         <description><![CDATA[<div>Racism- Because as a POC or people of color, it’s really important to take a stand against this certain topic because not only racism affects us negatively but also those people who are not apart of western country or not “white”. Racism affects our daily lives, how people see and view us, and how they treat us. It is important to fight for our rights as a POC if we want to have a positive experience in western countries. Being silent against racism doesn’t help in abolishin it but it only encourages people to push their immoral ideologies against POC who have been oppressed by western medias for a long time- Camacho, Iyah Mariel </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Cyber ​​bullying is a serious social issue nowadays. For that reason the time is now; most people are already using social media. So it is very easy for people to abuse online, because they have the courage not to show their faces.&nbsp;</div><div>People need to stand up to protect the victims of cyber bullying. Victims may have severe mental illness, if it still occurs victims may have severe anxiety or depression. We need to take actions to help the victims. If this is not acted upon immediately, the victim may embark on a suicide attempt because help is not forthcoming.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>Animal cruelty is a serious social issue</em></strong> that affects animals, families, and communities. Animal cruelty involves physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, and staging animal fights. In our society right now, people should take a stance for the animals who are abused, rather than ignoring their cries and how painful it is to hear them suffer. <strong>Animals have no voice and cannot ask for aid, therefore if you encounter animal mistreatment, please take a stand and defend them. And immediately report it to the authority!&nbsp;</strong></div><div><br><strong><em>Animals, regardless of species, should not be abused!<br></em></strong><br>Publish by: Jasmine C.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Personally, I think in our country there's a large population of people who oppress the lgbt community (homophobia) as a part of their daily basis, and that should not be normalized or even happen. As stated in the picture I inserted, lgbt rights are also basic HUMAN RIGHTS. They should recieve respect and rights as how straight cis men and female recieve. SOGIE bill is an example of giving rights to people who are part of the community. Though, we have that bill passed in our country, there are still large population of people who make fun or discriminate people because of their sexuality. We should take stand on this social issue since it is getting out of hand, for example is in a filipino household, most fathers don't allow their sons to be gay, they will beat up their son to be "straight" again. This situation can lead more far worse like suicidal. Let people live the way they want and how they choose to be.&nbsp;<br><br>Jhoanna Orio (8:23 a.m)</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>All of us should be aware that all gender is equal. But sometimes, people tend to forget that women also have the capabilities to lead and to have a voice. This has been an issue for a very long time. Since the beginning, people have seen women as weaker than men. That we don't have the strength like men, but If we look at each other as equal, we will have unity in this world. Women Leadership is something that we have been lacking for a very long time. Our stand on this social issue matters for the future of our world. We can speak about this social issue today, tomorrow, or future. It does not matter when. What matters is we take action and stand up for this social issue.<br><br><strong>- Dani Dumbrique&nbsp;</strong></div>]]></description>

         <title>For me, the social issue that my country face today is the politics. We need to stand firm and face it because it is for our future, for our own goods and for the future of our country and our people. We need to speak up and state the facts in order to help other people especially the one who can vote, to help them decide who or what side they are  willing to vote in. Facts can’t lie. The future of our country and our people are in their hands, so vote wisely.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>Racism </em></strong><em>- because right now in our society especially in our country racism is a big factor in our lives. Many Filipinos use whitening products because they despite their own skin color. Because they think that being more white is prettier than having a dark skin and this all started a long time ago back in our ancestor where we are colonize by Spanish, and it’s been pass down through generations. At that time Filipinos think that Spanish people are white because their not exposed to the sun much and doesn’t have a heavy work to do, unlike them. Racism in other countries to is a big factor that’s way we all should help one other and stop this Racism.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>[Family Planning]</div><div>&nbsp;Dep-Ed must recognize that sex education is important to be implemented in every school in the country.