iWitness "Kalam"

After watching iWitness awhile ago I suddenly realized how important it is to not to waste anything especially your food. iWitness "kalam" or hunger is a real eye opener for me. It shows the real life of a poor family on how they trying to survive each day. I felt pity for those people and I hope our government will do something about it. Imagine a family who only eats rice and salt every day. The head of the family is a fisherman but there are days that he can't catch anything which means no food for his family. Children are luck if they have coffee that they can drink every morning otherwise they will go to school with an empty stomach. I questioned myself how come our government is not doing anything to help these poor people. Well they think they are doing something which is to help the people learn how to do family planning and use contraceptives. They say over population increases poverty but I personally think that over population is not the reason why lot of people are not eating properly. Come to think of it the family that I have mentioned has I beleive four children. Let' say their parents tried family planning so instead of having four children they only have two do you think they will not be on the same situation if they only have to children? They father a fisherman sometimes could not catch any fish or crab at all an aside from being a fisherman they don't have any other source of income. Well they collect firewoods that they can sell for 15 Php per bundle so you can say they earn at least 50 Php a day do you think their situation would be better if they have only two children instead of four? I but not it would still be the same. But what if, their parents we're given a chance to learn something that will help them have a good source of income let's say a skills program or anything. Do you think their situation will be better? Well there is a big chance because they will be given an opportunity to improve their lives and feed their childrenn properly.

Sa Piling ng Wala: 'Sandra Aguinaldo's Kalam 1

No to RH Bill

A lot of people are talking about this bill that they are eager to pass and that's what they call RH Bill (Reproductive Health Bill) Sounds good right? But the impact of that bill is not as good as it sounds. Of course there are supporters of the said bill and there are people who opposes the bill (like me). But I just want to express my side. We understand that all of us wants to lessen poverty. Some say it is because of our country's big population that is why many are poor. I won't deny that most of the people in our country are poor but do not agree that they are the reason why we are poor. Number one is to eliminate corruption and to have a government wise enough to spend our country's money to education, employment, and agriculture not on contraceptives and sex education. Family planning can be carried out by department of health and we don't need to file a separate bill just to focus on family planning. Separate bill means money which means our national budget will be stretched to give way to this bill. Once the bill is passed we have a budget to RH Bill but the budget for agriculture, education, and whatever it is will be reduced because of the said bill. Not just because I am a Catholic that I oppose to this bill but because I believe that we should promote and love life because it is gift from God. I am not a good speaker but I am just expressing my thoughts. They always attack the Catholic church for they said that they are the reason why we oppose to the said bill. But don't they know that it is just not Catholic peeps who are against the said bill? There are Catholics that support this bill. I don't agree giving sex education to kids (grade 5 students to be exact). Before I just know that I oppose to this bill but after I watched the video below everything is clear to me now. I am AGAINST RH BILL. 

Workout, Diet, What to do?

It is obvious that I am gaining weight. My friends keep on telling me that I’ve gained weight and I’m tired of hearing that all the time. I am not always conscious about my weight and body figure (guess I’m satisfied for what I am). Anyway, just today I decided to go to the gym everyweek to burn some fat. Some said walking is enough and some say dancing is a good exercise to shape up. Now I’m confused for all I want to do is to loose some weight. I’m quite lucky because I don’t need to spend money to go to a gym because we have one where I work plus we have personal trainer who can guide us on what to do. Now all I need to think of is what to wear and what to eat so that my effort to go to the gym will not be wasted.  I guess I need to avoid pizza (which is really hard for me) and sweets.  Obtaining your ideal weight requires sacrifice… hmmm this is going to be hard for me.
