Unexpected Disaster

Today is indeed the darkest hour of our beloved country. Yesterday, we always think that the consequences won't be occurring for the next fifty years or more. But we have underestimated the fury of Mother Nature.


Now, we are suffering the consequences brought about by our recklessness; but we didn't expect it. It acted so soon. On a spur of moment, the modern infrastructures, sleek buildings and roads were transformed into a solid mass which imposes great danger to all of us. It took several years to build these, through thick and thin. Today, however, Mother Nature took only a matter of hours to destroy what we have built for the past decades of development. Our manpower was just nothing; a useless force with regards to Mother Nature's.

Lots of lives were affected.
Lots of lives were lost.
A lot of people have suffered too much.


It's quite unfair to think that the innocent ones have to suffer the most, and the ones who are guilty of their actions didn't suffer that much.


Let's all hope for the best.
Pray to God that the affected people would still be safe through the rest of the night.


And most of all,



WE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED ONE VALUABLE LESSON. AND WE ALREADY KNOW THAT.

We can't afford to have an encore performance of Ondoy.

If I were the president of this God-forsaken country, I would have prioritized education over everything else. There are so many issues that our country has to deal with like security and safety, food, shelter, infrastructures, and telecommunications. I don’t think Gloria is obsessed with education because right now, education is one of the least prioritized institutions of the government. The national budget was surprisingly big yet the education sector gets the least amount. It’s so sad and alarming. It’s like education is turning into a business venture. Whether the institution is subsidized by the government or not the institutions need to generate income for its survival. I’m cool with that. But the quality of education is dwindling in an alarming rate. This is one of the disadvantages of technological advancements and globalization.


No, I don’t blame our president and other politicians out there if they do not prioritize education because each one of them has different goals and dreams for their respective places. That’s the beauty of democracy. If Raul Roco won the epic presidential race three years ago, I think, really think that he would prioritize education over other things.

Ang Kabataan ay ang Pag-asa ng Bayan. Pero paano natin masasabi na sila nga ang pag-asa ng bayan kung hindi nila nakukuha ang kanilang karapatan sa edukasyon?
