To Honor Those on The Day of Valor


            Wars. It’s not all about bloodshed. It may seem like a brutal word to say, but there is still beauty within its dark circle. In the art of war, there is a fight for love, freedom and peace. Though to acquire such means is to carry out dedication and savagery. To those brave souls whom died and sacrificed their lives, even those whom have survived such chaos for the freedom of our motherland, they deserve our outmost respect, for we owe them.


            The Katipunan, officially known as Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalangang Kattupunan (KKK), was a Philippine revolutionary society founded by anti-Spanish Filipinos at Manila in 1892 - whose primary aim was to gain independence from Spain through revolution. The revolution against Spain was sparked in 1896 after Spanish authorities discovered the Katipunan. It ended in 1902, wherein Spain lost and ceded sovereignty of the Philippines to the United States.


            It is to be said that the Katipunan served as an awakening call for the Filipinos to fight for their freedom. When they started, there were approximately 4,000 pioneer members. But as time passed by, it grew as much as 400,000 - a sign of how it thrived and awakened the nationalism within the Filipinos. Andres Bonifacio, a Philippine patriot, was the founder and leader of the Nationalist Katipunan Society, who instigated the revolt of August 1896 against the Spaniards.

A Brighter Tomorrow Resides Beyond the Sorrow

Image
               Every child is special. Childhood is known to be an important part of a person’s life. All of us have been through that timeline and many more will. It is a time wherein you get to be innocent and have fun without a care in the world. Life as a child was like unicorns and rainbows. Although not all of the children get the chance to be “free” and “innocent” nor have a life filled with “unicorns and rainbows”. Many even had to set their dreams aside to work and earn money for a living, just to help their family. This wasn’t supposed to happen for we all know that a child has their right to learn and not to work nor earn.                     A child needs to be educated, sheltered, fed, cared for and loved. It is their right and a parents’ responsibility to do so. To serve and provide for a child is a must, or I should say a duty to fulfill. We all know that a child depe...

Another Chapter of My Life Unfolds

            “New Year, New Me”. I can’t say that this year, there will be a new me. This is because there will never be a new me but I guarantee you, that there will definitely be an upgraded version of me! Doesn’t that sound better?

Despite the cruelty, we still find ways to address positivity to the world and restore the faith in humanity.               For ...

Amidst This Crisis, Let The Essence of Christmas Prosper

Image
               “It’s the most wonderful time of the year~”, that’s what that one song said. It is obvious that this is another Christmas Celebration during an ongoing pandemic wherein people aren’t that fond of. Although, that doesn’t stop us on giving off positive vibes during this once a year of a season. We all know that the Christmas season is nothing new to us, but due to the pandemic, it has become quite a hassle. This is a challenge for all of us to overcome.   As of my opinion, this Christmas season, I have a feeling that it won’t be so bad and I have high hopes for that. I mean, the reason we celebrate such an event is because it’s the birthday of Papa Jesus and we are looking forward to another year of glimmer. I get that this year was a rough ride for the most of us. We had our ups and downs, we had our outmost joyous and even the darkest days of our lives. Words cannot describe how much we’ve been through this year, am ...
