As a young Filipino, what do you think is the basic need of your generation these days? Why do you think so? by Hannah

Education, because I believe education is an equalizer to the community that we have.

Basic Need/s(?)

jjnmongcal — 2021-08-31 01:52:49 UTC

Internet, since if it's utilized properly, you can teach yourself a large amount of things. Think of it as a mobile library. And well, I may be biased but I think it's way better than books.

Mental health awareness

2021-08-31 01:52:58 UTC

For me one of the basic needs for our generation is the awareness of mental health and how it affects younger people like me, I think this should be a basic need because a lot has happened throughout this year, mostly bad events because of the pandemic.

mgpgabriel1 — 2021-08-31 01:53:56 UTC

FREE QUALITY EDUCATION!! I believe that what we really need right now is quality education for everyone. Especially at this moment, going to college is already considered a privilege. Everyone should have access to it.

Iquina, Jenny L.

jliquina — 2021-08-31 01:54:22 UTC

As a young filipino, I believe that many from my generation are still in need of the basic necessities, especially in this pandemic as many are deprived of food, clothing, and shelter. I also think that my generation is in need of proper education as many are finding it difficult to attend classes in this situation.

Internet

dndofiaza — 2021-08-31 01:54:47 UTC

In my personal experience, I've met a whole lot of people online and I personally can say that I cannot part with my phone and the online world anymore as almost everything I do every day involves the internet in a way.

-Ofiaza

I think the basic need for this generation is self-discipline because this generation does not have enough respect for those around them.

Mental health awareness

jsbcasal — 2021-08-31 01:56:52 UTC

Mental health is one of the basic need for our generation because bad events/incidents can affect a person's thought process and it can greatly affect that person's future - Casal

As a young Filipino, what do you think is the basic need of your generation these days? Why do you think so? -Alfred

2021-08-31 01:57:35 UTC

I think that the basic need of our generation is proper education and proper guidance of parents. This is because I see a lot of kids or people our age who are in the internet and most of the time they lack respect and just spreads toxicity and negativity?

As a young Filipino, what do you think is the basic need of your generation these days? Why do you think so?

2021-08-31 01:58:42 UTC

I believe the basic need of our generation is companionship and familial support. This is because, our generation grew up in an era where technology is abundant. Because of this, everything is fast-paced and online which caused us to not have quality time with our families.

[Imposy]

Wisdom

jmsancheta — 2021-08-31 02:00:02 UTC

I believe this generation overthinks too much and always has too much to say for literally everything. They need to stop overcomplicating things like injecting normal topics with political agendas or actively trying to apply cancel culture on someone because they just don't like a person. I also believe that while this generation is more open-minded, they also have a bigger tendency to become ignorant and this comes badly into play when people suddenly bandwagon onto fake news and start throwing hands when nothing has even been proven on either side. Sensationalism needs to stop and wisdom should take its place.

- Ancheta

Morales, Jiro

jjsmorales — 2021-08-31 02:01:39 UTC

I guess the basic need of my generation is to respect others. A lot of Filipinos I see online are just rude and vulgar. It saddens me that our generation can criticize this much about others and deny criticism when it's directed towards themselves. I think they need more lessons and attention from their parents because if they continue growing up like this, it could be detrimental to their future.

As a young Filipino, what do you think is the basic need of your generation these days? Why do you think so?

2021-08-31 02:03:08 UTC

This generation needs to understand that they shouldn't compare themselves with others because no matter where you look there is always someone that does things better in a way. Especially with the internet around, it's a lot easier to see what others are up to. the only thing you can do is to focus and work on yourself. I also think people should be more respectful to others.

- Fuentebella

San Pedro, Gaby M.

gmsanpedro — 2021-08-31 02:04:28 UTC

As a young Filipino, the basic need of my generation I believe is access to different kinds of proper education. We need guidance and support from our elders towards the career we want to pursue. Considering this generation is being more exposed to the arts, we should have the freedom to pursue non-academic or academic courses without being discriminated.

a lot

2021-08-31 02:05:12 UTC

experience in whatever field they wish to enter and probably more practical guidance, and if possible, good education that isn't ludicrously expensive. As things are as of now i believe that it is imperative that education won't be so costly while at the same time, still be practical. Students should be given a more indepth understanding of whatever proffesion they arae entering, and that there should be a way for them to enter their proffesion after gaining experience as to what exactly they will be going into -barcenal

Child Support

altvera — 2021-08-31 02:05:45 UTC

During her opening speech, Catriona mentioned that it was not poverty that killed the dreams of children, but a lack of child support. Personally, I believe that this is true. While financial stability is certainly an asset to achieving one's dream, it does not define it as a whole. When a child dares to dream, parents should not hamper them with their own ideals, instead, they should support those dreams and nurture them. Money can buy you a lot of things and get you to many places but it can never buy the support a child longs for from their family. If children are given the support they need, then they'll happily blossom into a motivated and unwavering individuals who will be relentless in the pursuit of their dreams. Parents should not allow their children's dreams to suffer and die because of their own narcissism.

- Vera

Rivera, Aldrich Elvin E.

2021-08-31 03:01:43 UTC

By stop judging other people because it can hurt other peoples' feelings. We can say it in a good way, but if we don't have a nice thing to say just don't say it. If you don't know what it feels to be judgmental or simply judged by other people don't do it to others. We should just start complementing others that can help them to motivate themselves everyone needs to be motivated because it's hard to be positive with all the things going on around the world

Internet and a gadget

rlsdelacruz — 2021-09-02 00:47:27 UTC

Gadget enough for online classes and some internet connection, since 2019 when the pandemic started we have transitioned to online classes, having a gadget and an internet connection will help you attend those online classes and help yourself by teaching yourself other things too. I personally use the internet for some entertainment and to help inform myself and others about what's happening around the world.
- Rein

Self-love

2021-09-02 00:47:29 UTC

Some self care and confidence also falls under this, we need to take care of our body and well being, its a foundation to start being happy by simply loving one self and take care of ourselves.