&nbsp; Because of the noticeable boom in the population of the Philippines caused by unprotective sex. We know that in our country our religion is a majority of Catholics and adults would find it a taboo thing because we are “conservative”... Teenagers nowadays are the victims of this, actually, the parents are also affected. In spite of that, it’s for the better of all to be open-minded when it comes to this type of topic. Head of the schools' organization must do their job in protecting and educating us kids about our situation and help us. To prevent young teens from being impregnated at a young age. And avoid further consequences that would affect the country. Such as poverty, unemployment, youth exploitation, and other crimes. Our generation is about modernity and advanced technologies our government must take this as an advantage in coping up, with our current issues.</div><div>WATCH THIS VIDEO FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING:</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This was already a problem prior to the pandemic. Now, people are&nbsp; being forced to stay at home due to the pandemic. However, not every home is a safe place for everyone. When we know someone who is being abused in their home, we must learn to intervene and take a stand.&nbsp;Abuse not just comes along with physical abuse. it can also be mentally, emotionally, and sexually. This causes a great deal of trauma and damage to the person. Suicide is also a result of this, with people taking their own lives to end the pain. Whatever and whoever you are in life, whether you are a woman, a man, a non binary person, queer, young or old, we must learn to stand up to end abuse.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Most of our country's people are suffering from gender inequality. In which&nbsp;<strong>Gender inequality</strong> refers to the unequal and biased treatment of persons based on their gender. This imbalance exists as a result of socially created gender roles. It occurs when a person of one gender is treated differently or less favorably than a person of the opposite gender in the same situation.&nbsp;In most situations, especially for women, there is an ingrained belief that males are simply better able to do particular tasks. Most of the time, those are the highest-paying occupations. So&nbsp;Women's income is reduced as a result of this inequality.&nbsp; As a result, we must all acknowledge that gender inequity damages both genders.&nbsp;</blockquote>]]></description>

         <title>HATE CRIMES AGAINST ASIANS - Athena Noces</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Hate Crimes Against Asians, in my opinion, is a social issue on which individuals should take a stand.</strong> In every country, many Filipinos are victims of hate crimes. The majority of them are elderly and women. According to new data, hate crimes against Asian-Americans have reached previously unheard-of proportions. Asian-Americans are afraid to come out because of hate crimes. Even travelling to the subway is a cause of fear for them because many Asians get attacked on the subway. <strong>Discrimination of this type must be eradicated in many countries. Nobody likes to be treated unfairly or to be hurt by others. Asian-Americans are traumatized and fearful as a result of such actions. If we want to be respected, we must learn to respect our fellow humans regardless of their color, nationality, or race. We must treat them with the same respect with which we would like to be treated. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that, and hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."</strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Millions of people die each year, increasingly from unhealthy coping mechanisms for their psychological fatigue caused by dealing with unrealistic social expectations and other socio-economic issues. It's a widely seen phenomenon that society perceives as a sign of ignorance. However, in a broad observation, you can understand that <strong>this is just another issue of failing contemporary capitalism. <br></strong><br>The most common example of these actions is alcohol poisoning, drug overdose, and suicide. <br><br>However, controlling economics and getting into the ethics of political science is a complicated thing to do as a fix. The only solution to address the underlying causes is to reduce the risk factors of despair itself in general. A good example people can help is through donations to Programs that reduce community violence, create safe, supportive schools and quality learning experiences, address poverty and discrimination, and promote access to secure housing and employment opportunities that can decrease adverse experiences and build resilience.<br><br>&nbsp;The nation should also expand substance misuse prevention and mental health programs in schools by increasing the number of schools that get education for responding to childhood trauma. Schools should also consider scaling up evidence-based life skills and coping-skills programs. <br><br>Schools should also assist families of the children who have experienced trauma since exposure to trauma adverse life experiences at young ages increase the potential for psychological issues that could lead to misuse and suicide.