Breaking Barriers Through English

Universal.  International.  Worldwide.  English is known wherever you go.

English has been a part of our daily lives.  We speak together with one language so as to understand one another even with diverse cultures.

Communications still have barriers.  That is why having one common language is very important.  I, myself, cannot talk to someone speaking in Niponggo.  My nose might bleed if I try to.

In business transactions, businessmen reject the investment if you do not understand one another.  Even in job opportunities, English proficiency is a requirement.  These are the barriers, and we should break these now through English.

Speaking in one common language could break all barriers.  Everything would be fine through English.  We cannot throw that language away.

Home.  Classroom.  Society.  Community.  Church.  Wherever you go, anytime of the day, you'd always be forced to speak in English.  And as days pass by, we should learn to speak by it, then speak from the heart.

English language is much helpful.

Break all barriers and reach for global competency!

Filipinnovation, The Way Forward

At present, there are too many scars obviously seen on our nation's name.  We cannot deny that the Philippines is controversial.  The recently done hostage-taking is a proof.  Therefore, how can we pull Philippine innovation upward?

As Mr. Francis J. Kong stated during the 8th National Leadership Training for Student Government Officers at Teachers' Camp, Baguio City, "rest, if you must... but don't you quit."  I strongly agree with what he believes.  Let us stand first where we are right now and try to cure the scars that we are currently enduring.  Then, we'll be trying to set goals, definitely take risks, and will concentrate on reaching our goals.  We have the guts, we have the courage.

I, myself, can  no longer bear how other nations insult Filipino people.  Well and good, it's not sarcasm.  We, Filipinos, do not mind their own businesses.  Why couldn't they just leave Filipinos alone?  Maybe we'll be having more spaces to grow if they'll just mind their own.

As other nations rise up with innovations, I do envy them.  But then, I remind myself how lucky we, the children of today, and are the hope of tomorrow.  If we would just love our country, there's no doubt about introducing new inventions and discoveries.  We should use our intelligence well, and utilize our available resources.

In the Philippines, we receive quality education.  There are many research institutes established.  There are many institutions built for students aiming for new innovations.  If we would just use these establishments wisely, we'll rise and shine like other countries do nowadays.

Many are the hallmarks of inventions.  We apply these, and new discoveries will be introduced.  Today, Philippines is lacking of productive citizens.  To be able to feed this need, we have to start moving upward as soon as possible.  We have set our goals. Now, we have to step onto a higher ladder.  Take risks because there is no shortcut to success.
