Last Refuge

Having your own family is a great advantage in your life. It consists of a father, the head of the family; mother, the one who motivates the family and their children who give joy to them.

The family is a small institution that molds every individual’s virtues and traits. Not everybody has their own family. Some parents are sending their children to the orphanage because of their indigency
that’s why many children have no parent to call mama, papa, mommy, daddy, tatang, inang and so on and so forth.

Whether we like it or not, we have our own obstacles in life, situations, views and opinions that are being destined to us. We are educated by our own family. We are being destined with self-confidence by our family. Yes, we are not that handsome or beautiful. A lot of predictions would say that we are not that physically handsome or beautiful but because of our family, we believe we are somebody.

Brotherhood or Murderer?

It was indeed despondent to us to lost a very marvelous and promising youth for just being a victim of the ruthless fraternity.

It is truly piteous to contemplate on what happened to Marc Andrei Marcos, a freshman San Beda Law student from the hands of cruel troupe of spiritless humans.

Last July 30, Marcos was found in a hospital somewhere in Cavite. Marcos himself had joined Lex Leonum Fraternitas with the promise of brotherhood and support, but instead died alone unidentified.

Searching for acceptance, which is the one major reason why people can do all things even how arduous for them to do just to enter in the chaotic world of fraternity. Being with a bunch of people with condition is so pathetic.

Living a Life in Dignity

Would it be better to have a million dollar account or would it be better to have a happy and contented life? Some people are really rich but they are lonely, while others are poor but happy with their circle of friends and family.

Money, of course, is very important for human beings to lead a decent and satisfying life and defines the existence of human society as we cannot live without it. Money can buy lots of things but not happiness. It defines as life matters.

There are lots of ways to have money. You can earn it. You can inherit it from somebody. You can win a lottery. There are of course, those due to greed for more material wealth, resort to illegal means. They commit robberies, murders and cheat just to get ahead in life.

Deeper Life

“Life is just like a battle to fight. A race which is needed to be wise in order to survive and to be successful in life.”

Numerous and tremendous miseries experienced by so many people often result despair and hopelessness. They encounter painful trials, troubles and at times bring fear in their hearts.

They say that we are the ones managing our life and I believe that life is what we make it. If we encounter some difficulties along the way, we should be brave enough to face them for they are given to us in order to make our life worth living. It’s up for us to make way for the immediate solution on how to get rid of them. However, others who are not brave enough to face their problems attempt to put an end into their lives.

Life is full of problems, difficulties and struggles no matter what one’s situation in life may be, even if he/she got the fame, power and knowledge; he/she will still suffer and face problems. That is why an individual would give up his/her life for no good reason.

Pioneering K to 12

Some quarters still oppose the K-12, the education program of the Aquino Administration. There are those who want a miracle cure that will by itself instantly heal all the ailments affecting basic education. They demand profits that K-12 reduces the classroom shortage, improve the teachers’ quality, raise learning
outcome among the students.

Others criticize the government’s haste in implementing the program with accusations that they are creating new scheme, but losing focus on what truly ails the current school system – the lack of quality education.

In the meantime, the rest of the world has implementing K-12 system. Do we need to do more research about this? The entire world, of course, can be completely wrong about K-12. But, we are not determining the truth of K-12 as a law or principle that must have universal application. We are considering the dvantages and efficiency of a practical system that will be better managed by some groups rather than others.

A number of our ambassadors have shown concern that our 10-year basic education curriculum will work against the interest of Filipino workers seeking employment abroad. It was said that Filipinos are not automatically recognized as professionals abroad. Add the fact that our shorter years of schooling breed younger graduates.
