We can only
be betrayed by people we trust. What’s
sad is that we live in a world of rampant betrayals. Do we simply stop trusting or continue to hope
that people will change? The reality is
there are people whom we cannot trust.

There Is More To Helping The Needy Than Giving Money
Written by JP Carlos
Have you
experienced walking pass by people sprawled on the sidewalk waiting for your
spare change? Have and it is
unsettling. In the Philippines, some
would go to public transport and hand you an envelope hoping that you’d give
some cash to them. Truth is, I do not
want to give cash to them. Although
refusing to give them cash breaks my heart, I know that it is for the
best.

Is Kissing On The First Date Too Much?
Written by JP Carlos
It is been a while since I got in the dating scene. Well, for one I am married. And probably I won’t do well with the changes in the dating behaviors that I see now. For one, kissing on the first date seems to be a norm now. Or perhaps I’m just a witness to really passionate people going out for the first time. But would you kiss on the first date?

Beautiful
Written by Mikaela Nicole Tiu
I live in the 21st century – a world of freedom, a world of liberty, a world for the people. Ever since I was born, I knew and observed that each person around me had the freedom to say whatever he or she wanted, had the rights, and could do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. This is the epoch of independence, and has been this way for so many, many years. I thought this was how the world revolved, each and every person joyfully walking around with their own wants and no guided future, because I was a mere child back then and I was trapped in my own personal childhood bubble of dolls, petty games, and everyday monotony only children like me would find amusing.
Oh, how wrong was I.

THE CAUSE OF DISCRIMINATION
Written by M. Te
Nigger, niggah, black guy, yellow, Asian, white, have you heard of these terms? I am pretty sure you have. Discrimination has been a major issue all around the world. People discriminate each other which all result into a fight or war. People always find that they are the better race. There was never a single day in our world now without a war. It was mostly caused because of discrimination between the different races.

Gain MONEY to stop POVERTY
Written by Tyrone Tan
Do you know what poverty is? Is it very important? Well, let me introduce you what poverty really is. Poverty is one of the main problems in a country. It is when certain people lacks money for their daily lives. Money is one of the most important things is a person’s life. Without money people wouldn’t afford their basic needs in life like food, clothes, shelter, medicine and education. Corruption of our government is one reason of poverty. We need to stop poverty because it is enlarging and it could be more serious later on.

Efforts to Mitigate the Consequences of Climate Change

This Stereotypical World of Ours
Written by Keith Santos
I .Introduction to Stereotypes.
I will be here to share my opinion about a world issue that isn’t really noticed easily by just looking at the world or an issue that is seen through a psychological perspective. This world issue is about Stereotypes or people who discriminate others. Now what exactly is a stereotype? It is when a person thinks of the whole group of somethings or some people the same just because of the actions of one individual from that certain group. Now you may wonder why this is such a bad thing or how it was dubbed as a Worldwide issue, that’s a long explanation. Unlike those nuclear weapons or terrorism that gives an immediate reaction or suddenly alerts the world, being stereotypical can cause plenty of misunderstandings, Discriminations and false information over time. Sad to say some of these Ideas have existed a long time.Equality in the World
Written by Sofia Reyes
Gender inequality is considered a world issue because of the unequal treatment of genders. In business, male would get a higher salary than men because they say that he earns for the family. Some female workers work harder than male workers but then they still get a lower salary. Imagine this, a student studied hard for a quiz but then she failed, on the other hand, her seatmate just use a cheating technique then she failed. Isn't it unfair? If this happend to you what would you do?

"Gender inequality? Lets kill that thing"
Written by N. Ranay
Intro- what is gender inequality?
Gender inequality is really big issue today. Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. It happens all the time. It may happen anytime and anywhere. You can even be a victim of this issue. This is really harsh. We should STOP this!Gender Equality is Better
Written by Dave Pua
Have you heard about gender inequality? This a very serious case when it comes too gender. I experienced it myself. Like when one of my girl classmates slaps me for some apparent reasons. She could've said something about not repeating it again. But instead, she slaps me. When the wife or girlfriend is spoiled and they want everything, the male feels bad you know, but there are not just showing it. They just do not want to offend their girlfriend or wife.

Ebola V.S. The World
Written by Thomas Dominick Ong
Ebola is a very dangerous, life threatening disease that we do not fully understand yet. This is why we are alarmed by the recent outbreaks and are frightened about the outbreaks that are coming. You must be asking yourself “what is Ebola?” well let me answer that question; Ebola in humans is actually four kinds of viruses from the genus Ebolavirus. The four are Bundibugyo virus, Sudan Virus, Tai Forest Virus, and one just called Ebola virus (EBOV). However some of you might go search online and see that there are five viruses. The fifth, Reston virus, does not affect humans but has caused disease in other primates

Why Gender Inequality is Horrid to Unity
Written by S. Ong
Gender inequality is bad! Gender inequality is simply the unequal treatment of a gender. This is either treating women better or treating men better. Gender inequality existed even in ancient times and until now, it has not stopped. It is truly hard to stop gender inequality in the world, because influences of other tradition(that has gender inequality) may influence others of different types of gender inequality.

