TRAVELOGUE Baguio City, Philippines Baguio City has a low temperature which causes the cold weather. There are deferent kind of crops that can only survive I that kin d of weather like strawberry, lettuce, cabbage, carrots and etc. The livelihood of the people there is wood crafting, paintings, weaving, producing soya products/ jams and growing vegetations. Aside from tourist spots, Baguio also offers zip line, biking and staycation or the family. The first destination that we visited is the strawberry farm. I experience how to pick strawberries and lettuce, it is also a good spot for picture taking. I realize that growing crops like strawberry and lettuce needs delicate care to maintain it’s quality. The second destination that we visited is the Bell House. We entered the abandoned Bell House that has antique furniture and belongings that were left untouched. Some of it is the piano, big mirror and warrior’s armor that has personified notes like “Don’t touch me”, “Don’t sit on me”. There is a graveyard near the Bell House wherein you can bury negative vibes/mindset that you have by reading the noting engraved on the gravestones. The last place that we visited is a place for resting and chilling. The place enables the family to have small talks, get together and reflect. The cold weather help me to unwind take a break from my problems and be free from stressful city life. In addition to my Baguio experience I have learn to be thrifty and be mindful of the things that money should me spent on. It maid me realize that earning money is not a joke, by witnessing how hard it is to work just to earn a living.

Literary Journalism It’s like a crystal glass shattered n pieces A glass that you hold tight but still slipped trough your fingers It’s like an ounce of hope washed away by your tears Where every drop of it, you took years to obtain It’s like feeling the rain after the decades of drought And then suddenly ceases when it touches the ground It’s like a little baby that you cared so much But then leaves you alone when he starts to grow up It’s like a sharp knife that cuts through your vein It cuts deep, bleeds and causes you pain It’s like a beautiful butterfly that made you so happy But you have to let go because she needs to be free.

ISSUE: ABS-CBN’s FRANCHISE RENEWAL The Philippine government moved Monday to end the franchise of the country’s leading broadcast network, the latest push by the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte against media outlets that have been critical of his leadership. The Philippine solicitor general, Jose Calida, lodged a complaint with the country’s highest court, accusing ABS-CBN Corp. and its subsidiary, ABS-CBN Convergence, of violating the operating franchise it was granted by Congress, which is set to expire in March. The move comes despite the fact that the House of Representatives has yet to start deliberating several bills supporting the renewal of the franchise. It was not clear how Mr. Calida’s petition would affect that legislation. “We want to put an end to what we discovered to be highly abusive practice of ABS-CBN benefiting a greedy few at the expense of millions of its loyal subscribers,” Mr. Calida said in a statement announcing the move. “These practices have gone unnoticed or were disregarded for years.” But critics of Mr. Duterte say he is on the warpath against media entities that have questioned his drug war, which has drawn international condemnation. ABS-CBN, along with the Filipino online news site Rappler, have been at the forefront of critical reporting about the antidrug campaign, which has left nearly 6,000 people dead since Mr. Duterte took office in 2016. Mr. Calida said the government will prove that ABS-CBN has been broadcasting for a fee, “which is beyond the scope of its legislative franchise.” He also accused the company of hiding behind what he said was an “elaborately crafted corporate veil” by allowing foreign investors to take part in its ownership. He stressed that ABS-CBN “abused the privilege granted by the state” when it introduced a pay-per-view channel without approval by the government’s telecommunications commission. As he has with ABS-CBN, Mr. Duterte has personally gone after Rappler, arguing that it was partly owned by foreign investors. The attempt to shut down Rappler, however, appears to have fizzled after the news site’s foreign investors transferred their shares to their Filipino partners. The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines assailed the move against the network. “This proves without a doubt that this government is hell bent on using all its powers to shut down the broadcasting network,” the union said. “We must not allow the vindictiveness of one man, no matter how powerful, to run roughshod over the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of the press and of expression, and the people’s right to know.” Mr. Duterte has had particularly tense relations with the media. He and his aides have attacked The New York Times and The Washington Post, and several court cases are pending against Rappler’s chief executive, Maria Ressa. While the Philippine Constitution specifically calls for the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches, Mr. Duterte has de facto control over the Senate and the House of Representatives through his allies. If the government does succeed in revoking the network’s franchise, ABS-CBN could still most likely operate in some “legal gray zone,” perhaps over the internet, so this would not likely be a death knell for the company, Mr. Heydarian said. “I don’t see any editorial compromise on the part of the ABS-CBN, which is very reassuring in itself,” Mr. Heydarian said. He said that Mr. Duterte appears to have taken from the playbook of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, who has also been accused of curtailing freedom of the press. “There are just elements of Putinism here,” Mr. Heydarian said. “We can see some Putin-like crackdown on the independent media, which was part of the Russian strongman’s strategy of consolidating power.” MY OPINION: I think that this news really affects the entire nation because Filipinos are very much influenced by television networks especially ABS CBN because this is the giant network that governs that current media platform in the Philippines. As you can read on this news, this is very one-sided. They are exposing that the President wanted to close and end the franchise of ABS CN because of their stand on the President’s war against drug. And how they deliberately criticize the government on its plans to implement the law. However, the news doesn’t expose the main reason why the network should be closed. Is there really an abuse of power? Is there really a violation of the right and privileges provided to the network? Does the network really an abusive practice that only benefits the greedy few at the expense of the networks’ loyal subscriber? I guess these issues need to be addressed as well and should give people transparency. Personally, I like ABS-CBN most specifically on the entertainment sector. They really provide outstanding and very entertaining programs that most of the Filipinos really like but I have also observed that in the news reporting

