the conduct of government that is concerned in making a distinguished form from the administration of governmental policy. It is involved in politics and also concerned with the acts against a political system or more likely a political is a government or the public affairs of a country. Corruption is a form of dishonesty conducted by a person who is entrusted with a position of authority to acquire personal benefit. Corruption occurs when some individual is willing to do illegal things to make something large from it or for corporate profit. Political Corruption is the use of power by government officials for illegal gain. Means of corruption includes graft, bribery, embezzlement, backdoor deals, nepotism, and patronage.

          In the early 1960s, the Philippines was an economic power. But today the glory days are long over. In the 1990s the Philippines was regarded as one of the world’s most corrupt nations. The Philippines are now likely to be called a political instability, an economic struggle, and crime and corruption. The Philippines suffers from corruption, the gravest threat to Philippine democracy and society today. There are many forms of political corruption that is happened in the Philippines that is being showed by the political leaders who are seem to be guilty of the corruption they have done for their own good.

          According to the transparency International’s 2016 corruption index, the Philippines is ranked 101th out of 176 countries, with a score of 35 that didn’t even reach the global average score that indicates that Philippines is highly corrupted. A survey of 10 Asia-Pacific nations, the Philippine civil service was voted most corrupt. The World Competitiveness Report ranked the Philippines just below Russia and Indonesia for tax evasion, irregular payments and favoritism towards well-connected companies. Corruption also affects the business here in the Philippines. Large bribery within the public administration, manipulation, blackmailing foreign companies that are vulnerable, favoritism, and fraud. A survey shown that companies generally have little confidence in the Philippine judicial system.

           Laws have been made like the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, the principle that a public trust, to repress certain acts of public officers and private persons alike which constitute graft or corrupt practices. Today President Rodrigo Duterte tries to demolish all the illegal acts that is going on in the Philippines and corruption is one of them. The past leaders have already beaten up the Philippines into a pulp that fighting corruption is a task that one person can handle, because nothing is going to happen when one person do something but the others deny helping and do what he or she wishes to do.

Flashes of Light

           I inhaled the cold wind and exhaled the heat that comes from my body. The sun was as bright as a thousand fireflies, the cold wind against my face. It was Wednesday, in the middle of the day it happened. I sat on the bench watching my classmates play in the heat of the sun. I watch them relentlessly enjoy the smiles and laughter they have.  I calmly feel the wind that surrounds the place, I breathe. Breathing heavily as my lungs started to cramp up and is in need of oxygen. The shade of the tree was not helping as the sun was so hot that day. I went back to the room and slept, just to stay calm and keep my breath at pace.  As the time passed by I woke up and is still in a breach of the small amount of air I could take in my body. But nothing has changed since I fell asleep. I was weak and helpless to overcome the problem I have faced. I didn’t keep up with the pace of my body. My teacher sensed there was something wrong with me and told me to go to the nurse office.

           Standing outside the nurse office, I stopped my heart is beating so fast. I was bending my back, holding my knees as I breathe heavily in despair of oxygen to function my body. I was weak and tired of what I felt. I was turning into a pale white snow. As I saw the nurse office, I continued enduring the pain in my chest. I arrive the nurse let me sit down in the chair as she was preparing the things to cure the endless pain I have suffered. Tears running through my eyes as I never expected this to happen. The moment when the nurse gives me the one thing I really need is the day I fall down from the chair and blackout. I didn’t remember what happened next, only flashes of light when I passed out.

               I achieved consciousness as we passed by the church in Marigondon in a car with some people around me that I can’t remember who they are and I lost my conscious again. The car was going to Mactan Doctors which is the nearest hospital in the school. Another flash I have received is a place I didn’t know and I can’t quite remember. I saw a light shine through a place. The place was white a pure white that it was like a cloud. I saw three people who approached me. Two of them was wearing white robes and had a thing that they hold. Their faces were like an angel that accompanied the person at the center. The person who was on the center in white robes just like the other two but I can’t see his or her face. The person at the center told me something that I can’t remember what it was as the person finish talking I achieved consciousness again and I saw my mom outside watching with other people with her. As I turned around I saw someone producing me oxygen with bag valve mask ventilation and another person doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation and I lost my conscious again.

                I woke up, it was cold, dark and gloomy. There were people on the side which are talking to each other.  I struggle to get out from the bed but my hands were tied up. I felt something was sticking to my mouth, it was a tube that is being put down through my lungs to get the phlegm out of my lungs and an oxygen tube on my nose. As I struggled a nurse approached me and said: “It’s okay keep calm you are okay now”. My body was still weak as I struggle on the things that were all around me I fell asleep and the next day I woke up in a room full of my families that are happy to see me breathing and is in a good condition.

Movie Critique

PATAY NA SI HESUS :  FAREWELL OUR BELOVED HUDAS

 Patay na si Hesus is written by Patrick Tabada. Patay na si Hesus was first an entry at QCinema filmfest where it won two awards : the Audience Choice Award and the Gender Sensitive film award. A single mother who got her three adult children together on a long travel from Cebu to Dumaguete to attend the funeral of their estranged father.