Kyoto 2.0
Written By Camille Ong
If someone takes up the topic ‘global warming’ in a conversation, most would react with annoyance. They would think this topic again? Well, yes. I feel like this topic is not to be thrown aside just because it is so often talked about. In fact that is precisely why I will be talking about global warming. The reason the issue never dies down is because global warming hasn’t been solved yet. However, there are people who do care about the Earth enough to try to find the solution. Many all over this world try to save the planet they share. You and I share it with them but are we doing something to save it?

Looking the Wrong Way
Written by Julia Rafaelle T. Martinez
Mankind has once again reached a milestone that will change the world as we know it. On the recent November 12, 2014, an unmanned probe on a moving comet called 67P or Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The probe, named Rosetta, after the Rosetta Stone, had taken seven hours before deploying a smaller robot called Philae on the comet. Landing the probe, who had been tailing the comet for ten years in space, had been difficult due to the fact that the comet does not slow down or stop and that it has a rotating axis; in other words, the landing point was constantly on the move.

Fruit Bat Virus
Written by Reese Gabrielle Lim
As we already know, a deadly virus is once again spreading all around the world. This is the ebola hemorrhagic fever, more commonly known as ebola. This virus came from fruit bats. The most recent outbreak started in West Africa and is currently the worse we experienced ever since it has been discovered on 1976. A lot of people have already died from this disease as it is very contagious and worse of all, there is no cure yet. Everyone is trying their best to stop the spread of the disease and I believe we will be able to get rid of the virus very soon. Although it has not reached our country, we still should take care of ourselves and be ready to help others.

Why You Should Not be Afraid of the Ebola Virus
Written by G. Lim
Ebola has currently been one of the most trending issues worldwide. Mostly because it is a disease that gives a very high chance of dying and the average human is really afraid of death (who isn’t?). The Ebola Virus has been present around 1976 (that’s pretty long) and has many outbreaks ever since. The current outbreak originated from West Africa and is now spreading worldwide. Here are some reasons why Ebola is something we should not be afraid of.

The Fad About a Disease
Written by Jazlyn Ko
I’m sure you’re familiar with the ever so famous ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. (But in case you don’t I’ll explain its mechanics) Once you’re nominated, one has two options. The first is to donate 100$ to ALSA.org to help fund research for the said disease. The second is record yourself dumping a bucket of ice cold water on your entire body to help spread awareness on social media within 24 hours. Of course, you have the option to perform both options. The ALS Ice Bucket challenge was no doubt a hit and was very famous for quite a period of time.

Painting the World Green
Written by P. Go
One galaxy, eight planets, seven continents, and thousands of people in each one; and yet less than a third of it does anything to help save our word. We, as the people living on this world, should know that it’s the only one we’ll ever live in (and by chance, if we do somehow make it to mars before my life is over, I’d still rather die on the planet I was born on then go to any other). If we don’t take the chance to make change that’s always been there soon, we probably never will.

Racism

Racism is already a big issue before, and now it’s still ongoing. Society judge people and they don’t think before they say anything that would hurt that person. They don’t put themselves into one’s shoe and think what they would feel if they said this or that. We can’t judge people based on what they look like or what skin tone they have because it is not their fault so why judge them? We do not have the right to judge.

Have you ever wondered why some people result to committing suicide due to people insulting him because of his gender? If not, then you are probably not yet that familiar of the issue today which is gender inequality. So what exactly is gender inequality? Gender inequality is a “practice” in which people show unequal rights to each gender. It is also considered as showing unequal treatment to an individual because of his/her gender. It is an issue today that could make a person feel bad about himself. This is why we have to stop gender inequality in our world.

The news
about corruption in the Philippine government is simply embarrassing. The extent to which this deplorable act is
perpetrated is both shocking and disheartening.
Plunder cases have been filed against top officials like the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, Philippine Presidents and Senators. Even the local government’s officials have
managed to steal, get kickbacks and abuse their authority for personal gains.
Is there even a chance to stop these atrocities done to the Filipino people?

Hope for A World Addicted To Sex And Violence

Many say that entertainment and media reflects society. On the other hand, some would argue that society is influenced by what it sees. Regardless, sex and violence is much a part of the entertainment industry. Likewise, an increasing number of sex and violence related events have plagued our world. The effects show in daily life, values, and beliefs. Unfortunately it can ruin lives. Immediate and decisive actions should be put in place because right now, what is being done is not enough.

Sustainable Economic Growth for The Philippines: Not in the Near Future
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Philippines had the most favorable projected growth rate at 6.2 percent from 2015 to 2019 among the ASEAN nations. The statement by the Paris-based organization was made during the ASEAN Trade and Investment Summit in Burma. Of course this announcement heralds the potential growth in the country’s business sector. But a troubling truth remains – can projections turn into reality?