-Garcia Frederick

CAUSAPIN, John Chester E.

2021-09-02 00:49:01 UTC

for me the 1 of the basic needs of todays generation is the proper guidance of parents. because many people today they dont value the word "respect". i see a lot of people that has limeted time to there parents because of technology and other influence by friends thats why it is important to have bond with parents and the proper guidance.

Delos Reyes, Kyle Reilly

2021-09-02 00:50:38 UTC

In this generation, what I think you filipino would need, is experience and exposure to the real world. You'll never learn to be independent if you don't know how to be. We also learn alot from these things, some skills we manage to pick up, some realizations, and many more. As a part of this generation, I noticed that these things aren't going to come to you unless you want it to.

Education and Guidance

rrlmagalued — 2021-09-02 00:52:07 UTC

In our generation these days, Education and Guidance are one of the foundations that we need in our growth as a living person in our society. It is very important to be properly guided and educated as we grow up because we have a lot of things to learn and morals to pick up. Without education and guidance, we wouldn't have any knowledge on different things, we wouldn't be able to judge correctly what is right and wrong, we won't be able to advance into pursuing our goals and ambitions, and without proper guidance we wouldn't be able to learn the different morals we should apply in our daily lives.

-Magalued

A Healthy Family

2021-09-02 00:52:23 UTC

I think having a healthy family is one of the basic needs of our generation these days because based on my observations and thought, not every child has a healthy relationship with their family. Some are abused and neglected. This in turn makes the child mentally and/or emotionally unstable. We all need someone to talk to so we will always feel loved and appreciated. Having friends is great and is also a very effective solution, but nothing ever comes close in having a family that loves you and supports you in everything you do. -Edward Agustin

Regala, Jaeron Fort T.

2021-09-02 00:52:50 UTC

I think the basic need of our generation is guidance. A lot of youth today have a negative way of thinking that can possibly lead to wrongdoing

Free Education and Support for Students

2021-09-02 00:53:37 UTC

The pandemic today has undoubtedly created an imbalance in our economy. This results to our parents to have hard times in paying both bills and tuition fees to give us the education we need. I believe that the government and/or schools must be more considering to the children today, especially to the expensive tuition fess we have despite the hard times or situations we are in to. Not all have the luxury to go to school, let alone to have the requirements. I think it is unwise that despite the pandemic, some schools refuse to lower their tuition fees. Sure, it is to also support the employees of the said school, they must also think the parents that want their children to have quality education. All we are asking is to at least lessen the burden of finances so we can help our parents as we go to school.

-Pestaño, Kiannah Mari Shamira A.

2021-09-02 00:54:20 UTC

Young filipino like us needs to develop a greater breadth of skills to evaluate and apply knowledges in ways that meet the demands of our changing social and economic life. We must have a developed set of core life skills so that someday we will be prepared to everything that we encounter.
-Timbol

Internet

2021-09-02 00:54:28 UTC

Because of the online class, which has become our new normal as a result of the pandemic, internet is one of the most important things that we should all have. However, not everyone has a good internet connection; some are only using data that is consumable and can only last for 2-3 Google meetings, making it difficult for many to cope with the new normal.
Lemoncito, Jorald Allen

Internet

2021-09-02 00:55:15 UTC

In my opinion, Internet is one of the basic needs in our generation. Internet makes our lives easy and simple. It gives us a lot of knowledge and informs us about what is happening in the world.
- Pascua

Emotional Support

nazestrella — 2021-09-02 00:56:11 UTC

In my opinion, being able to receive emotional support does not only concern our generation but also everyone around us. Some people can save themselves from every misery they experience while others value comforting words a lot, from people they love the most. It somewhat makes them feel loved, appreciated, and special. Though it may seem like it isn't pleasant to see an individual getting too worried over you, we can't deny the fact that it brightens up our mood since we know that they're concerned and that only means you're someone they value a lot for them to get tensed up. Emotional support is a basic need for all generations, I must say. We might not be aware of how much reassurance our words might affect other people, yet just the thought of being someone who helped lighten up the burden they feel on their shoulders is already a fulfilling achievement and a total relief.

- Nove Anne Z. Estrella

Modern Tech

ajdelacruziii — 2021-09-02 00:56:51 UTC

The technology that we have today is the most advanced system or tool that we have yet, although we still have, and are in need of development. These said technologies are reshaping the way how our generations work, ranging from how learning styles in systems work to more and new available occupations needed by the ever-expanding advancements of technology. This is already part of our lives and it enabled us to have more resources to do what we need or want. This expanded the field in the means of communication, medical advancements, entertainment, construction, and many more. Modern Technology is not actually crucial in a human's survival as our ancient ancestors did, but with it, we had expanded our territory of learning, and through that, we are as advance as ever.

-Aqui

Acceptance

2021-09-02 00:57:07 UTC

I think acceptance is one of the basic needs of a human being. Them being accepted and loved by their family and the environment around them has a huge impact as they ponder and grow. When you are accepted, you will be able to freely express who you are and have a healthy relationship with everyone.

- Crystal, Pauline Emmanuelle

Thank you for that wonderful question, and that wonderful question deserves a wonderful answer.

2021-09-02 00:57:25 UTC

I think, what we need the most right now is a decent shelter, food, and clothes for the people who are living in poverty. Because, there's a ton of people right now depending on the government, and from what I've seen, I've never seen the government act on this issue. Not to mention the controversial Covid-19 still lurking around, I think that the people who don't even meet the bare minimum for a person to live, are the most vulnerable, so as a decent human being, we should act on this because their lives are at stake! Thank you and mabuhay!

