Why we celebrate Independence Day

                 Independence day, more commonly known as the day of freedom in the Philippines. As the name suggests, we celebrate it, for the sole reason of claiming freedom after a long period of time, but is that really the case?


                 Independence day may be the day we celebrate freedom, but more importantly , we celebrate all the National Heroes who "fought" for this freedom. All their efforts, pain and their bravery, though this single day we remember their heroic deeds and offer our utmost respect for them.
That is why, on this day we should be excited, not cause of a no school/no work day, but a day where people who couldn't go to school fought, for us to experience what we have today.

                 Independence day is our soul tribute to the fallen Heroes of the Philippines, who achieved freedom through hard work and countless efforts.

Soon after you became President, you worked hard to eradicate a problem going on for years now, however, why didn't you focus on helping the people in the streets just as much as you killed humans for drug usage? You should be aware that drug p...

President Duterte: S.O.N.A. 2018

Image
                        On July 23, 2018, President Duterte made his third SONA, which was his shortest SONA with a span of 48 minutes which was beyond his promise 35 minutes due to a couple of remarks he did during his speech. Compared to his previous SONA where he  went off-script with a long-winded tirade against critics in a speech that lasted two hours, Duterte in 2018 stuck mostly to his prepared speech without the usual expletives.               He talked about the main topics he'd prepared for his speech, he mainly talked about the unrelenting drug war, stating that it was far from over.  Duterte rants against illegal drugs and how it ruins lives but does not cite specific numbers on how his administration's anti-drug war addressed this problem. He had promised to end this problem within 6 months. This is very concerning, seeing as how the possibility of more peop...