Eyes People are unique individuals. Each on of us has characteristics that are different from one another and those characteristics make us stand out. As people as well, we can describe these characteristics by using our senses. Most of the time we can already imagine and picture out someone from one’s description of his/her qualities. Today I will describe and cousin and will introduce her to you by describing her and her qualities, and her features. Before anything else, I would just like to let you know that she is one of a kind not only because of her looks but most importantly, because of her personality. I like her because she is very passionate in whatever she does. She also inspires others, very independent and very confident in her abilities. There are so much to be told about her but in this article, I would focus more on her features and what really stands out from her facial feature. I will also let your mind wander as I describe her to you so you can picture her out. She has a very cute face, cute in a sense that I always want to squeeze her cheeks. She has a high cheek bone and a very contagious smile. Whenever she smiles, it hides her eyes and she’s just so cute to look at. She has white straight teeth that adds to the beauty of her smile. For me, the most beautiful part of her face are her eyes. They are almond- shaped. You can easily notice her eyes and when you look at her face that is the feature that is eye-catching. She has long eyes. The length from inner canthus to outer canthus is much longer than the average person’s eye. But it enhances her look. It doesn’t look awkward at all. She has big eyes, the one that makes most of the Asians jealous. Asians are known for having small pointed eyes, and therefore most of us wanted to have big eyes because it just looks like extraordinary. Big eyes enhance other facial features as well. Most Asians undergo plastic surgery just to have bigger eyes or use make up just to make eyes bigger. For her, it is a natural. She has mono-lidded eyes. A monolid is an eyelid shape that doesn't have a crease. An eye that does have a crease is known as a double eyelid. Monolids are beautiful and special. And of course, I will never forget about her long thick lashes. Those lashes no longer need to be curled or be enhanced by a mascara. The one that you will always notice even if you’re a bit far. Those lashes make her eyes more expressive. I guess I have given most of the things that I like about her and emphasized my most favorite facial feature of hers. I hope that you were able to picture out her face by my description. Those characteristics make her unique. Everyone of us is unique. We also have our own favorite facial feature and beauty comes in different structure sized and features. What’s most important is that we appreciate and love what we have and also appreciate others as well.

Braver Love is about receiving and giving something on someone. Love can make you strong and weak at the same time, by loving someone is to giving and receiving something. Giving Isn’t easy but it makes you easier when it’s for someone you love, when you fall in love on someone it’s making you brave. Brave of having a commitment, brave on having a responsibility and when you are that kind of brave ? You deserve someone braved too, brave to catch you to hold your hands in front of more people and brave to fight all battles with you, that someone you can talk all of your rants in life. Love is also a truth, being truth of everything that on someone by telling and showing all nothing but a truth. Being in love for me is being safe, being in love is being embrace by a man/woman love, by spoiling her/him your love by giving them your trust and care. For me, love is like a color violet it maybe hurt your eye because it’s too dark but It’s a violet because of how a love shine. Shining by having a very lovable color and a very strong and darker color. Love is like a crystal glass shattered in a pieces, a glass that you hold tight but still slipped through your fingers. It’s like an ounce of hope washed away by your tears where every drop of it, you took years to obtain its like feeling the rain after decades of drought and then suddenly ceases it touches the ground. It’s like little baby that cared too much but then leave you alone when she starts to grow up, that is love.

UNSAFE Unsafe because she didn’t feel the same us before how they love and care for each part of her family. By having a small problems and getting mad for each other. For me isn’t bad for not being part of a family when you can live without them too, I believe that one day all of them will come and asks for your held, come and seek for your help. But now, let them ignore and criticize you, let them compare you to others. Just be true of what you feel, because for now this is their time and tomorrow is yours. Lift yourself up and believe I yourself because if you’re not? Who will, you can’t when they can. Because when the time that you can they can’t and strive for your dreams, because the easier the smallest thing and the biggest is the hardest. Be and do hard today tomorrow will be your easy part of life. But still your family is still your family don’t get mad at them, just let them see how good their daughter is. For now, study hard and it’s for them too. If they never support you, support yourself because you can. Open your wings and fly high but don’t forget on where you going from and now, know you limitations you’re still discovering yourself but this time with your own. Family problem isn’t a hindrance to success your success, because you can if you want.