-Miss Emerson of Philippines

Faith

2021-09-02 00:58:06 UTC

Young Filipino nowadays are losing their faith about almost everything because of the pandemic and other things. This generation needs faith because it carries us through, enlightening the way in the night and providing bravery in the face of adversity. We will conquer these problems in our lives with faith, which will grow stronger than before.

- Manaloto, Bernadette M.

Sanchez,Lance Joseph

2021-09-02 00:58:28 UTC

I think one of the many needs of my generation these days are good companions.Life is already hard as it is,surrounding ourselves with loving parents,kind hearted friends and important people who cherish us will make life less bitter,having this kind of healthy relationships would reflect on how we work,think and treat people we encounter in life.

internet

2021-09-02 00:58:56 UTC

- buenaventura

I believe that the internet is what my generation needs because the internet can provide any information that you want to know. In our present situation, the internet is a huge help for us, it provides us virtual classes for us to meet up with our teachers and our classmates without risking ourselves going outside, not only that we can also do our homework and pass them through online. Any information that you want to learn about is all on the internet and the good thing about it is that all of it is free. There's are a lot of things that can you learn when the internet is utilized correctly.

- buenaventura

Garcia, Andrei

2021-09-02 00:59:00 UTC

For me i think the basic need of the youth today is experience and discipline because One of the greatest feelings in life is that of respect. With it, your life can feel more important and meaningful. Education and experience allow the individual to build respect from other people for the "trade" that they do.

Mental Health, and Mindset

2021-09-02 00:59:18 UTC

A a young filipino, the basic need for our generation is the awareness of our own mental health and our mindset. These two is a basic need because being aware of our mental health can healp us avoid being depressed and being down on whatever situation we are experiencing, also being aware of our mindset is important because without a mindset you will never know your limit.

-Neria

Connection

lmrratio — 2021-09-02 01:01:13 UTC

I believe that connection is one of the basic needs these days, because people has a way to connect with other people and doesn't know how to explain it, and for me that's magical. To be able to connect with these circumstances is very difficult and people are in need of connections these days are the ones who are struggling and lead to something really bad.

- Ratio, Louis Miguel R.

Rest

2021-09-02 01:01:35 UTC

Not only from school works or duties at home, but a rest from the inside and outside. Rest for your physical and spiritual self and rest from excessive use of gadgets.

-Feb

Paolo De Chavez

pnmdechavez — 2021-09-02 01:01:59 UTC

I think the generation today needs to have more involvement in politics because it is one of the few ways that someone can actually change the world, that is by altering the rules by which it operates.

Education

2021-09-02 01:02:31 UTC

Education is what makes a society, it's citizens not only have to be knowledgeable about certain things but also the role they will play in society as a whole. Education will pave the way for understanding what their roles are and how they will do it.

Education is the foundation of a community because without it we would be in a chaotic state without anyone enlightened enough to know how to deal with it as the concepts of order and discipline would be buried under the rubble.

-Paolo D. Vital

Proper Guide

2021-09-02 01:02:56 UTC

The basic needs that young Filipinos needs today is a proper guide. Because these days some children don't have any proper guide and this is a problem because it misleads them from their dream. this can also cause trouble for the child because he has no guide and this sometimes worsen the out come

-Gonzales

Technology

gjgguzman — 2021-09-02 01:03:02 UTC

Our generation's basic need is technology. Through technology, knowledge and information are very easy to access. While that may not always be good because of false claims, we just need to learn to be aware of how to distinguish them from the truth. Technology also allows us to work and communicate more quickly and efficiently. Through just clicks and taps of a button, messages could be sent all across the world in seconds. Technology will still evolve and grow, and with so many possibilities and future developments, it may become one of the most useful, easy to access, and widespread tools that can be used not only for our generation, but also for generations to come.

-Guzman

Mental health awareness

2021-09-02 01:04:06 UTC

I do think that mental health awareness is one of the basic needs of our generation these days. The pandemic has affected the way we think in a way that we tend to forget to rest and we also tend to absorb everything that is on social media. Seeing people change their profile pictures to black, reading fake news is just enough to rapidly affect our mindset. Problems in work, school, family, relationships just add up to the burden that we are bringing in these times of the pandemic. Mental health awareness can help many people that spread the message that it is normal to be anxious at times, what we feel is valid.

- De Leon

Parental guidance

2021-09-02 01:05:08 UTC

I think proper parental guidance is one of the basic needs of our generation. In our generation, we are being bombarded with a lot of information and opinion which also affects how we decide to pursue our own future. That is why we need parental support so that we can set our paths straight in the many opportunities and possibilities we have right now.

-Naguit, Miguel

Technology

2021-09-02 01:08:21 UTC

Kids nowadays are dependent on technology. The younger generations are introduced to technology early in their lives that is why they depend on it. It makes life easier especially during this pandemic where we use technology pretty much for everything. -O'Santos

A support system

mgdhcatalan — 2021-09-02 01:09:33 UTC

I think that having a support system consisting of your family, friends, or people you can depend on is a basic need. Some people I knew have talked about being in families and friendships yet it feels like they aren't seen or heard by them. It's a lonely experience having no one to lean on especially when they were going through hard times.

- Catalan

Education and proper guidance

2021-09-02 01:09:59 UTC

From what I've observed as a young Filipino, I believe this generation needs proper education and guidance because one of the negative parts of our generation is that we criticize people too easily, which can lead to misunderstandings and sometimes hurting other people's emotional capacity. The negative outlook of our generation is a large matter as it impacts everyone's future and reflects on what will become of the future generations. I think educating the youth on the right path by guiding us through our problems is important, especially to those who can't open up about their personal problems, and that is why proper mental care and guidance is crucial to our generation today.