<br><br>Don't let more crises develop. <br><br><strong>Palmos</strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This issue has been enormous damage to our country and the whole world. Sexual Harassment is another issue that we should stand on. And I know that this issue is worth sanding for because I have a personal experience with catcalling. And that traumatic experience makes me stronger every day. And it made me who I am today, a strong woman that will stand up for the victims of Sexual Harassment. We should stand for this because women's freedom is still limited today. We are still threatened by the disrespectful acts of the people around us. If we look at each other equally and know how to show respect, this issue won't exist. So how can we stand up for this? The change in our perspective is a big help to fix this issue. The change for our world always starts with us. And I don't want other women to experience what I have experienced before. The disrespect against women is poisoning the world every day. What happened to me can happen to everybody. So we should stand up, speak and take action. <br><br>- <strong>Dani Dumbrique&nbsp;</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>There is only one thing that can save our world, and that is the youth. Their youth are speaking, but they don’t have someone to listen to them. And it’s our duty to listen to them, because the future of our world is in their hands . Their voices should not be silenced because they have the every rights to speak about their opinion. Their words of wisdom is what we need to change our world. We should not underestimate the capabilities of the youth. Being young is not a weakness, because their voice is the strongest weapon that can make our world united and leads us toward peace. Just like today in Ukraine, many children are struggling for their future and they are voiceless but I know that there is still a courage in our hearts and we should speak for them, because they are the future of their country. Another example is the educational crisis here in the Philippines. Every child deserves to have educational experiences but some are silenced because of poverty. As a Filipino I should help them, because they are the and the future of my country.<br>- <strong>Dani Dumbrique&nbsp;</strong></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Almost all the people around the world nowadays use technology. By the time they wake up in the morning using their phone, after eating lunch, driving in a car, or simply attending a meeting, they are already using technology. Technology has been in our life over a decade. The situations that I mentioned almost happen to every people in this world. As you can see, technology is making our life easier. But on the other side, it can also make our life more difficult. I’m not saying that technology isn’t helping us, but it is also important for us to know the Ethical Issues of Technology. There is one ethical issue that we should focus on. And that is the Misusage of personal information. As they say, “Personal Information is gold.” Because these are important, our identification and credentials are what we should protect for our safety. Ordering on Amazon requires our credit card number, address, and phone number. These are our personal information, but we have no choice because we are ordering online. So these credentials will be stored in a database. That’s why we should be careful and aware of using our personal information for our safety. Sometimes we ask ourselves if any people are watching us while using technology. Because the things we search in google can easily pop up in advertisements in other applications. And this will shock us because how did it know what am I interested in . But in fact, computers have designed algorithms that it follows, and they can store things that we search for. That’s why the advertisement we seeare connected to some things we are interested in. In short, the real product of technology is us. It is not the advertisement. Because the technology itself knows what we’re interested in. Because we put our personal information inside, that’s why we can easily be controlled by technology.<br>- <strong>Dani Dumbrique</strong></div>]]></description>

         <title>CHILD ABUSE - Hazel Rodrigo</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Child Abuse is a social issue on which I believe our country should take action. </strong>Because of their abusive parents, today's youth are depressed and stressed. Some parents are abusive towards their children, even hurting them without cause. Many abusive parents sexually abuse their children.&nbsp; Every year, over 7,000,000 Filipino children are sexually molested. Between the ages of ten and eighteen, more than 70% of sexually assaulted children are. 20 percent of those killed are children under the age of six. If they are not sure or ready to have a child, they should either wait or use protection, in my opinion. Frequently, their children are held responsible for everything that happens to them. They harm children even when they do not concur with what is going on.<strong>“Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun; not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul.”<br><br></strong><em>Rodrigo, Hazel</em></div>]]></description>