EVERY DAY In the movie every day it show their on what true love it is. It has been show that a true love is being sacrificing someone you love. It is a movie of a young man who waking up in different bed and body every day and he is getting in love in a girl. Having a situation of a young man is a hard situation, first he don’t know how to explain his situation. Could you explain how you waking up in the morning in different body, personality and gender ? But slowly he explain how he was born in this world and he slowly in love in the girl too. To the point that he need to become a gay just to stalk and just to talk to the girl that he feeling in love with. In the middle of the movie the girl is slowly getting in love of him too, the girl being curious of a man personality. she always do searching a man’s account and seeing a different pictures but the same spirit. She don’t know what’s her love will be tomorrow, if a girl or a boy or maybe a lesbian and boyish. But still she felt in love of that personality, that spirit who woke up in different body every day. But spirit on his own he know that he is a boy, who needs a girl to love and understand him. But the sense of why his waking up in the different body is to solve a problem that a body’s his waking up with every day. He solved a life of a lady that have a suicidal thought, he also waking up in his girlfriend body and making a conversation to his girlfriend father. That movie really touch my heart because in the end a spirit of a man is need to go in the U.S just to have his love girlfriend free and for her to be found what’s really he is. His girlfriend let him to go and to let herself to have a the same man every day. It’s a beautiful story of love, a story of sacrificing someone you love.

BIG GIRL Throughout my 18 years of existence in this world I’ve learned many things on my own self and experiences. But one thing really hit me hard and I really learned as I grow up is how to become independent standing on my own is my greatest achievements in my life. Not because I am independent I don’t sick help from my parents or eldest. It’s just that I don’t easily seek help for my small problems or small things. I learned not to be so independent on my parents if I know that I could do things on my own. When I entered grade XII I have to live with my auntie, she is the oldest sister of my father so I have to leave my hometown Idio, Sebaste, Antique just to seek more opportunity here on the City of Imus. That day I knew that I have to live my life not being used to have my parents by my side. At first I really made a big adjustment not just on my surroundings but also waking up everyday I can’t longer see my parents early in the morning helping me do my stuffs as I will go to school. I do really appreciate my mama and papa but I want to stand in my own too, I want to discover new things without them because I believe in the saying “There is no permanent in the world except changes’’. So I need to stand in my own without them and live a life without them too

Introduction to BIR Computerized Accounting System

The Philippines Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) through Revenue Regulations No. 09-2009 regulates the registration of Computerized Accounting Systems (CAS) for certain taxpayers.

Computerized Accounting System (CAS) is the integration of different component systems to produce computerized Books of Accounts and computer generated accounting records and documents. For companies categorized by the business style BIR meaning as "large taxpayers", the adoption of a current CAS is mandatory. For some businesses that voluntarily choose to register, a computerized accounting system is, in many ways, beneficial in the preparation and maintenance of accounting records.

To meet accreditation requirements, a business must submit the following documentation requirements:

1. Completion of BIR Form 1900 Request for Permission to Use Computerized Accounting System and/or Components thereof/Loose Leaf Account Books, 2002 Enhanced Version and/or BIR Form 1907 (Request for Permission to Use Cash Register /Point of Sale Machine, 2002 Upgraded Version;

2. Company Profile, such as a photocopy of the BIR Registration Certificate, Previously Issued Permit, if applicable, and Current Registration Fee Payment;

3. Location map of the place of business;

4. Inventory of previously approved unused bills and receipts, if applicable;

5. List of branches that will use CAS BIR, if any;

6. For the technical requirements are as follows:

a. Name of the application and software used (development and database)

B. Functions and features of the application.

C. System flow/s

D. Process Flow

E. Backup Procedure, Disaster and Recovery Plan

F. Affidavit and Proof of Ownership of the System

G. List of Reports and Correspondences that can be generated from the system with their description, purpose and sample format

H. Facsimile of system-generated loose-leaf account books and list of same/receipts/invoices

7. Additional requirements in case of affiliated/sister companies, franchisees and branches:

A. Photocopy of the previously issued permit from the parent company, another branch that uses the same system, if applicable; and

B. Certification from the Computerized System Evaluation Team (CSET) that previously evaluated the approved system, if applicable.

The BIR SAWT will check the validity and completeness of the submitted requirements. If the requirements are complete, the application is endorsed to the CSET for review. The assessment is done through an actual system demonstration that focuses on how transactions are entered into the system, the mechanisms involved, and reporting as required by the business style BIR. This includes a summary of sales and purchases, journals, ledgers, transaction records, etc. After the demonstration, the CSET will raise the points of concern regarding the proposed CAS and these matters must be met. When met accordingly, the National Accreditation Board will approve and award a CAS accreditation certificate. Somehow adapting an accounting system needs to be carefully considered by a company, whether it is required to maintain CAS or plans to register voluntarily. An integrated accounting system must have the ability to address the needs of the business in running its day-to-day operations, whether domestically or internationally, as well as the ability to meet regulatory requirements. If the CAS accommodates both internal and external reporting, it will be valuable in contributing to the success of the company. One of the leading CAS-ready accounting platforms on the market today is mcframe GA. This system built by Business Engineering Corporation (BENG), a successful company from Tokyo, Japan, has arrived in the Philippines. Configured to suit different reporting requirements, mcframe GA has been dominating companies that are expanding their business globally. With a suite of strategic tools and features, meeting system-related CAS requirements has never been easier.