- Godinez

Proper Education

2021-09-02 01:16:15 UTC

emotional support

cmdelacruz — 2021-09-02 02:37:54 UTC

in this generation many people has been using technology to entertain their self
but too much use of this can lead to poorer emotional health. new media is making teens more lonely, depressed and anxious, and undermining their social skills and even their sleep.so I think having a emotional support can help those people who have silent battles to be strong.

-Dela Cruz Carlo

Focus

kcpatricio — 2021-09-02 05:21:29 UTC

Focusing on our priorities, staying on track,
coming back when lost, standing up when you fall, focusing and giving determination towards your goal. Focusing on the first and little steps of accomplishment will bring you up a step higher towards accomplishing your bigger and main goals in life. Let us not let distractions and temptations of life remove us from the right track we ought to walk through. We need focus.

- Patricio

No negativity only positivity

2021-09-02 05:22:02 UTC

=Luis
The reason why because if we think nehative your thingking of dying as someone said"You have a purpose in life thats why you were sent here" or something like that and dont give up

Happiness

psmpaez — 2021-09-02 05:23:02 UTC

In this generation I think the basic need of the young Filipinos is happiness or overall enjoyment in what they do. It is considered that our basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter is a priority, but there are more things that are to be needed in order to live. Happiness is the way in order for us young Filipinos to look for the future, and to look for the positive sides on these dark times. We are living in a generation of technology where we can do everything in an instant, but attaining true happiness is sometimes hard for person to person. They are down, sad, and losing the will in this generation since we are not able to interact with one another or using technology is better. This is why happiness can just be temporary and can not last since in attaining true happiness we should try to enjoy in what we have despite the circumstances. -Paez

Education

cjmfalceso — 2021-09-02 05:23:25 UTC

I believe that the most basic need of our generation is education. The amount of education our citizens get is reflected in our country's economy, politics, and in the general health of the citizens. Good education makes good leaders, good doctors and nurses, good employees, and most importantly good people. -Falceso

Communication and Understanding

srmsalanio — 2021-09-02 05:23:41 UTC

I think being able to actively tell people what you think and feel regarding things and situations and have them fully understand what you are trying to say is a basic need of this generation. Especially now in this time, where the form of communication is mostly through text, the tone and true intention and meaning regarding the message could be understood differently depending on the person. It is needed to clarify misunderstandings for people to get along better even more so in a time where it is difficult for most people. A lot of issues form when people are not aware of the full picture and what actually is going on so taking the time to understand things as a whole is what I believe to be a basic necessity in my generation.

- Salanio

Gadgets and stable internet connection

2021-09-02 05:23:45 UTC

I believe that our generation deserves to have good quality gadgets and a stable internet connection because in this time of pandemic which the education system changed from face-to-face classes to distance learning is very difficult if you do not have the gadgets and internet connection which is very essential for us students. The government also needs to provide a fund for the students who are not privileged enough to afford gadgets and wifi connections.

- TABUYO

Dizon, Kaela

2021-09-02 05:24:44 UTC

what our generation needs at this time of pandemic are leaders. based on the news circulating, there are many world leaders that mostly focus only on money and not on the well-being of the population. this generation has innovative, creative, and perceptive minds that not only focus on the growth of the economy but also on the improvement of life and equality for everyone and the environment. with this, our generation may pass down a healthier and safer environment that may be close to world peace.

Mental health stability

2021-09-02 05:25:27 UTC

I think during this time where a lot of problems are happening like health problems, family problems, financial problems. We should be able to have a clear thought and mind to be able to do things properly. Especially for students where classes are being done online they also have to balance things that are happening in their personal lives. -Hernandez

Education

2021-09-02 05:25:52 UTC

I think this generation needs to be more educated because we always violate our rules and that causes a lot of problem in our society.

-deocareza

Motivation

maccastillo — 2021-09-02 05:26:05 UTC

nowadays, people usually lack motivation to do things like schoolworks and other important stuff. But they cant be blamed mainly because it is really hard to keep one's self motivated, especially now that we are in the middle of a pandemic.

- Castillo

Communication & Understanding

ekdelossantos — 2021-09-02 05:26:19 UTC

This generation, in my opinion, needs to communicate and understand one another better, not just in terms of what they want, but also in terms of how they feel. Many of us are having problems expressing what we want to be in life and how we feel about a particular topic or action that has been taken against us right now. We don't say anything because we're afraid that people won't accept our feelings or listen to our point of view, thus our feelings and emotions are buried in our heads. That, I believe, is why we need to communicate and understand one another better.
-DELOS SANTOS, Elaiza Kate A.

dizon m

2021-09-02 05:26:21 UTC

I believe that the basic needs of today's generation is proper support and equality meaning a child must have a family that provides proper care and necessities such as food, shelter clothing and love. a child also needs equality because most children fail to receive education and proper treatment which is considered a luxury and a privilege. Sadly, most children work and are exploited at an early age. Children are supposed to be in school learning for the future and going to home to a loving family and not exploited and that the fault of the system the previous generation built.

Right Mindset

2021-09-02 05:28:03 UTC

as a young Filipino now a days, it is important and to grow and age well with a right mindset. This is the need basically every young teens need that will uplift not only himself/herself as individual but the whole group and also the community. Having this need expands the minds that generate the opinions and knowledge that reflects on our society and most especially the issues we face as a country. The openness of the minds and hearts and a helping hand of every Filipino will be needed to be the best influence to every aspect in life. -Briones

Mental Health Awareness

rdgesguerra — 2021-09-02 05:28:16 UTC

Mental health is important for learners, especially in these times, and those dealing with mental health challenges deserve treatment, understanding, compassion, and avenues to hope, healing, recovery, and fulfillment.

