Image
           Indigenous people are considered to be important to our community since they preserve the unique language, knowledge and beliefs that we once exhibit in the past. They are commonly described as primitive and unsocialized group of people since they proceed to live near the shore and inside dense jungles which they are capable of hunting wild animals using ancient weapons such as daggers and blowpipes. They respect their own culture and prefer to live this way since this is what they consider as normal.   They have a unique clothing depending on which tribe they belong to.

Speaking of houses, their houses have unique structures that could withstand calamities to an extent since they use indigenous resources such as limestone and bamboo. They are re...

       Climate change is a destructive phenomenon that are man-made. Due to massive emission of greenhouse gases, it destroys the ozone layer in which causes intense heat globally. With that fact in mind, the whole environment is endangered and became harsher that made every living thing that includes us to suffer from the effects of what we humans caused.   However, we Pilipinos united as one in order to lessen the damage of the calamities that may come. When a typhoon pass through the Philippine zone, we prepared to evacuate as soon as possible to avoid losing precious lives. During the typhoon, we are presented with relief goods by the government which consist of can foods and rice. Lastly, after the typhoon, we help one another to rebuild what's lost from the disaster.    I hope that climate change would be lessen since it not only effects us but also the animals that reside in this world, we may not cause it but we ultimately made it worse than wh...

CHILDREN ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LOVED, NOT NEGLECTED

Image
                           Children are supposed to be loved with affection and care . They are not supposed to witness violence and brutality since they are weak and fragile, they are not supposed to experience traumas that may haunt them every night, they are not supposed to feel that they are worthless and they need guidance from their guardians since they are not capable enough to act independently in this world full of danger.   Some parents consider violence as discipline , spanking their children if they don't behave properly. It  happens worldwide that also includes the Philippines. However, I don't favour this way of discipline since it hurts the child in a  physical and mental manner that may lead them traumatize for eternity causing them to hold a grudge to their parents. Scared that they may criticize him/her, they would naturally avoid their parents which would potentially cause them ...