National Patient ID

In 2021, the US Senate has progressed on its initiatives on national patient ID. It has encouraged innovation by removing the "antiquated" legislative barriers blocking research into new strategies for unique patient identification from its most recent appropriations bill. It is said, in the long run, having a national patient identification (ID) number will contribute greatly in the provision of quality healthcare services. The implementation of national patient ID is also anticipated to resolve the following: misidentification; duplication, incomplete and inaccurate health records; unnecessary cost from patients; slow turnaround time in medical transactions. All for the provision of best care and to further facilitate continuity of care.

But no matter how much good it will bring, arguments have been also raised regarding: Patient privacy where when the national patient identification number is compromised, the patient’s entire health record would be easily accessible in one location; serious medical issues or mistakes that could arise from erroneous or duplicate number being assigned to patient with a different medical history-- may it be in the form of providing the wrong medications, testing procedures or other medical intervention; huge cost requirements for implementing the system (developing or modifying an existing system is said to be cost-prohibitive); significant amount of time and effort required in building the national system that will carry out such function; level of centralization and efficiency in the process being aspired for since a lot may still lack internet access in the far flung areas or may experience slow system connectivity due to limited signals between the government and health care providers in some remote areas. Simply put it that any information system will not thrive on poor technology settings. There will be huge implication and adjustment on policies and systems (public or private health information systems in place) also when once implemented.

The Philippines approved and issued in 2018, the Republic Act (RA) No. 11055 or “An Act Establishing the Philippines Identification System.” In the declaration of policies, it provides for the promotion of seamless delivery of service by establishing the national identification system. This is to improve the efficiency, transparency, and targeted delivery of public and social services. Likewise, it shall aim to enhance administrative governance, to reduce corruption, curtail bureaucratic red tape, and avert fraudulent transactions and misrepresentation. Moreover, it shall strengthen financial inclusion and promote the ease of doing business which is one of President Duterte’s primary directive. According also to the National Economic and Development Authority, the lead agency on implementing the System, as a foundational digital ID system, it will accelerate our transition to digital economy that enables a presenceless, paperless and cashless transactions.

In the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys), the person shall declare his or her name according to his or her birth certificate and other personal information. It will issue a unique serial number, which will be called the PhilSys Number or PSN that shall be issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority. The PSA takes seriously the privacy, security and integrity of the registered persons data. Thus, safeguards are to be set in place in compliance to Data Protection Laws of the country.

In relation to this development, PSN can be one of our best choices to be a national patient identification number in supplementation from the PhilHealth number vice versa, so as to ensure validation and authentication of electronic health or medical records. Moreover, since the National Telecommunication Commission has released the guidelines on RA No. 11202 or the Mobile Number Portability Act, we can also link this records to an individual’s permanent personal mobile numbers to allow authority to access strictly confidential health records whenever necessary or as needed. This gives the Owner of records a heads up for the security of files. Whenever a user is accessing personal files, it will allow immediate feedback/action when unauthorized access is encountered. Although, this may only aid in resolving privacy issues and may only apply to routine or usual daily transactions. Application of this method will differ most likely in emergency situations. To add, that privacy issues is only one concern compared to a lot cited here. I hope, with the COVID Pandemic, people are able to realize its benefit/advantages consequently outweighing its disadvantages. Soon, we would be able to figure out how to best implement this initiative tailor fit to the needs of our citizen and the healthcare delivery system of our country.

Pre-Stem Cell Harvest Thoughts

Forgive me for this long post as I have nothing else to do in the hospital but to wait until my stem cells can be harvested. I am on Day 15 at the hospital and hopefully soon, my stem cells can be harvested already then after a month, the stem cell transplant will happen. I have so many thoughts going on in my head that sometimes I could not sleep.

Will I beat cancer again?

Can my body handle all the toxic chemicals being infused for me to get better?

Will I ever not worry about cancer coming back?

Can my family ever recover from this sickness?

Why is it so hard to beat cancer?

When will I get out of this hospital?

When will I go back to work?

When does the suffering end?

Diagnosis

Being diagnosed the first time was the worst day of my life. And being diagnosed the second time around is the hardest and also the worst day of my life. Just after putting all my efforts in rebuilding my life, cancer struck me out of nowhere. I knew I had to be vigilant that’s why I never let a simple pain be forgotten. That’s how life is after cancer. I feel like I am walking on eggshells – I have to be careful not to trigger anything. What triggers cancer anyway? We wouldn’t know. I still don’t know. Since I got better, I have been living a somewhat “stress-free” life. My family and friends are very kind to not let me stress over simple things. I admit, I still eat what I want but I do it in moderation.