- Esguerra

As young filipino we need to know or separate the needs and the wants. We need to focus on our goal. Time is gold. We need to act quickly to reach our goal. The need of this generation is leadership. Plus we need enough food, clothes, and proper shelter for the homeless people around in our country. -Navarro

daqnavarro — 2021-09-02 05:28:36 UTC

FREE EDUCATION

ejdrosales — 2021-09-02 05:28:52 UTC

Because employers solely base on educational attainment and not everyone can afford good education. A lot of people from our generation are actually good with their studies but they cannot go to college because it's expensive. So, I think free education is the basic need of our generation.

- Earl Rosales

Discipline

2021-09-02 05:28:57 UTC

Discipline brings stability and structure into a person's life. It teaches a person to be responsible, organized and respectful.

-cansanay

Communication and Proper Guidance

2021-09-02 05:29:37 UTC

I believe that in communicating and guiding each other will we ever be able to find the meaning of what we want and need. Communication in and of itself can destroy barriers and that it tests each other's potential in socializing and the like, not only that but it can also help us young filipinos in understanding not just our generation but the past generations as well, ultimately we may be unable to communicate with one another and that's fine to say the least because patience will always be involved in the process such as this. I also believe that guidance from our elders as well as friends, teachers, and so on will help us one way or another in shaping our way of life and our character as well. For in communicating will we be able to break the barrier of miscommunication and in guidance will we be able to make proper decisions in life.

-Tiangson

The power to believe in yourself

2021-09-02 05:30:16 UTC

This is what every filipino needs especially in this time of pandemic you should not lose hope in your life you should believe that you can overcome every problem that you will face because there are saying if there's a problem there's a solution. the only impossible journey is the one you never begin so believe in yourself.👍 - MALLO

Consistency

2021-09-02 05:30:29 UTC

In our generation many students are lazy to finish what they started because of their lose desire to the things they wanna be they don't have the drive to meet their goal in this case they need consistency to make it happen

Emotional Support

mpeesquillo — 2021-09-02 05:30:45 UTC

For me, the basic need of my generation these days is constant emotional support. So many teens of my age suffer from mental illnesses because they feel like they don't have someone whom they can share their stories with. And I think that by having a solid emotional support, they will feel more valued, loved, and important. Having someone who actually cares to listen to your stories, whether it be a good or a bad one, is a really big help because it makes you feel appreciated. And by having a solid emotional support, teens will not be afraid to fail and fall down because they know that there is someone who will pick them up and help them stand again.

Wellness

jddebora — 2021-09-02 05:32:53 UTC

In our generation, our wellness is very important especially in this time of the pandemic. This pandemic can mostly harm young people like us, that is why our health and wellness are very important. Our wellness not only includes our physical health but all the other aspects like our mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Many young Filipinos don't have proper nutrition, emotional support, have mental problems and even some lose their faith. If we give attention and take care of ourselves we may be able to do things productively and enjoy the things that we do. Improving our wellness and health would be our investment in the future.

-EBORA, John Daryl D.

Sex and mental education

2021-09-02 05:33:14 UTC

I think this 2 would greatly benefit this generation since in terms of sex education we learn our own body and what it's capabilities. A way for us to explore how our body works, a way for us to be aware of the things that our body can do. So that some people would not be curious about things and do something that they will regret in the future. Sex education is a must since many teenagers don't know proper consent and use of contraceptive. Since people don't know about that they have a chance to get STDs, HIV, Aids that may ruin there life in the future.Next is the mental education since it's rarely a topic to talk about in a vast amount of people. I think having knowledge of one's own mental capabilities may help some people specially one's that suffer from mental illness a way for them to have knowledge of what are they feeling. So people would know what symptoms children go through because we sometimes ignore it.

- Vicente Michael Allen

Moral and Etiquette

2021-09-02 05:33:49 UTC

I think the basic needs that our generation need these days are moral and etiquette. A reason being that nowadays people do not pay heed to their actions whether on or offline and usually they're not thought about twice, avoiding the chances of affecting other's feelings. What these virtues do is help us approach situations with humility, strengthen one's decision making, and guide us to try to understand and put ourselves in someone else's shoes.

- Lance :)

Support and Convenience

ngjimenez — 2021-09-02 05:34:19 UTC

I believe that kids now should be able to do so much more, I know so many talented classmates however with the infrastructure in the Philippines it's really hard to see their talents bloom and flourish. For example the support for young talented athletes is minimal, what more in E-sports. The support for artist is very small here that most of them try to get jobs outside of the country. But what of the ones with talent but no means to practice their craft? With how hard a future is in these fields how are they going to pursue them? I believe support and convenience to help people with talent is a must in any country. - Jimenez, N G

Self-Improvement

jrpsiriban — 2021-09-02 05:38:58 UTC

Self-Improvement is one of the basic needs in our generation because it helps us to enhance our strengths, overcome fears, and most especially in becoming a better version of ourselves. By seeing ourselves growing each day, it builds up our confidence and self-esteem. It is also very helpful in our mental health to improve since improving ourselves leads to learning patiently how to deal with our emotions, thoughts, and feelings more effectively.

- Siriban

Education and a Healthy Mindset

2021-09-02 05:39:41 UTC

Education and a healthy mindset, for it is beneficial to us in spending our time and efforts in our education to achieve our goal even with the problems we are facing today. Having a healthy mindset could help us prepare in facing our problems, helping us grow as day goes by even if there are negativity around us.

-Naguit,Jonathan

EDUCATION

jbmputian — 2021-09-02 05:40:37 UTC

As a young Filipino, I believe that education is what we need not just any education we need free education that everybody can access. A free education that has proper materials and a proper teaching system so that students will learn properly and it will help them in the future for them to be successful.

- Puti-an

Mental Health Awareness

jevlopez — 2021-09-02 05:41:08 UTC

We all know that we are stuck in this current pandemic, and the most common means of communication that we have now is through the internet in order limit physical contact with one another. However, excessive use of the internet can break us down especially with the bulk of schoolwork coming from online classes. Due to excessive work from the internet, we tend to be very stressed and lose track of ourselves. Right now, it is fine to remind ourselves to take rests and recover from all the work that we are doing. Our health and welfare is more of a priority than the work we do.

