Dumaguete City | The Russian Kindness and the Filipino Facebook Users

Russia is making its advances inside Ukraine , and they are using violence to take over the country. More needs to be read to fully understand the roots of Ukraine and Russia conflict. But one thing is certain, an unprovoked war is not a gesture of kindness. Recently, Facebook contents are coming out and they are blaming the Americans to be the cause of the war. These posts are somewhat designed to justify the act of war by Russia on Ukraine. And these posts have been shared on walls and the story’s with some of many Filipino Facebook Users.  But if you make a short examination on the accounts from which the posts originated, it will be very clear that it is a propaganda Page. A propaganda Page for me is a Facebook Page account that fabricates one-sided manipulated stories aimed to alter history, or aimed to support one persona. It will be very clear inside the account because the Page will be posting about one topic alone. And this is a sad story of the current Social Media users of t

Dumaguete City | 6 Simple Reasons Why People Will Vote for Bongbong Marcos? Bongbong Marcos or BBM is leading the polls in social media as the next president of the Philippines. Many supporters of the dictator’s son believe he is a good leader, while others are voting for BBM on reasons not relating to good leadership. And in this article, let us talk about six (6) simple reasons why people are voting for Bongbong Marcos or BBM: He is the Son of His Father. Many still believe that the Marcos Sr. era was the golden years of the Philippines. Though almost all textbooks tell a different story, many Filipinos admire Marcos Sr. for the good that he has done to the country, and choose to forget the reasons why the Philippines is in extreme debt. And because of this type of admiration, being the son of his Father, many Filipinos believe that Marcos Jr. is also a good leader. They see BBM as a visionary, and a leader who is just, someone who is here to unite the people, and someone who can c

Why it's Important to Vote in the Coming Year 2022 Presidential Election? The Year 2022  Philippines Presidential Election The Year 2022 Presidential Election is as exciting as the previous. We have a former boxing champion, a prominent actor, a former general charged with murder, a son of a dictator, and a widow who wants to prevent the return of the dictator’s son back to power. In my 16 years of experience as a voting citizen, this year’s presidential election is a showdown of all-stars.  All presidential candidates have interesting backgrounds behind them. And every Filipino should cast in their votes to help the Nation have a better leader for the future. And why should every Filipino vote in this coming election?  Two (2) Important Reasons Why you Should Vote We have two main reasons to answer that question. First, this is the perfect chance to speak out and choose the best person who can lead the nation. And, the government is using our taxes for this exercise. They're u

Dumaguete City | Death Star, The Artificial Sun of China

Image
The Artificial Sun of China You’ve read that correctly, an Artificial Sun. China has built and tested Artificial Sun.  But the application of this technology is not to replace the actual Sun. Though it’s cool to think of it that way since China is a Superpower. But, China’s Artificial Sun has a more powerful purpose. It  is a Nuclear Fusion Reactor. A Tokamak Fusion Reactor. It’s a massive nuclear fusion reactor called Artificial Sun. The Artificial Sun has reportedly generated temperatures 10 times hotter than the Sun’s surface.  If you wear your conspiracy hat, do you think this is a death star that China will use to conquer the world?  Well, my opinion is different from that. As you see, energy or electricity will be a problem in the future.  We don’t want coal because it’s not sustainable and has damaging effects on the planet's temperature. Even China is distancing itself from the use of coal, or operating coal power plants and looking for better sources. Renewable energy soun

Dumaguete City | President Duterte Stay-At-Home Order for Unvaccinated Person President Duterte Stay-At-Home Order  Dumaguete City - President Duterte has given orders to request unvaccinated people to stay at home. He’s empowering the Barangay Captains to convince their constituents to stay at home if they’re not vaccinated, and may only leave their houses for essential activities. Or risk getting arrested for violating this order. This is a strong statement from the President of the Philippines, and one that is necessary. What made the president decide to issue a stay-at-home order for unvaccinated Filipino citizens? Well, we may not have the exact reason why. But here are some simple logic that might be the explanation of the stay-at-home order: Covid-19 Will Plague the Country A rise of the Covid-19 cases after the Holidays was evident. Christmas and New Year gave us plenty of reasons to celebrate, and some of us might have been too reckless. Lowering your guard down against Covid

Dumaguete City | Covid-19 is Here to Stay in the Philippines, and we Will Lose our Jobs Covid-19 is Here to Stay in the Philippines Covid-19 will not be leaving. If you’re still hoping that everything will go back to the way things were, think again. Because as what we are seeing, that’s not going to happen any time soon.  The Covid-19 Virus and First World Countries A virus has the capability to create new versions of itself when it transfers to different hosts. Like if Covid will infect someone, then that person passes it on to another person, and if this process is repeated several thousands of times, it will create new versions of itself. Such as what was heard with Delta and Omicron. Poor countries like the Philippines are closely preventing these transmissions because we cannot afford a breakout. But for first-world countries, they allow big gatherings, they let their citizens walk around without facemasks, and basically let the virus create new versions of itself. And it’s my pe

Surviving Year 2021 | The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF)

  Surviving Year 2021 | The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) The Metro Manila Film Festival (2021) The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2021 suffered a low turn-out, for a good reason.  The movie ticket price is pointed out as one of the causes for the MMFF’s failure. You will spend at least 450 pesos to watch an MMFF 2021 entry. That is a significant amount of money during a time of uncertainty and when every peso saved is necessary. Personally, I don’t want the festival to fail or run to a closure. That would be a very sad day for the common people who are working in the movie industry. But unfortunately, the behaviors of the producers, even before the pandemic, is heading to a trajectory of the festival's cliff dive. This is a big presumption from my end, and the festival might recover next year. But for the MMFF 2021, here is my personal opinion on why it generated low ticket sales. Top Four (4) Reasons why the Metro Manila Festival 2021 was not a Success The Threat of Covid-