The second time I was diagnosed, my first thought was, “What about my work?” Back in 2016, I had to take a 6-month leave to finish my chemotherapy. Some people can still work while having chemo. Me, I can’t even walk on my own that time. I am so fortunate that the company I am staying with is very considerate with regards to my case. The support of my colleagues all over the world were tremendous! When I came back to work on January 2017, I still had to do radiations so what I did was to wake up at 5:00AM then proceed to the hospital so that I can start radiation by 7:00AM, finished by 8:15AM, get to work by 9:30AM just in time for my 10:00AM shift. That was a routine for 19 days straight. I was so relieved that finally, I am done with the treatments!!!! Now, my company is again very gracious to allow me to take a leave again for me to get better. I was devastated to take a leave because I was starting to work on a project, but I had to let it go as health is my priority. Back in my mind, I am feeling guilty for leaving my colleagues for an indefinite time and passing on my work to them. But deep down, I am so thankful for their understanding. I am relieved when they say “Don’t worry, just focus on your health and we’ll see you soon” all the time. You see, it is important for a cancer patient to still look forward for work. This motivates me to heal faster and get back on my feet the soonest.

Having Cancer in the Philippines

Coming from a middle-class family, earning my own money is a big deal. Just a few weeks after graduation, I started working and earning my own money to fund everything I want and need. I was financially independent. I’m not earning a huge amount, but it was enough to live a comfortable life.

My first diagnosis, we were told to prepare PhP750,00.00 for chemotherapy alone (not including other complications of chemo – which I had) I was unfortunately diagnosed with the expensive type of Lymphoma. I don’t even have enough savings to fund 1 cycle of chemotherapy.

My second diagnosis, a stem cell transplant is the recommended second line treatment for relapse in Lymphoma which costs around PhP 2.5 Million. Basically, I will be having an autologous stem cell transplant in which my own stem cells will be harvested, a high dose chemo will be given to kill the cancer cells, then my stem cells will return to me. Seems easy, right? But no, I had to undergo a total of 4 high dose chemo because the transplant can only be successful if I am in Partial or Complete Remission.

We were given two choices - to go with stem cell transplant or just go with 6 cycles of chemo. In comparison, stem cell transplant has the highest chance of cure compared with chemo alone. However, neither of them guarantees the cancer won’t come back. I asked helped from my friends in making a decision and one answer struck me the most, “No matter what the cost, I would do anything to increase my chances of living.” Although we do not have the money for the transplant, my parents never hesitated to push through with the procedure. “We will make it work,” they said. And for the past months, we did make it work through the help of so many angels.

I have joined many Lymphoma support groups all over the world and I am jealous of their health care system. They don’t have to worry about the cost of the transplant. Having a stem cell transplant in their country is not a question. It’s part of the procedure. While here in the Philippines, you have to think about it because it is not easy to shell out PhP 2.5M.

Here in the Philippines, PCSO gives medical assistance whether you are rich or poor. I believe that when one of your family member has cancer, it will always drain your savings. Processing PCSO guarantee letters is definitely not a walk in the park. I am lucky enough to have a brother and sister-in-law to process my papers instead of me going to PCSO. Imagine how many sick people line up as early as 3:00AM for them to secure the golden ticket in the form of a guarantee letter or medicines. It would take up your whole day! For some people, PCSO is their best way to survive the costly chemotherapy.

Miracles and New Beginnings

I would sometimes wonder what it would feel like to not ever worry about money which is an impossible world. Everyone worries about money. I remember telling my mom that with all the medical expenses we incurred, we could be millionaires right now. But then she told me, “None of them was ours. They were all given and donated for you to get better” Then it hit me how so many people are always willing to help. When I needed my first chemo immediately, my mom’s brother and friends willingly gave us money. When the bill was too high to be paid in cash, my mom’s friend went to the hospital and swiped her credit card. When there was a problem with my health card, my dad’s friends did everything to get it approved. Whenever we are about to be discharged from the hospital, help from my colleagues and friends would always come. I remember a dear friend of mine giving me P50,000.00 just because they have extra blessings in their family. Colleagues from Manila, Amsterdam, and Singapore pooled funds to help me with my medical bills. I receive so many messages saying that the only thing they can do for me is pray. Please know that prayers mean everything! I am blessed to have so many prayer warriors. I am deeply touched with the help I’ve been receiving. Even until now, my friends haven’t stopped creating fundraising events for my transplant. Miracles are indeed everywhere. You just have to stop and realize them.

Series of events led us to losing our house at the same time while I am battling cancer. It was heartbreaking. I kept on thinking why does these have to happen at the same time? With God’s grace, we were able to find a new place to stay immediately – as if it was handed to us without any glitches. I take this struggle as God’s way of telling us to start something new. I read a quote saying “You cannot heal in the same environment where you got sick” so maybe this is my new beginning.