-Lopez

Guidance and Support

mddtrajano — 2021-09-02 05:41:38 UTC

As a young Filipino, I believe that what our generation needs is proper guidance and support from others. Kids nowadays are often exposed to the toxicity of social media such as cancel culture. It causes them to spread hatred across the internet and therefore bringing negativity across different platforms. By having the proper guidance and support from others we would be more understanding and kind in treating others, all the while spreading positivity to different communities and people on the internet and those around them.

-Trajano

Mental and emotional support

2021-09-02 05:44:51 UTC

I think this generation needs mental and emotional support. Many events/incidents or difficulties can affect not only mental well-being but also the physical and emotional state of a person. Especially in this time of pandemic, people felt scared and hopeless. It can be dangerous if mental and emotional health were not immediately taken care of. Mental and emotional well-being is important so we can be healthy, enjoy our life and be our best.
-Feliciano

Motivation

2021-09-02 05:52:21 UTC

When you’re motivated to achieve your goal, confidence is a by product of the little steps taken to see that goal achieved. When you’ve pushed through setbacks and fear, there is a sense of accomplishment and this builds an inner confidence to try something new. Motivated people will have a few projects on the go because they have pushed through barriers and seen positive results, which gives them motivation to start new projects and try new things.
- Grewal

Free Education

2021-09-02 06:45:33 UTC

Free education is a basic need for our generation these days because graduated students are burdened because of student loans - cadiente

growing up

2021-09-02 06:47:04 UTC

hands on experience and overall education on how to become a proper adult is something we need. we don't get taught how to live as an adult properly, so we have these unemployed people not knowing what to do because their education did not teach them how to be a proper working adult.

- mistica

We need to strengthen our faith.

2021-09-02 06:47:13 UTC

A lot of people lacks faith, and we need to have a better relationship with God, and it's important to us because through his hope, peace, and example, He helps us change our lives, face our trials, and move forward with faith as we journey back to Him and His Father. - Manglo

I believe proper quality mental health awareness programs are a must for our Filipino youth because the pandemic had a major effect psychologically so i believe looking out for our youth when it comes to mental health is important - Sam abaya

2021-09-02 06:48:16 UTC

As a young Filipino, I think the basic need that my generation needs at this time of pandemic is the freedom to express themselves because I think expressing ourselves helps our mental state which is really important to take care of at this time because we're at home and our minds are stagnant.

Mental Help and Support

scabasco — 2021-09-02 06:49:35 UTC

In our generation what we need the most is mental help and support,I believe that almost every person in our generation suffers from some kind of mental health such as Depression,Anxiety and etc. Especially during this pandemic where we are far from our peers and sometimes family, we lack support for our studies overexerting ourselves and becoming tired mentally. preventing us from doing our task and projects properly

-Basco

Discipline & Internet

2021-09-02 06:49:41 UTC

we need to have discipline every time we use the internet because right now everything is online, cyberbullying and bashing is occurring often.
- Fernandez J

Connections

2021-09-02 06:49:43 UTC

In every sense of the word, connections have become paramount to happiness or survival in this generation. From connections with friends to connections with the internet; connections with work or connecting your phone to a charging port. This world is full of tethers or cords that need a plug, and at this rate we almost cant live without it.

- Montalban

Accessibility to the Mental Health Support

fcqoliva — 2021-09-02 06:50:29 UTC

To be honest, there are many basic needs other than water, food, a roof over our heads - but what I think should be a need is accessibility to learn about the broader world. For example, our generation must have access to mental health support - because this pandemic had shown us how hard it is to manage ourselves in this time of need and instead of looking down on this as a prejudice this must be taken into light because it is an essential part of us. Mental Health these days have been more of a talked about topic because all ages have experienced some of it at this point. And instead of shaming other people of experiencing something they can't control we must know how to not shame it and learn to embrace these kind of things.

- Oliva

Motivation

cksamendiola — 2021-09-02 06:50:30 UTC

From what I've seen and experienced first hand is that our generation really needs some sort of motivation to keep on going. Many are experiencing burn-out, mental fatigue of sorts or just flat out tired and unmotivated to do anything. Just a little bit of emotional support and motivation from our family, friends, and peers would go a long way for us.

~Mendiola

Mental Health awareness

2021-09-02 06:51:20 UTC

The reason why is because a lot of people are going through a lot right now since there is a pandemic and because of the pandemic society has changed. People being trapped in heir homes and working from home is hard already enough but its even harder for those who lost their jobs. In this time of situation its better to strengthen and take care of the mental health to get through this problem.

-Antonio Rafael I. Martinez IV

Mental Health and motivation

2021-09-02 06:51:55 UTC

For me mental health stability and motivation is really needed by students these days, because i have encountered many of my friends, news, past schoolmates have mental breakdown, depression etc because of the pandemic. Also motivation is needed because many people are losing their path they forgot their goals in life, people nowadays have lack of motivation, also laziness is eating us. -Felicilda

Acceptance

2021-09-02 06:52:26 UTC

I think that people admire other people too much that they become jealous and will try to do anything just to be like other people. They become obsessive with the looks of others that they forget to accept themselves. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with improving yourself and getting that better version of yourself. But, is that really you? Or is it someone that's being built by the standards of society? I think we use social media too much without knowing that it is consuming us. We always try to reach social standards and forget to accept ourselves. We forget that we, ourselves, are beautiful already, and we tend to not notice that because of what other people want us to be. I've learned that social media is just an illusion and our lifestyle shouldn't base on it.
-Vasquez

Stable Mental Health

2021-09-02 06:53:10 UTC

I think the student's of my generation need a more stable mental health, because students won't be able to perform and complete activities without a stable mental health and when a lot of things are going on their mind.

