My Experience with the K-12 Program K-12 might not be one of the solutions to the ongoing rant about applying for a job in the Philippines because most companies or employers look for people to have a Bachelor's degree in a specific field. Fresh graduates are welcome to apply to most companies, even though some are in competition with those who have work experience. I was one of the products of the K-12 program. I was one of the first batches to graduate from such a specific…
The Mysterious Death of Nida Blanca Nida Blanca, also known as Dorothy Guinto Jones, was born in 1936 and launched a brilliant career in the entertainment sector in the 1950s. She rose to prominence for her role in the Philippine television sitcom John en Marsha, which aired from 1973 until 1990.

As wealth has something to do with the economy, most people see those who earn lower than them as people who are also under them and think that they are better than them. A person's dignity, as the subject of respect, is traditionally based on an individual's ability to think and get a measure of independence.…
Juveniles as Adults in Crimes Juvenile is the other term for young people. In most cases, it refers to people who are under the legal age of either 18 or 16, or 15, in some countries. People call them kids, which I think is the right thing but only because of their age and not because of how they think. I know some kids who are better liars than me. I also know kids who are still innocent in life, which I prefer that way even if their ages are 13 and below. Some kids take…
Does Religion Have A Place in the Government? From the get-go, I honestly believe that any form of religion shouldn't have cared for the government. The government should not have any law that involves the reason why it was or should be implemented is because of a belief in a religion. State and church are like a couple that has a difficult time living together but realizes they can't live apart. A married couple doesn't always experience rainbows and ponies. They also…
Is College Education Essential? Every year, parents and students ask if it is worthwhile to engage in attending college. It's not just the students who will take the challenge of attending college but also the parents as they are the ones involved in taking care of their child in terms of finances and advice. Not all the time is that an incoming college student already knows what to do in a university. I went to my entrance exam at the university I attended with my mother…

The Causes of Inflation Rate The inflation rate is amongst the most well-known economic terms. It is described as the pace at which a country's currency falls and, as a result, the general impact of prices of commodities rises. It is usually a broad metric, such as that of the general price spike or the cost of living in a country.

Does Technology Makes People Intelligent? Whenever we speak about technology, we're talking about finished items. It might be a mechanical device or anything made to confine stuff. I've been introduced to the world through technology since I was a child, and I've already been exposed to a wide range of things. When my mother was still working for the government, I recall playing Super Mario on a computer and some Pokémon games. However, it was the transition from floppy…
Bullies Should be Banned in Schools Bullying is a common form of aggressiveness that happens often in schools. Bullying in schools has only been a source of public concern and scholarly inquiry ever since the early 1980s. Bullying usually occurs next to other kids, who play a vital role in bullying episodes, hence bullying may be more common in distinct classes or decades than in others. And since kids who tend to follow what they see, are becoming bullies because of the…
Death Penalty as a Punishment For pro-life advocates, the death sentence is the pinnacle of harsh, barbaric, and humiliating punitive action. Ever since the beginning of mankind on Earth, virtually all nations have utilized the death penalty to execute lawbreakers and dissidents. The populace's attitude toward the death sentence differs significantly by area and offense. Every day, individuals are killed or condemned to death by the state as punishment for a wide range of…

What Waits After Graduation? I thought that when I step foot on the stage for my graduation to receive my diploma is the start of the best next years of my life, but I was wrong. It was the beginning of a whole completely different new chapter which was more terrifying than I thought it would be. The college has been a big part of my life. Not only that I got to develop skills that I wanted even before Senior High School, but I met a lot of people who made some big impacts…
Single-Mother Discrimination Given their social and monetary vulnerability, single moms are more likely to experience different adverse health outcomes. Trying to balance all of their tasks and obligations in a one-person household presents challenges for single parents.