Waiting Patiently

I am currently on my 15th day of confinement. I had 5 days of intensive chemo and now that my white blood cell count is down to 0.15, we are waiting for it to shoot up, so the stem cell harvest can be done. The waiting game is not easy. My counts are low, hence, I had a platelet transfusion and will be having a blood transfusion in a bit. I currently have a fever. My electrolytes are low too. For the past few days, some of you may know that I feel a bit down. I feel like I am not as strong as before when I was first battling cancer. I feel like I am so tired from everything. I just want to go home. But of course I will not stop fighting. I have so many angels standing with me in this fight and I won’t let them down.

I recently had a chat with one of the nurses that will handle my transplant. He was so informative because he told me what I should expect. Hearing his stories scared me. He said that when stem cells are transplanted back to me, I will experience a 40-degree fever, problems with the GI tract (this one is what I’m scared of the most), stomach pains, unable to eat anything to the point that my nourishments have to be given thru IV, that familiar feeling of weakness due to chemo but this time, it is more intense. The good news is, this will not last forever. I just have to endure the pain for a few days or weeks. But I admit, knowing these scared me so much that I had to cry to my parents.

I am almost there! I am wishing and hoping that I will be cured and cancer will never ever come back for my family.

Progressivism is the Change We Need

We need to change. For the better.

Let's stop being in the past.

I want the Philippines to prosper and become more progressive. Not strictly in an "economic" sense, but in our social issues and worldview.

While we are officially secular, religion remains omnipresent in society, especially in government. Our politicians use the Bible and misquote it to defend their own agenda. Tito Sotto is a prime example.

According to a Global Attitudes study conducted by Pew Research Center in 2015, 87 percent of Filipinos consider religion to be very important. The country was ranked 10th among the countries surveyed.

Our country has no nationwide laws passed protecting our LGBT brothers and sisters, since the SOGIE Bill would have to be debated in the Senate prior to its passage. Human Rights Watch wrote an article about homophobia's prevalence in Philippine institutions, particularly in scbools.

Although the US firm Pew Research Center ranks th PH as one of the most LGBT-friendly countries in the world, 61 percent of Filipinos oppose same-sex marriage in a survey conducted by Social Weather Stations. Our support for LGBTs is inadequate and skin-deep. Many Filipinos still hold traditionalist views on marriage amidst our rapidly changing society.

In a recent survey conducted by the same research firm, only a slim majority (53 percent) of Filipinos approve of the legalization of divorce. Aside from Vatican City, the Philippines is the only country in the world to not have recognized such procedure. Couples have to opt for annulment, which is a lengthy and exorbitant procedure.

The education system in the country must include teaching our students the values of liberty, equality and fraternity. Filipinos must be taught tolerance and open-mindedness at a young age to counter prejudice and bigotry.

We need to strengthen civil liberties and political freedoms. As of late, the state of our nation's democracy is vulnerable because of the pervasiveness of incompetent and unprincipled government officials, corruption, historical revisionism, extrajudicial killings, and the disregard of due process and the Constitution.

Creationism should no longer be taught in our schools. It is an evident fact that the universe did not begin through a "magic wand" or through religious stories. The Pope himself said this at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

Our society needs to evolve. We need to combat historical revisionism and the threats facing our nation's values and democracy.

The future of the country lies on the Filipino people, especially the progressive youth.

Embracing progressivism is one key action that would bring us forward, and counter traditionalism. Enlightenment is a necessary principle to defeat the omnipresent prejudice. We need become aware of democracy, open to new ideas and unorthodox proposals that would eventually benefit our populace.

There may be no perfect country, but we must seek to create a society that accepts non-conformity, change, and modernity.

Let's move forward and unite for a more tolerant, enlightened, and democratic Philippines.

House panel OKs tax, duty exemption for Covid-19 vaccines

#PHnews: House panel OKs tax, duty exemption for Covid-19 vaccines

MANILA – A measure seeking to exempt Covid-19 vaccines from duties and value-added tax (VAT) hurdled committee level at the House of Representatives.

During a hearing on Monday, the House Ways and Means Committee, chaired by Albay Rep. Joey Salceda, approved a consolidated substitute bill proposing to make the Covid-19 vaccines tax-free to ensure the fast, efficient, and safe delivery of the vaccines.

Salceda said all economic policy during the pandemic must be geared towards being a bridge to a Covid-19 vaccine.

“One day saved from the tax refund system, and one day of not having to deal with customs procedures is worth billions in economic output. As President Duterte said, when he cited a figure I calculated, we are losing some PHP20 billion pesos in economic output due to delays in vaccination. So, the revenue impact of these bills matters very little to me, in view of their overwhelming economic importance,” Salceda said.