Mental Health Awareness

2021-09-02 06:54:59 UTC

I personally think that mental health awareness is something that our generation needs these days. Now that we are in the state of pandemic and the addition of school works, some of us may be having a hard time and it might be affecting us both mentally and physically. In our current situation right now, it's better for us to focus more on ourselves instead of accomplishing the work that we need to do. - Abelarde

Mental Health Awareness

2021-09-02 06:57:29 UTC

In this pandemic mostly depression and anxiety attacks. Parents should be concerned and also ask if how they've been. That's why it is more fun to still have connections with friends even though it is online they still catch up and asks how you've been and how are you doing in class. In my experience during this pandemic, I am thankful to some of my friends for being there to ask me how I am doing in life and in class. -Francisco

Proper guidance

rsayap — 2021-09-02 06:58:34 UTC

Since we are in the digital age, information is easily accessible by everyone. This can be misused by the younger generation, that is why we should all have proper guidance because we have the power to do a lot of things that can hurt others and ourselves. With proper guidance, all of us young Filipinos can use our platforms and information to spread good ideas instead.

-Yap

Self-awareness and Resiliency

tscaponpon — 2021-09-02 06:59:41 UTC

Being self-aware is not just how one perceive oneself, also how they behave with others and build relationships. For me, in this generation, It is very important to know yourself first i.e. what you enjoy, love, etc. Mental health problems I think is inclined on ones self-awareness, therefore it's connected on how we take care of ourselves and others. Resiliency where keeping ones thoughts and stabilize, where we stand back up after challenges. This past few years made us harshly realized what we love may disappear to us in a blink of a situation, and our generation should be resilient and face our challenges, even if it's hard at times. Continuing for your loved ones and most especially continuing for yourself.

- Caponpon

Healing for the generation

2021-09-02 07:00:53 UTC

This current pandemic brought many problems to the society not only to the older people but also to the young ones. We already have problems with our family, with our different relationships, in our homes, etc. and this pandemic just added up. We can't go out with our friends because of restrictions, we are all using social media to use up are time but social media also have become "toxic" in ways. The cases of covid19 are just getting higher and higher. Seeing all of this just add up, its just affecting the minds of children. The generation today needs healing, to remove toxicity and corruption.

-Zaracena

Moral Support

kdcnazario — 2021-09-02 07:03:27 UTC

During the pandemic, people need moral support to give them hope that this will end someday and by supporting their needs we give our best to help them and showing we still care for them, I feel proud being a Filipino by helping someone whenever they are losing hope we are always there to give Moral support

-Nazario

Strength , Ignorance, and Faith

lavlacson — 2021-09-02 07:10:29 UTC

Mental and physical fortitude is a must have in times like these. When faced with struggles that God has blessed us, we must take the this opportunity to become stronger than what we were yesterday, no matter what.

People care too much about what others think, so much that ignorance becomes a blessing, especially when surrounded by fools. Do not care for those that judge you and your actions because they are different. For so long as your values are with you, and your actions reflect it, you will never be wrong.

Faith is often tied to God. That is understandable, as we have been raised to do so. But often we forget to have faith in ourselves and in our own capabilities. People pray, ask, and beg for strength from God , forgetting that it is already in their hands.

-Lacson

A proper government

2021-09-02 07:14:17 UTC

As a young Filipino in the present time, I have noticed that issues will and always will be a part of one's society. However, choosing to ignore or select a particular issue will not cover a whole lot of people. These issues have been prominent ever since, and the past governments have failed to serve their people well. And so I believe that a change of pace in the government, from top to bottom, is a good start. Once finished, they can start working on various issues like corruption, poverty, justice, and education. - Tenedero

Education, Motivation, Experience

2021-09-02 07:43:53 UTC

In my personal experience, I believe these 3 factors is what our generation needs. Our generation should study well and gain experiences from different factors for us to be prepared for our future work. We need to motivate ourselves because as what people say "ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan"

Mental Health

2021-09-02 08:14:09 UTC

I think that not many give attention to this kind of issue. Mental health could affect other aspects of life such as the way we think, feel, and the way how we act. A lot of people having a hard time seeking help from others, and sometimes they feel alone or lonely. They intend to hide their feelings because they are afraid that it would affect other people. I think it's best to talk or spend more time with them and help him/her as much as possible.

-Claveria

Education

2021-09-02 08:18:26 UTC

I think our generation need education because we need to be disciplined during this pandemic and refrain ourselves from going outside, that's why we need education and to learn new things.

-Ferrolino

free therapy + positive environment

2021-09-02 13:06:22 UTC

I think these generations have a lot of emotional baggage to carry. These days I think almost everyone finds it hard to deal with life especially that we're locked in our home, everyone is already tired and drained by the pandemic. We can't hang out with friends or even have a "me time". Therefore I think that this generation needs a space to have peace of mind and to be surrounded by a positive environment. Everyone deserves to have emotional support.
-FHurtada

2021-09-03 01:17:26 UTC

Understanding one's mental health

2021-09-03 01:18:06 UTC

Most people from our generation are exposed to a lot of mental degradation, most of us rely on having human interaction. We are a generation of outgoing people, having us cooped up in a house for months will have a lasting effect on our mental health.

-Madriaga

Mental Health Awareness

2021-09-03 01:19:22 UTC

Mental health is one of our basic needs because many young Filipinos are having a hard time controlling their anxiety and depression nowadays and they don't know what to do and they just hide their problems with their smile but deep inside they need help and proper education for their mental health problem.

-Dela Cruz

Internet

2021-09-03 01:19:24 UTC

Keeping the pandemic in mind internet and devices now play a major role in every persons life. As a student we need a proper connection to study while adults need a connection to work from their respective homes.