 Genre : Comedy-Drama

Director : Victor Villanueva

Main Cast :

●       Jaclyn Jose as Iyay

●       Chai Fronacier as Jude or Judith Marie

●       Vincent Viado as Hubert

●       Melde Montañez as Jay

●       Miles Canapi as Lucy their aunt

Initial release : October 16 2016

             The title of the film was “Patay na si Hesus” it suggested as the death of Hesus who is their father. The title was telling us how did Hesus comes up to death, we can say that it's a life story of Hesus until its final hours in his life. A dramatic ending of the life of their estranged father. Basically it didn't happen that way, but with lots of irony in the movie. The movie was not what you expected it to be a dramatic point of view of a family who is not complete. A single mother with her three adult children on a trip to Dumaguete to attend the funeral of her ex-husband.

             The movie takes place at the city of Cebu where they traveled through its different provinces going to Dumaguete. A road trip to be exact but in that road trip it display the great relish at sight over Cebu’s famous lechon and aerial views of the coastal towns as the mini-van they used traveled across to southern Cebu. Jaclyn Jose or also known as Iyay in the movie was a single mother with three grown child. She is an astonishing woman who deliberately taken care of her three child on her own, forcing two of her children to go to the funeral. She might have a great job but had given life for her 3 children. Vincent Viado or Hubert was the first born child of Iyay who got a down syndrome, but is proving that having a down syndrome is not a hindrance to his job. Chai Fronacier acted as Judith Marie or as he prefer to be called Jude, a lesbian or transman. Melde Montañez or Jay was the last child of Iyay who is jobless that did not passed on the board exams. And Hudas their cute little dog. In their trip their Aunt Lucy or Miles Canapi who joined on their trip to Dumaguete, a Nun at Simala Parish Church. We didn’t expect a nun to be as crazy as one could be, with her jokes on the family that brings up the mood in the mini-van.

              They only used three languages which are Filipino, Bisaya, and English. Where they speak with a natural pinoy who speaks in english. Bisaya or Cebuano was their main language that they used. They lived in Cebu so basically they speak Bisaya. Filipino is the first language of Iyay, she only learned bisaya through the years of staying in Cebu, because her ex-husband lives on Cebu.

             The primary conflict of the movie was they got no reason to visit the funeral of their dad because of they already alienated their father in their lives, except for Iyay who still loves his first man but failed through the toughness of her first love marrying somebody else. Eventually all of them go to their father’s funeral to pay respect, and because nobody should be left out from the family.

            It gives the audience to talk about the relationship between their family, life, social life, and laughters that they share to each other. For people that have disabilities, this inspires them to do things like Hubert did in the move. Where the disabilities can not hinder you from what you want to do. The movie gives some scenario of families where it could happen in real life that could encourage you to talk things that you wanted to talk to your family that takes up courage and should destroys the fears in you.

            The movie got some religion jokes that is considered as offensive for conservative audiences. But it was pleasant in a good humor.

             The general theme was about a not so constructed family but have given affection to each other where they laugh, cry, drama, and loved together. It may not be appropriate for the whole family especially for kids because of the vulgar humors, it is still a story about family.

             The film was solemnly all about a family trip but loses someone special to them at the end but keeps on moving forward to the world and smiles and laugh at it, that holds every person that gives them strength to move forward. Millennials should watch the show where all of us can relate and understand what the movie feels and what is happening in the movie, because we relate ourselves from that situation and overcome it that gives us strength to move forward. It’s been often said that long drives bring out the worst and best out of people. Patay na si Hesus brings the best out of Cebuano and families.

 Murag nag robot si mama,

Manglabing siya ka namo

 Ang pagka pursigido niya,

Ay may kapalit ng pagmamahal

og pagka pursigido namo sa among ka ugma on.

Fortress

       They say a fortress is a place where you’ll be safe. A place that which gives memories, love, comfort, and happiness. This kind of place gives you freedom to do what you want to do. The starting point of our journey and experiences. A solitude to one self’s needs. A place where you could just feed off positive energy and gives warmth to everyone. The place where everyone you love lives in.

        I always have that idea of a fortress but I don’t seem to have it. I won’t complain that on my parent’s but there are just things I want to have in our fortress or specifically my parent’s fortress. Yes, we feel secure and got comfy in the fortress but we don’t feel it. The way we act in school is different on the way we act in the fortress. It doesn’t feel that we can do what we want to do. The place of happiness they say but it turns out not too many happiness.

       Me and my siblings thought of a reason what’s wrong with the fortress. And we all somewhat agreed that it was because of our father. We don’t have a grudged on him but it’s just that his presence destroys the atmosphere. In the family, he is known to be the “kj” the one who seemingly destroys the fun out of it. He is not literally bad and not fun at all but he has his own kind of fun that we sometimes don’t get it.

     At the end, we still feel happy on the fortress even though it’s not perfect to feel good or to be contented. The important thing is that we are all together in that fortress where we can have a smile. The place where we all going to miss in the future of our own life. Where good and bad memories stay. The place where you can get your strength. The fortress that can also be completed with one thing, the completeness of every family in the fortress.