Bagong Henerasyon Party-list Rep. Angelica Natasha Co, an author of the bill, said the government need not gain financially from the importation and distribution of the Covid-19 vaccines because the country's immediate gain is the "further reopening of the economy and onwards to the new normal" with the coronavirus still a lingering threat.

"Public health, public safety, and our economic security require that all impediments, including cost constraints, to the swift and effective implementation of the vaccination program, must be cast aside," Co said. (PNA)

40 HOME-BASED ONLINE JOBS IN THE PHILIPPINES | guideph.com

Are you one of those employees who are tired of the daily set-up of their work? Maybe this could be the time to leave your usual job and start a home-based online job set-up.

WHAT IS A HOME-BASED ONLINE JOB?

A home-based online job is a general term for any work completed outside the traditional office—at home, cafes, co-working spaces, or anywhere with an internet connection. It’s also referred to as a work-from-home job, remote job, or virtual online job.

Home-based workers carry out their responsibilities and tasks from home and usually stay in contact with the employer through phone or the internet.

A lot of home-based workers in the Philippines take an independent contractor or consultant role.

As non-employees of the company they’re working for, they have to pay taxes and government contributions on their own. They also aren’t entitled to government-mandated employee benefits such as 13th-month pay and holiday pay.

WAYS TO WORK FROM HOME

You can analyze and assess your competence before starting your career on a home-based online job to ensure the higher possibility of succeeding on this path. So, here are some ways on how can you generate profit in working from home.

1. Freelancing

Freelancing includes taking project-based jobs done within a specific period, ranging from less than a month to six months per project.

This work setup is the most flexible because freelancers aren’t tied to a long-term contract. They can choose to work at any time they’re available. Hence, freelancing is for people who want to make money on top of running a business or having an office job.

2. Telecommuting

Telecommuting offers the best of both worlds for employees who want to work from home yet don’t want to quit their day job.

Several companies like Meralco, Aboitiz, and Metro Pacific Investments Corp. implement telecommuting programs for their employees. Hundreds of other employers also allow their employees to telecommute at least one day per week.

Soon, telecommuting will be more of a norm than an exception in the Philippines, as the Telecommuting Act of 2017 or work-from-home bill is just awaiting President Rodrigo Duterte’s approval to become a law.

WAYS TO WORK FROM HOME

Work from home simply refers to the type of job wherein an employee is working from their house, apartment, or place of residence, rather working from the office. Just like freelancers, people who work from their homes offer their services as independent contractors or consultants.

The biggest difference is that working from home involves part-time or full-time work instead of project-based jobs.

This setup is ideal for those who want to become self-employed and to fully enjoy the perks of working from home. They earn regular income as opposed to freelancers who receive payments per completed project.

the hills have eyes

the hills have eyes album art words + art: e1 section: a51

I have been listening to Taylor Swift’s new album--folklore. An artistic masterpiece that was already hailed as a ‘classic’ and Taylor’s best album to date, folklore is possible about Betty and James, the previous owner of her Rhode Island apartment. She discusses the affair that James had with another woman in august, cardigan, mirrorball, illicit affair, exile, and the 1. She then turns to introduce the arch of James with songs, this is me trying, peace, epiphany, my tears ricochet, and hoax. Then towards the aftermath when James died in the war, leaving Betty and the woman that he had an affair with. She then discusses the aftermath of the affair with mad woman, seven (where she introduces herself as a young girl from Pennsylvania), invisible string, and then the last great american dynasty where Betty dies and Taylor buys the Rhode Island home.

I have decided to make my own folklore with the current statement of the PRO-7 chief. It is divided into three acts, each depicting the failure, the solution, and the aftermath.

ACT ONE:

The Failure features three different pieces about how the government failed to fight the virus.

stick in the mud: Stick In The Mud is an idiom which translates to a person unwilling to participate. During the first few weeks of quarantining, citizens were seen as the stick in the mud. Without acknowledging their needs and how to put food on their plates, people immediately saw the working class as a nuisance who are unwilling to participate. The elites always told them to be ‘positive’, disregarding the fact that of all the people who are struggling amidst the virus, they were one of the groups who have it the hardest.

This would then translate to the carelessness of the government. As time evolves, people are starting to see that perhaps the government is the problem. They have been focusing on other things such as renaming the airport, shutting down a major media company. Some have also used the pandemic for their political gain--politicising their assistance (when it was their job in the first place). Some also use the public funds to their personal use--they have been pocketing our taxes and try to appear transparent with their faux budget breakdown. Who pays almost (if not more than) 100,000 pesos for a few boxes of bottled water?

possible lyrics include: “I thought you were saving me but you left me in battle to fend for myself,” “I saw every version of yourself and I didn’t like any of them,”

collateral damage: Collateral Damage is a song where the government admits that people who have perished are just collateral damage. It is unintended for the most part but the government continuously believes that it is for the greater good. For the greeted good of what? We can’t consider the death of many as something that’s just there. They are not statistics. They have families and friends around them and no matter how much you put it--the carelessness of the government to the perish of the many is inhumane.