Better Economy

2021-09-03 01:20:30 UTC

As a young filipino I believe that having a better economy will lead to a better future. If our tax money just goes to useful things like better public school system or proper handling of the COVID situation, we would not have such a downfall like we saw some time ago. The pandemic tries to beat our economy down by shutting down businesses and schools and other establishments that generate income. The Philippines is known for its rich agriculture and importing and exporting. So why can't we apply those same principles to the economy

-Yap

2021-09-03 01:21:01 UTC

-JimenezNA

Time Management

2021-09-03 01:22:49 UTC

Most people nowadays are extremely tardy and doesn't care about not doing what needs to be done first. I think this sabotages a lot of things because work only gets piled up. by having good time management you get to do things faster because you follow a schedule and you get to relax after knowing you already got the job done.

Social Action

hjaguila — 2021-09-03 01:24:54 UTC

For me, I think the Filipino youth today really needs social action, especially in these trying times. The social issues that are prevalent now are degrading our society, and we are the only ones who can save it. We have been given the blessings and talents from God to make change in our lives, therefore we must use them. We must unite and use our gifts for the better good; to be agents of change in our community and our society. Why wait for the government to solve these issues when we can already be the solution? We are the citizens of this nation, and we cannot just stand idly while it succumbs to fear and despair brought about by poverty, discrimination, abuse, and every other issue. We must stand together and face these trials head on, for the strength of one is the strength of all. We all have a part in this, and it is up to us to fulfill it by doing social action.

Sex Education

2021-09-03 01:27:12 UTC

People in my generation normalize practically everything that should not be normalized, and one of these things is teenage pregnancy. It has been a controversial topic in and out of social media, and I feel that sex education can help these young people prevent unwanted pregnancies. I believe that through free SexEd seminars, my generation would be able to widen their understanding of issues that may affect themselves, their families, and others.

Proper Education

2021-09-03 01:28:30 UTC

In our current state, education is almost like a luxury. This has lead many to be left wandering, without guidance and unknowing of their true potential. I believe that with proper education, everything will follow - the power to live a better life, the courage to change the things they can, and the wisdom to know what's right.

-Garganera

Support System

2021-09-03 01:28:46 UTC

Having a great support system matters a lot especially in the situation we are currently facing. I do think that throughout the course of this pandemic, all of us has had the chance to cry or at least feel down at some point, and whenever we experience something like that, having people who are ready to listen to you and uplift you is vital. The definition of a great support system are people who make you feel that your emotions are valid, people who celebrate with you in your highest points, and people who grieve with you in your lowest points. Your support system doesn't require a lot of people, what it requires are people you are comfortable with. It's scary to be kind today, but I hope we still choose to because the impact it has to the person you treat is priceless.

- Salazar Ganda <3

a good work mentality

2021-09-03 01:29:09 UTC

The reason why I believe this is an important for my generation is because we have more opportunities and that comfort may make us complacent in life, we still need to work as had as the previous generation and for me even harder because it is for our benefit.
-Valerio

Education

2021-09-03 01:34:01 UTC

For me, the basic need of our generation these days is good education or being an educated person. Because I do believe that education is one of the bases of our selves like our actions, how we think and react to things, and how we socialized to people is from what we know from school or from how our parents raise us. Like if your parents raise you not to be judgmental and good to people then you'll be raised like that, and you'll grow up being not toxic to society or could be a better person.

Appreciation

2021-09-03 01:34:50 UTC

I think that the desire for a feeling of importance is needed in this day and age. Appreciating people can make them be better at something. - Apilado

Attention

2021-09-03 01:36:12 UTC

I believe in this generation each one of us needs an attention especially for young adults they need a proper guidance as growing up and entering adulthood. Not every young Filipino's have this type of attention from the people they expect to give them a proper guidance they lack attention and understanding which gives them depression, stress, anxiety and some suicidal thoughts we know that some of us are being compared to others questioning our abilities and strengths cutting their self esteem, Small attacks often leads to Biggest damage.

-Ydia

Support of All Kinds, most especially Physically

2021-09-03 01:44:47 UTC

It is not to gloss over the fact that the youth is in need of mental or emotional support as well, but rather the needs of the human in general, to survive. It includes the likes of education, proper food and water, shelter, and love.

I cannot speak objectively for the entirety of the youth per se, as the inequalities of society give everyone problems, to each their own. The povertous and the depraved need physical support, while those who live a supposedly "normal" life by the standards of society are in need of mental or emotional support. There are some as well, that need all of the above.

Perhaps it is our responsibility to create a necessary evil to have a functioning society; like how money is a medium of value to purchase and trade, but have put others into places and lower positions, however solving some problems may create another, since humans have been and will always be humans. Though, I suppose that we could pick the lesser of those two evils as to grow and develop, in both physical and mental aspects.

Going back to the main point, the degradation of said aspects are a plague with the continuity of society, that such problems should be tackled indirectly; in a sense that it will be a long process to move forward. It is only through time and the help of one another that the physical and mental problems of the youth may be lessened. It is an abstract concept for me at least, that a perfect world without these may not be achievable practically, but we could get close to how we would want it to be.

Emotional Support

2021-09-03 01:47:09 UTC

I believe that our generation needs emotional support. Many teens in today's generation, particularly during this pandemic, are suffering from mental illness. Many teenagers have been exposed to traumatic events, and the majority of them are subjected to daily stressors. I believe that receiving emotional support can aid in the development of trust in others, self-love, and a sense of security in the world. -Cruz

i feel like mental health is an important need especially for this generation. A lot of young people have been feeling overwhelmed and demotivated these days and they're afraid to approach elders about it because they dont want to be called lazy since that just adds to their stress. And some people can be demotivated and have anxiety at the same time and they cant help but constantly think of what would go wrong, so i think everyone should give each other emotional support and instead of bringing someone down for failing to do something, i think we should just understand their situation and as much as possible be there for them and help them.

Sex Education