         <title>Toxic Femininity and Toxic masculinity </title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Our society develops this cultural definition of a <strong>distorted perception of what a real woman and a real man are</strong>. We are raised to believe that the <strong>idea of masculinity revolves around the narrative that masculinity exhorts strength, power, and authority and femininity revolves around gentleness, genuineness, warmth, long hair, and pink skirts. <br></strong><br>It's tiring to keep hearing your parents say, <strong>"A real man doesn't cry" or "A real woman doesn't curse.</strong> This general idea has been around for centuries and portrayed in movies, songs, folktales, religion, mythology, etc. <br><br>Like the movie <strong>fight club by David Fincher</strong>, I admit that probably that's one of the greatest films I've ever seen. Although that movie is famously<strong> misunderstood</strong>, young men take it as a guide on how a man should act which the movie depicts as<strong> aggressive, destructive, and oppressive. </strong><br><br>More Films people take wrongly about this are Martin Scorsese's The wolf of wall street, Mary Harron's American Psycho, Mark Water's mean girls, Amy Heckerling's Clueless. All of these films are Great movies but from another perspective, it unintendedly promotes the wrong idea. <br><br><strong>The negative effects</strong><br>Anyone whose still under this unhealthy idea exhibits that anything of the opposite gender's attributes is a threat to their status. That if they can't attain this level of femininity or masculinity, they think society will judge them and discriminate against them which puts them under pressure and competition so they make it their obligation and promotes it which can manifest insecurities and low-self esteem, which could lead to them to have psychological issues that could affect their general well-being and on how they behave around people.<br><br><strong>Why does this happen?</strong><br>In a personal observation, I speculate that since early outdated studies or observations show how the male sex is biologically stronger than the female sex, it is expected that men should act tougher than women and that idea just manifests in human behavioral and psychological development through years affected by the environment we lived in.&nbsp; <br><br><strong>What can we do about this?</strong><br>One of the reasons why this still happens is because of how children are raised and taught about how a specific gender should act and that being homosexual is a disgrace, against beliefs, and still is a taboo because it breaks gender norms. <strong>Deceiving a growing child to your own personal&nbsp;beliefs is wrong</strong>, <strong>even if you experienced it yourself firsthand. W</strong>hat ever the kid learns in their childhood affects everything about their life growing up, how they treat people, how they blend in, how they will get their job, how they will live life. Instead,<strong> we should teach children moral independent thinking and the values in life that are not based on your beliefs</strong>. Teach children about gender ethics and other philosophies. And teach children to be <strong>open-minded</strong>.<br><br>Sooner if people start to become more flexible about these things, we'll feel free from these toxic ideologies.<br><br><strong>Palmos</strong></div>]]></description>

         <title>War on Drugs - Jener De Belen</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>Since taking his office on June 30, 2016, The Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has waged a "war on drugs" that has killed over 12,000 suspected addicts and drug dealers; which others said were from the urban poor. The Philippine National Police has been blamed for at least 2,555 of the fatalities. In a campaign that arguably amount to crimes against humanity, PRRD and other senior officials have provoked and incited the killings.&nbsp; Police are manipulating evidence to justify unlawful killings, according to Human Rights Watch study. Despite the mounting calls for an investigation, PRRD has pledged to press on with his campaign. This issue should not be forgotten many people have lost their lives due to false accusations of people under government and other people. It is so sad that most of the people who died in this campaign were poor and do not have enough money to protect themselves from police false accusations. These people who died due to false accusations need our voices and support, to claim justice for them for their families. It is not easy losing your loved ones let us keep this issue alive and give liabilities to the people who use their power to kill poor people without proper investigation and lawful justice.<br><br>- De Belen</div>]]></description>

         <title>Teenage Pregnancy - Isabella Natividad</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Teenage pregnancy has many negative impacts in the Philippines: babies from this case may result in <strong>poor health outcomes</strong> and may be a threat to the country's economic growth and pregnant adolescents are less likely to <strong>complete higher education</strong> and have lesser ability to earn more income, causing economic losses to the country. The government labelled it a national <strong>social emergency</strong> in 2019. However, the issue became worse amid the coronavirus pandemic. Teenage pregnancy had already affected many lives, from the mother, father, and even both families. We should take a stand on this social issue to protect many teenagers from doing the wrong action at the wrong time. Taking a stand on this can help teenage parents <strong>improve their education</strong> and the <strong>state of their children</strong>. People should also be <strong>aware</strong> of this social issue as it becomes worse every day. Some people also need to learn <strong>not to judge</strong> teenage parents. Most teenagers are in no position <strong>financially, emotionally, </strong>and<strong> intellectually</strong> so people should <strong>widen</strong> their perspective on this and be at their help.&nbsp;<br><br><br></div>]]></description>