possible lyrics: “You tell me that it is what it is to make me feel better,” “I have lost myself and you’re still careless,” “It’s not collateral damage, it’s me,”

longest time Longest Time is a concept that I got from the official Instagram page of PAGASA. We are currently the country with the longest time in terms of lockdown and quarantine. We see no improvements whatsoever. We already have over 70,000 of COVID-19 cases in the country and the solution of the national government is to quarantine. It’s embarrassing, to be honest. This can also be translated into a different concept wherein a wave of old Duterte supporters and Marcos loyalists turn their backs and start to change their political ideology. They would then be more vocal about the oppressive state and would continuously educate themselves in order to know more about the truth that a lot of people believe in. To be honest, I consider education as a form of political participation because if they do so, then they have the capacity to criticise the government and ask for better plans, better solutions. In simple forms of voting and supporting a politician, they are able to make decisions that have the capacity to shape their lives.

possible lyrics: “I’ve been inside for the longest time and I’m losing my mind,” “Is it possible to change myself if I’ve been this way for the longest time?” “Am I too early or too late?”

ACT TWO: The section of this essay, The Solution, talks about the different problem proposals that the government and the public have.

word on the street Word on the Street is an idea that came to me while I read that the PRO-7 chief said that chismosas help in effective contact tracing. I don’t know why but this concept is so funny to me because even though it is possible that it could work, the idea is wild. It is a mockery of the worry of families. Contact tracing is an effective tool to contain the virus but it shouldn’t be dependent on hear-say alone. It is insulting to women as well because it posits a sexist stereotype that women are only good for gossip. There are smarter solutions to solve the problem we have. There are more scientific and precise ways and relying on gossip is laughable. Let us all quote Latrice Royal on the 4th Season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, “The level of unprofessionalism? Far too much.”

possible lyrics: “You can’t rely on the word on the street, full of lies and deceit,” “She poured her heart out to me but never poured me whiskey,”

gasoline: Inspired by the president’s insensitive ‘joke’ about those who cannot afford face masks, Gasoline interprets the insensitivity of the government and how his words ignite anger. Just this month, the president said that soaking face masks in gasoline is enough to disinfect them. He also recommended the use of bleach and alcohol as other alternatives. When people reacted to it, they said that it was just a joke. It is utter bullshit and it angers me. A lot of these people rely on the president to speak his truth and inform them and joking about that is disgusting. The thing is, I’m not sure if he said it in all seriousness to stop the hate towards him and just said that it was a joke as an excuse. It’s annoying and him continuously saying that doctors and medical practitioners are at fault for their incompetence is maddening to me. My mother and my sister are both doctors and him saying it was a personal attack to my loved ones who tirelessly work and attend webinars about the virus to inform their patients. My mother is a consultant in our provincial hospital and him saying that she was incompetent even though she has a high exposure angers me.

possible lyrics: “You came to me, fire meet gasoline, fire meet gasoline,” “You strike a match but have no fight within you,” “Gasoline, you’re suffocating me,”

ACT THREE: The Aftermath is a two-part section that focuses on the communication cycle between the government and the people.

muted Muted aims to paint a picture of a world with muted colours. It is a reflection of how the voice of the people make up the colours in the world and how muting them makes the world duller. It is also a concept about how freedom of speech is suffocating sometimes. It’s a song about how people are discouraged from political participation because of the reception that they receive from the polarising group. The approval of the Anti-Terror Bill disappointed me. It’s a limit to our freedom of speech. To be honest, I’m scared. I constantly disprove of the government through my social media and real-life interactions. I’m paranoid that someone might be wiretapping me right now. It’s a scary place to live in and nowadays, democracy is just a facade that masks the tyranny of the government. In this day and age, political participation can be unauthentic because we are forced to believe in one ideology. The concept that political participation should be feasible to all remains a concept.

possible lyrics: “I don’t like the bitter taste that wordlessness leaves on my tongue,” “It’s dull in my mind and dull in my eyes,” “Cloak and Dagger meets but I'm still muted,”

sign of the times

Sign of the Times is a song by Harry Styles where a mother dies in childbirth. It’s a sad story but it’s what I feel. With the oppression of the government, its procedures to limit public opinion, I feel as though democracy is dying. Styles didn’t really paint a picture on the topic of the song so I decided to make it more graphic. I will be using the terms “mother” to signify democracy and the Philippines. In this article, this will have the longest ‘possible lyrics’.

Tooth decay, water in your lungs Mother you are dying. You tell me that you wouldn’t be able to make it But I will.

Heart beating fast, thorns inside your body Mother, what’s gonna happen? Tears on your pillow from my eyes I am dying.

If we meet again somewhere, Will you remember me? You told me to be strong, and to be free But I don’t have the money

Smells like death, smells like dying Mother, I am sorry.

I’m wearing your cologne, I’m wearing your perfume

Mother, they're about to take me.
